    A lovely spacious room , we arrived early and check in was no problem , great communication with the owner . The B&B is within the old city so you are within 10 minutes stroll of everything . The rooftop area is just amazing and really adds to your stay . 10/10

    The entire experience was fantastic- there was nothing i did not like.

    Fantastic host who met me for check in , they gave me all the privacy and were ready if i chose to ask any questions or make any requests, the house was unbelievably well located- directly next to the most beautiful cathedral in all of monopoli which i had no idea about until i arrived and saw the stunning beauty. The roof terrace has 360 degree views of ALL of monopoli and is a stone throw from the sea front ! This is a must stay location and i can’t wait to come back again ! 5 stars from me - thank you so much !

    The bathroom was quite dated and the shower base filled up with water quickly and took a long time to drain. This meant a wait for my husband to be able to shower. We are very pleased we were on the first floor as the stairs up are extremely steep and narrow, think we would have struggled with our luggage.

    Good size room, comfy bed. Very clean. Nice to have a fridge in the room. Valeria was lovely let us in early and explained that vouchers were used at a local cafe for breakfast. It was is a very good location. We were able to borrow a beach umbrella which was great as very hot. The roof terrace was lovely and peaceful just quite high to get to!

    Located in the middle of the historic centre, the apartment, and especially the rooftop terrace is a hidden gem, we absolutely loved it. The hostess Valeria was super flexible with our check in, although we arrived close to midnight. We also liked the breakfast options.

    I would have to be really nit-picky or over critical to say any thing negative about my stay. In an effort to be constructively critical, the shower stall is a bit tight for the space the bathroom affords and offers no storage. for sundries ( soap, shampoo, etc.). The timing of the lights that go off automatically in the stairwell seem too short for the time it takes to ascend and/ or descend from the 4th floor. Again minor details in the bigger picture.

    Monopoli, the B&B and the Apulia region at-large where extremely welcoming with wonderful hospitality. This B&B is a medieval watchtower so please expect a ton of steep and narrow stairwells if you are booked in an upper room. If you read the reviews and the complaints about the stairs (which I found absurd and void of any understanding about the structure) then take notice before booking. The views alone were worth the climb. The 4th floor room and the balcony view filled my heart and soul. And the lovely Val, the service manager was an angel. My sincere gratitude to all. Monopoli stole my heart and I hope to revisit sooner than later.

    Nicest roof top terrace we’ve ever stayed in. Definitely the nicest in Monopoli - panoramic views of the sea and get sun until very late as it sets over the churches in the west of Monopoli. The room was very large and the bathroom was nice and clean. the hostel is located superbly well, in the old town and thirty seconds from the bars and restaurants. Margherita provides breakfast tokens for both days - offering coffee and croissants. Our cafe was closed on the first day, so to make it up to us, Margherita bought us a bottle of wine. We weren’t annoyed at all about the breakfast but this shows the excellent level of hospitality on offer. Hopefully we will return to Monopoli and we will definitely stay here if possible.

    The hosts were delightful, accommodating and very helpful. Communication was easy and prompt. They met us at the nearby Piazza and even helped us in with our luggage. The location is perfect in the old town and very quiet. We loved being near the cathedral square. It was an easy landmark and meeting place. The rooftop view was a great place to gather for evenings and mornings and the sunsets are beautiful from there. The rooms are large and comfortable. We are a family who were in Monopoli for a wedding and we were all staying at La Torre. It suited us perfectly. The steps are a little daunting the further up you go, but doable. We sent the younger ones to the top floors and stayed on the lower level, but still made trips to the rooftop, albeit slowly. Thank you to our wonderful hosts! Someday we hope to be back!

    We stayed in the apartment at the top of the stairs which is very narrow and steep because it is a historic building so you would need to be relatively fit! The shower is a bit small but that's about it, mostly only great things to say!

    Everything else! The terrace at the top of the building has a great view and is a lovely space to chill with a beer or a glass of wine. It is very clean and spacious with air conditioning and a fridge. Annarita and Nico were perfect hosts and always available to help. Nico met us at the edge of the old town when the taxi dropped us off and brought us to the apartment. Perfect location in a beautiful town. Would definitely stay here again.

    Great host. Great place. If you would like to feel the Souther Italy vibe this is the place. The house is with tiny stairs, high ceilings, artistic and we phenomenal roof top terrace with breathtaking 360 viee. Next to the cathedral, just minutes from the beach and restaurants, still very calm and tranquile.

    The room is described as superior, it is certainly not. The bed was not very comfortable, in fact the 2 mattresses in a double bed had a different height. The beautiful view you see in the pictures is from a commonly used roof top terrace that you have to climb to, the view out of the rooms is a wall (house across the narrow street). The mirror in the bathroom is way to low, if you don’t like seeing your face, you’d love it. Despite the fact that the room was cleaned well, details like the deeply yellow color on the bottom of the basically white shower curtain made us feel uncomfortable.

    The location is exceptional. It is a nice touch that you get a classic Italian breakfast (caffe and cornetto) at a nearby bar. The room is really big and offers enough space.
