Casa e Bottega

Central location in old town on a pretty and quiet little street. The room is gorgeously decorated, spacious and very clean. There is a shared kitchen on the ground floor and terrace at the top. Quick and easy communication with the host. Monopoli is such a beautiful town.

Location was great.

TV could be better.

Top locatie!

Kleine badkamer. De buren waren ook aan het verbouwen dus uitslapen zat er helaas niet in.

We loved Monopoli and this accommodation was perfectly located for sightseeing and the beach. We appreciated the early check in and enjoyed our complimentary breakfast at Caffe Roma. The room was pretty, very clean with a small bright bathroom and tiny balcony. There were complimentary bottles of water and snacks in the shared kitchen.

The TV was unsecured on top of the wardrobe which was also not secured to the wall. This led to an unfortunate accident where the TV fell and was damaged. While the host assured us this had never happened before we believe TVs are generally wall mounted wherever else we’ve stayed and given Italy is in a seismic zone probably should be. Certainly if it was secured it wouldn’t have been able to fall when the wardrobe was accidentally knocked. A kettle for the room would be a nice addition. The shower though small was very clean and useable but drainage could be improved.

Very local to all attractions

A lot of stairs

The property is located in the very heart of Monopoli’s historic center, which means everything is charming but also quite compact. For breakfast, guests need to take a short walk (about 200 meters) to a nearby square, where they can enjoy a typical Italian breakfast — a croissant and a coffee — by presenting the provided voucher. The apartment key is provided in a secure lockbox by the door (contact with the owner is via WhatsApp).

The bathroom is very small, with a tiny shower cabin — it has its charm, but larger guests should be aware of this.

The bed and pillows were not comfortable for us but that is the only negative 😊
