Highly recommend for your stay in Monopoli. The apartment is absolutely gorgeous, clean an comfortable. We stayed here with 3 children (including 1 infant) and there were comfortable beds as well as a pack n play crib for the baby. It has fun and unique decor, a perfect location and everything you need. Gioia met us at the free parking just on the edge of the historic center because you can't drive in with your car. She brought our luggage to the apartment. She is very friendly and gave us many helpful tips for restaurants and places the go. Super hospitality. There is also a lovely terrace on top of the building with a sea view that is just for the people staying in this apartment. However, we didn't really use it ourselves because it was separate from the apartment and that was not so easy with the baby. I'm sure it would be an amazing place to hang out up there though.
