01 · In a sentence

Casale Contessa Porto in Polignano a Mare.

Casale Contessa Porto stands out in Polignano a Mare by offering direct beachfront access combined with a functioning agriturismo—guests enjoy both coastal luxury and authentic Pugliese hospitality under one roof.

This hotel venue sits on 10 hectares of private grounds overlooking the Adriatic, providing exclusive use of both manicured gardens and natural limestone cliffs.

Unlike typical resort venues in the region, the property maintains its working farm operations, allowing couples to incorporate local produce into their menus and offer guests a genuine connection to the territory.

Beautiful rooms in a great, convenient location. Marinella and her stuff do a wonderful job attending to the guests’ needs and, my oh my, the breakfast!! Every morning a different combination of delicious savory and sweet food delivered to your patio to start your day off.
