Polignano a Mare is an extremely popular destination for summer holidays in Italy. It’s a picturesque historical town with an iconic, rocky beach and a plethora of gelaterie, pasticcerie and ristorante. It’s crowded, but only to the extent that Puglia gets crowded; it’s not the ‘casino’ of Amalfi or Rome in the summer, and the time is leisurely. Casa Reina is a fantastic location for a Polignano vacation. Centrally located, as much space as can be expected for a family of 4, a breezy terrace for cool evenings, and a short walk to everything. It’s a lovely space. Some tips: if you have a car be zen about parking, it’s a koan; if you want a fine dining experience Anticha Mura is highly recommended; try the local ‘cafe speciale’; and the gourmet gelato just up the road from the main square is a treat.
