Monopoli is our latest new find where we still hope to return. Beautiful old town, cozy, authentic with warm and friendly people and right by the sea. Lucia is in a word fantastic, top in hospitality in the natural and understated way. Even before we left for Puglia she asked if we needed transport or anything else, in Monopoli we were warmly received (even on a board it said welcome in Dutch) in spotless apartment and she asked us daily if we needed anything and gave great tips. After returning home we received a message whether we had come home well, you can't wish for any better.
Apartment is in a perfect location in the heart of the city and all the atmosphere, you have well equipped kitchen, separate bedroom with good bed, small bathroom and nice room with air conditioning, sofa and dining table for 4 people. On the shared roof terrace you can stay very private during the day and evening with a delicious glass of Puglia wine (for sale 10 meters from the apartment in a store with local products - highly recommended). The shared terrace was new to us, but it was also great because we met two wonderful people who we hope to see again!
