Well-kept, rather modern hotel in Polignano a Mare. Great location, near the town and quite walkable. We had a lovely room with a balcony. The staff was helpful with some technology issues and always ready to help! Very clean and updated facility. Plenty of restaurants near by. The breakfast at the hotel was suburb. I highly recommend the hotel.

Located directly next to Llama Monachile (main cove beach) & major city sites in Polignano a Mare. Ocean cliff side views throughout the facility, but not every room. Pretty hotel lobby and restaurant, very dreamy and well manicured. The standard room with a balcony is well sized & fairly priced. No pool or private beach access as located next to main public beach in Polignano a Mare. When booking note that Positano photos are mixed in with Polignano a Mare Location. Mixed experience checking as we arrived 3ish hours before 3pm check-in. We were not met with warmest welcome, more so

Wonderful stay at this hotel. I was a bit disappointed with the room view. When I booked the room, the picture showed a room with a sea view. Based on the picture, I was under the impression that I would have a sea view. It was a bit misleading. Overall, it was a good stay at this hotel. Breakfast was of high quality. Great selection. Staff were super friendly, specially Onik (sp?) and Nikola. They took care of our luggage and drove us to the parking lot (300 meters from the hotel). Location was superb. I was able to go swimming at the Beach Monachile daily.

This was a wonderful stop on a 4 week road trip through Sicily and southern Italy. It started at the parking area, which is a 300 meter walk from the hotel. As soon as we unloaded our luggage a van appeared ready to take us to the hotel. We had a superior room in the other building. It was a bit small but everything else was excellent. The breakfast area has some beautiful views. The staff was very helpful for the most part. Only ran into an older woman at check out who wasn't helpful, everyone else was great. i recommend this hotel and hope to stay again.
