Maria's place in Polignano a Mare was simply amazing. As others have mentioned the location could not have been more ideal. It was about a 3-5 min walk to the main intersection where the entrance to Lama Monachile and the little old town. The accommodations were clean, spacious, well-stocked with everything you would need. Best of all was Maria! She was great!! She met us upon arrival and made sure we felt settled in, and let us know the ins and outs of the area. It made such a difference to have a host greet us and make us feel welcome. She spoke only in Italian to us but through hand signs and pointing we understood her just fine:)
