Spiaggia di San Gregorio Tours

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.

The staff was so attentive to our every question and need and were so pleasant every step of the way. From the front desk to the driver and everyone during our stay. The hotel was first class, clean, great views, food and easy access. We even had help with our Italian language tips along the way! Can't say enough good things about the people and the property.

Wow!! Is all I can say!! This place is absolutely fantastic!! It’s a beautiful property in the countryside. Beautiful entrance, foyer, incredibly huge pool, stellar breakfasts and dinners. Our room was huge but still comfortable to sit in and have a glass of wine. David, Nathalie and Alessandro went out of their way to make us feel welcome , and were only too happy to answer any questions. Nathalie made the check in and check out easy and smooth. David was the perfect host at dinner and breakfast. And he makes a mean cappuccino! From the farm dog Gina to Rocco the cat , our stay of 3 nights here was memorable. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
