Dimora Porto Contessa

nice stay nice breakfast

Staff was very courteous and attentive. Room was clean. Location is outstanding! Easy to get to and plenty of parking. We felt it would be a nice addition to include an electric kettle for making tea or coffee in the evening in our room. Also it would be helpful to include a couple of television channels in English.

Nice place but you have to have a car. Very welcoming staff, nice and different breakfast every day! Conveniently located to travel (with a car) in every direction! Would recommend!

Cute little off the beaten path place to lay your head for the night. Clean, friendly and accommodating staff!

Very nice place! Clean and cozy,! Close to beach

Nice central location for exploring the area, we wished we had made this our base for the days we were travelling. Very quiet location at the end of a small road, the accommodation was clean and comfortable. The highlight was breakfast. Order and time given the night before, breakfast was delivered to the our door patio and consisted of delicious home made local dishes, coffee and juice. We spent time chatting with the owners who shared information on food and places to visit. We felt very welcomed and wished had stayed longer. Make sure to visit Monopoli which is very close and felt a little less busy than other towns

For a fabulous experience. A wonderful stay in this beautiful spot. It is very quaint and unique. Mariella and her son Flavio were friendly, attentive, and took great care of us. Flavio speaks perfect English and it was very nice talking to him. The breakfast was served to us on the terrace. It was spectacular with all very fresh and local ingredients. Mariella made a special breakfast of all gluten-free items which was so appreciated. This one of a kind hotel is only a few minutes outside of the beautiful town of Polignano del Mare. The very large yard has plenty of parking. When we return to Puglia we will definitely stay here again Thank you for the delightful stay.

Mariella was a superb host that went above and beyond our expectations. She made amazing breakfasts and adapted skillfully for our dairy allergy so we didn’t even notice that a huge component of the normal breakfast menu was off limits. The breakfasts were a beautiful taste of the foods of the area and Puglia, and varied daily. She even had vegan croissants available for us every morning!! The food was so fresh, local, and tasty and lovingly prepared for us. It was actually some of the best food we had during our whole stay in Italy, and the fact it was included in our stay was an amazing value! The room and facilities were extremely clean and the bed comfortable. She gave recommendations on the best dining and destinations in the area. We HIGHLY recommend this property as long as you have a car, because it is outside town. It is a quick 5-10 minute drive to Polignano and within 30-60 minutes of numerous destinations, we couldn’t have picked a better base for exploring Puglia. It was nice that it’s outside the hustle and bustle of the town, it was quiet and peaceful, surrounded by countryside and ancient olive trees. We really can’t wait to go back to stay at the Casale Porta Contessa! It was one of the best experiences of our whole trip!
