Our initial room we were assigned (54) had a strong mold/mildew oder plus little ventilation, which would not have been healthy to continue sleeping in. We were, however, moved to a room with better ventilation/air flow upon reporting this to the host 😊

This review does not directly apply to this room. When we arrived there was an issue with our original room. Upon informing the host we were promptly moved to a new suitable room for the remainder of our time there. Location is great and central in monopoli and close to plenty of places to eat at.

Only a door between our appartement and the other appartement

Location in the city centre

The shape of the accommodation was a bit claustrophobic and the mattress wasn't very comfortable. I personally prefer human interaction rather than msg and instructions.

The location is great. Very clean. Good value for money. The host, Rosa, was very friendly but we only interact over the phone.

No natural light, no windows. Sand and grit falling from the ceiling onto the bed due to traffic in the upstairs apartment?. Didnt put us off staying here again though.

Great apartment right on the edge of the port in the old town. We loved everything about this place. Bed was comfortable, shower and bathroom very clean. Right besides bars and restaurants. Ideal

The douple bed was so noisy.

Unpleasant smell from lack of windows, humid all the time. Air conditioning not working properly at all. A bit noisy but understandable for location.

It was centrally placed and close to everything. We liked the easy check-in and the smooth communication with the owner.

The room and bathroom had a terrible smell, it was quite off-putting.

The location was perfect. The host was very attentive to our needs. The bed was comfortable.

The entrance of the room is situated in a back alley right in front of a restaurant. We didn't find it to be noisy but there was no proper way to get fresh air, especially needed in July. The first night there was a strong smell of mould and without windows, the only solution we had was to keep the AC running all night. I think that a great addition for the room would be the introduction of some good ventilation.

The room is located in an excellent spot. It is right next to Castello Carlo V. It was very clean and tidy. The lady running the property is very helpful and responds relatively quick. We needed fresh towels and an iron - which she was ready to bring immediately. I highly recommend this location if you are looking for a place just to spend the night while also being in the heart of Monopoli.

Be aware the rooms are on street level with no windows to be open. This gives you zero ventilation and the room is like a cellar - alway moist with a bit moldy smell. I found WiFi once I asked the last guest about it. No signal on the phone inside the room.

Great location right on a picturesque little square!

Stayed in June 2024

It's true that it's quite noisy because of the pizzeria on the doorstep and the people traffic, but I took earplugs and was fine with it. If you want somewhere really quiet don't go to a town........The reward is a fantastic location in a vibrant, lovely place.

Brilliant location, in the beautiful old town of Monopoli, right beside the harbour, promenade and all the cafes, bars and restaurants around. More importantly, the fantastic pizzeria/cafe, The King, is right outside the front door. So handy, delicious food, and reasonably priced. Highly recommended. I had the large double room with balcony which was perfect for looking out over the square. A small kitchen and lovely bathroom were great to have. Signora Rosa was very pleasant and kind and access was easy. I'd love to go back there.

The best location in town. Very close to the sea and to many amenities. Just next door there is an amazing restaurant called the king which i highly recommend to try everything from.

The door to the room is right where people walk past. There was still rubbish in bin from previous guests. Room is very closed in (no windows to get light or a fresh breeze in).

Great location. Close to restaurants/shops/grocery shops/beaches. Despite being next to a bustling cafe, the room was soundproof. Room temperature was quite cool - would be great in hotter months.

A small kettle would have been great, but thats minor. Everything was great.

Location was great... amongst all the old town activity. However, we found it hard to find, and not speaking Italian was tricky... but found it in the end, then it was all easy. Owner came and she was most helpful.

location, easy access

I would have thought as it is a B&B that breakfast would be included however this could be an option whilst booking. It also could get damp in there as there are no windows which means clothes don’t dry

amazing location with super friendly host. didn’t get to meet them but they helped me when I arrived early

Stayed in July 2023

The room is very loud and dark, because there’s a restaurant. Tables are literally under your window, so you should not open the window if you want some privacy. It’s impossible to dry towels and swim suits cause there’re no heating system or balcony. High level of humidity in the room, every time you feel that your clothes and bed linens are a bit wet.

Good location in historical center of Monopoly. The room is very clean.

Stayed in June 2023

Very poor ventilation in the bathroom, it's damp and smells bad. Similar situation in the room, it has one window, but there is a restaurant table in front of it, the door opens directly to the street, so it cannot be aired out.

The location was good. The host was kind, they arranged an early check in for us.

Stayed in June 2023

We stayed for 4 nights but after the first day there was a smell of mould, this is the case with a lot of these stone properties. A window in the door opens onto a narrow walkway for the restaurant on the doorstep. I found the room claustrophobic, my husband didn’t. Very, very noisy, staff at restaurant talking and laughing loudly at 8am and 2am. They do not talk and laugh so loud when they have customers. I would not stay here again because of smell of mould and restaurant staff being so noisy.

Great location in the centre of Monopoli. Comfortable bed, small bathroom with shower and plenty of sockets. Spotlessly clean, we asked and got 2 extra pillows. Checked in early but sometimes communication was difficult as I had to translate in Google. There is free parking at Port Vecchio beach, white lines (blue lines you pay) property is then a 15 minute walk.

Was a lovely room, and little kitchenette at the back. The location was brilliant, so close to the sea for nice evening walks. Also super close to restaurants and bars. Honestly loved this place and the host was so communicative and lovely.

Poor response when called the owner on the chemcal smell and lack of ventilation - finding a cafe at the door the next morning was the last staw.

Really disappointed - we moved out after the first night as there was a cafe right outside the bedroom door - the room didn'y ha ve window so could open the door for ventilation. Photos did nor feed back indicate these issues - assked for a refund and haven't had a response - very unhappy customer!

I wouldn't stay here again. Terrible value for three nights. We stayed in room 54, with the entrance literally in the middle of a restaurant. The room was unventilated and the mattress was awful. The internet signal provided by the wifi's property was very very weak. Concerning car parking, before arriving, I sent a message asking for directions to parking and received no response. I ended up asking someone on the street and was given incorrect directions about parking on the white line, which resulted in a €29 fine. The place was completely unwelcoming and impersonal. After Monopoli, we stayed in Lecce and Matera and saw the difference in service in a much more positive light.

Just the location although to get in we had to literally pass thru a restaurant tables in the middle of the clients

Almost perfect. The apartment is clean and it's in the center so it's accesible
