We had a marvelous, albeit short stay, here. The queen bed and small room next to our room with twin bed was perfect for two adults and one 5 year old girl. We have previously been in this area and when I say this location cannot be beat - it cannot. The hotel gate is literally on the bridge that overlooks the Adriatic Sea! You have direct beach access while still close to old town, shops, restaurants etc. My only negative is we didn’t stay longer.
The room is standard Italian size but you have a beautiful patio so if you need to sit and relax with an aperitivo, you can. Has a lovely garden view. There are other size rooms available, I would message the host to inquire. If you are the type to spend a lot of time in the room probably a bit small but it’s very consistent layout. If you will conduct work, there is a lovely desk to do so.
Parking on site is 10€ a day and it’s very convenient. I’ve had other Airbnb say parking is available but in reality it’s 300+ meters away. Parking in this town is not easy so on-site parking even at a small cost is remarkable.
Check in = easy. Was met by host
Check out = left keys in lobby
Towel provided white and soft. Shampoo/body wash provided. Small closet and dresser provided. Small fridge in room. Two wine glasses provided. Beach towel and umbrella available for rent.
As mentioned - location is 10000% perfect. Everything available in both directions.
I said this was our last time in Polignano e Mare but having been here I say no - we will be return again, and absolutely stay here.
