Description

"B&B La Porta Vecchia" and La Portavecchia Home is an historical building from the 1700s, and was once used as offices for the clergy from the neighbouring San Leonardo church. Located in the heart of the old town, with its museums, ancient chapels and traditional restaurants, the B&B is only 50 metres away from the local sandy beach. Mornings in Monopoli are bright and colourful, and at this time of day in our B&B, we take particular pride in our local produce. Depending on the season, our homemade bread, biscuits, cakes, yogurts and jam are served either in our traditional galleried area built in local “tufo” stone or on our splendid roof terrace with inviting views of the Monopoli coastline.

The comfortable bedrooms with period furnishings all have en suite shower rooms, central heating, air conditioning and tv. Cots can be provided on request. Rooms are cleaned and linen changed daily.

A studio apartment with open plan kitchen area is available for families (maximum 3 adults plus cot).

At Portavecchia Home we have apartments and rooms with breakfast service at the bar.

Very beautiful place. In the heart of the historical center. Cosima is very friendly. Near the house, it has everything - good coffee, gelato, anything for lunch and breakfast. The sea is very close too.

New and spacious apartment a few steps away from La Porta Vecchia. Nice and welcoming neighbors. Communicative host who has been very responsive and helpful. From here you can walk almost anywhere in the city and all the beaches start right from there. The further you walk, the more beaches you find. The apartment itself is quite spacious and looks wonderful. It's a good 15-20 minutes walk from the train station and bus stop for places like Alberobello but it's an enjoyable and easy walk.

Excellent breakfast on the terrace, staff always helpful and friendly, and excellent cleanliness of the rooms. Strategic location in the historic city center and a short walk from the train station. Structure very close to the coves.

Arriving in Monopoli and heading towards the seaside and the oldest area, you can already start to see the branching alleys of the historic center. Within this splendid area, almost perfectly located in the center, we can find the b&b La Porta Vecchia, through which it will be possible to spend a relaxing holiday. Located inside an alley that opens directly onto a main street of the historic center, through which you can go anywhere, it appears particularly elegant with a facade that encapsulates the intrinsic quality of the structure on which you can see the presence of a coat of arms of an ancient family. Inside, it is furnished in an ancient but balanced style in tones and colors. The room with the balcony is particularly bright, well furnished, and equipped with all the necessary services. The bathroom and room are particularly clean with decidedly delicate lines, but not too simple. The bed, particularly comfortable, allows for a peaceful rest and furthermore, the room, while remaining cool in itself, has an air conditioner. Exploring other areas of the structure, which for now remain unused due to the health emergency, it is possible to notice how there is attention to detail even in the common spaces, as for the breakfast area and even more for the little terrace where you can see the centrality of the b&b along with the beauty of the town and the structure itself. A warm greeting to Cosima who made us feel at home immediately.

Perfect place for a getaway in Monopoli. Cosima is of a rare kindness and very accommodating (I arrived at 2 am due to my flight delay and everything went well). Breakfast is taken in an idyllic setting and it is delicious. The room is spacious and perfectly clean with a typical decoration. I highly recommend this bed and breakfast where I had an excellent stay! Thank you Cosima for your warm welcome.

Very well-kept and characteristic structure, ideal for a couple (mini apartment 'The Fisherman's House'). The managers are very helpful, professional, and always available to the guest in advising on every need, without being intrusive. Excellent breakfasts made by the skilled hands of Cosima, on the splendid and characteristic terrace. The location in the historic center proved to be winning, for the tranquility of the place and for the proximity of numerous places and shops that were essential upon returning from excursions. We hope to return soon, best regards to Cosima and Luigi.

We spent five wonderful days in the charming town of Monopoli, welcomed by the kindness and courtesy of Mrs. Cosima, the B&B manager. The decor is tasteful, inspired by a delicate Provencal style with soft pastel colors. The place is quiet and one rests blissfully; breakfast is abundant and rich in homemade products such as cakes and jams. Mrs. Cosima was very helpful in providing us with directions to the places to visit and the beaches of Capitolo where to enjoy the splendid sea. A truly beautiful experience, we recommend this B&B and generally a holiday in Puglia! Best regards.
