Free Your Mind Gianluca
Cozy Home w/ Outdoor Patio & Just steps from the sea!
Welcome to Free Your Mind – Gianluca, an intimate gem in the heart of Polignano a Mare, perfect for couples and families alike. Just steps from the sea and the historic centre, this home blends relaxation, comfort, and style — featuring a modern kitchen, a cosy living room, and a enchanting outdoor patio for dinners under the stars..
Overall Space:
Bedroom
The bedroom welcomes you with an atmosphere of quiet and serenity, enriched by neutral-toned walls and soft textiles that invite you to rest. The large double bed, dressed in fresh, high-quality linens, commands the space, while warm light filters gently through the sliding door, wrapping the room in a relaxing embrace. Minimalist light-wood furniture adds an understated elegance, creating the perfect retreat after a day of exploration.
Living Room
The living room is a bright and airy space, featuring a comfortable sofa bed in natural fabrics and light flooring that enhances the sense of openness. Warm tones and wooden details make the atmosphere welcoming and familiar. Air conditioning and heating ensure comfort in every season, while natural light pouring through the French door sets the scene for quiet moments of reading and intimate conversation.
Kitchen
The kitchen — modern, functional, and full of inspiration — is a genuine invitation to explore local cuisine. Stainless steel countertops and bright tiled surfaces give it a clean, contemporary feel. Fully equipped with an oven, hob, refrigerator, toaster, citrus juicer, and a capsule coffee machine featuring Esse Caffè, it has everything you need to prepare delicious meals. Carefully selected cabinetry and accessories add a refined touch, while direct lighting illuminates every corner, making every culinary moment a pleasure.
Bathroom
The bathroom is elegant yet practical, with modern finishes and light surfaces that maximise brightness. A spacious walk-in shower with clear glass and a wide rainfall showerhead pairs beautifully with crisp white towels, while thoughtful details — soap dispensers and a backlit mirror — complete a serene, functional space perfectly designed for refreshing yourself at any time of day.
Outdoor Patio
The true jewel of the home is the outdoor patio: an intimate and sheltered space with light-coloured paving that echoes the Puglian tradition. A glass-top table and comfortable chairs invite you to linger over lunch and dinner beneath a starlit sky. Soft ambient lighting creates a magical atmosphere — perfect for unwinding and sharing stories with loved ones, surrounded by the sea breeze and the gentle quiet of the evening.
Access to the property
Access to the property is via self check-in, with personalised digital codes sent ahead of arrival to ensure complete privacy and effortless convenience. Guests have full and free use of all areas of the home, including the bedroom, living room, fully equipped kitchen, and the private outdoor patio.
Guests interaction
We believe that a truly memorable stay begins long before you arrive. From the moment you book, we'll be available to answer any questions, share local tips, and ensure every detail is taken care of — so you can focus entirely on enjoying Polignano a Mare.
We respect your privacy and independence, so we won't be present at the property during your stay. That said, we're always just a message away — whether you need a restaurant recommendation, help with the house, or simply want to know the best spot to watch the sunset from the cliffs. We typically respond within minutes and are happy to assist at any time.
Before your arrival, you'll receive all the information you need: access codes, directions, house guidelines, and a curated selection of our favourite local gems — from the best focaccia in town to the quietest coves for a morning swim.
Our goal is simple: to make you feel at home, in one of the most beautiful corners of Puglia.
Other Things to Note:
The home is located in the heart of Polignano a Mare, just steps from the iconic cliffs and crystal-clear beaches that have made this town world-famous. The historic centre, a labyrinth of narrow lanes and charming little squares, is filled with traditional restaurants, gourmet cafés, and artisan shops where you can soak up the authentic Puglian atmosphere. Public transport is easily accessible, with train station connecting you to Bari and other nearby destinations. Supermarkets, bars, and all essential services are within close reach, while the home's peaceful position ensures a restorative stay — away from the tourist bustle, yet always within easy reach of everything worth seeing.
