Polignano a Mare

Just a short drive from the villa, Polignano a Mare invites you to explore cliff-side terraces, narrow streets tumbling toward the sea, and a tiny pebble beach tucked beneath an ancient Roman bridge.

Known as the birthplace of Domenico Modugno — whose song Volare still hums through the air on warm evenings — this cliff-top town has become an adrenaline-filled showpiece for the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, where elite divers launch from 26–28 metres above the Adriatic in one of the world’s most spectacular arenas.

As the sun dips low, take a seat at one of the seaside cafés and enjoy an aperitivo overlooking the crystalline water — a perfect blend of thrill, beauty and Italian serenity.
