Dimora Grottone

The location is excellent with both the sea and the centre only a couple of minutes' walk, yet very quiet at night for a good night sleep. The central station is approximately 10 minutes' walk and from here you can catch trains to many other locations such as Monopoli (5 min journey), Bari, Ostuni and many more. Near the station you can also catch a bus to Alberobello, approximately one hour journey. The rooms and whole building are very well maintained and very secure. The owner Gianni takes very good care of the building and its guests; he genuinely cares and would do anything to ensure they have a pleasant stay. His customer service skills are exceptional, he is always available to support with any enquiries and willing to go the extra mile. He replies within minutes and has an extensive knowledge of Polignano and surrounding towns as well as what these have to offer; I tried most of the restaurants he suggested and I was never disappointed. The boat tour suggested was the best! I have never before received the level of service Gianni has provided in similar accommodations and I would highly recommend Dimora Grottone. I am immensely grateful to Gianni and I am most definitely coming back. Thank you!

We stayed 3 of us in the one-bedroom apartment with a double bed and a sofa in the kitchen. It has partial sea view from the balcony. The apartment is nice and clean - cleaned every 2nd day during our stay. Our host, Gianni was very kind and helpful. We appreciated the welcome drink and free drinks in the fridge. This apartment is rather comfortable for two, however the sofa bed in the kitchen is also comfortable. Unfortunately there was air conditioning only in the kitchen. The location is perfect, close to the center, restaurants and beach. Polignano a Mare is one of the most beautiful towns in this area.

After we were left without accommodation in the evening hours due to another unavailable and unprofessional service provider, Gianni, the host of Dimora Grottone, answered our call immediately, we met at the entrance of the accommodation in 10 minutes to see the remaining room. We were able to stay the first night to decide whether we would like to spend more days here. We finally chose this as our main base for the next 5 days. Perfect and fast communication, clean apartment, full equipment, quiet environment, close to the sea, close to the old town, yet a calm environment. But the most positive thing for us is the owner, who puts his heart and soul into his work and don't let travelers down. He answers quickly and willingly to all questions that arise. Kindness and trust are guaranteed with this choice of accomodation.

Sure, here's a refined review for Dimora Cavour: "Dimora Cavour is a true gem in the heart of the city! The space is exquisitely manicured, boasting beautiful stone interiors that complement a supremely comfortable bed. With modern air conditioning and a top-notch shower, every moment felt like a luxurious escape. What's more, its location is unbeatable—just mere steps from the enchanting old city. And Gianni? An unparalleled host. His warmth and helpfulness truly elevated our experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this haven to anyone seeking a memorable stay. Personally, I'm already looking forward to my return visit!"

Although, we had some problems with the toilet leaking and going up the 4 flights of stairs haha, everything else regarding our stay was a wonderful experience. The host really is what made this experience super enjoyable. I’m super pleased with his customer service as he was very kind and helpful with everything, especially since we were a big group. I could not have survived there without his assistance.

Fantastic stay! Very close to the historic center, the lungomare Domenico Modugno and its famous statue, wonderful sea view. Close to several restaurants and coffee shop for breakfast. I parked at the street at the low season in May, but there is a convenient paid parking around 200m from the place. Gianni – the owner – could not be a better host: reliable at checkin and checkout scheduled hours, helped with baggage, gave a lot of useful information and booked us a very nice boat tour. When we arrived there was a bottle of local wine, water and snacks. The apartment is nice, comfortable bed and pillows, nice TV. The living room and small kitchen are useful, with the minifridge and the nespresso machine, always full with capsules. It was impeccably clean, as they service it every other day and refresh the towels. A free washing machine at the building was also very useful. Bravo, Gianni, a stay to be proud of!
