Santa Maria 24

My partner and I plus two friends spent six days in Puglia - two of which were spent here in Monopoli. Without doubt this was the absolute highlight of an already fabulous trip - with EVERYTHING lovingly thought of and delivered, and with the loveliest of staff. We were picked up from the train station by the smiling and friendly Rocco in their fabulous 2CV and whisked through the narrow streets of the historical centre of Monopoli to simply beautiful accommodation. The building itself houses a number of different rooms and apartments - we had two studio apartments that were immaculate, beautifully designed and everything you could imagine included: a well equipped little kitchen, a lovely bathroom with robe and slippers, a tiny balcony and a super comfortable bed. Patricia the manager was an absolute delight and showed us to our rooms, and her colleague Florinda was also so charming and helpful. The breakfast, overseen by the lovely and ever attentive Daniela, was by far the best of our whole trip (plus that of our previous visit to Puglia) with a vast selection of fresh produce, both hot and cold, and the choice to sit down the little alleyway outside the property or inside a charming little room which becomes a restaurant in the evening. All the other staff too were smiling and cheerful and welcoming. The little hotel is right in the heart of this charming little old town, overlooking a picture-perfect square, and just one street from the seafront. We will definitely be coming back for a longer visit - and will use this as a perfect base to explore the area further. We all send huge thanks to everyone at Santa Maria 24 for such a magical stay. We can't wait to see you again next time!

Everything about our stay at Santa Maria 24 was perfect! Before we arrived Francesco was in contact to provide details of where our taxi transfer should drop us off (access to the old town was restricted) which was super helpful. We were then collected by Rocco who took us to the apartments. Everything had been thought of to make our arrival stress-free. The staff were, without exception brilliant! Very attentive but in an unassuming, friendly manner. Nothing was too much trouble. The apartment was beautiful with the most stunning view out over the sea. We couldn't fault anything about our stay and fully intend to come back in the near furture!

Comfie bed and great breakfast. Nice touches such as robes and decorative pieces throughout. Small kitchen and i had no need to use it with a great breakfast supplied and dozens of restaurants nearby.

Incredible in every way. Breakfast buffet was unbelievable, location perfect, views stunning, apartment amazing, staff top notch. And the transfer from the offsite parking garage in the vintage car was worth the cost of parking just for the experience.

BEST STAY IN MONOPOLI! The staff were the highlight for us. Everyone was so lovely and caring. You can tell that they are all very proud of where they work and live. All our needs were met and more. They even sang me happy birthday! Facilities are great. Stairs are a good workout! The staff will help you with your bags so don’t worry about this. There is also parking available about 7min walk away if you want the security. But again, the staff were just amazing and so nice!
