We had a lovely warm welcome from Grazio and Lucia and were shown everything in the place. The apartment is small but lovely and has everything that you need. Great for two or three people. It was very clean and my bed, the double one, was very comfortable. Although it opens out onto the pavement and road there was no noise whatsoever at night as the walls are so thick and so it was very quiet for sleeping.
There were no church bells that woke us up either. Lucia was available at any time to message should you need to. Monopoli is a very nice relaxing little town and also handy to Polignano a Mare which we travelled to by train one day. Only takes 8 minutes. There is a sandy beach only about 5 minutes walk away from the apartment and a really nice more open sandy beach about 15 minutes walk away. There was a small supermarket around the corner. We enjoyed our time here and in Lucia’s place.
