The Flower’s Cottage is a lovely property about 10mins by car from the centre of Polignano a Mare. We chose not to drive, so if you are doing the same you may just want to bear in mind that taxis tend to get booked up in advance so you’d want to contact them hours ahead (or sometimes days ahead for longer trips). Carmela was very helpful in arranging transfers to and from the airport in advance.
The pool was regularly cleaned and refreshing, and Carmela was a great host with wine and something to eat on arrival. She showed us around the property and advised how to lock up and had arranged for a lovely lady called Barbara who runs Apulian Luxury to be there at arrival also who we used to book a few activities for our ‘hen party’. The property is in a quiet area and is a total sun trap. The seating area is always shaded so is a great spot to eat when the sun is out, and we used the TV to access music channels for something to listen to in the evenings. Plenty of room for the 4 of us and the kitchen is well equipped. Everything we needed such as towels and basic cooking and cleaning essentials were provided.
Polignano a Mare itself was beautiful and there is plenty to see. Everyone was so generous - we were given all sorts from a ton of fresh cherries from Barbara to free olives at the market. I highly recommend the Extra Virgin Olive Oil tasting, it really opens your eyes and shows how most UK shops do not stock such a high quality product.
Carmela solved a problem for us when our taxi driver could not find the property and was able to explain the exact area. She was always quick to reply and asked how we were doing.
Highly recommended and would love to return in the future, thank you!
