Without hesitation I can honestly say my stay with Imma in Monopoli has been my best ever experience when staying in someone’s home. Imma is a super host, a super friendly person and a super cook. Imma made me feel welcome from the time I arrived to the time I left. The apartment was spotless and Imma prepared meals for me and introduced me to Puglia cuisine (food to die for) her friends and even arranged meals (pizza party) with her friends up in the roof garden and in local fish and meat restaurants. Imma speaks good English and is keen to learn more and likes to get to know you. Imma also has many friend which does not surprise me who speak English and want to meet you.
I was really made to feel part of Imma’s extended family and was welcomed into other homes, invited out to local pubs, night clubs and shown around Monopoli by some of Imma’s friends.
In Imma I now have a friend for life and many more friends in Monopoli who I will come back and see one day.
Monopoli is unspoiled by tourists at the moment and is a great insight into Puglia and Italian lifestyles. Monopoli is very easy to reach from Bari airport (train to Bari Central and then a train to Monopoli allow about 1.5 hours depending on connections)
Overall I had the best holiday, the best host and the best of times. I cannot recommend Imma’s B&B high enough to anyone thinking of visiting Monopoli, you will not be disappointed and the memories will stay with you forever.
