The Malu Bed & Breakfast is a wonderful structure overlooking the sea, built in the most beautiful point of Polignano a mare (the birthplace of Domenico Modugno, one of the most famous Italian singer, whose statue has been located just 20 metres far from our B & B ). The sea, near our structure, on which our rooms overlook, has been awarded with the Blue Flag and the 4 Sails of Legambiente. The family management of the Malu assures an incommensurable choice of culinary deliciousness in the continental breakfast that we offer to our appreciated guests. We use to propose to our client every morning too many homemade cakes, sweets, every kind of juices, jams, yogurt, quiches, fresh fruit and much more. The guideline of our team is make unforgettable the stay of our guest, combining radiance and kindness, with a charming and romantic location, a stunning view on sea and sunsets and an enchanting landscape. All our rooms, located just 30 metres from the beach, are modern, with air conditioning and with balcony, someone with panoramic sea view and someone inside.

Wonderful hosts, excellent service and beautiful room with a killer view of Polignano on a cliff. Perfect sunrise spot. Hosts went beyond expectations to fetch us from/to carpark. Gave great recommendations for restaurants and boat tour.

Opening the doors to the balcony of my room at the Malu was like welcoming in a sense of pure calm - the views are spectacular and the sea is mesmerising. The room itself is very simply furnished and clean. The breakfast had cold offerings only but the food was very tasty and of high quality and the cakes were delicious and homemade - the view was delightful - what a way to start the day! This is a family-run hotel and it was lovely to experience the solidarity of the various family members working together. Our main host Alessio speaks excellent English, had great restaurant tips, was well-organized, helpful and very friendly. The location of the B&B is top (and not just for the sea view)! Just minutes to the delightful old town. I would love to have the opportunity to stay again. Thank you Alessio and family!…

My adult Son and I had a wonderful 3 night stay at this beautiful perfectly located B&B. A family owned establishment, Alesso and his family catered to all of our needs. From local touring, great restaurant suggestions, local sights for us to see on a rainy day, even a recommended barber my son. They could not have been more accommodating. Room #9 was very comfortable (even the couch was comfortable for my son) and the view from our balcony room was fabulous. Highly recommended!

We arrived at this hotel and were unable to get in even though we had booked a room. We phoned both numbers listed outside and emailed them to no avail. It is now 3 days later and still no word. This is absolutely disgraceful

I only stayed 2 nights at Malu, but it was a wonderful stay. The place is beautiful (with a gorgeous view from the terrace and places to lounge). A few minutes from the beach and the historic area, so close to everything you want to do. Breakfast is Italian style--croissants and coffee, so basic but good.The b&b is owned by a family who all work together to make the stay great. I could have stayed longer, and a great place to relax and catch your breath after traveling. There is a lift so if you have heavy bags like I did you can get to your room easily! I would stay here again.

We stayed 3 days here. The location is top and also the view from our room was amazing. However the breakfast was quite less, and when we were running out of shampoos they did not replace it just throw away... so for 800 eur in a bed and breakfast you can expect to have shampoo and enough breakfast too. I recommend their private boat tour, it was worth. 40 eur /person 1 hour.

We were greeted by Paulo who was extremely welcoming and allowed us to check in early - he showed us around our unit and then showed us more surprises with the rooftop breakfast area. The breakfast the next morning was outstanding - the whole family were in attendance and nothing was too much for them to do for us.

We stayed here for 2 nights during our Puglian tour. The hotel is very well located, right overlooking a small bay inlet with views of the old harbour town, and fab views of the rocks where the Red Bull diving takes place. We had a top floor balcony room, No. 9, which was perfectly OK. However, for me, it was rather dated and offered poor quality furnishing/no toiletries etc.,for my liking, plus a very hard bed and pillows. But it was clean. Bathroom was a bit cramped, not much vanity space and shower a bit small. Breakfast was a bit minimal, mostly cakes, but the coffee was good and the views amazing.. The owners are very helpful and advised on all restaurants etc., and we parked the car not far away. I would recommend Malu for location, the helpfulness of the owenrs, but would not recommend for a lengthy stay as facilities bit limited.…

Very clean place, conveniently located right next to all the cool beaches. The best thing about the whole B&B is the terrace on their 3rd floor, which most of the time was completely empty. The only downside was breakfast. I estimate the total cost of everything offered at breakfast is no more than 20 euros. Everything was very sugary and artificially flavored, nothing really homemade. I think if at least some omelet was offered that would make breakfast more enjoyable. Otherwise, good place

We arrived to be greeted by Paulo who then arranged for a Tuk Tuk to follow us to park our car and bring us back. This was a great start to the holiday and fun . Hotel is immaculately clean and our room 5 overlooked the sea. Breakfast is served on the terrace upstairs and you have a great view and you can use this area throughout the day/evening. There are comfortable chairs and loungers. Breakfast is sufficient. Centrally located you won’t get better. You can watch the world go by from your balcony and the locals jumping off the cliffs! Great stay highly recommend
