Okay this is a wedding venue if you don’t like music…don’t book here otherwise it is an exceptional property. Beautiful and lovely staff. Convenient parking, delicious and generous breakfast. Clean and fabulous room with lovely balcony…we want our kids weddings here one day. Gorgeous grounds…we felt very lucky to find the room there as there are only 8 rooms at any given time. We will be back and we will let everyone of our friends and family know about this gem in south of Italy.

Expedia should make it clear upfront that it is a wedding venue that has hotel rooms. Wedding music ended between 10-11 pm, but it was somewhat annoying. Other than that, everything was very nice and a good value.

It is not a hotel. It is a marriage celebration venue that has some rooms in it. I would not recommend it as a hotel.

Wedding venue masquerading as a hotel
This is not a hotel, it is a wedding venue with rooms. We had a wedding ongoing outside our room until 11:30 on our second night. It was not on the floor below, it was directly outside our room. The staff would only say, we sent you an email warning you we have weddings most nights. Unless you just want a room from midnight, this is not somewhere that you can or should stay.

This is a wedding venue, not a hotel. Do not stay here. The staff will treat you like you are unwelcome and there is a wedding every single day with music so loud your room will shake. This is not a hotel.

This is a beautiful place, the focus is on big events (weddings, parties, etc.). The staff were definitely focused on larger groups, not on a single couple for just two nights. The site is fantastic though you have nothing close by and have to drive (10 minutes) into Puglianano a Mare.

Hotel Gem
We were greeted in the hotel parking lot and taken to the hotel reception area by upscale golf cart. The reception staff were very pleasant and helpful about not only their restaurant in town but others as well. The grounds of this hotel are beautiful and make the villa hotel even more striking. In the evening the hotel is visible from a distance due to the lovely lighting. The entry fountain is lit up and it is all very dramatic at night. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. Mini bar and fridge, satellite tv, good air conditioning, jacuzzi tub and separate shower. Plenty of hot water. The price for the room included a breakfast buffet with a good variety of options. I am very impressed with the staff at the hotel. Everyone was pleasant and helpful, this hotel is a destination wedding reception site and while we were there all 6 days had a wedding. The place is meticulously maintained. We used the hotel location as our base for touring the Apulia area. For us it was perfect. We enjoyed returning from our daily excursions and seeing so many happy people celebrating a wedding. We walked the gardens in the morning after breakfast and before leaving for our visits to other cities. Polignano a Mare has an old city center that has many good restaurants and price points. The fish choices are excellent. Parking in public lots is available and easier than trying to find street parking. I can’t say enough good things about our stay at San Tommaso in Polignano a Mare.

Nice hotel. Out of polignano difficult without car
A very comfortable hotel but appears geared for conferences and weddings. A little lacking in atmosphere and a bit soulless but comfortable and modern with great air conditioning on hot august nights.

This was a wonderful place to stay near the highway for day trips to Ostuni, Lecce and Bari. Breakfast was very good. The staff provided good service although none of the evening staff spoke English. They were good enough to help us rent a wheelchair for one of our party. Enjoyed the beautiful grounds. Room and bath were large. Just the right place for 3 people.

Great Hotel but far from town
Although this hotel was located quite a way from the town of Poligmare a Mare, it made up for it's location with fine service, lovely property and facilities. The room made us feel like royalty and breakfast was plentiful, fresh and delicious. We read that the hotel was mainly used to host events and the night we arrived there was a wedding in progress, but it didn't bother us in the least: our room was quiet, the reception answered every question we had, and the breakfast waiter gave us his full attention.

Great stay!
The hotel is on beautiful landscaped grounds with a wedding held every night we stayed there. We were prepared for this though given previous reviews, so didn't mind this. Rooms were spacious and comfortable and was decent quality for the price. Staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome. The breakfast spread was great, with a choice of freshly squeezed vegetable and fruit juice, cakes, ham & cheese etc. All in all a fantastic stay - thank you Hotel San Tommaso!

uncommon luxury at the door of polignano a mare
this hotel deserves every superlative, unless you need a swimming pool and gym, and unless you go to bed very early--there are wedding receptions almost every night. that said, the property itself and the rooms approach relais chateaux standards. the buffet breakfast is total quality. the staff is meticulous. bicycles are available to guests who want to cruise polignano. I recommend this place without reservation.

A lovely stay in Polignano.
This is a really nice place to stay. The rooms are lovely, the staff is terrific, the building and grounds are beautiful. The location is about 1 1/2 miles from the center of the town, which isn't a big problem and the trade off is more space and the beautiful grounds. The room price was terrific. Yes, it is a wedding venue first, but the two nights we were there, the weddings were fun to see and were over before we returned from dinner. An option worthy of consideration.

Good hotel with no parking problems
This hotel is well away from Polignano a Mere, but we got a taxi in to town for the evening and arranged for the driver to pick us up for our return. The cost was €25. It is a lovely hotel and our senior suite had a huge balcony but did not have much room to sit inside. The hotel does not have a restaurant but the breakfast was good and they arranged for some ham & cheese for our lunch. There was a wedding taking place and most of the hotel was taken over by this function. The bar is very small and manned by the reception staff. This was strange but we were ok to get a drink when we needed it. For the price, this was an ideal hotel for the one night we had in the area. Parking in the town can be difficult, so this beautiful hotel out if town was a good option. Only complaint was that the air con was controlled by reception and the setting was too high for us (too warm)

Very nice stay with lovely staff
we had a very nice overnight stay at san Tommaso. The staff were very welcoming and the room was superb. We had a lovely bottle of wine outside on the patio in the sun. We ate out in town and were aware that San Tommaso has weddings almost every night as they did the night we stayed. It is essentially a wedding venue outside of town but we understood that going in and it was no bother. The breakfast was wonderful and the waiter fantastic.

Nothing but good things!
We arrived a little bit early and our room wasn't ready so they gave us a complementary espresso and we waiting in the bar area. We were told it would be about an hour, but they had it ready in less than 20 minutes. Great service. The room was on the 2nd floor served by an elevator, and had a huge balcony with panoramic views of the ocean and surrounding area. (we had the senior suite). Large, comfortable bed and air conditioning along with fairly modern, trendy decor was lovely, but the lack of a real shower (there is a shower hand nozzle) was a bit annoying... but it was a jacuzzi bath, so that's a good thing. If I could sum it up, we had a lovely stay at a great price with an amazing view and a great breakfast in the morning - along with free parking and wifi and you have a great hotel.

Most beautiful grounds
The hotel and grounds were perfectly beautiful, immaculately kept. Our room was very large and the spa bathroom was super. The breakfast was varied and excellent quality, the sweet tarts a real treat. We had 3 nights and each evening there was a wedding! We had no idea the hotel was mainly a wedding venue but this in no way detracted from our stay as we were out all day and went in to town for dinner in the evening. When each wedding finished, it was perfectly quiet for sleeping. The staff were friendly and parking was no problem as a place was saved for hotel guests.
