Well, where do I even start? If I could give Mario 10 stars I would. This is by far the best place we've stayed in all of Italy, (photos do not do it justice) it was our most memorable Air BnB to date.
Firstly, Mario is an amazing host. Very helpful, gracious and unbelievably thoughtful. He met us at our car to help carry our bags (which we weren't expecting at all) even though we were running late, and upon arrival he had bottles of wine, nibbles and his cleaner had left us a cake and put rose petals everywhere as it was our honeymoon. We were so overwhelmed at how kind his was!!
So - Check in was a breeze and Mario has GREAT communication - he replies super quick and speaks good English.
Then comes the best part - the house! It's is unbelievably beautiful, it's been in Mario's family over a century and feels like a castle. It's got absolutely everything you need, very clean, spacious, and gorgeously decorated. It was honestly like out of a movie.
The location can NOT be beat in Polignano a Mare. This is THE best location you can get. It's overlooking the ocean on the main lookout where tourist come to take photos. We couldn't believe it. It's situated in the heart of the old town so everything is walking distance and it's the prettiest part of the town.
Mario was able to provide some amazing recommendations for food too. Our personal favourite was Casa Mia which we went back to twice we loved it so much. It's also walking distance to the main beach which is the real attraction!!!
Thank you again Mario for making our honeymoon so memorable. We will definitely be coming back to our beautiful home (for longer next time)!!
If you're hesitating to book this place - DONT! Book now. You won't regret it!
