Borgobianco Resort and Spa offers a truly luxurious five-star experience. We stayed there for six nights in late April, and Simone was our on-site manager, always there to help. Domenico, Rebecca, and Antonella welcomed us with open arms, truly making us feel like family during our stay. They were so professional, courteous, and always ready to lend a hand. Domenico also arranged a convenient shuttle to Polignano a Mare. Our suite on the second floor was a dream, with all the luxury amenities you could want—a cozy and clean living area, bedroom, bathroom, closet, refrigerator, and even a security safe. The resort boasted a beautiful pool, spa (thank you, Pamela!), and an exercise room on a large property that looked out over olive groves and the Adriatic Sea. The staff was so attentive, keeping our room spotless with two visits each day. The groundskeepers had created a garden paradise bursting with fragrance. Every morning, we were treated to an endless buffet and coffee by the friendly Sevario and his talented team—Antonio, Angelo, Luciano, and Yury. In the evening, the restaurant was run by the same wonderful group! The menu was fantastic, with so many delicious options prepared by a chef who deserves a Michelin star. Marilena and Marcelo greeted us at the poolside bar with our favorite drinks every day. They made our evenings so relaxing after a long day of exploring. Our time at Borgobianco was truly exceptional, and we can’t wait to return. Borgobianco is like the “Hotel California” of Polignano a Mare; you can check in whenever you like, and you’ll never want to leave!

An amazing hotel made so by the courteous and helpful staff. Truly they treat all visitors as family with respect and care. Staff members would go out of their way to provide superlative service each of our five days staying with them. They remembered likes and dislikes and anticipated our needs. You can’t ask for more. As for the rooms and decor and setting, all were excellent. Our particular favorite was the plaza in the center of the hotel. Morning, noon and night, it was a wonderful location to sit and relax and enjoy the memories of the day touring. The restaurant served amazing choices of cuisine prepared and presented with class and distinction. Having travelled the USA and Europe as well as northern Italy, this shines bright as a don’t miss destination. Thanks to Danilo, Simone, Frederica, Fabio and all of the staff who made this such an amazing experience. God bless and ciao! Rodger A. Pelagalli

“Excellent 5 star experience and service.”

WOW! The photos online don’t begin to capture how beautiful Biancoborgo really is. From the moment we arrived we felt instantly relaxed. The staff are wonderfully attentive, delivering the kind of service you’d expect from a true 5-star hotel. The grounds and rooms are immaculate, and breakfast wa… more

WOW! The photos online don’t begin to capture how beautiful Biancoborgo really is. From the moment we arrived we felt instantly relaxed. The staff are wonderfully attentive, delivering the kind of service you’d expect from a true 5-star hotel. The grounds and rooms are immaculate, and breakfast was outstanding. The pool and pool bar make for a perfectly lazy afternoon, and the complimentary shuttle into Polignano is excellent, frequent enough that you can fully enjoy the town without ever worrying about the drive back. Every team member we met was fabulous, especially Giovanni and the two Federicas at reception, who went above and beyond to help with reservation changes and any questions we had. A genuinely exceptional stay. A great home base if you wanting to explore Puglia. We will be back again

“Would return but know the limitations”

Very good for a four star hotel ( but if claiming 5 star then maybe not, unless different standards in Italy). Beautiful setting and nice rooms (we had a sitting room, porch, and lovely view over the fields to the sea). Pool has chipping paint all over needs a cleaning and repainting, and it would… more

Very good for a four star hotel ( but if claiming 5 star then maybe not, unless different standards in Italy). Beautiful setting and nice rooms (we had a sitting room, porch, and lovely view over the fields to the sea). Pool has chipping paint all over needs a cleaning and repainting, and it would be better if the area that looked to everyone like a hot tub ( everyone approached it and tried it) was heated. Even better if the pool had some solar heating for the shoulder season. I like cold pools but whoa! The restaurants were short staffed? There seemed to be just one senior waiter working very hard and trying to coordinate a whole lot of other staff fumbling around. The one hour a day restriction on use of the gym and spa was annoying especially since hotel was clearly not full. Another thing they don’t tell you in advance is that the shuttle to town does not run nearly often enough or with enough capacity or right to the beach. Taxis are €35 one way for a 15 min trip; €45 after 9 pm. Nor is there any beach set up like some other off-shore hotels I’ve been to. Would stay here again but still people should know about these limitations.
