This was a very memorable experience. The hotel's restaurant is located, during the summer months, in a gigantic sea cave, with decking across the cave entrance and view down to the sea on both sides. The setting is unique and very special. The atmosphere was enhanced by some lovely playing by a lone saxophonist. Meals are VERY expensive, though and... More

Wish we had consulted trip advisor before booking. Instead we rushed ahead after being seduced by the hotels website. At 150 Euro per night for their cheapest room, the facilities and rooms are terrible. Do not stay here. There are so many great bed and breakfasts around that friends we were with stayed in (wedding party) at less than half... More

The most amazing setting i have ever seen for a restaurant but let down by the food and service. The food was mainly raw (some of which im sure you cant eat) flavourless and smoothered in oil. Lobster was either frozen or overcooked, the menu even though available in English doesnt represent what you actually get given. No mention that... More

We were doing a road trip travelling around Italy for our silver wedding staying at various B&B (see Trivago & Tripadvisor) and this was supposed to be the highlight of the trip. What a terrible hotel (B&B with maybe 2 stars just because of the location). The first room was small and the rooms Facilities were about 20 years out... More

We booked this hotel for a 3-night stay thinking that we found out the perfect romantic escape location but what a deception when we arrived! Actually, the location is perfect and the restaurant is simply somptuous and amazing but the guests rooms...don't offer the same level of confort and luxury. The rooms we got was small, with no view and... More

This restaurent is in a spetacular setting, the food is excellant, but they desparatly need to reduce their prices, its just too expensive .Polignano is beautifull , the best restaurent in town is the Antiche Mura which looks nothing from the outside but inside is wonderfull with superb food & excellent service at a sensible price.

The setting of this hotel is stunning, however, from the moment we arrived we were treated with complete indifference. We ate in the "cave" that night - wonderful setting but, in all our years of eating in top restaurants we have never been so appalled. Food was cold and 3 of us served starters at least 10 minutes before the... More

The review of the traveller who ate at this restaurant on 21 May just shows how opinions can vary. We visited the restaurant of Grotta Palazzese on 22 May for a special birthday dinner and were not disappointed! True, there were not many other diners at the restaurant, but that was due to the weather that week - it had... More

with only 20% occupied tables the restaurant obviously suffered from low season.. so did the chef as the food didn't even see a sprinkle of salt or any taste.. but prices whoooohooo.. no service that made you feel welcome.. we couldn't believe it but they don't have a wine-menu.. just a waiter comin round to offer wine from a bottle...
