MariaRosaria is a spectacular host and I can't recommend this apartment highly enough. It is a dreamy little home - very stylish but holding onto the tradition of the building - and the location is superb. Just a few minutes from everything in the heart of a boisterous, amusing and very welcoming Italian community. A few streets from the beach, bakery, cheese shop, everything you need. MariaRosaria had some tortellini waiting for us when we arrived late - she is very lovely and friendly. Always there if we needed. Monopoli is perfect for a few down days, great food, great swims, and easy to pop around by train. I'll be back!
