We loved our stay in Monopoli, we had no expactations since there was no info at the Lonely Planet about Monopoli. We were very surprised by the beauty of the old town. The appartment is great with a lot of space. It's just a 5 minutes walk to the old town. Lara and Giacomo were great hosts who speaks perfect English and they even bought us some breakfast for the next day. The communication before the trip was also good. Tip: try the store of the hosts, we tasted some amazing wine!
