Martino's apartment is even better than it looks in the photos, everything has been renovated to the highest standard, is sparkling new and everything works perfectly. The location is great a few blocks stroll through a typical and interesting bustling town to the fascinating and extensive old town and small but wonderful town beaches. Martino was a delightful host from greeting us at the station (despite train being an hour late!), driving us around so we could get our bearings, walking us through a very useful map that he had marked with key points of interest, occasional texts to check all was ok, to picking us up on our last morning to run us to the start of our next journey. A lovely week for us to get the feel of what it would be like to live in beautiful Monopoli.
