Budget Guesthouses and B&Bs in Polignano a Mare

Polignano is a small town and while there is a decent amount of accommodation throughout the city, prices tend to be relatively high as pretty much all hotels in Polignano a Mare are centrally located.

However, I have managed to find a couple of places that are in a lower price bracket. 

ZI’ MARI’ – Via Roma

In the center of the old town, you will find the lovely little guesthouse Zi’ Mari’.

The guesthouse is pretty simple and basic- you will get a room with the essentials and a nice bathroom with free toiletries to use.

It is important to note that the room is pretty small and cozy, but perfect for a few night’s stay. 

In the rate of the room, you will receive vouchers for a nearby coffee bar where you can get a light breakfast.

Otherwise, the central location of the room is perfect for exploring Polignano a Mare with all the main sights close by. The owners of the guesthouse are very friendly and attentive.

Breakfast at a local cafe is included in the price of the room at Casa della Nonna, although, as a warning, this is a pretty simple breakfast of a hot drink and pastry so don’t expect something huge.

In the Polignano a Mare accommodation is a shared kitchen where you can cook up a little storm with some local produce.

Outside, there is a shared garden area with a BBQ- a perfect place to chill out in the evenings after a long day of exploration.
