Casa Viola, Riccardo & Anna’s home, was amazing and exceeded our expectations. Purposefully-decorated with the charm of Polignano A Mare, it was such a pleasure to come back to after a day at the beach or exploring the town.
Cleanliness: 5/5
Our top priority for anywhere we stay. It was spotless.
Comfort: 5/5
Fantastic bed. Slept really well both nights. Soft towels and sheets. Good water pressure and temperature. We didn’t even use the air conditioning as the sea air and an oscillating fan was a great combination.
Hospitality: 5/5
Riccardo and Anna met us in person and described everything in the home and around the town, including tips for restaurants and visiting the famous Lama Monachile beach. They were immediately responsive with any questions we had.
Amenities and Attractions: 5/5
Inside the home, dishes, wine glasses, etc. are all well kept. If you plan on cooking, check with the hosts for the supplies they provide and what you may need.
Outside, you step onto Via Roma, one of the best streets to explore. You are minutes from markets, shops, restaurants, etc. There is also Salumeria del Ponte, a little meat shop on the right side, just over the bridge. They sell wine, olive paste, and the BEST thinly-sliced mortadella you’ve ever had.
And of course, visit Lama Monachile. Reef shoes highly recommended.
Overall: 5/5
Riccardo and Anna are truly super hosts. They have put a lot of thought and care into making Casa Viola the place to stay in Polignano A Mare.
