This is a beautiful apartment with all that you could want for. It was spotlessly clean. The roof terrace is a fabulous space.
Great location with just a short walk - less than 10 minutes at a slow pace given the heat - to the old town where you will find a large number of very good restaurants and bars. A further 5 mins walk through old town to the small beach.
Good Spar supermarket only around 400 yards away. Less than 10 min walk to railway station for day trips away from Monopoli. Italian trains are very good and very cheap to use.
On the negative side.
There are 39 steep steps to the 2nd floor apartment. Not a problem for most people but you should know this before booking in case this would present an issue for you.
We also had a major problem as the air conditioning wasn’t working. We were informed of this at check in and that an engineer was coming the following day. The engineer did come but we were then told that the repair couldn’t be completed this week. Given that the daily temperature exceeded 33 degrees and it was around 29 degrees at 11pm each day this made it very uncomfortable to sleep. The provided fans were welcome but not a sufficient replacement for air con. We were unable to sleep well all week and this badly affected our stay. It was disappointing that some form of rebate was not offered given that the owners costs were much reduced this week.
