This property was great in a great location. Parking was a bit of a walk but nothing outrageous. The breakfast offered was great and it is close to the old town. A bit pricy for what it offers but I would stay again.

Great location. Restaurant and breakfast room have magnificent views of Polignano a Mare and the Adriatic Sea. Rooms are traditional Old European Style but very comfortable and quiet. Staff very pleasant and accommodating throughout. Breakfast very good. Excellent value and would come again if in the area.

This was a wonderful stop on a 4 week road trip through Sicily and southern Italy. It started at the parking area, which is a 300 meter walk from the hotel. As soon as we unloaded our luggage a van appeared ready to take us to the hotel. We had a superior room in the other building. It was a bit small but everything else was excellent. The breakfast area has some beautiful views. The staff was very helpful for the most part. Only ran into an older woman at check out who wasn't helpful, everyone else was great. i recommend this hotel and hope to stay again.
George, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Wonderful stay at this hotel. I was a bit disappointed with the room view. When I booked the room, the picture showed a room with a sea view. Based on the picture, I was under the impression that I would have a sea view. It was a bit misleading. Overall, it was a good stay at this hotel. Breakfast was of high quality. Great selection. Staff were super friendly, specially Onik (sp?) and Nikola. They took care of our luggage and drove us to the parking lot (300 meters from the hotel). Location was superb. I was able to go swimming at the Beach Monachile daily.

Fabulous hotel

What an amazing hotel right on the lookout of Lama Monchile. The classic rooms with balcony were a great size although the shower was triangular so on the smaller side but perfectly fine for us. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. The day we arrived we were disappointed we didn't have a view and asked if we could lay for an upgrade. As we were staying 5 nights they didn't have the avail6fir the whole 5 nights but they did for that first night and they offered us 2 different rooms for the night complimentary and we choose the corner panoramic suite and the views were amazing. Our classic balcony room was on the street side with slight water views and were really quiet, so don't let that put you off. The rooms and hotel were spotless, well decorated and very modern and new. I'd stay here again. Breakfast was always fresh with a great assortment and the staff always accommodating to needs. Thank you for a memorable 5 nights

Atendimento muito bom. Localização do hotel excepcional, ao lado da principal praia e da estatua de Domenico Modugno. Boas instalações porém o ar condicionado não estava funcionando, o que nos rendeu uma péssima noite com calor. Café da manhã razoável.

This property is in a fantastic location. We were unfortunately not happy with our room the first two nights upon arrival. This hotel has different categories of rooms and very very dated. The hotel needs improvement. Monica was able to accommodate our request to change rooms our last few nights. Hotel isn’t the nicest, breakfast buffet wasn’t great. Parking included and location is the best perk.

Uma surpresa agradabilíssima!!!!!!! Fica em cima da rocha bem na praia que é cartao postal da cidade!!!! Meu quarto era o mais “simples”, mesmo assim com vista lateral do mar, a vista do cafe da manha é de tirar o folego! Trata-se de um hotel pequeno, mas extremamente aconchegante e de otimo gosto! Cafe da kara muito muito bom! Da ate para almocar se quiser! O hotel tem restaurante, com musica a noite! Meu quarto ficava em cima, eu nao me incomodo. Mas eh alta. A meia noite para tudo! Tem estacionamento ha 6 min do hotel. Eles tem tuc tuc para buscar no estacionamento se quiser. Da para fazer tudo a pe! Nos amamos! Fui com meu filho de 9 anos que amou também. A entrada do hotel eh a partir das 15hs e o check out tem q sair as 10hs do quarto! Tem que se programar! Eles guardam as bagagens! Com certeza voltarei ! Maravilhoso!

Beautiful location but not the most comfortable

Beautiful location but not the most comfortable stay The hotel is in a great spot — very well located in Polignano a Mare with stunning views. However, the beach below is more for admiring than enjoying: very rocky, rough sea, and not ideal for swimming or lounging. The hotel itself is charming, but comfort could be improved. The bed and pillows weren’t very comfortable, and the bathroom was quite small. That said, if you’re planning to stay in Polignano, it’s still a solid choice overall — just manage your expectations.
