La Lamia must translate to heaven in English, because that's just what it is. Marco and Marilena's hospitality could not have been greater--they picked me up from the train station, they supplied me with ample food (homemade and purchased with great care), and they went out of their way to ensure my stay was perfect. Which it was. La Lamia is situated equidistant between Monopoli and Polignano a Mare--two beautiful beaches--and a relaxing, quiet respite at the end of the day. The sweet dog, Elena, is just the cherry on top... such a delight to come home to. I can't wait to return to La Lamia.
