If you have a chance to stay at this magical place, take it. It is just as described - but better. We were a group of 9, aged between 21 + 69 and we each felt as though we had the best room, best view, best terrace, best bathroom! Best laundry even [there are two].The location is unsurpassable + Polignano a Mare perfect blend of off the beaten track + thriving little centre. Our stay was over a sunny mild Easter which added an extra insight into the warm + friendly nature of this town. Pernille was very clear with her instructions on checking in, her 'concierge' Enza was remarkable: warm, humorous + thoughtful. We had dinner that she + her friend cooked for us one night + it was stupendous. More gorgeous regional food than we could manage in one night, and the service was fantastic. Very fragrant + interesting coal-based toiletries throughout too which we loved. Internet connection was strong - a big help to 21 year old still doing university assignments for back in Australia. Palazzo Penelope possibly the best holiday we've ever had. Waking up to the view of fishermen hauling in the nets at dawn just outside your balcony, and nothing but cliff + gulls between you + them: sublime.
