We received an upgrade which was incredible. Unfortunately the electric blind in the main bedroom was faulty and woke us up multiple times for 2 nights.

This property is in a fantastic location. We were unfortunately not happy with our room the first two nights upon arrival. This hotel has different categories of rooms and very very dated. The hotel needs improvement. Monica was able to accommodate our request to change rooms our last few nights. Hotel isn’t the nicest, breakfast buffet wasn’t great. Parking included and location is the best perk.

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

Book this hotel if you don’t want the room you requested, dismissive and rude reception staff that show no empathy.
Requested Superior Room in Annex building with balcony and sea view. Got given, ground floor with window that was essentially unusable because it was on a busy public walkway, completely comprising our privacy making the premium price you pay for these extras $1600 AUD (900 euros) wasteful. When questioning the staff, their reasoning was “rooms are picked at random, we have balcony and windows”. The best they could do was offer us an inferior room 2 days later at a lesser value with no partial refund, or an upgrade at an absorbent cost. Would have preferred an apology for their misleading advertising and perhaps a drink at their hotel bar. We checked out early due to a flight, and I’m still waiting on the breakfast to go box that was assured at check-in.
I will though commend the location, free parking and tuk-tuk service of this hotel.

We had a wonderful stay. Rooms were clean and spacious. Included breakfast was wonderful and very convenient location right in the main town. And free parking was a bonus. Would come back again.
