The apartment is one of three in the building, Roberto and Brenda living in one and renting out the other two.
It was clean, prepared and really well located, only a 5 minute walk from the start of the old town. Parking was free on the street, providing you park within the white lines only.
The terrace space was delightful, offering roofscape views over Monopoli, fitted with a BBQ area, loungers, dining tables and a shaded area to escape the midday sun. It was a greta place to start the evening. Note the terrace is shared with all three apartments in the building.
Roberto and Brenda were very good hosts. Upon arrival they greeted us warmly, provided a welcome basket of soft drinks and breakfast snacks and took us to the shared roof terrace to enjoy a limoncello produced on Roberto's family farm. It was delicious. They further offered some great advice on what to do in Monopoli and local insight into the better restaurants to visit. We were provided with face, hand and body towels and shower gel and the wifi in the property worked well.
The property rented was listed as a two bedroom apartment and the pictures seem to show two separate bedrooms. This is not the case however, with one of the bedrooms being a middle room, around which you access all the other rooms including the entrance to the apartment. As two couples this was a little annoying particularly as it was never brought to our attention, having stated from the outset that we were two couples travelling together. If we had known we would have booked elsewhere. Saying that, for us this was the only issue and was only due to the circumstances of our group. Had we have been one couple, this would have been a fantastic place to stay and one I would wholly recommend.
