This place is absolutely magical. And the fact that it kind of looks like Dickie Greenleaf's apartment in The Talented Mr. Ripley makes it next level.
I'll also say that the photos of the view do this absolutely NO justice whatsoever. You have to experience it to truly understand, but when you walk out onto the terrace, you have a 180 degree view of endless sea surrounded by caves to the right and cliffs to the left.
Yes, like other reviewers have said, it's directly adjacent to a public piazza. Honestly, it was a bit odd at first, but you get over it very quickly.
If you're looking for a magical home base during your stay in Polignano a Mare, Giorgio's apartment is perfect.
We at out most nights, but during our trip, we learned to make fresh handmade cavatelli with a local woman named Lucia and her mama (it was something we found on airbnb experiences and is called Pasta in Mani... look it up and DO IT!).
We brought the cavatelli (plus fresh tomatoes and garlic from Lucia's garden!) and made dinner. Then, we pulled the table out onto the terrace and ate under the moon while overlooking the sea.
I can't say it enough... this was pure magic.
