Guest Reviews

FelixChen1985 (10/5): - Definitely the best spot with better price than hotel G...ta. If you didn't stay at San Michele, don't say that you have come to Lama Monachile beach. If there's an outdoor jacuzzi, it would definitely be a plus plus. And it's a pity that the lady live upstair can watch you and hang up clothes at her balcony. (Hotel may do some planting to green the spot for privacy.)
Paulo (10/5): HOTEL E EQUIPE PERFEITOS ! - Tudo muito perfeito, hotel lindo , café da manhã perfeito e equipe representada pela HELENA todos pura simpatia ! Ficamos em um quarto com vista para praia LAMA MONACHILE ! Não tenho o que reclamar !
Sabine (10/5): - Lage Terrasse Personal
Denise (9/5): Sehr persönlich, top Service, top Lage, sehr schöne Zimmer - Personal ist aussergewöhnlich nett und hilfsbereit
Pipworld (8/5): Great Place to Stay in Polignano - Great location in the center of Polignano A Mare. The hotel is quite small and intimate, rooms are also small. This is not what we would identify as a true ‘luxury’ hotel, but it is clean, has all you need and the view is spectacular. You are paying for the view. Service was friendly and helpful, parking is outside the city walls so they will direct you to the secure parking lot and they sent a couple of strong men to meet us and carry our bags through the city to the hotel and up the stairs to our room. In the hot July heat, it was a feat! Breakfast was lovely in a cute breakfast room with a wall of pastries and sweets. They will cook eggs or whatever you like to order. There is no dinner restaurant on site but you can have an aperitivo on the roof with the stunning view.

988damiani (10/5): Beautiful views from an amazing room - Beautiful views from an amazing room. Staff was very accommodating. We had breakfast with the hotel and it was great. We stayed in a room not attached to the hotel and it was amazing.
Geraldine (10/5): The best staff ever -

Hertane (10/5): Excelente - Excelente atendimento desde a chegada até a saída ,quarto limpo,cama e travesseiro ótimo Não tem
lena (10/5): Traumhafter Aufenthalt mit dem italienischen Ambiente und sehr fröhliches und herzliches Personal! - Eine sehr fröhliches und persönliches Personal, dazu sehr serviceminded! Man hat sich sofort Zuhause gefühlt. Sehr schön eingerichtetes Zimmer, die Aussicht fantastisch! Das Frühstück ist sehr italienisch und wunderbar mit Süssigkeiten und Früchten. Nordeuropäer haben gern auch etwas mehr zum Frühstück. Es gab eine grosse Auswahl, die man extra ohne Kosten bestellen konnte, aber gern etwas mehr Information über diese Optionen.
JeffreyO664 (10/5): Fantastic boutique hotel, highly recommended - Absolutely wonderful stay! San Michele Suite exceeded all my expectations. The location couldn’t be better — right in the heart of Polignano and steps from restaurants, and shops.. The staff were unbelievably helpful and genuinely kind, going above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Our room was spotless, modern, and beautifully designed, with a calm, luxurious feel. Breakfast on the terrace was a highlight every morning — delicious food and breathtaking views. Overall, an exceptional boutique hotel experience — elegant, comfortable, and welcoming. I would come back in a heartbeat!
Geraldine (7/5): - Breakfast was excellent Staff very helpful. Spiral staircase. No door on toilet. No View in room.
migueldz (10/5): Beautiful architecture and perfect location - The hotel is a wonderful fully renovated family home. It has a rooftop terrace with views of the Polignano bay. My suite had a large living room and a separate bedroom, and two terraces overlooking the town. There are rooms with fantastic ocean views but they were sold out. The staff is excellent (I remember Valentina, General Manager; Lia, reception; Illaria, bartender terrace bar). I am very glad I experienced this hotel.
wbosma (10/5): Magical place in Polignano a Mare - This is a truly special place to stay. We had the suite with the terrace that overlooks the beach and it was just magical. A quiet oasis yet just a few steps to the main square in Polignano a Mare. The rooms are really well appointed; your bar fridge is constantly replenished and drinks on the main terrace at night are a must. The staff truly care about your experience and work hard to make it a special one
Culture56094780725 (10/5): The most beautiful 5-star luxury hotel — truly a must-stay experience. - The best 5-star luxury stay we’ve ever experienced! We came here for our honeymoon, and everything was absolutely perfect — from the beautiful hotel itself, to the attentive staff, to the incredible food. Everything was spotless and so well taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I truly hope we have the pleasure of coming back one day.
60yvettec (10/5): Incredibly memorable hotel and staff - This was the best experience possible! From our arrival greeting and the staff being so helpful with bags and communication to the welcome drink and aperitif on the gorgeous deck. Perfect location for views and walkable to everything. The staff here is truly the best. They are so kind and helpful and in constant communication making it an unforgettable experience.
Lyndsay (10/5): -
SiobhanO390 (10/5): Perfect honeymoon destination - We stayed at San Michele in Polignano a Mare for our honeymoon, and it was absolute perfection. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome and cared for. The property itself is stunning – beautifully designed, with an authentic charm that feels both luxurious and deeply rooted in the local Puglian character. The location could not be better: tucked away enough to feel private and romantic, but just a short stroll to the heart of Polignano. Every little detail made our stay special – from the immaculate rooms and serene atmosphere to the genuine kindness of the hosts. They went above and beyond to make sure our honeymoon felt unforgettable, giving us great recommendations and making everything effortless. San Michele is the kind of place you never want to leave. It gave us memories we’ll treasure forever, and we can’t wait to return. Truly a magical spot for anyone, but especially for such a special occasion.
265mimiw (10/5): Beautiful spot! - We had a beautiful stay at the San Michele Suites. We loved our room, the location within the walled city and the staff were so kind and accommodating. We will be back!
223nelyas (10/5): What a gem - Location, views, service and rooms were all excellent. The staff were just amazing and so accommodating. We absolutely loved everything about our stay!

Nancy (10/5): - Wonderful staff, amazing location…
J1801ROloredanas (10/5): You fiel at home - Great Hotel, in an incredible place at the historic area. The hotel is super cool, very clean, incredible view to the best beach of Polignano. On top of it, great breakfast and team!
Aneta (8/5): -
O5978HKmatthewm (10/5): Outstanding & Magical - What a wonderful experience from start to finish. We stayed in an ocean-suite and the view was absolutely spectacular....but even more spectacular was the outstanding service and kindness and responsiveness of the staff. I am a CEO of a company and I wish I could hire this team for my team back in the USA. Well done all around, I highly recommend for a memorable experience. Matt & Laila
Ailish (10/5): - One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at. The view was incredible but the staff were even more amazing. Would highly recommend.
O2069XCtims (10/5): 2 nights at San Michele Suite - Beautiful hotel and great location. Incredibly friendly staff that were always willing to to help get the most out of our stay.

Juan Pablo (9/5): -
Arash (8/5): - Location and views. Perfect for a night or two in polignano a mare. The staff and especially front of house (Lia) and everyone were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble for them. It made us very happy to have that interaction. Thank you
alexandrel265 (10/5): Boutique hotel with outstanding service - A Must-Visit Gem in Polignano San Michele Suite is a small boutique hotel with an unbeatable location and an incredibly attentive staff. From the moment you arrive, the team goes above and beyond to ensure a flawless stay. Communication is seamless, and every detail is handled with care and professionalism. A truly special place—an absolute must if you’re visiting Polignano a Mare.
Daniela (9/5): - O hotel tem uma vista no roof top espetacular para a praia mais famosa de Polignano a Mare. Cafe da mamha excelente, atendimento otimo de funcionarias atenciosas e simpaticas. Próximo a bares e restaurantes. Hotel silencioso. O wi fi na nossa suite nao pegava em todos os lugares....
Simon (7/5): - Great location, staff and breakfast. Our roof was below ground, hotel is much smaller than the photos depict. Not keen on the open nature of the bathroom.
Tarable (10/5): Beautiful room, perfect location, wonderful staff! - We booked the Sea View Suite with Private Terrace and were very pleased with the room. It was stylish, comfortable, and well-maintained. The view from the terrace is phenomenal and was a worthwhile splurge for a special occasion. The staff were extremely friendly and so helpful with navigating parking in town and in booking beach reservations for us. They also went above and beyond in making my birthday special by presenting me with a little cake at breakfast and singing to me. It really was a fantastic stay — I wish all hotels could be this nice!
Rachel (10/5): Perfect stay - Exquisitely decorated rooms. Great views, lovely rooftop terrace. Wonderful staff. Nothing
Y3205PBamys (10/5): 3 nights in Polignano a Mare as a family - We loved this hotel. Excellent service, kind and caring staff. Very much appreciated Marika, Valentina, Modesto and the others - everyone was so lovely. Loved how charming and quaint this property was - amazing views. Excellent location. Easily walkable everywhere. The staff provided excellent recommendations into town that were honest. Would stay here again! We travelled with our six year old son and it was amazing!
Grannyinwaiting (4/5): Expensive, no facilities - Booked this hotel in January 2025, paying 1/3 of the full cost. About 10 days before we arrived we received an email with a link for full payment. We contacted the hotel to explain that we were on holiday and hadn’t got access to secure WiFi. There attitude was rude and no matter what we had to pay! Had constant WhatsApp messages asking when we would arrive there on the first day, when you are paying over £1200 a night I would like the flexibility to arrive when it suits me. Sent me a pin for the private car park which was very vague. When I phoned for more information I was then told that I had to wait for someone to show me where to go. Why didn’t they mention that? Shown the room, lovely, couldn’t fault the space or view. No bottle of bubbly that the instagrammers receive! No window in the bathroom but we did have a VERY NOISY EXTRACTOR FAN! When I mentioned at reception about the noise and waking up my husband if I need to go to the bathroom during the night, I was told that they had replaced the fans in 3 rooms but not ours yet! Then sat in the room and music was coming through the vents. I again went down to ask why, apparently the workmen put speakers in there! I couldn’t even reply to that. I was told that they could turn the music off but I said it’s fine if that is how it works. The laughable thing was that the music only played in the reception and our room, none on the terrace or in the breakfast room. Breakfast was nice and staff lovely. But buffet. Whilst in Puglia my husband and I stayed in 4 other places, all cheaper than this hotel, one was £120 a night. All had table service. I thought it was funny that a couple of ladies had everything bought over to them, even the massive bowl of yogurts, maybe they thought they shouldn’t have to go to a buffet table :) The day before we left we arranged the our luggage would be moved to our car and we could then either meet someone at the car park or they would bring the car to one of the gates to the old city. The morning of departure we requested the pick up at the gate only to be told that wasn’t an option! So car park it was. In the afternoon we had one of their WhatsApp messages stating that we could meet at the gates. Feeling slightly annoyed we left it as we had arranged earlier. Then they messaged us about the time of pick up, stating that it would be too late for our flight. Another piece of misinformation by them. My husband and I have stayed in hotels ranging from Premier Inns to The Four Seasons on Bora Bora, so we have a pretty good idea of value. This hotel is a rip off. Yes great location but no facilities at all. The bar on the terrace was never open so we would get a beverage from the minibar and walk up the spiral staircase(scary). I’m still asking myself why did I book it!!!!!
310gayanek (8/5): Beautiful Views & Relaxing Terrace - The hotel offers a stunning view of the water, and the terrace is the perfect spot to relax and take it all in. The room was comfortable and clean, and the staff were friendly.
Trail525940 (10/5): Great location - Fantastic little vacation. Great location very kind staff Rooms were clean and the view is spectacular. I would come back!
georgietrips (10/5): Highly recommended - Kind and helpful team running this gem of a hotel. Use the secure parking they offer if you have a car. Only 5 min walk to the beach - go for early morning swim before it gets busy and bring swim shoes as it is stony.
Alison (9/5): Exceptional service, great location - The staff are exceptional, so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. They really care about their guests’ holidays. Breakfast is lovely, freshly prepared every day with local ingredients.
aap_traveler_sf (10/5): Magical - Our family of four stayed in Sea View Terrace suite for 4 nights. It was magical. The suite itself was beautiful. Newly remodelled, very stylish, spacious, immaculately clean, with the most amazing views. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and linens luxurious. The suite is located right in the hart of Polignano a Mare. The breakfast room was also stylish and breakfast selection was excellent - fresh fruit, pastries, nuts, eggs dishes, great coffee and much more. What made our stay even more special were the wonderful women who work there. We were greeted by Marika and her contagious smile and energy made our day. All women are so warm, thoughtful with beautiful smiles and helped us so much with reservations and feeling at home. We cannot wait to come back.
Alison (8/5): Very good -
787tessb (10/5): Just Book it - 5*+ - This hotel was an amazing experience from the time we arrived. All the staff were absolutely amazing . The rooms gorgeous, the view was incredible. Everything top notch! location was perfect, right in the middle of everything - plenty of restaurants and shops. Do not hesitate to book this place 5 star+++
Europeantraveler0504 (10/5): Still the best - We arrived here late because we had a late flight arriving in Bari. The staff is terrific and very accommodating. We loved our stay and it is in the best part of Polignano a mare. Unfortunately we were unable to stay longer. We cant wait to return to such a fantastic hotel. Also, the bed was very comfortable and breakfast superb.
Joseph (10/5): Exceptional -
Kearney (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful setting with sea views. Staff were exceptional. Breakfast was delicious. Freshly squeezed orange juice superb scrambled eggs to home cooked raspberry pie. Wonderful two night stay.
ninarG84ZB (10/5): a dream experience - Absolutely incredible experience at San Michele Suite. From the moment we were picked up at the airport to the moment we left we were treated like royalty. The location is perfect, everything is clean and beautiful, and the staff is the most accommodating and attentive. The breakfast was so beautiful. I cant wait to come back.
Angela (8/5): Very good -
Marcia (9/5): Loved it! Location amazing, views breathtaking, staff incredible! - Charming staff Delicious breakfast Lovely room and hotel decor Unbeatable location and views Bathrobes Excellent in room coffee/tea caddy Good mirrors Nice aperativo Great terrace Small tweaks to recommend - bathroom fan very noisy, not enough hooks/shelves in bathroom for personal toiletries. Could use a shelf near long mirror so one could use it to get ready while other is using bathroom.
warroad (8/5): Great location but you must be in good physical shape. - Beautiful boutique type hotel in the historic area. Staff is fantastic and breakfast, happy hour are over the top. Great views from terrace roof during Happy hour. No elevators or access to parking. Location is really great but make sure you can go up and down firehouse stairs. We paid a lot extra for a Seaview suite. Not worth the extra money, just had a side window of the sea. Small room. Parking lot is a 10 minute walk away.
kerrylG8665EN (10/5): Extremely accommodating, beautiful hotel - We traveled here with our 7mo daughter and everyone was extremely helpful and accommodating during our stay! (Assisting with finding rental car meetup, bringing breakfast to room because baby was still sleeping, helping with our daily activities) they also had a high chair for breakfast and crib for her! they truly went above and beyond and helped to make travel with a baby go so much smoother!
Warren (9/5): Wonderful Staff and be in good shape to get to the hotel and room - The breakfast and staff were incredible. Did everything you could have asked and more. They brought my bags from a faraway parking lot and brought them to my room. Amazing Happy Hour on the terrace roof. Great views and in the historic area of town. No Elevator and stairs that are like a fire station. Have to go several floors to reach the terrace roof. Should be told that the parking is far away from Hotel. Best to ask for Terrace suite, the seaview suites are nice but small and really no worthwhile views.
Domenic (10/5): Beautiful boutique hotel, staff was vey attentive and made our stay in Polignano FANTASTIC - Perfect location, rooms were great and the staff was phenomenal!!!! Nothing everything was excellent

debrawV7976FP (10/5): Good base - Staff was so helpful and pleasant. Lots of choices for breakfast and really good. We used this hotel as a base to visit the surrounding area and it was a good choice for that. The town itself doesn’t have a lot to offer, other than beautiful views.

nishan22_77 (10/5): Stunning Hotel - We recently stayed five nights at the San Michele Suites and had a wonderful time. The pictures really don’t do justice. The hotel had recently reopened (closed during the winter). April is a great time to visit Puglia - it’s a little cold to go swimming, but the towns are are open and there are no crowds. San Michele Suites is located in the old part of Polignano e Mare - it’s right on a cliff overlooking one of the most famous beaches in Puglia. There are no cars allowed in this part of town, so you need to make your way with luggage by walking (the staff help). Polignano e Mare itself is a great small cliffside town with a lot of restaurants and easy accessabilty to other towns in Puglia. In fact, we used it as our base to visit Monopoli, Alberobello, Cisternino, Matera, and Bari. The hotel is very much an ultra boutique property with only a handful of rooms. There is no onsite gym or restaurant, but the property is literally a stone’s throw from everything so you don’t miss it. Breakfast is served in a room off the lobby and is just wonderful. Fresh pastries, juices, coffees, fruit, bread and then anything hot made to order (eggs, pancakes, toasts, etc.). It was probably the best breakfast we had over two weeks in Italy. The housekeeping service is spectacular- the rooms was cleaned twice a day - towels, water, coffee was replenished each time and we had absolutely no complaints. Our room overlooked the cliff and was just amazing. We opened our window / door each day to a lovely ocean breeze. The view was out of a postcard. The room was a beach / coastal motif, which was very relaxing. We had plenty of space with a separate sitting area, two tvs, a fridge, coffee maker, etc. I would note that the hotel does have a winding circular staircase, and don’t think they have an elevator. We really didn’t mind as the location was perfect and rooms were great. Lastly, I would point out the fantastic service we received each day. Despite the small size of the hotel, they helped to arrange everything - advice on sights to see, where to eat, what to do, etc. No request was too great. We had a wonderful time at San Michele Suite and hope to return someday
Rosemarie (10/5): Exceptional service, great location ! - We had a fantastic stay at San Michele Suite !! Everything was exceptional from the room to the staff, to the plentiful breakfast.

metz101 (10/5): One of the Best Stays Ever! - The location, room, and staff were absolutely perfect. The communication prior to and during our stay was great ensuring we had everything we needed to make our stay a memorable one. The room was truly wonderful with beautiful furnishings and linens, along with a clean decor. The balcony and views were beyond fantastic. We travel a fair bit and this was the best hotel experience thus far.
Y2601AEtoddp (10/5): Spectacular experience - My wife and I just finished our stay at this fabulous suite where we were treated like royalty. The view from our balcony may be one of the most spectacular in all of Italy. We were delivered an amazing breakfast every morning that would rival any 5 star restaurant. If you are looking for an unforgettable experience, San Michele Suites is a must.
ricopd (10/5): The most iconic spot in Puglia - We stayed in the Terrace Suite for 2 of the best nights we have ever spent in a hotel. The terrace overlooks one of the most iconic spots in Puglia. The room is absolutely fantastic. That alone would be enough. However, the entire staff of this charming small hotel is what made our stay so great. From our text exchanges when booking, to their spot on travel advice, fantastic breakfasts, rooftop happy hours, restaurant recommendations, you name it! If the terrace suite is available book it. If not the hotel is charming. Fred and Joan
sola123 (10/5): Like living in the post card - Picture post card beautiful, so comfortable and luxury service by the best team you will ever meet. We spent 5 days being spoiled by beautiful views, beautiful food and comfortable beds. Every detail is thoughtfully executed. Delicious full breakfast freshly made to your order. They pay attention to your likes and dislikes and things suddenly appear when you need them. Enjoy the roof terrace for the best view of the sunset.
jengM9131XB (10/5): A Perfect Stay at San Michele Suite - From the moment we arrived in Polignano a Mare, our trip was nothing short of amazing due to our stay at San Michele Suite. The hotel was absolutely stunning, cleanliness was impeccable, the daily breakfast was delicious, the welcome-drink on the rooftop was so appreciated, the stunning location, the effort the staff made to arrange any excursions and reservations we desired and the everyone that worked there was so kind. We are so grateful for our stay at San Michele Suite and to the staff at San Michele Suite that made it such a perfect stay. We look forward to returning soon!
Ipek (9/5): Superb - Super breakfast. Amazing staff. They made us feel at home.
maryjok585 (10/5): Amazing staff! - After arriving from the states without our luggage we were warmly greeted by Valentina and told there was a welcome cocktail waiting for us on the rooftop. When we reached the rooftop that overlooks the beautiful cove and Serena was waiting for us with amazing cocktails and appetizers. Serena and staff prepared the most delicious breakfast (the best of our whole trip). We had a medical emergency that required a trip to the hospital, Medesto drove our person to the hospital and was able to translate and get him pushed through quickly. Serena, Valentina and Marika all helped us with the late checkout and transportation. Our group has already said we are going to return to San Michele!
