San Lorenzo Boutique Hotel & Spa

Puglia was the final leg of our 2-week European holiday. We planned it so we could have pool and beach time toward the end of our trip. While I had initially set my sights on staying at a masseria, it was difficult to find one that checked off the boxes on our list. We landed on San Lorenzo and Polignano a Mare as our base for exploring the area. We booked a 2-bedroom suite; one room had two twins and the other a king-sized bed. The bathroom had a decent amount of space around the sink for toiletries. However, the bathroom is in serious need of a deep clean and/or refurbishment. The faucet lever appeared to have plastic at one end and many of the wall hooks need to be tightened; I was worried about hanging my toiletry bag on them. There is ample space for luggage storage throughout the suite. We appreciated the bedroom slippers as well. We did indulge in spa treatments at Senso Spa. They allowed us to include our two kids in the wellness package, which they enjoyed. I highly recommend. There was a dry sauna, steam room, hot tub, and a salt room, which I have never encountered at a spa stateside. We did splurge on the beach club in Monopoli that the hotel partners with. I highly recommend it. As for the pool on site, we enjoyed lounging out there each day. We ordered drinks and snacks from the bar area and there were plenty of seating available. We did drive into town each night for dinner and loved the proximity of center storico to the hotel.

Beautiful property with welcoming staff. We enjoyed the on site dining and pool. Our stay here was one of the highlights to our first trip to Italy.

Beautiful grounds. Great pool. Great staff. Food was great. Great service

Great property

Excellent location away from the hustle and bustle of Polignano; professional and friendly staff at the reception; stayed for one week on a half board plan and greatly appeciated the variety and quality of the freshly homemade cakes for breakfast, not to mention the great mozzarella and other local savoury produce! The dinner menu was simply amazing , both fish and meat dishes were tasty and hearty ; the maitre Mr Pasquale always had the right choice of local wines to accompany the food; special mention also to the Chef , young and very passionate, and all the waiters ! We were a little less satisfied with the servicing of the rooms, sometimes not so attentive; the issue was mentioned to the reception and we noted an improvement on the following days; could not comment onthe SPA since we did not use it.
