Steps in our room were unsafe. Lots of stairs up to room but that made it quaint and special too. Wifi not great in room and noisy next to air conditioner.

Breakfast, check in by Louisa was excel=ptional

The only ‘better if’ would be the use of sheet-duvet-sheet style of bedding which I always find uncomfortable compared to a duvet in a duvet cover. Notes for others considering this place - the entrance is up a few steep steps, and if you are in one of the upper rooms there are then another couple of flights of steep narrow steps. For the able bodied it was no problem and added to the character of the place, but beware if that’s not you.

Nice place to stay in the old town. Comfortable and spacious room. Nice breakfast room on the roof overlooking the sea. Decent buffet breakfast. Good comms for checking in late.

Great location, adorable place in the heart of the village but just far enough away to avoid the noise and buzz all-around

If you have reduced mobility or not good on your feet this is not the place to stay . There are many steps within the property ranging from stone to wood , the latter not being full treads , very difficult to navigate. This should be highlighted on the property page .

The room was lovely and very clean. The breakfast was very nice and the views from the breakfast room and terrace were excellent over the bay .

Very small bathroom, we only just managed but understandable as this was a renovated historical property. Not for anyone unable to use steep stairs

The best location, especially the breakfast view. Room was well equipped with tea/coffee facilities, fridge and large bed which was very comfortable and patio to chill and watch the sunset

The mattress was curved and made us slip towards the middle of the bed. There is a constant night light in the backyard which can be bothersome to some. Bathroom was very small and light not suit all guests. There are many steep stairs which was not an issue for us but again might not suit all guests.

Property is in the heart of old town, short walking distance away from the train station and 5 minutes away from the beach. Helpful and communicative staff, that allowed us early check in, which was much appreciated. While our room was small, it was modern and thoughtfully designed. In addition, it included private terrace with lounge chairs and even a drying rack. On the top floor there is a beautiful common terrace for all guests to enjoy. Breakfast was tasty and included various items.

The location was perfect. The breakfast was on their sunroof with views of the water and lovely food and coffee made to order! The room was huge and extremely clean. Overall would recommend to anyone that wants to be by the main square. It was very quiet. People walking by even kept taking pictures of the entrance to the Hotel as they walked by. Truly a magical space.

Few small improvements would be nice. Fridge is very small and fully stocked as it’s used as a bar. No place to put your own stuff, even a bottle of water or wine. Umbrella or owning on a rooftop would be great , it’s too hot to enjoy it during the day

The location is excellent, few minutes to the famous views and few minutes to the beach. Nice rooftop with gorgeous view. Very good breakfast with best croissants we had in Puglia.

It was lovely, especially Monica with all her help to our group of 6. We did notice that at times there was a smell of septic in our room. Once we opened the balcony door, it was fine.

Such a sweet spot. Nice breakfast and authentic old style bed and breakfast

It was overall excellent! Some suggestions Rooms - no room safe. Some rooms did not have drawers or closets to unpack for our longer stay. Also key access versus key pad access made for interesting predicament when friends locked themselves out 2xs in one day. Do expect crowds to form for Instagram photo ops throughout the day and night.

Lovely spot! Very authentic to stay in the old city. Lively area which is very welcome to see so many happy people. Monica assisted with many things for us - too many to count! We had Pasquale for our car park attendant and he was always prompt and friendly. Laundry service was a dream - so worth it since we stayed 7 pnights.

Wasn't prepared for the stairs. Narrow, steep and lots of them. Our rooms were located on the first landing and at the top of the establishment. Could also hear the chairs from the breakfast room scraping on the ground each time someone sat down/got up. This noise woke us up 2 mornings. On the second night, we had no hot water in the shower.

Excellent communication leading up to our check-in, charming little apartment situated in the historic centre which is so picturesque. Clean, comfortable and spacious rooms (we had 2) which were beautifully decorated. The terrace upstairs was amazing with brilliant views of the ocean and surrounds. Breakfast was excellent too with a good variety of foods offered.

Location was amazing, staff super helpful. The stairs were a freak out to start with but very much part of the experience and we loved the stay

The stairs but it was worth the climb for the beautiful views!!

Very clean and comfortable, perfect location and very aesthetically pleasing!!! Our host, Monica was a beautiful person who was attentive and professional with everything we needed. Breakfast was hosted by Maria and Gracie! Both equally as beautiful and attentive. We loved our stay at santo stefano!!

This is the perfect place to stay in Puglia. Wonderful, helpful staff and the location is great - on the doorstep of all the restaurants and everything to see and do in Puglia. We loved our stay here!

The room we were in, the access spiral stairwell was very narrow and hard to navigate. Don’t bring big suitcases. Lots of steps to get to breakfast.

The location couldn’t be better, right in the heart of Polignano. Beautiful little court yard on arrival. The breakfast was in a primo spot on the roof with a great view. Staff was wonderful. The room was cosy, small bathroom, good aircon.
