San Lorenzo Boutique Hotel & Spa

Just driving round for a hotel in region it was Antonello’s pleasant, and cooperative approach who made us decide to stay here. The hotel exceeded our expectations, starting the day with an excellent breakfast surrounded by the green in the beautiful well maintained garden, overviewing the blue Adriatic from a distance, we could continue our day first with enjoying the very nice pool facilities and afterwards being able to drive to multiple Puglian villages in the neighborhood of Polignano a Mare like Alberobello and Monopoli. Last, but not least very friendly staff at all levels.

Puglia was the final leg of our 2-week European holiday. We planned it so we could have pool and beach time toward the end of our trip. While I had initially set my sights on staying at a masseria, it was difficult to find one that checked off the boxes on our list. We landed on San Lorenzo and Polignano a Mare as our base for exploring the area. We booked a 2-bedroom suite; one room had two twins and the other a king-sized bed. The bathroom had a decent amount of space around the sink for toiletries. However, the bathroom is in serious need of a deep clean and/or refurbishment. The faucet lever appeared to have plastic at one end and many of the wall hooks need to be tightened; I was worried about hanging my toiletry bag on them. There is ample space for luggage storage throughout the suite. We appreciated the bedroom slippers as well. We did indulge in spa treatments at Senso Spa. They allowed us to include our two kids in the wellness package, which they enjoyed. I highly recommend. There was a dry sauna, steam room, hot tub, and a salt room, which I have never encountered at a spa stateside. We did splurge on the beach club in Monopoli that the hotel partners with. I highly recommend it. As for the pool on site, we enjoyed lounging out there each day. We ordered drinks and snacks from the bar area and there were plenty of seating available. We did drive into town each night for dinner and loved the proximity of center storico to the hotel.

We loved our five night stay at San Lorenzo. The grounds are beautiful and everyday we explored a different section. The Breakfast room is in a garden settng surrounded by cactus plants sprouting prickly pears and the food selections are plentiful and delicious. Our room choice faced the pool and had a large balony. Loved the room and hotel decor which was clean, modern and uncluttered, Bathroom was large as well as the shower. The pool area with bar, lounge and restaurant was great. We used San Lorenzo as a base for visiting the surrounding towns, Martina Franca, Ostuni, Alberbello, Monopoli and Bari. We had a wonderful experience at San Lorenzo.

Excellent place! Discreet, exquis, peaceful, in the middle of a nice garden. Nice pool, good musi, very good breakfast. People very nice, without exception. Special mention for Fedele, the night knight! Hope to meet again!

Excellent location away from the hustle and bustle of Polignano; professional and friendly staff at the reception; stayed for one week on a half board plan and greatly appeciated the variety and quality of the freshly homemade cakes for breakfast, not to mention the great mozzarella and other local savoury produce! The dinner menu was simply amazing , both fish and meat dishes were tasty and hearty ; the maitre Mr Pasquale always had the right choice of local wines to accompany the food; special mention also to the Chef , young and very passionate, and all the waiters ! We were a little less satisfied with the servicing of the rooms, sometimes not so attentive; the issue was mentioned to the reception and we noted an improvement on the following days; could not comment onthe SPA since we did not use it.

We were a group of 4 couples for 5 nights and we had a great stay at this hotel. The rooms were big and well appointed. I had a large balcony which was overlooking the pool. The grounds were impeccably manicured. The whole resort was very updated and clean. The included breakfast was excellent and near a beautiful garden. Parking on site was very convenient. The location of this hotel was perfect for going to surrounding towns to explore. The hotel staff was very accommodating and helpful with whatever our needs were. If I am ever in the Bari area again I would definitely stay at this hotel again. What a great way to start our 3 week stay in Italy.
