The location is perfect for a visit to Polignano a Mare. The rooftop breakfast terrace was fabulous and the hotel team was very welcoming. I recommend a sea view room with balcony and the tiramisu for breakfast. Paid parking is nearby.

Amazing B&B
We really enjoyed our stay at Malu! The staffs were friendly and accommodating. In addition to the perfect view from our room, the room and amenities were just like a high end hotel ! We were especially exhausted after the red eye flight, and Malu was the best place for us to rejuvenate and get well rested for the rest of our trip! The breakfast in the terrace is amazing!

Family run and so friendly and helpful! Lovely rooms. We stayed in both a balcony room
And non balcony. Both were lovely. Non balcony was bigger, but the view from the balcony was worth the smaller room!

Absolutely perfect
From start to finish this place is perfect.
Pictures don’t do it justice, it’s immaculate both in decoration and cleanliness.
The owner is passionate and so helpful! He held our bags, gave us a tour and explained all the key areas on the map. Don’t stay anywhere else!

Has potential for improvement
Location was absolutely perfect, being walking distance from the old town. Alessio was very friendly and helpful at the front desk as well. HOWEVER, the walls in the room are paper thin and you will hear everything (from the hallway to your neighbours). The rooms are not actually thoroughly cleaned, rather your bed is made and towels are folded…that’s it! Lastly, at breakfast today the boiled eggs that were served were completely rotten (foul smelling and oddly colored). You cannot oder eggs od any other kind. Parking is not on premises. I was expecting a bit more :(

If you can book this hotel, do so. Family owned and so friendly with home made wonderful breakfast served overlooking gorgeous ocean and cove. We stayed facing the street not ocean view, but location and great room so happy regardless. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Alessio, Paulo and the whole family. This is an amazingly loved and run by Family Boutique B&B Hotel which is placed in the perfect spot. They have an elevator, the rooms are spacious and you cannot beat the view from the top terrace. You are walking distance to Old Town which has multiple restaurants and amazing little shops. If you want to go explore in Ostuni, Alberobello or Matera just ask at the desk and they are happy to help get you there, as there are buses, trains and possibly private tours available. I have stayed there twice now and recommend it to anyone going to this area of Italy

Great location on the edge of the old town with a fantastic view of the bay and sea. Everything within walking distance, and plenty to see. The room was spacious, well appointed and very clean. Alessio, Paulo and the whole family team at Malu were really friendly and helpful (and coped wonderfully with our limited spoken Italian). The breakfast on the balcony was a great start to the day. They recommended (and booked) some fantastic restaurants that we wouldn't have managed to find ourselves. It is worth noting that the car parking was a little distance away, but you could drive to the door to drop and collect luggage. We would thoroughly recommend Malu and hope to be back some time before too long.
