The apartment is in a perfect location. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Walking distance to the old town, town beach and the multiple magnificent coves of aqua blue water. Palma & Mino were great hosts and saved us a parking spot when we arrived after dark. If you are not used to looking for parking in a city, you may end up paying for it- but its very cheap... but coming from NYC- it was no problem to circle the blocks a few times and we always found a free parking spot within 5 minutes. Monopoli is a great town to base yourself in to discover Puglia. And Palma's apartment with the charming little patio outside the kitchen and giant roof deck was just great. I cannot say enough good things about staying there. The cafe "Mono" down the block is fantastic and everything you need is just around the corner- but you are outside of the touristic chaos that can be the old-town. Perfect place. Wonderful time. Would 100% stay there again!
