    Being with a toddler, it was a little difficult with all the stairs. Kitchen on the ground floor, bathroom and toilet on the 1st floor, bedrooms -2nd and 3rd floor

    The location is excellent. The apartment is stylish and well furnished. the rooftop terrace is one of a kind.

    Although it was not an issue for any of us, I would not recommend this apartment for anyone who has mobility issues.

    The apartment is very well located, close to many restaurants, tourist spots and the beach. Very quiet during the night. Everything needed was provided. Fabiana is a great host who was always available to answer any questions.

    Very nice place in a perfect spot very close to the beach and center of Monopoli. Everything very clean. We stayed with our two girls 5 & 7 years. They slept in one double room on 1st floor, parents slept on 2nd floor. Aircon in both rooms worked well and very silent. For us it was perfect that way to stay as a family. And the highlight is the roof top terrace, the effort to walk up the stairs is really worth it. The owner Fabiana is a very nice person and really helpful with lots of tips and recommendations. Great communication via whats app. Thank you so much to make our trip to beautiful Monopoli unforgetable.

    Fabiana the host was amazing! Location of the house is fantastic, 30 seconds to the beach. House is cute, the roof is really the winning feature. A lot of steep steps in the house so a bonus workout every time you went upstairs!

    Mind your head on steep stairs :) The bells in churches ring quite often. It was our pleasure to stay here.

    The host Fabiana is super nice lady. Her holiday house is in the heart of historic Monopoli and is there everything you would need for a short stay. She is ready to help you with whatever you would need.

    Just be aware, that there gonna be a lot of steep stairwalking :) And be careful, because very low ceiling might cost you some bruises.

    Great Place, very helful owners - they even secured free parking spot for us. Place has unideniable charm, well equiped and furnished with style matching 19th century building. Great private terrace, 2 minutes walk to the beach.

    The stairs are steep although for us it was not a problem. While we were there some building works were going on across the road, although this was temporary and is limited in the tourist season.

    Fabiana was an excellent host. Anything we needed was dealt with very quickly. The location is in the old town very close to the beaches, shops, cafes and restaurants. You have your very own medieval contemporary house with multiple floor. The roof terrace was excellent for meals and the stairs between rooms keeps you fit. The train station was not too far and it was easy to get there to catch trains to other places to visit. The nearby Cafe Roma is great place for coffee. The house has everything you need to be self catering. Amazing place. Thanks for a great holiday.

    The location was amazing. A 2 minute walk to the beach and central to the old town. The roof terrace was amazing. Loved having our cup of tea up there and doing some Qigong in the mornings. Quite the suntrap even though it was February and still chilly. The host was lovely and welcoming. There were supplies to have breakfast which was a nice touch. It's a beautifully maintained traditional home - however if you have very young children or any mobility issues the stairs would be difficult. Thank you for a lovely time!

    Great location in the historical center next to majestic cathedral, close to many shops and restaurants and very close to city beach for an easily reachable swim. Parking (private or public) available also very close to the house. Exceptionally helpful owner offering assistance with anything.

    Apartment is in the historical centre - you can enjoy view at belltowers churches on the roof sitting while drinking wine and eating mozzarella in the evening. The beach is 30 meters away, so you can walk in the swimwear there. Apartment is interesting how it's build - each room is on different floor so if you have problems with stairs maybe you won't like this accommodation but for short term holiday it's perfect. Owner Fabiana was really friendly, kind and helpful. She drove us to train station, answered all our 'traveling questions', moreover organized Ang.testing for our kids what we needed for leaving the country.
