The place is so beautiful really nice amazingly wonderful site. You need a good fitting shoes something really comfortable coz the walk is challenging and the stones could get slippery at times. Not much crowded. The place reminds me of Spain.  But this is different.  This is something you should try to visit when ur in Italy.

There are beach chairs for hire €60 for 2 (closes at 5pm and reopens at 6pm)
Beach is a little difficult to navigate with a pram (obviously), and definitely a tough swim on a windy day. But worth a visit! Picturesque and a real vibe amongst other tourists.

This is definitely one of my favorite places in Italy and Europe. 45 min away from Bari taking the train and you get here. I traveled in April and the weather conditions were perfect. The best part was the touristy part: not crowded, a few people here and there, and the clear landscapes.

Enjoy the pics below.

Stylish location, elegant staff and a fine atmosphere. The food was delicious however the lobster was just not worth it.
Pleasant experience anyway.

The view is absolutely stunning! The service impeccable,
The chef provides a “Michelin-starred like” cuisine with an incredible variety of dishes, specialities and desserts.
I would just recommend to make sure the music is a bit louder in the garden so the atmosphere would be more joyful and chic.

Located a bit away from the old town, very quiet with nice terrace and large (cold atmosphere) inside dinner room. The service is quick and efficient. Many traditional dishes and tasty. Do not hesitate to book your table ... on the terrace.

Cena di pesce in terrazza 

Nice small town on the shore. There is a big parking place next to the sea for free ( now in November ). Nice walk along the shore with many views to the caves, then go to the old town centre. We really recommend this small town.

Scoprire il lungomare di Polignano a Mare

Consiglio l'aperitivo, per poter godere di questo ambiente suggestivo senza dover spendere una fortuna.

The view is absolutely amazing.  However they claim to offer vegan options.  They really don't, they have vegetarian options and they will attempt to modify things for you, but it seems to be an afterthought.  Not to mention the place is rather expensive, as in a minimum of 175.00 per person.

If you're vegan I wouldn't consider it even though  the view is spectacular, there are better options will good views.

This place is in such a unique location it’s a must do if in the area. A cavern on the side of a cliff stages as a restaurant. Very well appointed as a high end restaurant but food is reviewed as average. The location is the draw and it has an attached hotel. The hotel rooms are beautiful directly over the sea. The rooms are very small but in the location they are you should Ted expect more. I give the restaurant only 4 stars as I believe it is very nice but the food is way overpriced for what you get. When walking down the street there is new construction and what appears to be massive hotel expansion. If so maybe they are trying to host the very high end guest and hopefully the food will soon match the high end price.

This review is for the restaurant. Not the Hotel.
Food 4/5: All good except the monkish that was over cooked and became hard.
Ambiance 5/5: stunning place in a real cave. The place is mind blowing. A lot of wind down there so a minimal effort on hair style is perfectly fine :).
Service: 4/5. The place was busy which would explain why the service was slow. We stayed about 3h for 3 courses each.
Price : difficult to judge without all the data points. You pay 195 euros for a 3 course menu (65 per dish). I didn’t think this was reflected on the experience. However, I assume it must cost a fortune to run a restaurant in a cave, in this exclusive location, and, the restaurant is in a 5 stars hotel.
