Craco Vacations from $821

This was a beautiful property in a lovely setting. The only thing I missed was no tea/coffee making facilities in the room.

We stayed at Cala Ponte Hotel, Marriott Bonvoy Collection in Polignano a Mare. The property is beautiful, with a great pool and nice breakfast if you include it, but overall it felt expensive for what it was. Check-in was fine in the end, though at first they couldn’t locate our reservation which was stressful. One night we were kept up until 3 a.m. by a red light in our room (part of the fire alarm), which I reported the next day. The hotel itself feels more like a solid four-star rather than a five-star luxury property. It’s missing the resort-like touches you’d expect at this level: more restaurant options, entertainment, transportation to and from town, and even a small convenience shop with essentials like sunscreen, snacks, or first-aid items. Transportation in particular would be a huge benefit, since parking in Polignano is a nightmare. Overall, Cala Ponte is a beautiful spot with potential, but it needs more services and amenities to justify the price point.

everything was great

The hotel is very convenient, close to everything in the old town; it is very clean and the breakfast is superb. Thank you

Although we spent little time in the hotel it was well maintained and staff was good. Had minor issues in the room, tables were not stable but they fixed them , the soap in the shower was empty but other than that the ac worked , the room was clean all good. It’s a bit away from the sea side so keep that in mind it is in a more business area
