The apartment is beautiful - ideally located less than a minute from the beach, which is ideal for swimming (very safe), as well as being surrounded by great restaurants and within walking distance of all the sights. It had everything we could need for a lovely stay. There was even a complimentary bottle of wine for us to enjoy on arrival!

We had some slight difficulty finding the reception upon arrival - it turns out the agency "Albergo Diffuso" who rent the accommodation provide a free taxi from the train station which we were unaware of, so make sure you phone them upon arrival and things should go much smoother.

Other than this small mix up we have no complaints! The girls in reception were very helpful, providing lots of information about the local area and a map of the local beaches. They even organised transport for us to go visit the beautiful nearby caves, Grotte Di Castellana. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to return to Monopoli!
