Michel's home is beautiful, and his hospitality was excellent.
The location is fantastic - just under the arch in the old town, and the property has a lovely roof terrace overlooking the sea. Walking distance to all the restaurants and gelaterias you could want. Great amenities in the house, very comfortable and warm in January.
Tip - parking is a bit difficult in Polignano! We went over the bridge and got parked ok on Via Conversano, it's just a 5 min walk to the house.
Highly recommend a daytrip to Monopoli and Martina Fanca, both have beautiful historic old towns.
We visited the extraordinary Crypt of Original Sin near Matera - it has 8th century Benedictine art. It's based up a dirt track on a huge farm. afterwards, you can taste the wines and buy some pasta from the farmer. I highly recommend it.
