Charming, historic house, two steps from beach and port
We loved this house and felt very at home here. It is old fashioned and homely with interesting pictures and sculptures and some unusual antiques. Everything functioned well and the beds were comfortable. The roof terrace was lovely. Marco, the host, is delightful and very helpful.

Week stay in Monopoli
Location was ideal,and was close to all amenities. Marco sorted out the European plug situation. Also when the shower connection broke,sent a plumber within half an hour.Terrace was lovely, but with steep steps maybe difficult for the elderly or very young children.Lovely place to stay, Marco was a brilliant host, and even gave us a lift to the station,on a Thursday late at night to get our train to the airport.

Chic home near the sea! Didn't want to leave.
The home is in an amazing location in the old town, walking distance to great bars, restaurants and the seaside. The rooftop was our favourite place to enjoy lunches and evening drinks. The home is beautifully decorated and the art in the house is fabulous. The beds were comfortable. If we return to Monopoli, we will definitely stay here again!

May 2023 Monopoli
We're 4 ladies from Tennessee, who rotated in 2's and 3's staying in Marco's 3 story home in Monopoli. We walked cliff lines, swam in the Adriatic, found train routes, met fishermen, toured cities, an Olive tree farm & 2 Unesco Heritage sites; all on foot. Old town was both central and convenient as a location. Marco was easy to communicate with by text. We had no problems- though we did find the washer challenging. We took the train to Lecce, Polignano a Mare, Bari, Mola di Bari, Ostuni & Brindisi, or enjoyed a beach day in Monopoli. It was no trouble to hire a car to Alberobello & an Olive tree farm. Matera was an all day train trip, but well worth it. There was no better end to the day, than getting back to our lovely 3 story, Old Town base. We would count the stairs to encourage us, up to enjoy the rooftop terrace, looking out along the coastline and sea. Thank you Marco- we had a great time- miss a -

Not what we had hoped for
Although we were aware from previous reviews that the house was on several levels we were not aware of quite how many levels and how very steep the steps were, it really felt a bit like mountain climbing. However, our main disappointment with the property was that there was nowhere to relax for a family of 4 as on the first floor where sitting room-kitchen is situated there was only a sofa for 2 and dining table with not terribly comfortable chairs. On the top floor where the terrace is situated again only dining table with chairs and no sofas or anything comfortable to sit on. Last but not least we had requested for the downstairs bedroom and extra bathroom to be opened so that our adult kids could have a bedroom each unfortunately there was no toilet seat on this loo, which considering that the owner charges extra for more persons was very disappointing. All in all the property did not feel looked after with several items not working properly. On a plus point the location was perfect.

Great vacation
Everything was perfect. We enjoyed that very much. I would like to point out, that the apartment has 3 floors and steep stairs so for people with limited mobility it is not a great choice. True is that is apartment has a real charm.

Wir fanden ein sehr schönes und gepflegtes Haus in bester Lage vor - mit liebevollen Details und interessanten Kunstwerken. Die Dachterrasse ist charmant mit bezauberndem Panorama. Marco ist ein sehr guter Gastgeber und hat uns noch spät abgeholt als unser Zug eine Panne hatte. Ich empfehle diese Wohnung sehr für einen Aufenthalt in Monopoli (und ja - die Treppen sind steil...)

Le logement était très bien. Situé dans le centre historique et piéton . Tout est accessible à pieds. Plage,boutiques,bars,restaurants,pubs,glaciers.... Concerts de rues réguliers. Zone touristique et bruyante mais cela fait partie du jeu. La terrasse est superbe pour des fins de soirées au frais. Je conseille vivement . Le stationnement du véhicule est à faire à la sortie de la zone piétonne mais on peut pas tout avoir. La zone idéalement située permet de tout faire sans avoir recours à la voiture durant le séjour.

Perfekte Lage (zentral, ruhig, Meeresblick), Strände und Stadt fußläufig erreichbar!
Dieses Haus ist ein schmales Eckhaus mitten in der Altstadt von Monopoli, aber dennoch ruhig gelegen. Der Stadtstrand ist drei Gehminuten entfernt. Wunderschöne kleine Buchten sind in 20 Minuten fußläufig südlich von Monopoli zu erreichen. Die Altstadt ist lebhaft, aber ohne Trubel (Ostersaison). Es gibt einen kleinen Hafen, alles sehr malerisch. Die Stadt ist auch außerhalb der Altstadt eine liebenswerte Stadt mittlerer Größe, sehr angenehm. Restaurants in unmittelbarer Nähe. Sehr zuverlässiger und hilfsbereiter Vermieter. Haus erstreckt sich über vier Etagen. Kleine Einliegerwohnung im EG, dann Wohnzimmer mit Küche im 1. OG, zwei Schlafzimmer im 2.OG und schließlich als Highlight eine niedliche Dachterasse mit Meerblick, Esstisch, Liegestuhl und Wäscheständer. Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet und sauber, Fotos entsprechen der Realität. Für die Nebensaison (da hatte ich etwas Sorge, denn es war kühl): gute Heizung. Wir waren als Familie zu viert da und es hat an nichts gefehlt. Auch zu fünft oder sechst würde gehen dank der Einliegerwohnung mit Dusche im EG. Ausflugsziele (Polignano, Ostuni, Bari etc.) gut mit dem Zug zu erreichen. Wir hatten Abreisekomplikationen, die nichts zur Sache tun, der Vermieter war prompt und immer erreichbar und hat uns sehr geholfen.
