My wife and I and our 10 month old son had a wonderful stay in Francesco’s apartment. Francesco and his brother were super welcoming, meeting us not only at the station but on the very platform we arrived! They helped is with our (copious) baggage on the way to the apartment and also on our return journey to the station, provided lots of local tips and even some home grown early figs! The flat was perfect for our stay - very clean and with modern furnishings. It had an oven, a large fridge freezer and two induction job plates, as well as pots, pans etc. The bed was very comfortable and the bedroom has a quiet sliding pocket door, which was great for the baby. It has lots of large windows and patio doors so was lovely and light, and nearly every one has an electric shutter for blackout and to keep the flat cool. The balcony was lovely and we really enjoyed watching all the world go by in the evenings - the street is a hubbub of activity, and the double glazing when the doors were closed made the flat very peaceful. The bathroom has a large basin and a walk in shower. The whole building only contains Francesco’s two holiday lets and his office, so it’s very quiet, secure and private. There’s even a lovely roof terrace with views over the town, and a shared laundry room with a washing machine, airer, pegs, washing liquid and conditioner. Francesco provided a cot with linen and a clip on highchair which was really handy. And he let us use the ground floor storage room for our pushchair which made our lives so much easier! The flat is in a perfect location - easy walking distance to the train station, old town and beach. It’s next to a pharmacy, and there’s a great bakery (San Marco) - lovely staff and delicious soft rolls, a coffee bar and a grocers within a minute’s walk. We loved Polignano and were sad to leave. Our favourite family beaches were Porto Cavallo (a sandy cove with a handy ice cream truck for drinks and snacks) and the beach next to San Vito Abbey which has natural paddling pools for little ones. Both €15 return in a tuk tuk. And of course the lovely beach in Polignano - don’t miss a walk through it’s ‘secret’ tunnel. We highly recommend taking a boat trip to see the local caves with Marco on the only solar powered boat (Mar y Sol) which was very peaceful. A handy place for baby supplies is the parapharmacy in Via Martiri di Dogali. A highly recommended stay - can’t wait to go back!
