We are surprised that Orazio33's rating is only 4.2/5. I stayed here with 2 other friends in the "Suite with spa bath". Overall, our experience was super positive and we would definitely stay here again.
Pros:
- Unbeatable location: being in the historic center of Monopoli makes all the difference for the “vibe of the trip”. The place is really close to all the best restaurants, the port, and churches. The metro station is a 20-minute walk, but access is also easy.
- Cleanliness: the apartment, all common areas, and bed linens are clean.
- Quietness: this was the most positive point. Unlike some reviews mentioned here, even facing the main street, the apartment is completely silent due to the windows that totally isolate the sound. We slept well every night and did not hear noise from other rooms.
- Decoration: the decoration is beautiful, even better than in the photos, which makes our experience much more charming.
- Check-in and access to the building/room: access is done with a code on all doors, which greatly increases convenience.
- Breakfast: breakfast operates through a voucher system, which entitles you to a coffee, an orange juice, and any other item from the menu at a café located below the B&B. We loved eating there every day and found the options much superior to the typical cornetto with coffee of the Italian breakfast.
- Shared terrace: the B&B has a beautiful terrace with a view of the sea and the city.
- General: both the main bed and the sofa bed are large and reasonably comfortable. The air conditioning and hairdryer also work well and the room has several available outlets. There is a safe available in the room and coffee and drinkable water in the shared kitchen.
Cons:
- Shower: there is no holder for the shower hose, which means you have to hold it while showering. It also ends up leaving the bathroom quite wet as there is no shower curtain.
