Bellavista Suites

excellent location with lovely roof terrace, only downside was the lack of shower in room (bath only) would recommend because of the terrace alone given not many hotel in Monopoli offer a pool and public beaches are very crowded

lack of shower in room (bath only), breakfast wasn’t great but understandable given lack of on-sight kitchen

Location & staff

Shower. Everything else was perfect

Lovely facilities, perfect location and friendly staff

room was noisy

Nothing it ruined our holiday, if we had to say one thing we liked it would be the location (although parking is impossible).

Our stay at this “hotel” would simply be described as horrible. We arrived there after a very long drive to be greeted by no one. There is no staff or even a reception area. We stumbled upon a cleaner that couldn’t communicate with us and it took us hours to get someone to come over to give our room key (even though we got there after our check in time). We paid extra for the sea view room with breakfast and a jacuzzi bath. At the first glance the room with the view looked nice however we then realised the tv wasn’t working. The jacuzzi bath is there as a selling point but it doesn’t fit two people and another inconvenience was that there was nothing to stabilise the shower head with (the water is not powerful or hot enough) which made it difficult to wash my hair with. The fact that the minibar in the room was located in the bathroom next to the toilet didn’t feel hygienic to us too. We didn’t sleep well at all given the blinds were not blackout and the room was very light early in the morning. Our bed was 2 metres away from “the breakfast bar” (which was essentially a corridor) so we got woken up again at 6am from the staff preparing breakfast and chatting amongst eachother (the walls are very thin and you are literally a metre away from them). The extra cost we paid for the breakfast was not worth it and it was so bad we actually opted out the last day. The rooftop pool is nice but not big enough for the amount of guests they could have and full of pigeons. The pool is also high as your knee (not even). Also everything is self service so do not expect hotel poolside treatment. The marketing pictures of this hotel are very deceitful. Do not be fooled by the pictures. They market themselves as luxury but it’s far from luxury. We complained to the staff about the problems we had and wanted a refund / checkout early as it was ruining our holiday. They refused and moved us to their sister property.

room was amazing. the round bed was very comfortable. the balcony was beautiful but with the rain we did not get to use it.

The Place was wonderful.

Shower-head above. Very hard to shower when holding shower-head in hand

Beautiful rooms, incredible views, awesome rooftop and really helpful and friendly staff! I will definitely return one day!
