We had a great stay at Villa Donna Franca in August. The pool and outdoor patio are great for relaxing at home. It was a short walk to the grocery store, pizzeria and about 10 minutes to walk into the old town of Monopoli. It was nice to have parking for our rental car also as we drove to many different places in Puglia like the beach, Lecce, Alberobello and Matera. Everything was wonderful!
