We wholeheartedly recommend Mariarosaria's Papavero apartment. We thoroughly enjoyed the functional room arrangement, the classical and tasteful decoration and the location - just a ten-minute walk from the old part of town. Given the central location, it's extraordinarily quiet (just disregard the quick 8 AM ringing of the nearby churchbells). The view from the rooftop terrace overlooking the old town, the cathedral and the sea is stunning. Check-in and check-out was a breeze and Mariarosaria's husband Guido was extremely friendly and helpful. Monopoli is a charming little town, definitely worth a visit.
