Casa Maristella is a beautiful place to stay in the lovely seaside village of Monopoli. My husband and I spent 2 nights while on a self-supported bicycle tour. We absolutely loved it and were sad to leave. It is recently remodeled and beautifully done. It is immaculate as well. Melanie was a gracious host and even brought as a yummy cake as a welcoming gift. We hope to return some day. If you book this home you won't be disappointed. Monopoli is a great village to explore. The food is also fantastic at the local restaurants.
