Borgobianco Resort & Spa Polignano - MGallery

"The resort is quite run down and old for its value and we were quite disappointed. Otherwise the service was good and staff was helpful!"

Hotel Grotta Palazzese

"This was an awful experience. We paid an astonishing amount each night for our 4 night stay. We had noise above and later found out that the adjacent noise to our room that we heard each morning was the staff kitchen entrance which commenced door banging at 7am on each day even on weekends. Camping is quieter and this was awful. We tried to move rooms after one night and whilst the hotel app showed availability for other rooms the staff had clearly dealt with these issues beforehand and lied. They said there was no availability as this room that we wanted to move to as it was next door to our noisy room had an electrical fault - which was clearly a lie. All in all probably the worst experience of a high priced hotel anywhere I have come across. Visitors to the adjoining restaurant also left hugely disappointed after paying €300 per head for a terrible meal. Oh and forgot to say no tea or coffee facility and 2 coffees on room service came after 30 minutes - they were cold - in a hotel of 6 rooms/suites. Don’t be conned by their private beach at their sister hotel. That is a 43 room hotel and the private beach is busier than a Spanish/Moroccan border in July..!! Avoid this place at all costs."

Cala Ponte, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

"Hotel Cala Ponte is a charming retreat in a quaint Italian town along the Adriatic Sea. It is ideally situated near several beautiful towns in Puglia, including Bari, Polignano a Mare, Alberobello, Monopoli, Locorotondo, Matera, and Fasano, making it a perfect base for exploring the region. The hotel’s design is lovely, with a central restaurant and reception area surrounded by accommodation units nestled in a serene park filled with olive trees. The rooms are spacious, well-insulated, and feature terraces. The beds are comfortable, and the bathroom is stylishly done—though the choice of a wooden floor was impractical. Unfortunately, moisture has caused water damage around the shower area, resulting in a noticeable musty smell, particularly when entering from outside. The hotel grounds include a beautiful swimming pool within the park, though it was a bit too cold for us to enjoy during our stay. There are also tennis courts and a larger pool nearby for additional activities. Service in the restaurant is attentive, and the food is excellent. Staff are knowledgeable and take care with allergens, providing helpful guidance for guests with dietary needs. Overall, Hotel Cala Ponte is a delightful spot with a lot of charm and a great location for exploring the scenic Puglia region"

Grotta Palazzese Beach Hotel

NelBlu B&B

"First of all, it is very difficult to find the location of the hotel. At least there should be a sign outside. The accommodation was clean but very small, and only the bare minimum was provided."

Montegrottone Nature Retreat

"Beautiful hotel, near Polignano (10 minute drive). Staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. Room was tastefully decorated and very spacious. Tennis court and swimming pool. Great breakfast and amazing views of the sea. Will go back without a doubt."

Al 22 Suite & Spa Luxury Experience

Masseria Auraterrae

"The external location is well looked after, as are the internal spaces. The dinner menu allows the choice of à la carte dishes or a tasting menu of 4 dishes of your choice (costing 80 euros). We did not opt ​​for the tasting and chose 5 dishes (first and second course) and 2 sorbets. The quality of the food is excellent, as is the dinner service. The only flaw, which made us leave with a bad taste in our mouth, was at the time of the bill. They gave us a bill that took into account 2 tasting menus (8 dishes) - instead of the 5 dishes and two sorbets ordered - and therefore higher than it should have been. When we pointed this out to the waiter he justified himself by saying that with this option (2 tastings) we would have spent less, which we pointed out was not true. We asked to redo the bill which was OBVIOUSLY lower than the one given to us. When we were given the correct bill, we weren't even given an apology, a gesture that we didn't appreciate at all. Given that education and correctness should be the basis of any restaurant service, in a 5-star farm it is essential. "Smart things" like these should never happen and if they do happen it is best to apologise. Sin."

Giovì Relais

" Immediately adjacent to the old centre of Polignano, the hotel feels new, but styled on older local buildings, and using local materials. How often can you lay in bed, looking up at clamshell fossils in the stones of your arched ceiling? Our room (and the whole building, which features a spa in the cellar) felt calm and comfortable. The breakfast terrace was on the roof, with lovely views over the town, out to sea. Breakfast was reasonable - not the greatest selection in the world, but enough to keep you going until lunchtime. The nearest car-park is 6 or 7 minutes walk away, although if you know what you're doing, you can always stop briefly at the back door of the hotel to load/unload luggage. Staff very friendly and helpful."

Vicolo Fiorito B&B

Musae Relais & Spa

"Wonderful service and comfortable room. What stood out was the great service and breakfast. The reception was super helpful in arranging dinner and activities"

Musae Al Mare

"The hotel provides free parking, free bicycles, free afternoon tea and free breakfast, and the meals are very rich,  service is not  often thoughtful ! The equipment in the hotel is very new and clean, beautifully furnished, and the jacuzzi is clean.  But what surprised me was that according to the photo, I thought it was a two-story apartment. As a result, I had to go up the stairs outside to get to the rooftop, and there was actually a building outside the landscape. I wanted to have a 180-degree sea view. I can only see it from a certain angle. I feel that the photo is a little less distorted. There is a bit of deduction here . "
