Guest Reviews
- Marcin (10/5): -
- Girolama (7/5): - Posizione ottimale ....casetta molto graziosa e curata ...particolari le luminarie all interno. Non era pulitissima ....occorreva una spolverata prima del.nostro arrivo ....
- Eulalia (1/5): Pésima - No me gusto,porque pague mucho dinero por día y no me funcionaba lo principal por lo que yo escogí el alojamiento,que era la vitrocerámica y el aire acondicionado,mal trato cuando reclame,los 5 dias que estuve pase frio sin aire,sobre todo a la hora de la ducha,un desastre donde lo pasé muy mal,me desanime mucho y me hizo perder la ilusión de estar alli. No me gusto tener que pagar por algo que no estaba como decía la publicidad, y no hicieron nada por tenerme contenta les dio igual,por eso me desanime de estar alli,les dije que me quería ir y tampoco hicieron nada.
- whereveriwalk (4/5): Not reccomended - The location and the decoration. It was moldy, damp and musty. The tap water also had a moldy taste. And there were bugs inside the apartment.
The size of the place is only cca 15 m2, the bed is enough for one person but not for 2.
There was not enough toilet paper for 4 nights.
There is no comfortable seating.
And the main problem is that the front door can only be opened from the outside with a key, you can easily lock yourself out if the door accidentally slams.
- Lucie (8/5): -
- Katarzyna (5/5): - W centrum starego miasta, ale lokalizacja z dala od zgiełku.
Apartament w kamieniu, miał swój urok. Klima, lodówka, żelazko, suszarka sprawne.
Bardzo szczegółowe informacje dotyczące lokalizacji i używania sprzętów. Szybka reakcja w odpowiadaniu na zapytania. Łazienka za wezgłowiem łóżka, ścianka nie do sufitu - brak prywatności.
Pościel nie pasująca do kołdry. Problem z odpływem wody w umywalce. Na zdjęciach wydaje się większy.
- Laura (8/5): - Centrally located, designed with care. A bit small, perfect for a 1 night stay.
- Ina (8/5): It had a great location and a really unique style - It has a great location and a unique style. The way there is no privacy between the toilet and the room, you can hear everything.
- Ion (1/5): Aspettative alte, ma in realtà è stato un disastro - Essendo obbiettivi trovare delle note positive è difficile, riconosciamo solamente la posizione comoda. Partendo dall’arrivo in struttura, check-in alle ore 15, arriviamo circa un quarto d’ora dopo, camera sporca, non pulita dal personale dopo gli ospiti precedenti, chiamiamo così la struttura, e poco dopo arrivano le donne delle pulizie che ci fanno aspettare ulteriormente.
L’aria all’interno viziata, umidità fortissima quasi irrespirabile, letteralmente una cantina, c’è scritto 40mq di stanza ma sono molto meno, bagno aperto sopra quindi zero privacy, acqua della doccia diventa subito fredda, lavandino intasato, materasso che ci ha spaccato la schiena, preferivamo andare a dormire sugli scogli, abbiamo soggiornato 7 notti e avevamo 2 accappatoi e 3 asciugamani, quasi tutto sporco.
Successivamente ci accorgiamo che il climatizzatore non si spegneva ne cambiava di gradi, abbiamo passato la prima notte al freddo svegliandoci con torcicollo e raffreddore, chiamiamo l’host che ci ha assicurato che qualcuno sarebbe venuto a vedere, è passato qualcuno ma ci ha messo solo un profumo per via della nostra lamentela riguardante l’umidità, solo 2 giorni dopo ci è stato sistemato il climatizzatore riuscendo a respirare un pochino meno di umidità.
Per non bastare abbiamo trovato all’interno della stanza scarafaggi (enormi), allego la foto di uno che abbiamo trovato all’interno e portato fuori.
- Flavia (2/5): Mai nella vita, chi ha fatto una recensione postiva deve trovarsi veramente male a casa propria - Faccio fatica a trovare qualcosa che mi è piaciuto. Forse la posizione? No, neanche quello. La stanza, perché di una stanza stiamo parlando, è sì in centro, dietro la cattedrale ma, in una via veramente non curata. Blatte, penne ed escrementi di piccioni ne fanno da padrona. Abbiamo prenotato nel mese di Agosto 2 notti presso questa struttura ad una cifra non proprio irrisoria. La stanza è senza troppi giri di parole una cantina. Il livello di umidità è indescrivibile.. Biancheria e carta igienica bagnati! Al nostro arrivo abbiamo trovato un odore di chiuso veramente sgradevole..non so come ho fatto a sopravvivere alla prima notte. Sono incinta e l’idea di respirare quell’aria poco salubre non mi ha fatto per niente vivere bene l’esperienza. Ho deciso di contattare booking per trovare una soluzione. Mi hanno fatto chiamare dalla proprietaria, persona che al telefono si è mostrata disponibile.. ci ha proposto di trovare un posto alternativo così da rimborsarci almeno la seconda notte (il rimborso ce l’avrebbe fatto dopo aver incassato i soldi da booking). Abbiamo lasciato la struttura al volo pur cambiando i nostri programmi. Rientrati dalla vacanze la “signora” è sparita. Ho dovuto ricontattare booking per ottenere il rimborso che la proprietaria ha fatto comunque di un importo a caso.. non ha rimborsato completamente la notte.
- Predrag (8/5): -
- Christiane (10/5): - Die Lage ist top! Gerade noch in der Altstadt, aber ohne den Trubel. Ruhig und alles gut zu erreichen. Sehr nah an den Stadtstränden.
- Kieran (7/5): Super cute - 1 - Perfect for 1 or 2 nights - super cute - attention to detail little bit difficult to find - great location So the room is maybe a former
Cellar & Little bit of a musty smell
A little noisy
- Marcin (8/5): Nice and relatively comfortable place with good location which however might be at the same time a disadvantage. - It’s kind of unique, being just a small cavern-style room in fact, with bathroom just behind a small partition. Very comfortable bed (the mattress not the headbord).
Location is at the same time as pro as a con. The all-in-stone (sponge in fact) place has some disadvantages - bit dark, humid (ceiling erodes), difficult ventilation. Has anyway of course inevitable charm.
Location is great if someone wants to be in the Old Town while being just out of the main tracks. However, the Cathedral is just next door so you get each and every church bell at once. Especially if you’re there for Feragosto - ringing bells seems to be a separate feast starting like 7 a.m. daily up to late night with no pattern whatsoever. Needs consideration.
Plus round-the-corner bar is a bit annoying - almost no clients but with loud music all day long and a late night/early morning bottles’ trashing as an extra.
- Clément (9/5): Very nice, highly recommanded! - Very nice place right in the center of the city. The sea is accessible by 2min walk which makes it a great place to stay. Nice small house with all the necessary equipments. The room is eqquiped with a small kitchen which allowed us to cook our own food.
The owner allowed us to check in 2 hours in advance and this was highly appreciated. Great communication with her. It was not a big problem for us but the restaurant next door is playing music all day long until pretty late in the evening. The place is then not so chill to get rest or nap in the daytime.
- Maryia (10/5): so gorgeous and cozy. felt like home! - fell in love with this place! so cozy, clean and beautiful, and its location.. wow! highly recommend ❤️
- Dominika (7/5): Apartment in the city center - Cute room with small kitchen just a few steps from center. I really love the interior and good feeling of it. Lovely decoration and nice small things like hotel splippers or vanity kit. Room have also a fridge and ac which is good for summer days The bathroom is behind the bed and wall isn’t up to ceiling. This was so uncomfy for us. Wifi password didn’t work and after 2 messages host stopped responding. So after few tries we solved the wifi connection ourselves by scan qr code on the router.
- Eliza (10/5): A beautiful Italian stay ! - The beautiful interior, the robes and slippers, bed was very comfy, host was helpful via message, easy to access/find! Couldn’t work the heater in bathroom, but didn’t matter too much as it wasn’t cold through the night
- Dorota (6/5): Good located apartment but not comfortable enough - The apartment is very nicely finished, with fine details, highlighting the interesting atmosphere of the place. Very good location, right in the Old Town, in close proximity to the beach and the sea. Here, unfortunately, I have to point some issues:
- the apartment is small (in my opinion, it does not have the 40m2 that is in the description on Booking.com)
- the bathroom is basically part of the room (it is open from the ceiling) so using it is very uncomfortable
- small boiler - the second person has to wait for the water to heat up again
- no internet - although there is information about internet on Booking.com, the final connection is unsafe (it has not been paid since August 2023). When I asked the host about it, he stopped answering my messages.
- the door and window have no soundproofing so from early morning you can hear the bells of the church (wake-up call mandatory) and every person who passes by the door
- "table"in the kitchen very narrow (about 20cm). In fact, it is impossible for 2 people to comfortably eat breakfast at it
- Mariya (9/5): Superb - Cosy. Close to everything. Charming. So many fish and lights. We love casa Monopolinaa We had a problem with the internet. We were sent a password, but it turned out that the network is not protected because the host stopped paying
- Adam (10/5): Exceptional - Great locations, a couple of minutes from the beach where we had a swim every morning. Lovely self contained place, cosy but perfect for 2
- Ashleigh (10/5): Just perfect. We will be recommending to everyone - Everything! The property is in an amazing location and has everything you need. The room is gorgeous and made you feel like a local. N/A
- Stavroula (5/5): Passable - The apartment was at a good location (outskirts of the historic center) round the corner from the Cathedral and 2 minutes walk from the beach and 7 minute walk from the beachfront with loads of cafés bars restaurants. The room was beautiful and lovely decorated to detail new and clean bathroom. Kitchen utensils were available but we did not have a chance to use in our short stay. The room is actually on the ground floor and could not be sufficiently ventilated / no natural light .
The owner did make an effort with a scent diffuser but the scent of the room was indeed not pleasant- you could only open one window, however people passing by the alley were looking inside the apartment by the open window so this was not an option while we were inside the room.
Monopoli was very crowded during our stay so we could hear people even with the window closed. To me the most important thing was that nobody came to greet us ,instead we had to check in on-line through a link , pick up the keys from the locker and just received a message that if we need anything further we could contact them.
- Jozef (9/5): Beautifull room next to cathedrale - Beautifull room next to cathedrale and very close to the sea.Whole room in the stone,really very beautifull.Quiet place. Strange and for me first time in my life was online checking.
- Gabriel (9/5): Superb - Very well located, cozy, charming and functional room! Despite being an awesome bathroom, the hot water doesn't last so long! Enough for 10min shower, but that's it!
