Covo dei Saraceni

Sheltered by the cliffs of Polignano a Mare, this 4-star hotel perches above the Adriatic, steps from Lama Monachile Beach and the old town. You’re minutes from the Statue of Domenico Modugno and within easy driving distance of Bari, Brindisi and Lecce—an ideal family-friendly, sea-view base for exploring Puglia.

A refined, neutral-toned property with 50 air-conditioned rooms that feel calm and modern. Rooms include minibars, flat-screen TVs, private baths with bidets and complimentary toiletries, safes, turndown service and daily housekeeping; the décor echoes the coast and the rooftop terrace frames ocean views.

Pamper yourself at the on-site spa with massages, body treatments and facials, or unwind in the sauna, steam bath and hot tub. Sip cocktails on the rooftop terrace or grab a snack at the café—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and stay connected with complimentary Wi‑Fi; the hotel also offers concierge and tour-desk services, 24-hour front desk, parking options and elevator access.

Built for work and events: a business center plus three meeting rooms suitable for board meetings or interviews, wedding services, and transfer options including limo/town-car and airport/train pick-up; complimentary wireless internet keeps things running.

Enjoy ocean-view dining at Il Bastione when open and taste local Apulian flavors and seafood. Note: Il Bastione will be closed from November 1, 2024 through Spring 2025, during which the hotel operates on bed & breakfast only. There’s also a bar/lounge, a café, buffet breakfasts available daily (may carry a fee) and limited-hours room service.
