I Sottani

Beautiful and very well located Pino was very helpful and accommodating

Excellent location in the old town, 15 minutes walk from the train station (note that if you have heavy luggage or wheeled luggage, the pavements, location of parked cars, and general lack of dropped kerbs could be challenging!). I would advise though that you do arrive on the train as the train was very reasonable and modern (also a lovely bakery just 1 minute from the station). Lovely old property. Host Pino very responsive and shared some tip documents on where to eat etc and let us drop off luggage pre check in. Apartment had lots of crockery, a fridge, recycling bins (green for glass, yellow for plastic and metal, blue for paper), a few hangers and a drying rack. Small sachets of shower gel. Lovely and cool in the hot weather.

This is not a fault with the apartment in particular but the nights we stayed there was a lot of noise outside from people in the street, so if you're a light sleeper, consider bringing earplugs! Also, every time we opened the small window in the bathroom, the room would smell of cigarettes (again, not a problem with the apartment itself). Shower could have been a little cleaner as there was some black mould stain (I guess like any shower with limited ventilation on some of the tiles, and it is an older, unique property so maybe unavoidable?). All in all a nice stay in historic building and part of Monopoli.

Very good

Everything was great. The location is perfect, in the old town area, but you can find the free parking spot in 10 minutes walking distance. The best way to feel the city atmosphere. The apartment was really cool, cozy and authentic. Pino was a great host, very helpful and kind. He was very kind although he had to wait for us since we were coming late to the agreed time for getting the keys. We would go there again for sure.
