"Travelling as a family of 4 with 2 small children staying at Torre Cintola was ideal. Its location was close by to the main places we wanted to visit (Polignano a Mare, Monopoli, Ostuni, Alberobello, Matera, Bari, etc). It’s right on the coast, so the views are beautiful and worthwhile to take a drive along the road to see restaurants or beach clubs. While we were there it was a bit too cool to truly enjoy the ocean, but the sun was warm enough to still enjoy everything else. The resort itself was very clean, our room was spacious, daily housekeeping, clean towels, sheets cleaned every few days. Our room was super close to the parking lot so that was a nice convenience. Our breakfast was included with our stay. It has a nice selection. We only stayed for dinner 1 night, and the food was very good. Unfortunately some of the other restaurants were closed (we traveled first week of May). We were told they would open up again during peak season.
There’s a little playground on the grounds for kids to enjoy and 2 pools. My kids did use the pool on warmer days, although it was a bit cold (didn’t seem to bother them). The beach was not open. Although I wouldn’t necessarily consider it a beach, there’s no sand. It’s all big rocks. But there are lounge chairs set up infront of the water. Overall a great stay, I would come back during peak season to fully enjoy all amenities."
