Friendly & fresh

Perfectly located in the heart of the Old Town, in a quiet pedestrian-only area where cars are not allowed. It’s just a short walk from the famous beach. The lovely breakfast served on the rooftop was a great way to start each day. Francesco was an excellent host and was happy to arrange cruises, taxis, and anything else we needed. We spent an amazing weekend here, definitely recommend it

Excellent location, sea view from the terrace, breakfast on the terrace, home made delicious baking, cocktails at sundown, very clean, so charming. If stairs are difficult for you, this may not be the stay for you. Although staff is very helpful and always ready to carry and assist.

Francesco runs a good B&B. Good breakfast with his mother making the pastries.
-
Staff is very professional and kind. He organized to pick us up and drop us off at the station. The breakfast and view are amazing. Location is perfect. Our stay was above than expected.
-
The staff/owner were extremely responsive, helpful, and we appreciate their efforts. They went out of their way to accommodate us. The room was updated and modern, but much smaller than we expected based on the pictures and description
-
Central, clean, family run Stairs and tiny spaces which is expected, as the historical center was built this way
-
Everything ,perfect location in center of Polignano. Kind staff. And great rooftop view just a bit pricey

We loved the location of this property, it was on a quiet street - but still in the heart of beautiful Polignano a Mare. The breakfast was amazing. Homemade. Delicious.

We reserved two nights at FRONTEblu B&B during our stay in Polignano a Mare, and after extensive research, we found it to be the perfect home away from home. It met all our desired criteria: centrally located near the heart of the old town, steps away from the iconic Lama Monachile beach, close to the statue of Placido Domingo, and surrounded by scenic photo spots ideal for capturing the area’s natural beauty and sunsets. From FRONTEblu, it was easy to explore the town’s enchanting maze of narrow whitewashed alleys, small piazzas, and historic buildings perched dramatically above the Adriatic Sea. As an added bonus, the B&B features an open rooftop terrace—a peaceful spot to enjoy the sea breeze. Our host, Francesco, a courteous and capable young man, reached out before our arrival to guide us on parking outside the restricted traffic zone of the old town. He arranged for a golf cart to bring us directly to FRONTEblu. Francesco personally met us at the drop-off point, warmly welcomed us, and helped carry our luggage during a short walk and up the stairs to the second-floor apartment. He took time to thoroughly explain everything we needed to know about the accommodation and the area, offering excellent local tips and recommendations for sights and restaurants. His hospitality immediately made us feel at home. After a fulfilling first day exploring all we had hoped for, we were treated to a delightful breakfast the next morning, lovingly prepared by Francesco’s mother. A gracious woman with remarkable culinary and artistic talent, she served pastries and cakes that stood out for their textures, flavors, and presentation—evoking memories of the famed Demel café in Vienna. We’re truly grateful to Francesco for his warm hospitality and attentive care, and to his wonderful mother for the delicious, beautifully prepared breakfast. Together, they made our experience at FRONTEblu feel not just like a stay, but a cherished memory.

Francesco was a fantastic host. He helped us get our bags to the property and made us feel at home. The rooftop was a beautiful spot to enjoy happy hour. Great location for the beaches and dinner. Sound travels a little between the rooms, but nothing we didn’t expect.
-
We loved the home made breakfast and the terrace which allowed us to see the new year's fireworks. Great location with parking very close to the main square and attractions of the city. The host was super available and friendly. The bathroom is basically in the room. Both the WC and the shower are in the room enclosed (separately) by a glass box. The sink is right in front of the bed, not enclosed. Spaces were super optimized but tight.
-
Exceptional and by far the best experience in 6 weeks in Italy. Communication, service, location, comfort, breakfast, a shuttle free back to the train station. I can go on. Francesco, you are a true host! Oh.. and great rooftop terrace Nothing, everything was perfect

Great location in heart of all town. Comfortable room and bed. Amazing breakfast!! So friendly, always available and helpful. Can’t fault it. Loved it!

The breakfast at FONTEblu was exceptional! Francesco's mum made all the amazing home-made cakes, and they were delicious! A traditional Italian breakfast with fresh meats, cheeses, eggs, breads. And Francesco made us coffee as well. We were very spoilt! The location was fabulous, and the roof top deck was amazing to sit and have breakfast, or to have a cocktail and watch the sunset. It had such a beautiful view of the ocean! We would definitely recommend staying at FONTEblu.

Extremaly polite host Francesco, good breakfast and good location. However, a few things turned out to be bothersome during our stay. Everything that the neighbors do could be heard very well in the next room, even whispers and the sound of turning on the light. The toilet is completely glazed and is located in the room. There is glass above the door to the corridor, as a result of which every time the light in the corridor was turned on, the room became completely bright. Luckily, we had only booked two nights, the second of which was sleepless.
