The most delightful place to stay, hosted by Antonio and Renata. While their English is limited, Google Translate helped when needed. Our apartment was very clean and was cleaned daily. Linen was fresh. Breakfast was plentiful, Italian style.

Very welcoming structure, with perfect cleanliness, located in an excellent area to visit the historic center of Monopoli. The only downside is the difficulty of parking, which is common throughout Monopoli. There are very steep stairs to access the rooms.

This place deserves a 20+ rating. Antonio and Rossana were phenomenal! The location is perfect, the neighborhood is such a welcoming place. And the the terrace is the perfect place to watch the sunset and hear the church bells while drinking a glass of wine. But the most important part of this place is Antonio and Rosanna, they make you feel like you are a family friend. From the moment we arrived Antonio showed me where to park and walked me to the best focaccia (hello Daniele), the best pizza, the best fruit and gelato. You get a special discount at some restaurants in town. Antonio went above and beyond for my girlfriend who is lactose intolerant by finding lactose-free milk so she could enjoy a cappuccino. This was the best place we stayed in Italy and we can’t wait to come back. If you are thinking of staying here you should, I'll recommend it to all of my friends.

A very good address to enjoy Monopoli and its surroundings. Very warm welcome and many tips to discover the region. The terrace also turned out to be a real little haven of peace to enjoy the sun at the end and beginning of the day.

Cozy place, very well-kept, clean, romantic, in a strategic position in the historic center. Antonio and Rosanna, the owners, are two special people and then the breakfast carefully prepared by them, with sweets and jams made by Rosanna herself. I will definitely come back.

Exceptional structure managed entirely by the owners Antonio and Rosanna who made us feel at home, taking care of every detail with care! Thank you very much for everything and for your kindness! Too bad Rome is not very close! Anyway, see you next year.

Everything perfect, room on the top floor with a view of the Cathedral bell tower, very clean, comfortable bed, fast TV and WiFi, abundant breakfast with homemade products by the splendid landlady Rosanna, different and super cakes every day, jams and much more.

Very nice host, nice house in the countryside of Monopoli in the middle of the olive trees. The area is beautiful and you can easily access Monopoli or Polignano a Mare (7 minutes drive to each). Vincenza was very nice and helpful, she provided local food upon our arrival and was always available for information. Thanks a lot!

We stayed at this B&B for a fantastic week. In reality, more than a B&B, it's a real family! The comfort of the rooms is unique, not to mention the fantastic abundant breakfast on the terrace where the fantastic Rosanna was waiting for us. A spectacular lady, helpful, friendly, and hospitable. The B&B is located near the sea, the historic center, and the city, a perfect location for a relaxing holiday. Cleanliness, friendliness, hospitality, and love, these are the adjectives that characterize this fantastic place. We will see you soon. You are truly exceptional. A big kiss from Naples. Giusy and Antonio.

We stayed at this B&B for a fantastic week.\n\nBut it was actually more than a B&B, it was like a family.\n\nThe rooms are equipped with exceptional comfort, maximum cleanliness.\n\nA plentiful breakfast awaited us every morning on the magnificent terrace, where Rosanna was waiting for us.\n\nA fantastic person, full of love, helpful, altruistic.\n\nHospitality, sympathy, and love, these are the 3 qualities that distinguish this fantastic place, managed by fantastic people.\n\nThe B&B is in a perfect location, between the historic center, the sea, and the city, all within walking distance in a few minutes.\n\nIt was a fantastic week, thank you so much again for all the "cuddles" you gave us.\n\nHoping to see you soon.\n\nA huge kiss from Naples.

Brand new property decorated with great taste, right in the center, excellent breakfast with sweets and jams prepared by the owner. A bit inconvenient to find parking and for the stairs. Definitely worth a try!
