Description

I have always imagined and desired my B&B to be just like it was born in Northern Europe. Guest in a family for overnight stay and breakfast at a great price. Today, this dream has become a reality!
I will be delighted to welcome you to my B&B, guaranteeing you the utmost tranquility, color, comfort, and maximum cleanliness of the surroundings.

Furthermore, my husband Gianni and I will be at your disposal to provide you with all the necessary information and put you in touch with the partners affiliated with our establishment.

Our goal is to make you feel at home.

All that remains for me is to give you a WELCOME and wish you a pleasant stay.

The Bed & Breakfast Donatella is located in the center of Polignano a Mare, on the central Via Martiri di Dogali 73. Its location allows you to reach any place on foot.

Such as: the historic center of the city, the wonderful balconies overlooking the sea, the sea itself, the statue of Domenico Modugno, the contemporary art museum - Pino Pascali foundation, unique of its kind in Puglia, and many other beauties. Furthermore, the train station (FS) is only 5 minutes away from the establishment. The construction work on my house and therefore also on the structure was completed at the end of 2020.

My B&B has three rooms.

The Gianni room, furnished in a sober and elegant manner, offers accommodation for 1-2 people. Equipped with an autonomous Mitsubishi air conditioner, 32" LED TV, fridge with welcome drink, and free WiFi. High window and electrically operated portholes with blackout curtains.

The room is equipped with an autonomous Mitsubishi air conditioner, fridge with welcome drinks, 32" LED TV, a comfortable sofa that can easily be transformed into a double bed, and free WiFi.

The property is in a strategic location, out of the crowds but within a few minutes' walk you are in the center of Polignano and just as close to the train station. Very welcoming and, above all, clean. Breakfast, served in the room, is varied and plentiful. The owner, Donatella, makes you feel at home, always providing useful recommendations on restaurants, places and various activities which all lived up to expectations. Thanks to Donatella; we will definitely return, and to Polignano a Mare.

At Donatella Bed and Breakfast you feel at home. The property is spotlessly clean. The breakfast is very plentiful, both sweet and savory. The rooms are comfortable and cared for down to the smallest detail. Donatella,the owner of the property,is a big-hearted person,very helpful and affectionate.

Everything was perfect! We were welcomed by Donatella who explained everything to us to ensure an excellent stay. The small rented room has no window but this is not a problem because everything is designed to make you feel at home. It is extremely clean. The accommodation is ideally located in the town centre and we were able to park at the train station car park without problems (a 5-minute walk). The breakfast was delicious and prepared with great care by Donatella. Polignano is a beautiful small town. We loved our stay!

10 stars – we LOVED this place! From the moment we arrived at Donatella’s Bed and Breakfast, we were welcomed with such warmth and kindness. Donatella was incredibly helpful—always available for questions, local recommendations, and sharing her love of the area. Breakfast was absolutely perfect and made with so much care. I’m still dreaming about the warm croissants—with Nutella on the side! I don’t usually like croissants, but these totally won me over. And the fresh figs? Such a special and unique treat that made the morning feel extra magical. Parking felt a little challenging at first, but we found public parking nearby that worked great for the rest of our stay. The only small piece of feedback is the number of fragrance diffusers throughout the property. For someone sensitive to scents, it was a bit overwhelming. All in all, this was an unforgettable experience. We truly loved our stay and would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

Donatella's residence is very clean and located a 10-minute walk from the city center, so very close to the historic district and places of interest. The room was spacious, air-conditioned and well soundproofed, and the breakfast, served in the room, was sumptuous. We were able to park our car for free in the train station parking lot, a 5-minute walk away.

For the price, this bed & breakfast is the best in Polignano. The rooms are well decorated, quiet, have functioning air conditioning and recently renovated bathrooms.\n\nWhat really makes this place special is Donatella. I have never had anyone go as much out of their way for their guests as she did for us. She got in the car with us to direct us to the free parking lot (3 minutes walking), used the chair lift for our luggage so we didn't have to carry the luggage up the stairs, and she helped us find a dry cleaner that would return our clothes to us the next day. On top of that, she prepared a full spread breakfast including fresh croissants, fresh fruits, yogurt, granola, and coffee. If you are vegan like we are, Donatella prepared us a fully vegan breakfast which was very good!\n\nThe place is spotless and it's in such a great part of the beautiful city of Polignano Amare! There are other places to stay that may be closer to the water and offer nice views, but the price, location and service offered here are second to none.

Donatella was a wonderful host, and we very much enjoyed our 2 night stay at her B+B. Both the room and service were excellent and faultless. Location was superb, for easy access to the old town - also the train station and inter-city bus stop (at least Flixbus). Also, the sumptuous 'surprise' breakfast delivered on a trolley to the room. \nAbove all, the sheer warmth of Donatella made us feel not only very welcome on arrival - also felt like parting with family, when we left. \nWould highly recommend, especially for couples who value high quality and service standards.

I stayed at this establishment for only one night. I highly recommend it. The owner Donatella welcomed and assisted us in the best possible way, advising us on where to eat and how to reach the places we wanted to visit. The bed and breakfast is really pleasant to see, well-kept and comfortable. I, who am attentive to details, was truly satisfied. My sister and I felt like we were at home. Before leaving, we met her husband Gianni and her son Francesco. In short, a lovely family, with a passion for what they do. Thank you again to Donatella especially, a kind, outgoing and creative person.

My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights in September and absolutely loved it. We arrived earlier than check-in but were welcomed inside and made to feel at home while they helped us understand the area and plan some activities. Donatella and her husband are the kindest hosts I have ever met. They did everything they could to make our stay memorable and comfortable. The breakfast is amazing and is delivered to your door every morning exactly when you requested. Such delicious baked goods and fruits, plenty to get you through the day and even more to take with you for snacks on the beach, etc. I would love to stay here again.

We had an amazing stay and a big thank you to Donatella for her hospitality. The place is conveniently located from the beach and all other attractions. There are numerous bars and restaurants just a walk away. The place itself is fully equipped for a comfortable stay. Donatella and her husband were super nice. The goodies in the mini bar were a very kind gesture. Many reviews talk about the breakfast and we concur that the spread was as large as you would get in a 4 or 5 star hotel. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is traveling to Polignano a Mare.

Excellent in every way: kindness and friendliness of Donatella and Gianni, exceptional hosts, top cleanliness and hygiene, extreme convenience in the center of Polignano, unbeatable breakfast considering then all homemade products by Donatella. In short, we are often on the road on our wonderful Italy and experiences in bed and breakfast like Donatella's have happened very rarely. Highly recommended. Thank you Donatella and Gianni.

Thank you Donatella for the great stay! The room was perfect, spacious and clean, communication with the host very easy, she was most welcoming and very nice.

An amazing property just outside the crowded old town close to everything with an incredibly gracious hostess who makes you feel at home. The breakfast was beyond belief and even exceeded all of the superb reviews. Free parking nearby. This is the place you want and will not regret. I’ve stayed at a lot of B&Bs all over Italy and this one was special. Donatella is a gem who has created a heavenly oasis.

Intrigued by the superlative reviews, I quickly convinced myself to book our vacation. We stayed a week in Polignano a Mare at the B&B Donatella and we were extremely satisfied. We couldn't have made a better choice. The very kind Donatella showed herself to be an extremely competent and professional person from the first phone contact, managing her business with passion and love. She described in detail the services offered by her establishment and was always available to meet our personal needs. The B&B is an elegant, quiet and peaceful structure that offers a high level of comfort. Despite our very late arrival, we were exceptionally welcomed, with surprising generosity. In the fridge there were various drinks and delicious local pastries for a quick meal, as a welcome gift. The Francesco room was spacious and comfortable, with a large and comfortable bathroom. The cleanliness was impeccable. Breakfast, served in the room, was abundant and varied, with a wide selection of local products prepared by Donatella. Every day the breakfast was gradually c...

Donatella is the best host. She offered to pick us up from the train station. She explained to us in detail where and how to move around the city. She offered us an abundant breakfast to go. \nRegarding the property, she gave us the biggest room, the bathroom is new; the place is very clean; the AC is working well. The place is in the city center, very close to the train station. \nWe will definitely come back and highly recommend.

First impressions are everything and you really only get one chance at it. Donna Donatella knows how to make a lasting impression! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with kindness and friendliness. She seated us with a drink and a snack and explained the details of the stay, answering many of our questions. Her passion and attention to her house (and business) are highly commendable. During our 2-night stay, we felt free to message her at any time for anything. She provided us with fantastic recommendations for restaurants and activities. The homemade breakfast was plentiful (great for teenage boys) and exceeded our expectations. Anything left was ours for the day. The room was very clean, quiet, and its location was perfect for accessing the city center. We wholeheartedly recommend without hesitation and will definitely return.

Structure managed by Mrs. Donatella, along with her husband Gianni. Education, customer respect, welcoming, availability, love for their work, this is what we found when crossing the threshold of this B&B. Things that unfortunately you don't always have the opportunity to find in many establishments, where the only purpose they have is profit. The structure can only reflect the people who manage it: very clean, attention to detail, spacious and comfortable bathroom, very abundant sweet/savory breakfast, with the addition of local products. Excellent value for money, considering that you are just a few steps from the historic center of Polignano. Highly recommended!

Our stay at Donatella was truly special in many ways. Gianni and Donatella with their passion and dedication in welcoming guests and offering the utmost comfort possible, have inspired us as individuals to make our work better for everyone. The cleanliness is impeccable. The breakfast with fresh and delicious pastries, local products, I loved the croissant made by Donatella. Also, the care in fulfilling absolutely everything we asked for was exceptional. There are no words to thank you and describe the experience of staying in this b&b and moreover, Polignano, as a city, leaves nothing to be desired. We left but a piece of our heart remained here. Thank you Donatella and Gianni.

This wonderful bed and breakfast located in the center of the marvelous Polignano a Mare left us speechless. A clean and modern environment (recently built), attention to detail. A plentiful breakfast with a wide choice: from coffee to milk, to sweets prepared with care and love by the owner, ending with fruits and cold cuts with cheeses. The extremely kind and helpful owner gave us a complimentary bottle of Primitivo as we were there for our sixth wedding anniversary, with an attached greeting card. I will definitely come back with my husband and our little one. Keep up the great work!

This place is nice with the brand new room equipped with all the necessary comforts. Just a stone's throw from the center and the public parking. Breakfast more than abundant. The attention to guests is the most important thing. Donatella and her husband are extremely helpful and very attentive. We happened upon an evening of panzerotto festival, strictly handmade by Donatella and delicious, where we met very nice and easygoing friends of Donatella. It felt like being with family!

Rating 10, everything fantastic. \nBrand new structure, exceptional cleanliness, a breakfast that serves as breakfast, lunch, and dinner. \nAn exceptional family, they made us feel not like guests, but part of the family. \nWe can say we have friends in Polignano. \nFor those who want to stay in Polignano a Mare, the B&B Donatella is not to be recommended but to be obliged.

The maximum of friendliness and availability you will find in this structure with Gianni and Donatella and their little assistants. UNIQUE breakfast, spacious and comfortable rooms, free snacks, tour guide Gianni with tasting of local products and knowledge of the territory, all included in the room cost, which personally, I found to be the lowest among all the structures in the requested period. Perfect location for nearby parking and exploring the town even on foot being literally 2 steps from the center! In short, simply to try and go back for sure!

We went to the Donatella B&B to spend a weekend in Polignano and we can say we had a really good time. Beautiful structure, impeccable cleanliness but what surprised us the most was the welcome of the managers Gianni and Donatella who made us feel at home, always kind and available to fulfill our every request and they made our stay even more enjoyable with pleasant surprises and good food. They treated us like we were their friends and we will definitely come back to visit them. We recommend Donatella B&B to everyone.

We stayed with my friends at the bed and breakfast Donatella. From the very first moment we noticed extreme cleanliness, attention to detail but above all we had the chance to meet Donatella and her family... Well, what can I say, they are truly exceptional people! The breakfast in the room is wonderful, full of many good and genuine things prepared by Donatella; the property has all the comforts, very close to the center, the train station and is very close to a parking lot where you can park your car safely! 10+ rating for the bed and breakfast Donatella!

I stayed with some friends at this B&B for a vacation and we were immediately greeted by the owners as if we had known each other for years! We immediately noticed their friendliness that makes you feel at home. The rooms are arranged and well-maintained in detail. Breakfast always top-notch with fresh food and different things every day. Inside the room, there is also a minibar always kept full by the owners and which you can use freely. Furthermore, the owners are always available for everything, always ready to help you if there is a problem or for information on where to go. I was pleasantly surprised by all this because it is not easy to find places like this, as often in other B&Bs you are left to yourself. If I were to return to that area, I would definitely choose this place. Highly recommended!

We stayed at this bed and breakfast from August 16th to 23rd, my husband and I. Extremely clean structure, conveniently located near a large free parking lot, close to the historic center, very kind owners ready to help you with every need. The spacious room with balcony is quiet despite being very close to where the evening entertainment starts. In the morning, a very kind Donatella delivers a generous breakfast outside the room door, notifying with a light touch on the door at the chosen time by the guest with what you desire most every day many extra things that can be taken for the daily trip that will take place. We thank Donatella and her family very much for the warmth with which they welcomed us, making us feel truly pampered and comfortable. We will definitely be back.

Among the beauties of Polignano, I would add the B&B Donatella! Located in the center of Polignano, a stone's throw from the most beautiful beaches and a few km from the characteristic places of Puglia. Extremely clean rooms, attention to the smallest details, super abundant breakfast with delicacies made with love by the exquisite Donatella! We also had the opportunity to use food bags to bring fruit, snacks or anything we didn't eat. The room is equipped with a minibar with snacks and drinks offered by the sweet owners. In this B&B you won't feel like guests, but an integral part of the family because Donatella, her husband Gianni, and their two splendid children will welcome you as if you were visiting relatives! Thank you, thank you, thank you for making us feel at home. We will definitely see you again!

B&B located a stone's throw from the center of Polignano a Mare. Managed by two unique and sunny people who make you feel at home right away. Beautiful rooms equipped with every comfort, taken care of in every detail both aesthetically and in terms of hygiene and cleanliness. Even breakfast is curated in every detail, in fact, every morning it varies because Donatella produces the products offered daily. Excellent services offered by the B&B. Gianni and Donatella fully deserve this score and all the beautiful reviews that can be read on this site. I will come back 200% ❤️. THANK YOU for taking care of us and making our two days of stay magical! 🥰

Unfortunately, the cold numbers cannot express the human warmth received at this fantastic facility, which is already excellent for its location, cleanliness and the rich breakfast entrusted to the wise hands of Donatella, who has proven to be a skilled pastry chef, starting with the strictly artisanal croissants served every morning (what a good morning!). From places to see to restaurants to eat, every possible information and assistance will be given to you at the facility, which embodies in the purest sense the idea of a B&B, a place where you feel like guests of a friend, obviously not intrusive, and not just simple patrons treated with emotional detachment, as has happened to me in other hotels and bed and breakfasts. Without taking anything away from the kind and meticulous Donatella, attentive to every detail and to the prescriptions due to COVID-19 which certainly made the management of the facility more burdensome, I must spend sincere words of praise also for the super-husband Gianni, a real volcano of energy and a person of unique sympathy and humanity, unfindable in today's times! There is certainly also his hand in the success of the idea that with many sacrifices they have been able to carry forward, with results, as I see from the reviews, excellent and widely shared. You are a beautiful couple and a wonderful family, I can only wish you the best, personally and professionally... you deserve it! P. S. I miss you so much... hope to see you soon.

Fantastic to say the least. I can tell you right away that impeccable management like that of Donatella's bed and breakfast in Polignano a Mare, you won't find anywhere else. Simplicity, familiarity, cordiality, and friendship. The girl Donatella (the owner of the eponymous bed and breakfast) is undoubtedly a very kind, friendly, and very nice person. Always available to guests' needs. The "Francesco" room, where I stayed for a week, is very spacious, and even more so for me, having stayed alone. Equipped with all the necessary comfort and more (like the shower with chromotherapy) and in addition, you can enjoy a very abundant and succulent breakfast, which is served in the room, another top treat. Donatella prepares cookies, cakes, and croissants with her own hands. Yum yum. By the way, a friendship has been established from the first day, precisely because Donatella is truly a simple and down-to-earth person, she never makes you feel just a guest, but she makes you feel at home. Highly recommended, super highly recommended.

I highly recommend it due to the good location of the B&B, but also for the good welcome from the owner and for the good cleanliness. Comfortable and welcoming room including television, Wi-Fi, and excellent air conditioning for hot periods. Abundant breakfast in the morning in the room with fruit (given in a bag so it can be consumed at a later time), sweet and savory also prepared by the owner herself.

The structure is well positioned just outside the historic center. There are paid parking spaces below and a large free one a few hundred meters adjacent to the train station. Donatella is fantastic, caring and helpful, the fairy godmother of great and abundant breakfasts. The structure has all the comforts of a high-end hotel room and despite other rooms being occupied during our stay, we didn't hear any noise. If we go back to that area, we will definitely return and in any case I recommend it.

Also, the room is spacious with a bed, a sofa, and a table where we could enjoy the delicious breakfasts cooked by Donatella who spoiled us with products she prepared or bought that morning. The bathroom is equipped with every comfort including a whirlpool bath. Furthermore, we want to praise the impeccable cleanliness of the structure. In conclusion, what stayed with us the most from this stay was the simplicity and the welcoming that is not so common. Donatella and Gianni conveyed to us with their advice, smiles, and their company values that we will carry with us beyond the duration of the stay. Ilaria and Davide.

It is rare to go to a Bed and Breakfast and not have anything negative to say. The undisputed beauty of Polignano and its historic center, literally steps away, is accompanied by details that make the difference such as impeccable cleanliness, public parking a short distance away, the whirlpool shower, and the excellent value for money. Another excellence of the place is the abundant breakfast, entirely homemade with excellent sweets prepared by the very kind owner, fresh and dried seasonal fruit grown by family members. Last but not least, the extreme kindness and pleasant friendliness of the owners Donatella and Gianni, unique masters of hospitality and truly exquisite people! You will experience this feeling when taking the excursion with their brand new boat, where you will feel welcomed as part of the Family with lunch offered by them and with the many explanations and tips on places to visit (you can imagine Polignano seen from the sea). They live in the same house with their children and their advice on beaches and restaurants (always excellent) allowed us to have a very pleasant stay. Highly recommended! We will be back soon.

B&B located on the main road but not in the historical center. Convenient for those with a car. Parking nearby, shops and pharmacies in the immediate vicinity. Extremely quiet and quite large room. All the furniture is new and clean. The shower is a bit uncomfortable even though it has a whirlpool. Rich and varied breakfast. Young and helpful owner. The entrance has a staircase that is not suitable for everyone (elderly and disabled). Strategic location for the historical center and the train station.

Everything perfect: the room and the bathroom are spotless, everything works perfectly, comfortable bed, air conditioning, hydromassage shower, TV in the room and, for any eventuality, Donatella is always available. A special mention deserves her exquisite breakfasts: coffee, milk, fruit juices, rusks, wafers, tarts, small cakes, various packaged items, croissants, dried fruit and fresh fruit and many delicious things made at home by her, plus she always adds something that can be taken away for lunch or a snack on the beach (sandwiches or focaccia, for example).

Donatella is really good at her job: it's always nice when it's also the people who make the place beautiful, here we have an example. Abundant breakfast always with something sweet and savory, with products of really good quality. There were also packaged products, of quality, that we did not take, but to meet everyone's needs. We preferred fresh fruit and fresh focaccias as well as excellent sweets that we found every day. To recommend and, hopefully, to return because Polignano a mare is a beautiful place.
