Grotta Palazzese
Polignano a Mare, Italy · ★ 4.5 Exceptional B.Booking.com 9.0
A round jacuzzi on a private terrace, the Adriatic flat and blue ahead, Polignano's limestone cliffs to your left.
The photos tell you everything you need to know. You're in the water, the jets are running, and beyond a low glass balustrade the Adriatic stretches out until it meets the sky. One shot catches it at dusk, the old stone walls of the palazzo lit violet behind you, a single boat sitting still on the water. It's very quiet. That's the whole point.
Grotta Palazzese is the place to look for a hotel with a private in-room jacuzzi in Polignano a Mare, though here the tub sits on a private terrace rather than inside the bathroom. The round, raised jacuzzi in Suite Depandance 156 and the jetted tub in Suite 354 both face the sea directly, with Polignano's stacked limestone houses visible along the cliffs to one side. Guests rate the hotel 9.0 out of 10, which, for a property this well known, suggests it's genuinely delivering.

Questions, answered
Is the jacuzzi inside the room or outside?+
It's on a private outdoor terrace, not inside the bathroom. The photos show a round tub set on a raised platform with a direct sea view and a glass or rail balustrade between you and the drop.
Which suite should I book for the jacuzzi terrace?+
Two options have the feature: Suite Depandance 156 (listed with a jacuzzi) and Suite 354 (listed with a jetted tub). It's worth confirming the exact terrace configuration with the hotel when you book, as the two rooms appear to differ slightly in layout.
Which area of Polignano a Mare gives the best views from an in-room tub?+
The old town centro storico is your best bet. Properties perched above or cut into the cliffs, like Grotta Palazzese, put the sea almost within arm's reach, so the soak and the scenery arrive together.
What's the price range for a suite with a private tub here, and is there a quieter time to visit?+
Nightly rates across our listings run from around €98 to €1,177, with the lower end more achievable in spring (April to May) and early autumn (September to October), when the crowds thin out and the light is still warm.
