great hotel located in centro storico, easy to walk to many locations including Lama Monachile. Great central spot to stay but would just mention that if you drive the parking is an easy 9-10 minute walk with a mix of flat and cobble stone type sidewalks and with only a small up hill. The parking is super easy and costs 25 Euro daily (so just fyi). The hotel rooms themselves are like small apartment units , they are very spacious and have everything you need. The main reception is located in one area while the rooms are spread out across the old town, which is pretty cool but again does require being a bit mobile with your bags so just pack light so you’re not lugging a giant suitcase around. AC works great for these hot summer months. The Restaurant associated with the hotel is soo good so def recommend giving it a try and do the tasting menu!

This place is an apartment - we has 4 adults 2 children we stayed for 3 nights . They did not provide enough towels or toilet paper .
One side of the apartment is ground floor with a little kitchenette somewhat helpful if you need to boil some hot water for coffee. Another side of the apartment is in second floor and 3rd floor with a lot of stairs. If you are not strong enough you can’t carry your luggage up there .
We left all our stuff in the first floor and divided its in multiple plastic bags to carry its up .
No coffee , no breakfast, no cleaning,no guidance how to get to town or where to eat , you get zero help from staff .
The worst issue is no WiFi connection inside the apartment. Imagine this is your first time and you can’t use your phone to get directions? Everytime I need to Google where to go I have to walk around the neighborhood to get signal. Also the cellular doesn’t work well here .
Did Bring the issue to the staff but the situation didn’t improve , they sent someone and the wifi worked for about 4 hours -after that it’s dead and we not even bothered to ask anymore.
To be fair the location is very convenient it’s walkable to the center Lama Monachile about 7 min walk.
My family and I travel to Italy every summer and we stayed 3,4 weeks each time . My recommendation is stay at the hotel it’s come with 24 hours front desk .They will help you with luggage ,concierge for a fees but I rather do that than feel stranded in a town I never been before .

Beautiful location — genuinely postcard-level gorgeous. Dei Serafini was one of the highlights of our trip. The rooms were stunning, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with every amenity we could need. The location is perfect: steps from both the old town and the beach, making everything feel effortless.

What truly made our stay special, though, was the staff. Some of the kindest women I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. They helped us with dinner reservations, taxis, and anything else we needed with so much warmth and care. Tonya especially felt like a long-lost family member by the end of our stay.

We honestly only wish we could have stayed longer.

Stayed in the “Romantic” room. Clean room but no TV. Not an issue but noting for others who might prioritize a TV. Bar that operates late into night is directly below room but noise was minimized by door/windows. Can easily hear staff talking loudly in the office below the room in the morning, which was a little disruptive.

No hotel, neither B&B.

It is a very small room, without curtains to close or black out. No TV in the room, it's not a Hotel, it's just a room in an old house. Mini bathroom, no closets, just a stick with hooks in sight to hang clothes. Very good location. I don't recommend it.

Unique property ... not for everyone

My wife and I really enjoyed our time in Polignano a Mare!! And the Dei Serafini was definitely a part of that. Wonderfully located in the middle of the village. The property was very clean and the staff very friendly and helpful. The property was definitely unique which was part of the charm and part of the problem. Parking was a nightmare... I probably wasted an hour just trying to find the lot. The only bathroom is on the main level while the bedroom is up a flight of very slick, potentially dangerous steps. Wonderful character ... but not for everyone.

The room itself(compact suiterrquested 2 beds) was up a very steep set of stairs narrow treads and almost vertical The second “bed” was a piece of flimsy foam on top of a small base. I kept falling out of the bed. Definitely not safe. Not only did the wifi not work but there was limited internet if ever we had it. When I asked for a different room I was shown a room that was very similar. I asked again and was told there were no rooms in the same price range I paid. I required reliable internet for work and all the indoors it was sketchy. We ended up cutting our stay short (even though prepaid) and leaving. Too bad. The location was perfect but the service non existent. Stay somewhere else where they actually value your business

This B&B was quite misleading and its picture. We had to park our car in a somewhat pasture and was charged $20 Euros. The parking place was NOT walkable with luggage to the hotel. It wax probably a half mile walk, done uphill to the hotel They sent a golf cart and a girl to come and pick us up and then they charge a €16 each way to take us to the hotel, take our luggage in. This was never disclosed beforehand. We had to pay 16 euros again to be taken back to our car which was never disclosed plus you had to pay them cash

This place is in a convenient location, but you have to be in excellent physical shape to climb the stairs to your room. And good luck getting your luggage up the spiral staircase. Not having great knees, I could not do it.

We could NOT see the ocean from either of our rooms which one was on the second floor and one was on the third floor. The picture used by Expedia makes you think that you’re right there on the ocean, which is not true. We felt very misled 😔

Personally, I don’t think I can recommend staying here.

The staff is fantastic. The place is great. The apartment has everything. Close to everything.

If you are driving, renting the parking space is a must. They will use a golf cart to take you and your luggage from the parking area to the hotel. It is in a Piazza. Great ambiance, two blocks from piazza Vittorio Emanuele.

Grazie mille.

Wonderful place to stay in the historical center of Polignano a Mare! Stayed in Honey, a beautiful sea-blue themed room. Stairs to the room were narrow and steep. They have an off-site, private parking area about an 8 minute walk from the reception. Reception was friendly, helpful, and flexible with our check-in & check-out times.

Beautiful apartment in the heart of old town.

Beautiful little apartment in Polignano a mare in amongst the charming old town. The famous beach and gorgeous restaurants, bars and artisanal shops are mere steps away. The apartment itself is beautifully presented and the hot tub and balcony are a great place to relax and cool off after a hot afternoon traipsing around town prior to heading out to spend the evening. It is literally one block from grotta palazzeze. Every detail is thought of and the styling is very elegant. Greeted with a lovely bottle of wine on arrival, there is a little kitchenette if you wanted to prepare your own food.

The staff and place was wonderful. So clean and beautifully decorated . Very helpful and answered any concerns we had right away . The only negative experience we had in the property was that at 7 am every morning the recycle and trash truck parked right in front of property and made so much noise collecting all glass bottles from all the restaurants in the square. The property is located in the center of the main square so it is very noisy. That is the only negative but everything else was wonderful . They have other properties that are not in the main square but unfortunately they were booked . Will love to come back and try those .

Excellent location. Centre of everything and close to all the areas highlights. Loved that we could potter around and have the option to escape the heat and return to the property and enjoy a rest and air con.
The terrace was a lovely sun trap to enjoy a cold drink and people watch across the main square.

The location is a blessing and a curse. For those that want a quiet spot this is not it. As it is amongst the bustle of the town it is very noisy at all times. The night time you will here music, chatter from the restaurants and bars and early morning wake up call from the delivery drivers, rubbish collection and the church bells in the main square.

The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. We stayed in the apartment named Carla, which was very well decorated and very comfy. No expense was spared with little details, such as a basket full of bathroom essentials (should you forget anything), and the cleaner checked in with us every day to see if we needed the apartment to be cleaned. I would highly recommend Dei Serafini and their properties to anyone wishing to stay in the centre of the old part of Polignano a Maré.

Great location. Be prepared for noise.

Our room was nice. Great view of the piazza but it was super noisy at night. The hot water did not work and it was difficult to track the staff down in order to have it repaired. It took a day and a half to have it fixed. They changed the lock on our door and did not tell us. We were left scrambling to find out why our key no longer worked. The terrace which was advertised was not really usable as it was under repair and there was no seating on it. The included breakfast at the cafe across the piazza was lovely.

Beautiful room and charming town!

Our room was amazing! Three levels and three bathrooms! All of the furnishings looked new and it appeared to have been newly renovated. There was also a washer in the kitchen - very nice and not expected! Tonia and her husband were very helpful and took great care of us. They had us take a boat tour with Blue Moon and Davide (the guide) was very friendly. The boat captain, Guiseppe, was incredibly adept at maneuvering the boat in/out of the caves. I highly recommend taking their tour! The little town was quite charming and the food was incredible! My only regret is that we didn't stay longer. We will definitely return and stay with Dei Serafini again and for a longer period of time. We had a wonderful time in this little gem!

Great couples weekend

We stayed at the B&B Dei Serafini for a quick weekend away. The owner arranged for us to park in their reserved parking off-site and had a driver pick us up. She met us with an umbrella in hand to protect us from the rain and made sure we knew about the free breakfast in the cafe next door. We had a fabulous stay.

Residenza curata nel centro storico

Appartamento nel centro storico molto ben tenuto e pulito. Posizione ottima, silenzioso di notte. Arredato con gusto e con oggetti del passato. Lettone di altri tempi, comunque molto comodo. Un poco angusto l'ingresso e le scale di accesso. Colazione non inclusa, meglio verificare all'atto della prenotazione.
