Staying at Gabriella’s Villa in Polignano a Mare was the best decision I made on my 3 week journey in Europe. This was by far the best AirBNB experience I have ever had.
The villa is even more beautiful than I imagined - the decor was tastefully done, the amenities were plentiful, the place was exceptionally clean and somehow it was even better than the photos. The villa is impeccable in every way. I loved all of the indoor/outdoor space, the privacy and the variety of seating options. The location is a bit out of town, but that’s exactly what I needed and the peaceful setting allowed me to rest and recover from the previous travel.
Beyond the beauty of the villa, Gabriella is an exceptional host. When I arrived, there was a beautiful spread of focaccia, pastry, snacks and even some water, soda and wine ready to go. I was blown away, it was simply wonderful. She was so incredibly kind and generous and was sure to help me get what and where I needed, always checking in on me and making me feel welcomed. I feel like she is practically family now. It was her kindness and hospitality that made my stay in Polignano a Mare exceptional. I cannot wait to go back and next time I will spend even longer.
Renting a car would definitely be the easiest, but Gabriella referred me to a transfer company that helped so much. She also was so generous in helping me pick up groceries and also spent time with me to show me around Polignano a Mare Vecchio. I’m so incredibly grateful for Gabriella’s kindness and having the good fortune to meet her and stay at her villa.
