Very good location for the beach and the train station, so it was very easy to be dependant on public transport for day trips. The town of Monopoli is lively and very charming. The house was very central but on a quiet street so we were not disturbed at night by revellers. The nearest beaches were a bit crowded but if you are willing to walk a bit further away from the town, it was more peaceful.
The house had everything needed for cooking and home dining and the upstairs terrace was great for relaxing. We felt that we were in the heart of old Italy. Vincenzo was very helpful and obliging.
