In the heart of Polignano a Mare’s historic center, among its whitewashed alleys and breathtaking sea views, stands A Casa di Elena 12, an ancient home that once belonged to Tonino, a local fisherman. Growing up in these streets, I remember his reassuring presence as we children played on the stone stairways. Today, this house still holds its authentic charm, carefully restored to welcome travelers seeking a true Polignano experience.

Spread over three levels, A Casa di Elena 12 strikes the perfect balance between modern comfort and historic charm.

🔹 On the first floor, beneath a traditional tuff stone arch, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchenette with two induction burners, cookware, and everything you need to prepare your meals. Next to it, a cozy living area with a TV, a small dining table, and a French balcony overlooking the sea and the cliffs that make Polignano so special.

🔹 On the second floor, a staircase without a railing leads to the sleeping area, featuring a French bed (140x190 cm), a desk, and a window with sea glimpses. Adjacent to the bedroom is a private bathroom with a bidet, decorated with blue cement tiles that reflect the colors of the Adriatic.

🔹 On the third floor, the true highlight: access to the large shared panoramic terrace, a slice of paradise suspended between sky and sea. Here, the deep blue of the Adriatic blends with the white of the historic town, creating a stunning backdrop to relax, read a book among the fragrance of Mediterranean plants, or enjoy a glass of wine at sunset. The terrace is shared with the other guests of the guesthouse, offering a lively yet relaxing atmosphere, where travelers exchange smiles and tips, just as the fishermen of the past once did.

📍 The house is located in Vico La Pergola, a prime location for exploring the historic center on foot. In just a few minutes, you can reach Lama Monachile beach, Polignano’s most iconic terraces, and the best restaurants in town. However, staying in the heart of the center also means embracing its authentic sounds—the chatter of the alleys, the cathedral bells, and the melodies of street performers.

Note: The house is spread over multiple levels and is accessible only via stairs, making it unsuitable for guests with mobility issues or large luggage.
