We loved Polignano a Mare - getting there was so easy by car, and Claudia has a private garage for parking. I'm certain that her apartment is the loveliest building in town and the interior is modern, cozy and well equipped. Much larger than I expected. An incredibly short walk to the center of town, and the perfect place to stop for a day or two as you make your way through Italy! The only thing of note is that the road outside is a bit noisy first thing in the morning, but I don't mind covering my head with a pillow to catch some extra sleep so that's what I did!
