This apartment was a truly wonderful experience to stay in. The location is second to none, a short stroll to the harbour, Piazza Garibaldi and Via Garibaldi all of which probably give the very best that Monopoli has to offer!
Two good sized double bedrooms, both with double beds and plenty of wardrobe space. One bedroom has a decent ensuite bathroom. The actual bath is very small, purpose built to be sat in, but this leaves plenty of room to move about in when showering. The other bathroom has a large shower with a 'rain forest' showerhead. Both bathrooms have bidets, toilets, sinks and good mirrors with additional lighting. Decent washing machine also in larger bathroom.
The kitchen a big fridge and smaller freezer, more than enough for our week long stay. An abundance of pots, pans, cutlery, crockery and glasses as well. There are also a coffee making machine, toaster, kettle and microwave along with a standard 4 ring cooker and oven.
The dining room has a big dining table with six chairs, two side boards along with a couch and TV. The old school style really blends with the property and the ceiling in the second bedroom is fantastically decorated.
The outside terrace is fantastic, we ate all of ours meals, (breakfasts only as we ate out every evening in one of the many very local restaurants), out there, with views of the Adriatic, the harbour and a slice of Piazza Garibaldi to boot. The sun does disappear in the late afternoon but the mornings out there are glorious.
It should be noted that the apartment is at the top of 65 steps, however my 74 year old mother coped with a little assistance and some minor puffing and panting.
Monopoli in itself is fairly small, I would imagine the entire town could be explored in a lazy afternoon, however, the town is packed with bars, restaurants, pizzerias, ice cream shops etc. There is even a minimarket and delicatessen within a 5 minute stroll.
We had a fantastic time in Monopoli and this apartment was an excellent base for our stay.
