Borgobianco Resort & Spa Polignano - MGallery

The hotel is the most tranquil, peaceful place. It is set in lovely scented gardens and from the moment you enter its gated grounds you are looked after by truly wonderful staff who cannot be more helpful. Food is outstanding, local and seasonal, typically Apulian but top chef quality, just the experience we had wanted. Rooms are spotless, comfortable and quaint. The treatments in the spa helped us instantly relax following our journey and were expertly delivered. The pool was never too busy, beds were always available and staff to look after us. Although the hotel is in a rural area it is an easy journey to Polignano and it is well located to visit other places either by car or train from Polignano. Cannot fault this place and cannot wait to go back! The most beautiful, tranquil base from which to explore Puglia, run by the best hotel staff we have ever met!

The perfect stay in the Apulian countryside. The kindness of the staff and AMAZING breakfast are the biggest standouts. The bed was super comfortable and the shower was the best.The drive to get there was a great experience in itself, a taste of the real Puglia

The staff was very kind and helpfull, breakfast was very good, dinner at the restaurant was not on our taste , too much local food not on our taste. The massages were good not exceptional. Overall a very good experience, highly recomended for everyone that want to enjoy a quiet stay and visit the region

DONT WASTE YOUR $ NOT 5star. It is def not a 5star hotel. Lobby: completely outdated, old.I was in room 118 were the ac never worked, same as wifi (for 2 days). Pool: area is disgusting, all towels are old and threads are running out the edges. Sun beds are full of sunblock and ruined by dirt. The pool itself is turning black on patches, looks like mold, as if there was no maintenance. The staff never came to ask if we wanted something from the bar, instead they were flirting with other customers. We had to walk to the bar to make them pay attention. Music was a local radio. Unacceptable! The lifeguard was on her cellphone all day long and of you asked her something she would had an attitude . Room: ac shot down at 4 am in the morning. Called the front desk, a representative came to the room said there was nothing to do, that I needed to wait until the next day to make a complain. Electricity was shut twice. Next morning I asked to speak to the manager . The solution, a cooler/fan that was dripping water all over the floor, they had to put a towel beneath the machine to stop the water from running. There was a tooth pick on the bidé that was never cleaned in 48hr. Spa: had a couples Aphrodite massage. They were understaffed. Masseurs had jeans on. Only one massage bed. The other one was a wooden table no space to lay your head on (like a massage table). Was charged 200€ for it. I explained all to the manager twice, solution never worked. Portable wifi, not a 5star hotel

We had a mixed experience of this resort. First what we didn’t like: -it’s in the middle of nowhere deep in farmland countryside. It’s over 20 minutes from civilization (less if you know the roads, but note that google maps will not help you!) The only way to reach it is through extremely narrow, abandoned dirt roads, which at night and (heaven-forbid) after some wine, are actually dangerous to drive for the average driver. We slashed the side of our tire hitting the stonewalls on an extremely narrow turn and being a holiday in August on Sunday night, we were scrooged. Will tell you more…., - the hotel itself is dated and leaves a lot to be desired. A facelift maybe necessary…, Now what turned this from a crappy experience to the highlight of our one month trip in Italy: - the staff is absolutely incredible! Every single one them is amazing. Front office, bellman, restaurant managers, servers, poolside staff, everyone!! - my husband and I will forever remember that Sunday night when the hotel manager, Martino, and front desk manager, Alessandra, insisted on coming as fast as they could to pick us up in person when we called for advice on what to do when our roadside assistance said they had to tow our car. They jumped into their personal car as we spoke, had us send them our live location to find us, waited in the street for an hour with us, handled all the communication with roadside call center, and the paperwork with the tow truck when it arrived, and booked us a ride the following day to the airport to pick up a replacement vehicle. Not only did they do this with so much graciousness, they also surprised us upon return to the hotel with arrangements for a special table at the restaurant (which is outstanding!) where they bought us dinner and a bottle of wine, to turn our bad day around. This is beyond service! We felt taken care of. Quite often, we get onto a plan of action when we are on our short American vacations and we can be quite frustrated when we are forced to deviate from the plan for even one of those precious vacation days. For us, that one day (which could have easily been the low of our Italy time) left us so inspired and grateful, thanks to those two special people. It completely changed our outlook on a lot of things (and this is our 15th trip to Italy). We are SO grateful that we had that unpleasant experience because through it we discovered the kindness, care, and authenticity in the people we met in puglia. Thank you to the very special staff at Borgobianco ❤️❤️
