Fabulous stay, loved staying at Respiro del Mare. The stairs were a little of a challenge for my husband with a large suitcase but we thought it added to the quirkiness of the place and didn’t mind the climb. Fantastic location and a 2 minute walk to the main pedestrian area, plenty of restaurants, bars, Gelato and snack places. Andrea was always available to answer any questions and ensured our stay was enjoyable. Would recommend staying here to anyone wanting to explore Polignano and surrounding areas.

Respiro del Mare är ett väldigt fint boende och värdarna var väldigt hjälpsamma och gav oss flertalet tips på restauranger och sevärdheter. Boendet städas varannan dag vilket inkluderar nya handdukar och sängkläder vilket är väldigt trevligt. Läget på lägenheten är fantastiskt med gångavstånd till alla restauranger, sevärdheter och flertalet badplatser runt om Polignano a Mare.

Une chambre parfaite pour un long week-end, propreté impeccable, lit confortable, situation excellente près de la rue Roma et du centre. Frigo, bouilloire et café capsules, tout est là. L'accueil est vraiment très gentil et serviable, contact WhatsApp super facile en anglais ou italien.

Monolocale molto suggestivo

Posizione molto buona, un monolocale davvero suggestivo. E' davvero suggestivo aprire la porta d'ingresso e trovarsi a pochi passi dalla scogliera e dal centro. Gli interni sono come da foto, ovvero spettacolari. La ricca colazione viene lasciata sulla tavola il giorno precedente e ti fa sentire proprio a casa. Proprietario e i suoi collaboratori organizzatissimi e gentilissimi.

Arnaque. Fuyez.

BB à déconseiller. Nous avions choisi une Suite avec vue panoramique sur ("l'océan"?) la mer. La suite mesurait entre 10 et 12m2, la salle de bain inférieure à 3m2..Pour info, un rouleau de papier toilette entamé pour les 2 nuits. La vue panoramique était une vue sur les antennes de télévision derrière lesquelles on devinait la mer, nous n'étions pas en première ligne. Nous avons passé 15 jours dans Les Pouilles, c'est le seul BB dans lequel le petit déjeuner n'était pas inclus dans le prix exorbitant de 105,37 euros la nuit. Je ne vous parlerai pas de la déco. Quant à l'accès de la chambre, au deuxième étage, il se fait par un escalier que l'on pourrait qualifier d'escalier de la mort, très étroit, marches avec des hauteurs différentes, hyper dangereux..
