Maria's apartment was the perfect base to explore Polignano a Mare. It is stylishly decorated and immaculately finished to a posh hotel standard. It has a very comfortable bed and everything you need should you want to prepare food yourself.
Maria's son and girlfriend met us, and were very kind when we arrived late after car hire troubles and saved us a parking space close by, Nico showed me where I could grab a late takeaway so we didn't starve after arriving so late. When we checked out they even set off ahead of us in their car so we could follow them and navigate the one way system with ease.
The apartment is right near the centre of the old town however the street it self is quiet and the buildings stone construction meant it was cool and silent at night.
Polignano a Mare is a beautiful town, it is clear it is full of fabulous restaurants, keep your wits about you if you are driving as some of the streets are very narrow and you can easily get caught in the one way system.
