Planning a trip to Polignano a Mare? Stop what you are doing right now and find a way to fit this winery into your itinerary! Just a Tuk-Tuk ride away from town is a hidden paradise that will leave you wanting more. My wife and I had a wonderful 2 hour private tour and while exploring the property, which is picturesque at every turn, we couldn't help but feel we were on a remote countryside. The tasting experience was 5 delicious wines paired with delectable local cheese, homemade foods, and "Mama's sun-dried tomatoes" which will change your life! On top of everything, our tour guide (co-owner) Giovanni was incredibly charismatic, knowledgeable and more importantly, an amazing person. We remain friends to this day! This is the perfect getaway experience for couples and just as enjoyable with a group of friends. Do yourself a favor and book a tour now! To review: Great people, great wine, great food, great views....what more could you ask for?

This is an amazing place, with the beach, the old town at the right, the cliff at the left, and the bridge behind. Of course there are lots of people in summer, so it is advised to arrive early. The sea is clean and crystal-like, ideal for snorkeling. There are lots of fishes and they are not afraid of snorkelers ! We were even lucky enough to catch a small octopus.

Beautiful and unique site - an interesting mix of water, rock, caves and man-made stuff. Visited in January when nobody was there but I understood it's very crowded in the summer.

Walk down past the entrance to the old town and suddenly you realise you're looking at the view you see on google maps. It's striking, and very different from any beach front in New Zealand. And it's free - if you can avoid the pushy street vendors.

Most pleasant early and late....gets very crowded with visitors. Mostly Italian but other nationalities of course. Although busy the immediate restaurants receive mixed reviews from their captive audience. We ALWAYS avoid and search out a gem further from the centre. As soon as you go over the bridge normal Puglia resumes, but you need to be subdued, able to blend into the background and not order cappuccinos after midday!!

Very quiet place where you can see the small marina with all the old boat and the fischermen work. Near there there is a good restaurant called "Giselda" whit sea view.

Keep walking past the main beach (which is packed) and walk 10 mins to this spot. Full of locals or visiting Italians. No need to worry about rocks. Pop ur towel and bag on the pathways around the cove (like everyone else) and you can jump in and splash around. THEN LUNCH straight from the sea, onto the grill and 6 euro for a whole octopus. Fresh delicious authentic. We've done it 2 days in a Row now. Plus you can get the paddle boats here for 12 euro an hour if you want!
