Locanda Don Ferrante

Our two night stay in the Carlos V suite was simply amazing! |Loved everything about the suite, loved the water views from our balcony, loved the breeze. I loved the amazing shower options and huge bathroom. |We enjoyed our little terrance on the top floor very private.|We loved that our suite was away from the main hotel, it was only a short walk along a beautiful waterfront.|Breakfast was in the main hotel - good coffee and a nice selection of both hot and cold dishes from a buffet.|We enjoyed drinks at the rooftop bar - beautiful water views. |We would highly recommend Don Ferrante and would love to spend more time in Monopoli, definitely a highlight of our time in Puglia.|Thank you to the helpful staff who helped us navigate the streets to arrive to the hotel, we were so lost and they rescued us. Tip: have the hotels WhatsApp number in your phone prior to arrival.

The gorgeous pictures online of this hotel make you dream of an exclusive hotel. It is like a puzzle with small staircases to connect each space. The suites probably are amazing. As a single traveler I booked a single room. The view was amazing but the room very small. The floor of the shower looked like a hundred years old, which I didn't like at all. The breakfast was really nice. The location was perfect . The Cathedral of Maria Santissima della Madia is nearby and stunning! When booking this hotel inform the people at the reception with time of arrival so a golf cart can pick you up. No cars are allowed in the Center, even not taxis.

What a lovely setting and helpful staff! We stayed here several nights, enjoying their rooftop restaurant which offered an excellent menu and gracious service, in addition to their bar/lounge setting as well. Their small garden and pool overlooked the sea, and the rooms were spacious and comfortable.

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel for four nights, and it was truly the best experience we’ve had so far in Italy. The room was spacious and beautifully designed, and the location couldn’t be more perfect. The view from the viewpoint is absolutely breathtaking. The restaurant exceeded our expectations, the quality of the food was outstanding, and every meal was worth its price. What really made our stay unforgettable was the staff. From the reception to the restaurant team, everyone was exceptionally kind, professional, and genuinely welcoming. We travel often, and this is by far the most romantic hotel we’ve ever stayed in, one of our best experiences yet. If you’re in the area, I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel.

Nice property....not five star. It seems most of the complaints are about rooms and their location. If you decide to select this hotel, choose your hotel room carefully. We had the small room in the main building...the sea view was fabulous BUT it was impossible for 2 people to comfortably move around. Also, the restaurant was right above our room with the stairway adjacent, with the noise penetrating our room and lacking a sense of privacy. The pool area is lovely, but the pool is not heated and seating is limited...we were unable to sit around pool with 2 other couples present. Breakfast was good and the drivers (golf cart) who bring you back & forth to car outside city center are polite and helpful.

We have stayed at waterfront hotels in the past, and this is one of the nicest we have experienced. |We had the Don Ferrante suite, which has an oceanfront view from the veranda. Beautiful views! Very large and comfortable. The one downside to this room is it is directly below the rooftop restaurant where there is a lot of noise.|The hotel is in a great location in Monopoli, with easy walking to everything the town offers.|The staff was friendly and helpful with arranging tours, etc.|The pool area is rooftop and small, but the ocean is so close it didn't matter.|We experienced a very nice stay.

I stopped by for a cocktail on the rooftop. Stylish, yet cozy cushion seating areas, as well. Beautiful view of the water without the crowds. Was recommended the bergamotta spritz by a lovely gentleman, which was refreshing in the heat. He served a side of olives and taralli complimentary. Would definitely come again.

This place feels like heaven on earth ! We stayed with our son in Suite Madia, which was very comfortable, very clean, a lovely suite with a rooftop terrace and lovely views ! The service was overall impeccable, always with a smile, how it should be, wonderful service. Both breakfast and the lovely dinner we had on the terrace were TOP ! The only regret we had is that we only stayed for 1 night but we can't wait to return to Don Ferrante next year.
