Giovì Relais
Polignano a Mare, Puglia
A closer look
Why We Recommend This Hotel
A considered base for experiencing Polignano a Mare.
Giovì Relais is particularly well positioned for travellers who want to make the most of Polignano a Mare. Set on Via Roma in the centre of town, you can step outside and explore the historic streets, restaurants and lively piazzas on foot, while the Adriatic and famous Lama Monachile are also within easy walking distance. We particularly like it as a base for a longer stay: you can settle in, enjoy Polignano in the evenings and use the town as a starting point for exploring Alberobello, the Valle d’Itria and the wider Puglian countryside. This is why we’ve selected Giovì Relais as the base for all six nights of our Puglia Walking Tour.
About Giovì Relais
Giovì Relais is a small hotel in central Polignano a Mare, one of Puglia’s most distinctive coastal towns. Its interiors combine the pale stone associated with this part of southern Italy with a clean, contemporary style, and accommodation ranges from Superior and Deluxe rooms through to Junior Suites and Suites.
Breakfast is served on the hotel’s terrace, while facilities include a solarium with Jacuzzi and a dedicated spa and wellness centre. The central location is one of its strongest attributes: rather than staying outside town and travelling in each evening, guests are already in the heart of Polignano a Mare and can explore independently on foot.
Rooms & Suites
Accommodation at Giovì Relais includes Superior Rooms, Deluxe Rooms, Junior Suites and Suites. Rooms are air-conditioned and include private bathrooms, Wi-Fi, minibar, safe and television, with some accommodation also offering balconies. The overall style is understated and contemporary, making good use of the stone and neutral tones characteristic of the region.
Spa & Wellness
Giovì Relais has its own spa and wellness centre, with facilities including a Turkish bath, salt room, chromotherapy treatments, Jacuzzi and relaxation area. Spa access and treatments are available by reservation and incur an additional charge, making this a useful option after a day spent walking or exploring Puglia.
Location
Giovì Relais is located on Via Roma in central Polignano a Mare, placing the historic centre, cafés, restaurants, shops and waterfront within easy walking distance. Lama Monachile, the small pebble beach set between the cliffs beneath the old town, is around a five-minute walk away.
The location also works well as a base for exploring inland Puglia. Alberobello and the trulli country of the Valle d’Itria, Locorotondo, Monopoli and the olive-growing landscapes further south can all be incorporated into a wider Puglia itinerary.
7 Day Puglia Walking Tour
We’ve chosen Giovì Relais as the base for all six nights of our Puglia Walking Tour 2027. Staying in one hotel for the week means no repeated packing and unpacking, while its central Polignano a Mare location gives you the freedom to enjoy the town independently when the day’s organised activities are finished.
It’s a particularly good fit for this itinerary. Days are spent walking through Puglia’s olive groves, vineyards, trulli country and historic landscapes or visiting places such as Alberobello, Ostuni, Lecce and Matera; in the evening, you return to a familiar base in one of the Adriatic coast’s most appealing towns.
