Everything was beyond perfect. Mauro helped us a lot with everything, special thanks to him. The villa is just amazing, there is a huge garden also.

You do really need a car to get out and about from this property. Once you enter the grounds it's very peaceful but it's approached from quite a busy road and walking along it to get to the one nearby pizzeria or into Monopoli (a 30-40 minute walk away) is quite challenging!

We have just returned from a fabulous week long stay at Villa Al Mare. The pictures just don't do this beautiful property justice! The grounds are stunning and we enjoyed the many quiet shady spots amongst the fruits trees to escape the heat. The pool area is lovely and we very often found we had it to ourselves. The property is immaculately maintained and the rooms are modern, well equipped and spacious. Delicious breakfasts are served, with lots of variety. The staff team, led by Mauro the manager, are kind, attentive and could not do enough to help. We were very sad to leave and thoroughly recommend.

Nothing to complain about

Location was a short easy drive into Monopoli with plenty of nice beaches nearby. Rooms are modern, impeccably clean and tastefully designed.

Beautiful, tranquil space! Everything was extremely comfortable and well maintained. The property was stunning. The staff were so helpful and kind. Easy to get into Monopoli to explore and for meals, or to local beaches.

Nothing - everything was perfect

We had a great stay at Villa al Mare. The staff and manager were friendly, caring and always available. The place was lovely and actually exceeded our expectations: the garden is splendid, the pool area is beautiful, breakfast was fresh and varied, the property’s location is exceptional and only 4 min away from Monopoli (by car), which was really practical. Strongly recommend!

You need a car. Even though in walking distance to city center the route to there was not really good for walking in the evenings when dark. Quite isolated - only staff during the mornings. Not really sure why it is called spa and wellness.

Very nice host. The rooms are comfortable, the surroundings nice and the breakfast ok. Good distance to the city center and the beach. The host is extremely helpful.

In the family suite will be useful a laundry room or access to a laundry room for long stays.

Villa al Mare is a wonderful place to stay near Monopoli. Confortable room. Friendly staff very resourceful always helpful and providing great dining recommendations. Italian breakfast is available every morning. The pool was very enjoyable in the afternoon when coming back from the beach club and also a pleasant jacuzzi in our family suite and terrace to enjoy the sunset. We loved the location and beach clubs nearby. We will definitively come back.

The property was beautiful inside and out - the outdoor area had various shady, relaxing areas and amazing outdoor kitchen facilities - having spent the morning relaxing by the gorgeous pool, we would then all have lunch together, plenty of seating for our group - it almost felt like your own villa The breakfast was first class, many variations daily, exciting to see what was coming next And last but not least - the staff were exceptional, friendly, helpful, couldn’t do enough for you - top class holiday spot - 100% recommend

The rooms are not super soundproofing on the ground floor

The location is great, close to the town and close to the seaside. Peaceful and clean. The landlord, Mauro, is really kind and he gave us many suggestions.

The villa is beautiful with a great pool! It’s a short drive into monopoli and to nearby beaches

The bauhaus architecture was beautiful! Stunning building. All renovated and clean. Mauro was super friendly and helpful. The location is right near the beach, where there are some nice beach clubs. Comfortable beds and private balcony. Only a 10 minute drive into the city. It’s nice and quiet, away from the busy city centre. A car is best suited if you are staying at this hotel, free parking too. The pool was lovely and clean. The Italian breakfast was delicious! We loved the fresh pastry’s, fruit, egg and coffee each morning. We were sad to leave. This was our favourite accommodation in Monopoli.

Nothing, everything was spot on.

Excellent.Good choice of food and juices. Having breakfast on the veranda was pleasant in the cooler mornings

For those who like to wear non creased clothing, there was no iron but this is a very minor point.

We were very lucky as the other guests did not use the facilities so it felt like we had a villa to ourselves. The outside kitchen and seating areas were great for lunches in the garden. The grounds and villa areas were kept meticulously clean. The main veranda was a lovely area for relaxing. There was a very reasonable (in terms of price) pizzeria nearby and supermarkets to stock up on food and drink and eating at the villa is a very pleasant experience. The centre of Monopoly was only about a 30 minute walk. The team at Villa Al Mare were all excellent and couldn't do enough to make our stay memorable and enjoyable. Hats off to the team at the Villa!! If you want space and beautiful surroundings, this is the place for you.

Could potentially offer a kitchen space for making lunch / dinner

We had a wonderful stay at the villa al mare. It was set in a great location with stunning grounds and pool. Our villa host Mauro made our stay exceptional, he gave us fantastic recommendations and even gave us lifts into the centre. Angela was also great and her breakfast was delicious. An added bonus was the fresh fruit that you can pick & eat direct from the trees on the villa grounds. We can’t wait to come back and would recommend to anyone staying in Monopoli. :)

The stay exceeds all expectations in reality. The photos on the website are actually inferior to how beautiful it really is. The host is very helpful and friendly. Absolutely recommended!

Calm relaxing away from the busy town but near enough to visit often

Stayed in July 2023

Mauro, the manager, is the perfect helpful host and went above and beyond to assist with recommendations and indeed some lifts. Angela keeps the place immaculate and produces a traditional Italian breakfast of quality. The gardener nurtures an expansive outdoor space with array of fruit trees and colourful flowering shrubs providing many areas of seating for sun and shade within the private grounds. The beautiful pool plus the tennis court were used on a daily basis.

typical Italian breakfast, could be improved. *Its not something I didn’t like but it’s just a fact - better to have a car, although it’s not impossible to do it without :) also if you have some anxieties with being alone in big facility surrounded with big olive orchard make sure if there are other guest, no staff\reception at the place, so at night I felt a bit insecure (although there are cameras all over the place and a fence, so as I said, just a feeling )

amazing place!!! designed in such a details, clean and tidy, nice nature all around yet 10 minutes walking to seaside, 40 minutes to city. They have bicycles for rent, and pool is just lovely. contact with manager is smooth, Mauro was so extremely kind and helpful in so many things! I would definitely come there again !

No,it was all good.

Considering the weather was not great,we enjoyed walking into Monopoli to experience the Port area.We also took a train to Lecce,and Mauro,the manager ,very kindly drove us to the station.He was very kind and kept a check on us.

Stayed in May 2023

To be honest everything was perfect and we've been very well looked after. It was just the 2 of us in the whole property so it is understandable that the breakfast selection wasn't too vast, but the options that were present were still great! Amazing local pastries and classic italian breakfast staples.

The place is a gem! Newly refurbished and able to blend in with the surrounding old olive tree field. We were lucky enough to be the only guests during our stay, but even if it had a full house it was so spacious that you wouldn't feel it crowded. Just 25 minutes walking out of the old town centre, it has a tennis court and an amazing swimming pool for the sporty ones, a citrus trees orchard and 100 olive trees all around the property. The staff was extremely accommodating and nice, we were treated splendidly. My partner didn't feel well one of the days and the staff did everything they could to support us. I strongly reccomend visiting this part of Puglia and staying at this amazing Villa.
