If you’re looking to stay in Polignano a Mare look no further than Amoredimare Casa Azzurra! SERIOUSLY!!!It has to be the best spot in “old town” . The location is second to none! No photos can do this place justice .The rooftop terrace has an absolute spectacular view, perfect for sunset gazing. And the small balcony overlooking the water is great to soak up the morning sun whilst having a cuppa. It’s also great for lunchtime retreat as it is shaded at that time of day and late evening for a nightcap and listen to the ocean below. Mauro and Vito( and his daughter)were fantastic hosts- we arrived a little earlier than expected which was no issue. We were let straight into the apartment and given all the necessary information and hints on where to eat and buy groceries.
The apartment is sparkling clean and has everything you need, beds were comfortable and rooms had air conditioning. We cooked all our meals in the small kitchen and enjoyed eating them on the rooftop- perfect when you have a 4 year old that’s a little tired from all the magnificent swimming. If you like to party , you are in the middle of all the action. The small alleyways and streets come alive in the night and well into the early morning, but don’t fear about the noise the position of the apartment keeps it all away from you. It’s PERFECT.
The famous Lama Monachile beach is a short walk from the apartment- you can see it from the rooftop. But be warned It gets seriously busy! If you want to go to a more family friendly beach walk around to Cala Paura it’s a lot easier to enter the water and less crowded also has a local fish grill and drinks vendors- at local prices- no fancy tourist stuff.
We could not have been more happy to stumble on this fantastic apartment it truly is a gem... we would not hesitate to book again if we ever returned. 5+ Stars !
