Wow, what a spacious apartment!
This apartment is located just a few steps away from the old town, above a cute local fruit and veggie corner store, and super close to a trendy local cocktail bar (Alchemico Bar e Cose) ‘somewhat’ away from the old town tourist traps. We love how it is less than a 5 minute walk from the first beach, and we definitely took advantage. Perfect for remote working, too, with a lovely balcony that overlooked the piazza. When there is a gas stove in your apartment and numerous food stores near by, we made some homemade meals with local produce and ate them at the balcony. It was dreamy.
Now… because we visited in mid-July, which was some of the hottest days in Monopoli, we were sweating a lot while sleeping night as there was no AC. The fan on the ceiling was ok… Because of the cocktail bar near by, the streets were filled with rowdy young adults and roaring motorcycle engines every night, which only quiet down around 2am. So, if you open the windows for ventilation, you will hear all the loud noises outside. If you close the windows you will overheat in your sleep and still hear noise…
BUT!! Overall, a lovely stay. Perfect for night owls and youngsters who wants embrace the nightlife, but not so much for families or people who likes to go to bed early.
Thank you for a wonderful stay and for a lovely Monopoli experience.
