Don Ferrante - Dimore di Charme

Location was excellent for the old town. Sea view was stunning and lovely rooftop area.

Not a 5 star hotel. Limited service on rooftop and no staff at all on a Wednesday.

This place feels like heaven on earth ! We stayed with our son in Suite Madia, which was very comfortable, very clean, a lovely suite with a rooftop terrace and lovely views ! The service was overall impeccable, always with a smile, how it should be, wonderful service. Both breakfast and the lovely dinner we had on the terrace were TOP ! The only regret we had is that we only stayed for 1 night but we can't wait to return to Don Ferrante next year.

The location is good for the old town and the sea. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The room and the hotel in general could not be classed as a 5-star and was far too expensive for what it was. Breakfast was very poor and it was a shame to have breakfast instead rather than the option to be outside on the roof terrace. The pool is tiny and there is barely anywhere to sit outside in communal areas for hotel guests, so the hotel facilities are lacking. The room itself was really disappointing. Whilst it was stated that the room was underground and the bathroom was not separate from the bedroom, I would not expect no windows and a dark cave with a toilet not separated from the bedroom from a 5-star hotel. The staff did their best to be accommodating but this just couldn’t be worth the money ever and shouldn’t be called 5-star.

Good position. Near all restaurants.

Excellent location, very helpful and friendly staff, loved the restaurant with great views and food. Large comfortable rooms.

We have stayed at waterfront hotels in the past, and this is one of the nicest we have experienced. We had the Don Ferrante suite, which has an oceanfront view from the veranda. Beautiful views! Very large and comfortable. The one downside to this room is it is directly below the rooftop restaurant where there is a lot of noise. The hotel is in a great location in Monopoli, with easy walking to everything the town offers. The staff was friendly and helpful with arranging tours, etc. The pool area is rooftop and small, but the ocean is so close it didn't matter. We experienced a very nice stay.

Lovely sea view room with small balcony. Roof-top bar a must in the evenings. Quirky terraces and sunbathing areas to explore. Charming staff and everything beautifully maintained.

Room was small with limited headroom but the view made up for that.
