We loved Claudia's apartment. It is within walking distance to the old town - and in a location with lots of little shops with nice local food. The opening times had me stumped (they shutter up over an extraordinarily long lunch) but when open you can get anything you want. My favourite was the cheese shop just a few doors up and the focaccia store that did a roaring business (and rightly so). The old town is magnificent with some amazing views and restaurants . And it's wonderful walking the nearby cliff-top path, especially in the morning. Claudia has a dedicated parking garage - and I encourage you to rent a car and explore all the wonderful nearby towns. Overall, we had just a fantastic time all made possible by the great location that is Polignano!
