Carolla and Frederick were both amazingly helpful, great with communications, very responsive with all our needs. Location was superb, our room was clean, not noisy despite it being in a central area. Totally recommend this place.
This was one of the best hotels I have stayed at in Italy (we've been to Rome, Venice, Sicily, etc.). Staff made it even better being truly so helpful and making our stay even more comfortable. The rooms was extremely well maintained, clean and aethestically pleasing. We booked a King room + sofa bed and the room was large, esp by Italian standards!
Breakfast was FANTASTIC. such a wonderful spread!
Grazie mille!
Amazing location in the center of the historic district. Easily walkable to everything in Puglia al Mare. The room was clean and great, but very small. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great. Be aware that this is center city in a noisy pedestrian only street so it can be loud at night. The windows were insulated and air conditioning was great.
This was an amazing gem…everything from the hosts/staff, the perfect location, the amazing breakfast spread, the comfortable rooms with charming details, the rooftop…all of it was exceptional and well done. The host was incredible with communication, recommendations for dinner, airport transfers…they even helped us find a great place to watch the World Cup. They were absolutely lovely. It made our trip there so much more special. We will definitely return. ♥️
This place was amazing. Frederico and Corola were gracious managers and the staff were amazing. I cannot say enough about the woman who makes everything homemade for breakfast just wow and delicious. Our room was beautiful. Our terrorist was beautiful. And the rooftop was stunning.
The Hotel was lovely and the owner Carola and her family could not have been more attentive and helpful.
The breakfast was fabulous
Thank you for a wonderful stay
Grazie Mille
This property was very comfortable, clean and in a perfect location. The owners were very gracious and hospitable and hand made the morning breakfast that offered an amazing variety of delicious items. Best breakfast I have had in a boutique hotel. We definitely recommend this property.
As others have mentioned, the breakfasts were amazing. We were there for four days and each day the items available were different, all home made and delicious. One of our party is Celiac and something gluten free was made just for her each day. The roof top area was nice for relaxing, complete with a hot tub and bathroom.
The rooms were spacious and modern and in a great location.
The staff were amazing and looked after us as if we were family. They provided homemade breakfast each morning which were nothing short of sensational.
If we ever come back to Pogliano A Mare, we will definitely stay here and not bother looking elsewhere.
We had an amazing stay! The location is absolutely fantastic; right in the heart of everything, with bars, restaurants, and main attractions all within walking distance.
The staff were incredible, especially Carola. She went above and beyond for us: welcoming, kind, and so helpful. She even came all the way to the main gate to meet us, which made us feel instantly at home.
The boutique hotel itself is beautiful. The rooftop area is stunning, breakfast was delicious with plenty of variety, and everything about our stay exceeded expectations. Highly recommend!
The owner of the property is excellent- she made dinner reservations for us each night and gave great recommendations- the breakfast was unreal and the best meal we had because of the quality and assortment. Special treat was having Nunzio walk us through each dish and teach us where it came from locally! Absolutely delicious!
Fabulous stay from start to finish. Carola's so helpful with everything from car parking (despite very late arrival after flight delay) to recommendations. Situated down alley in old town, but transfer from car park kindly arranged. Breakfast is amazing, an array daily of delicious home made fare. Rooftop terrace wonderful & we were lucky to have to ourselves most days. Definitely recommend.
A wonderful small boutique hotel right in the middle of the old town. The transfer from our car with parking organised by the hotel was seamless and efficient. The breakfast is absolutely amazing with food freshly baked by Maria. Each day had different food. A definite highlight of our stay. Beautiful views from the roof top terrace.
This is a small family run hotel. Only five rooms. Our room was tiny but had a great balcony. We also had the use of a roof terrace. It’s right in the middle of the old town.
Staff were great and the breakfast changed daily. Would highly recommend.
Great place to stay, The Staff is fully committed to making you have the best possible time during your stay. Breakfast options are delicious and vary almost every day. It's in the middle of everything yet very quiet inside since the rooms don´t face the main street. Rooms amenities and decorations are all you need for a perfect stay. You can park close by for 20 euros a night which we recommend, also they help you transfer with luggage when you arrive and leave.
Thanks for everything our stay was Fantastic !
This property is something special. You can tell that it is family run and a labour of love. They are so helpful and the breakfasts are truly insane. A huge spread of homemade sweet and savoury food.
We had the room with the hot tub, which was lovely.
I strongly recommend going to the rooftop terrace for sunset!
We will be back
This was a magical stay, far exceeded our expectations.
Family run boutique hotel, with Carola on reception and the owner Nunzio at breakfast each day. Incredibly accommodating: breakfast was never the same 2 days in a row, so many cakes, pastries, fruit, yoghurt, cured meats and cheeses, and you can request eggs, plus fresh coffees made to order. You can see the love and thought poured into making this such a comfortable stay. Also right in the heart of old town, everywhere is a 1-8 minute walk in town.
Would come back again, we miss Nunzio already!! Thank you for such a lovely stay
This is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at and we have travelled a lot! It is a small hotel and with that you get fantastic service. The breakfast was the most amazing hotel breakfast we’ve ever had- everything was fresh, local and homemade. It was so delicious I can’t put it into words. The roof terrace was beautiful and had views over the sea. The rooms was lovely too. Also, the service is impeccable due to it being family run and the staff were always on hand for recommendations. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay in Polignano.
What a fantastic experience staying at Quinessenza. Carole and Nunzio were the perfect hosts, ably supported by Maria in the kitchen. each morning at breakfast was wonderful experience of beautiful Italian cuisine which you were taken through by the enthusiastic Nunzio. every request for assistance from Carole was met with a smile and only added to the overall experience. The hotel was centrally located to the old town and the carjacking arrangements were seamless in its execution
Absolutely recommend Quintessenza Domus for your next stay! Everything exceeded our expectations. This family owned place went above and beyond for my pregnant wife and I. We couldn’t be more grateful to of found such an accommodating place to stay. Carola helped with recommendations, transfers, beach umbrella/towels. Breakfast spread every morning was different and so delicious. This place is in the middle of everything so everything was perfect walking distance. Overall it was a beautiful experience for our 6 day stay
My stay at this hotel was absolutely incredible from beginning to end. What truly made the experience unforgettable was the exceptional hospitality of Carola and Federico. From the moment I arrived, they welcomed me with genuine warmth, kindness, and professionalism that immediately made me feel at home.
Carola was always attentive, caring, and happy to help with anything I needed, whether it was recommendations for local restaurants, places to visit, or simply making sure everything was perfect during my stay. Federico was equally amazing — friendly, professional, and always available with a smile and positive energy. Together, they create an atmosphere that is both relaxing and welcoming, something that is very rare to find.
The hotel itself is beautiful, spotless, comfortable, and clearly managed with passion and attention to detail. Every aspect of the stay exceeded my expectations, and it is obvious that Carola and Federico truly care about their guests and want everyone to have the best possible experience.
I recommend this hotel 1000% without any hesitation. If you are looking for a place where you will feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of, this is the perfect choice. Thank you again, Carola and Federico, for making my stay so memorable — I will definitely come back!
