We came here for a week of relaxation and it was just that! We've been to Puglia several times before and Monopoli was a great gem. The apartment is in a perfect location on the historic port. Spotless, beautiful, bright. Just the right size for the two of us. Bonus: The rooftop terrace is spectacular.
Since it's right in town there's some noise, but it's totally not a big deal.
Some of our favourite spots around town:
The King Pizzeria. Literally less than a minute walk from the apartment. We'd often pick up pizza to go from their side entrance. (Bufalina!)
Cafe Del Porto. Just around the corner. We started each morning with perfect macciati! Also, if there's a fresh cake (ciambella) we highly suggest it.
The morning market. It's tiny but wonderful. One big fruit/veg stand and a nut/grain vendor. It's every morning except Sundays and Tuesdays and located near Largo Fontanelle. 10 minute walk and well worth it.
Titti Formaggi. This shop is a minute away. We'd get eggs, fresh bread, cheese (burrata! pecorino!) and other odds and ends for cooking every day. Fabulous little spot, friendly and affordable.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely return. :)
