A lovely spot
As a family of four, we had a brilliant 10 days at Capticcio in Polignano a Mare in August. Although a little noisy at night (and first thing in the morning when glass collected from restaurants), being able to walkout into the positive buzz of shops and restaurants every evening, made it well worth it. When not out for food, the roof terrace was lovely to relax, eat and dry swim stuff on. Both showers cosy but worked fine and air-con combatted August heat well. The kitchen was well equipped - it even had Tupperware to aid packed lunch prep. Supermarkets etc all in easy walking distance. Oh so delicious fresh chocolate croissants for breakfast + ice cream, just next door.
Right from the off, Chiara (along with her son Amos) was a brilliant host. Whether we needed specific shopping recommendations, guidance re.what to do with rubbish or help understanding how to pay an annoying parking ticket (our fault) - they were both v.kind and quick to suggest lots of options. We had a hire car from the airport which was invaluable for the time we were there so we could explore the sandier beaches of nearby Monopoli (& pop to Lidl for a bigger shop). The apartment is on a pedestrianised street and parking isn’t the easiest. However, after we’d dropped off luggage when we arrived, Amos kindly went with my husband to show him where he could and could not park. We parked easily for free everyday 6-7 mins walk away so no big deal and worth it.
The famous Lama Monachile beach is indeed 5 mins walk and as stunning as the photos - beach shoes needed as v.rocky but we and kiddos had a lot of fun going through the cave, jumping in and swimming / snorkelling round again.
All round a brilliant spot with everything needed for a great time away.
Thank you for having us Chiara and Amos!
