Find Bed and breakfasts in Polignano a Mare

We are a couple in our mid sixties and are from the States. I am very critical and picky where we stay and don't give glowing reviews freely. This is an amazing property right in the historical center. You are in the middle of everything and it is very easy to walk anyplace that is needed in town. The town is very busy during the day but at night you feel very local and it is authentic. Many locals are living in apartments near Antico and the town is so charming. Think women talking on balconies in Italian and you are immersed in this. We stayed in suite 2 and it had all the comforts as needed. Just be aware that suites #2 and suites #3 require you to walk up several steep steps. Next time, I would stay in suite #1 as it had a beautiful balcony right over the famous beach where the Red Bull cliff competition takes place. Our suite had beautiful windows opening up to the beach but no outdoor space to sit. Suite #3 has a large balcony but room is a bit smaller. What really makes this place special is Emio. His is simply amazing. Even before I booked, Emio was so helpful not only with the rooms but the area as a whole. He was ALWAYS available via whatsapp. No request was too large and always done promptly and with a smile. He helped making all the dinner reservations, changing reservations, getting us a TUK TUK and guides in other parts of Puglia. He is just a gem and a true ambassador not only of his property but to Puglia. Make sure you take Emio's recommendations for restaurants as he knows what he is talking about not only in Polignano but throughout Puglia. All of his suggestions were spot on and authentic. While this property is considered more of a B & B than a hotel, don't let this deter you from staying here. There are plenty of bars/restaurants within a one minute walk of the property. We usually stay at top of the line hotels, think Four Seasons, Belmond, Ritz, St. Regis properties and the service at this hotel was better than any of these deluxe properties. Emio is so genuine and treats you like family. We were very sad to leave and we stayed six nights Just stay and experience what the Puglia hospitality is really all about. Grazie Emio for everything. Wish you much continued success!!!
