Cute apartment near the historic center. it’s all white and bright inside, with two sets of french doors that open onto a quiet, tree lined street. It was a pleasure to meet Lara upon check in. She shared the highlights of Monopoli with tips about nearby restaurants and beaches. She happily answered our other questions too. She also provided us with milk, coffee and croissants for our stay, which i think is a really nice, thoughtful touch. We also visited her husband at his wine bar near the old port and he treated us to a glass of delicious local wine. Monopoli is a charming town and perfect for a short stay, or longer if the weather is nice and you can visit the many beautiful local beaches. Lara also told me that the area of Apulia has many quaint little towns like Monopoli so if you plan to visit those from here this is a good place to come home to each night. If you choose to do that, you should rent a car. Otherwise, several beaches and the historic center are easily reached on foot. Nice people, cute apartment. Overall recommend :)
