We had a wonderful holiday in Polignano. We were a group of 5 adults and 3 teens, and the location was perfect - very peaceful yet a few minutes walk from bars and restaurants and next door to a little supermarket. There are lots of different bars and restaurants, ranging in price and mostly very reasonable.
The apartment is incredibly spacious, with very large bedrooms. The kitchen is small but there is an adjoining large dining room. There is air con throughout. The balcony is long and fairly narrow, with early morning and late afternoon sun. Vito was available for the whole week on WhatsApp for any help we needed; for example when we requested kitchen knives and an iron and ironing board these were supplied to us very quickly.
Polignano is a lovely town, with a beautiful old town area and a public stony beach with surrounding cliffs and caves for diving and swimming. It's stunning but often very crowded, and in the shade from about 4.30pm. Everyone wears swim shoes to protect themselves from the sharp rocks. The water is crystal clear and warm.
Vito organised three trips for us which all went really smoothly and was very helpful because there don't seem to be taxis in the town. We went for a day with a driver to explore Puglia, a boat trip along the coast, and for a day to a gorgeous sandy beach near Monopoli at a private beach club. This was expensive but a fantastic treat on our last day!
