- Sébastien (8/5): -
- ROSA MARIA (10/5): Maravilhosa - Estadia perfeita Tem escadas mas super vale a pena. Fiquei no 1o lance de escada. Mais alto e dependendo do tamanho da mala, e da forma física, fica mais difícil
- Quintino (9/5): Foi ótima a estadia - Localização
Limpeza Escada para subir para o quarto

- Mascia (9/5): Posizione centralissima ottima la location e la qualità della colazione - La colazione Nulla
- Ludovic (7/5): Une très belle halte dans une ville pleine de charme - Son emplacement en plein centre ville et sa terrasse sur la mer
Le lieu charmant et les chambres très joliment arrangées
Le petit déjeuner très copieux et délicieux L’accueil et la prestation de parking : manque de clarté sur le prix (qui n’est mentionné que dans les conditions générales de vente mais pas au moment de la demande de réservation), prix très cher (25 euros par voiture pour une nuit en parking extérieur en basse saison alors que des parkings gratuits sont disponibles en ville) et tentative à notre arrivée de demande d’un prix supérieur au prix contractuel (demande de 30 euros par voiture)
Cet épisode n’enlève rien aux très grandes qualités du B&B mais instaure inutilement un mauvais climat de défiance alors que notre séjour aurait pu être parfait.
- Fanny (10/5): -
- Anita (9/5): - Szuper volt,hogy a tetőteraszon volt panoráma a tengerre. Remek,hogy zárt es nyitott rész is van fönt. Szeles időben behúzódtunk a zárt részre.
Autót a vasútállomásnál ingyen leparkoltuk, onnan 6-8 percre van a szállás az óvárosban. Reggeli bőséges volt és finom, a hölgy pedig nagyon kedves! Apartman pedig szép. Napi takarítás kaptunk.. Lampakapcsoló érdekesen van megoldás, de vicces volt..

- Margherita (7/5): -
- Magali (9/5): Excelente - Esta a la vuelta de uno de los miradores, el desayuno rico y de buena calidad, el personal amable. La terraza donde se desayuna esta abierta y se puede ir cuando quieras, una vista hermosa del mar y Polignano e Mare Mucho ruido por la noche
- Christin (7/5): -

Petit déjeuner sur toit terrasse avec vue mer À éviter pour les personnes à mobilité réduite car escalier raide et serré. Pas de pb de notre côté couple avec 2 ados donc ok
- bogdan smochina (10/5): -
- Richard (9/5): - Very good breakfast, great views. Climbing many stairs to the room.
- gerlinde (5/5): Es war eine besondere Unterkunft, aber mit Nachteilen - Frühstücksterasse, Freundlichkeit Kein Fenster im Zimmer, wenig Licht, zu laut am Morgen, Musik von angrenzendem Lokal am Samstag bis Mitternacht
- vesna (10/5): -
- mprap (10/5): - Excellent location full of charm, the host was very nice and helpful On Saturday night, it was very noisy, loud music from a terrace nearby
- Laura (9/5): Great location. Cute cosy room. Private parking + shuttle service. Good breakfast on the terrace. - The location is great, close to a sightseeing point yet, in a calm dead end little street Mrs Rosa, the owner, was very friendly. The possibility of having a private parking (25.00 euro per night), plus the small shuttle service is an extra advantage. Very good breakfast on a terrasse. The room was very clean, is good size for 2npersons and has everything you need. The shower is in the room which is strange but works well and has good pressure jut, be attentive the water will not run out. The shower in the room. A curtain in the front would be good to avoid the cold.
- Christine (3/5): - Das Personal war aufmerksam und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück war hervorragend und wurde auf einer schönen Terrasse serviert. Das Badezimmer war sehr eng. Das Bett war unbequem: Die beiden Matratzen bewegten sich. Das Schlimmste war der Lärm einer lauten Außenanlage, der die ganze Nacht über anhielt.

- Stefania (10/5): Semplicemente stupendo. - Tutto splendido La lucetta di sicurezza verde, fa troppa luce
- Ana Cecilia (10/5): - Super ubicación en el corazón histórico de Polignano. Todo el staff fue increíblemente amable. Sólo a manera de recomendación a los viajeros hay que tener en cuenta que es posible que te asignen una habitación en planta superior y hay que subir escaleras angostas con él equipaje.

- Nadine (10/5): - La vista sul mare e perfetto!
- Ilan (6/5): -
- Bill (8/5): - Location ,very nice breakfast.A list of nice restaurants provided.Reception very helpful with sights to see. No hot water for a day.Would have been nice if a token compensation was offered (bottle of wine??)
- Carole (8/5): magique - décor très beau, très bien situé. Acomodation facile. un petit problème de pression d'eau, mais réglé au moment ou on en a parlé
- João Victor Musso (10/5): - Tudo, lugar maravilhoso, apesar de um pouco apertado mas é bem característico das instalações da região. Mt próximo a tudo, vista do cafe excelente, cafe muito gostoso e funcionários muito prestativos. A cama é extremamente confortável. Infelizmente choveu na nossa estadia e ainda pegamos um pequeno tufão, vento bem forte!
- Serra (10/5): -
- Katrina (10/5): - We loved our stay, great location, easy parking, great breakfast, would love to stay again Nothing I didn’t like, just be aware there are stairs up to apartment & breakfast but did not bother us
- Juan (10/5): Comfy bed, friendly staff and delicious breakfast. - Getting there we got lost because our Google map didn’t give us the right directions, but everyone was so kind to point us to the right direction and once we finally found it, it was literally only a short walk from the train station. Thank goodness our room was right after the main entrance to the left. Otherwise we would’ve had to climb up narrow stairs. I feel like this place was a hidden gem. Staff were always smiling and kind from the moment we got there and especially during breakfast. The breakfast room was up a short flight of stairs, very narrow thank goodness there was a handrail. Variety of choices for breakfast; fruit, nuts, hard boiled eggs, cold cuts, cheese, and of course fresh pastries This location was so close to one of the most beautiful balcony views where you can see the people at the beach between the high cliffs. Although our room was quite small, it had everything we need. I would definitely book again. Just a short walk to the beach. Oh and their laundry service was perfect Their detergent has this amazing smell. I can’t describe it, but it lingered for days. I guess I could say just having to be extra cautious to not fall on the stairs especially having to go up the stairs for breakfast and coming down was steep for me, but like I mentioned before I’m glad there was handrails because I definitely used them.
- Robbin (10/5): -
- Nicky (8/5): Beautiful spot - Beautiful setting It has very steep steps but the lovely staff sorted our bags

- Karen (7/5): -
- Robert (9/5): An excellent place to stay for our five nights in wonderful Polignano a Mare. - Susanna was very welcoming, friendly, helpful and informative. Breakfast was great and the breakfast room had great views. A very bright courtyard light leaked past the curtains all night.
- Frans (10/5): Fantastisch - Ligging , dakterras !! Ontvangst was top
Kamer junior suite erg leuk wel met trappetje naar badkamer pas op je hoofd als je langer bent dan 1.73

- Duncan (10/5): Beautiful location, rooms and great hosts. - Easy ro organise and very good communication. Private parking was organised by the hosts as you can't drive in old town, and shuttle to and from. Best breakfast and view from rooftop. Would not hesitate to stay again. Close to cave restaurant too.
- Jose Jonny (10/5): -
- Azouaou (10/5): - Absolutely everything Nothing
- JUDY (10/5): -
- Donato (2/5): Lovely place beautiful staff like I said I reported that the air conditioning wasn’t working twice and nothing was done - Everything was great. The only problem apparently the air conditioning was not working properly and it was very warm in the room couldn’t sleep well after I reported it twice still same condition. Not elevator
- Daniele (8/5): - Tutto il posto ottimo per il centro le camere e il terrazzo fantastico. Avrei gradito più pulizia anche la santificazione e dell’aria condizionata che era al quanto improponibile in quelle condizioni .
- Andreas (10/5): -
- Maria (10/5): Such a lovely holiday atmosphere! - One of the best hotels we've stayed in!
Such a lovely atmosphere, wonderful location on a small street right in the old center of Polignano and overlooking the sea.
The best breakfast we had so far! Very fresh italian products (different cheeses and meat cuts), very tasty fruits and bakery products.
The staff was lovely and at the end of our staying we'd wish we stayed much more.
We will come back!
- Siobhan (8/5): Very good. Staff were excellent! - There were a lot of steps up to our room which we were not aware of
- Debbie (8/5): Overall a lovely place to stay apart from the size of the room - This was a lovely property in a great location with a delightful breakfast included from the rooftop which had lovely ocean views. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The size of the room was way smaller than we expected and the noise from the room above was very intrusive during the night. The bathroom was particularly small and we had to go sideways to get into the shower past the toilet
- PABLO (10/5): -
- patricia (9/5): Très agréable - L’emplacement, le parking et l’accueil nous avons pu avoir la chambre en avance un vrai plaisir Il devrait prévoir des petits tri porteur pour transporter les valises quand on n’a pas de roulettes, car il faut faire cinq minutes à pied sur la partie non accessible à la voiture de Golf
- Sonia (10/5): -
- Massimo (9/5): - Staff gentile e preparato
Bella vista dalla terrazza della struttura adibita a colazione e relax
- Marcantonio (8/5): Small living quarters but great location and very good value - Great location. The room and bed are on the small side

- Dora (10/5): -
- Amaury (8/5): -
- Daniele (10/5): Splendida - Struttura carina e nel pieno centro di polignano. Caratteristico il vicolo in cui è situata.
Personale super gentile e disponibile. Colazione top!!
- IOANNIS (9/5): -
- Lucrecia (10/5): Beautiful stay! We will be back! - The location was awesome! The decor was super cute and we loved the breakfast on the roof terrace. Susanna was super helpful! We were well aware that there would be steep stairs because of the other reviews, so we were prepared and were fine with them.
- Mayeul (9/5): Superb - Very nice breakfast with a nice view! Very nice service with helpful insights into the city
- Veronika (9/5): Superb - Very good location in the old city center, very good breakfast, helpful staff. It is smaller which is normal for Polignano. Parking is best and free of charge by the railway station. You have a few other options but you pay quite a lot, no security and same walking distance. Many stores and restaurants around. It was great, just the stairs to rooms are steep so not suitable for old people.
- Richard (10/5): Amazing place ideally located and can’t wait to go back - Everything, location , staff , breakfast all fantastic No complaints at all , few steps up to the rooms so need to be aware of your not fit and healthy
- Ines (9/5): Superb -
- Belma (10/5): Exceptional - We liked the location of place, in the old town where everything is nearby. The breakfast with the view is perfect. Nothing at all.
- Joanne (10/5): Breakfast with sea view - Beautiful hotel tucked down a quiet alley. Sea views from rooftop terrace. Fantastic breakfast
- Sarah (10/5): Fantastic location, lovely room - Our room (Verde) was very charming and comfortable. The check-in and out process was easy. Breakfast was nice and the service was always excellent. The location is fantastic!!
