“A charming and well-located base, but the steep stairs and bathroom setup won’t suit everyone.”
+The property felt secure and was in a convenient location, within easy walking distance of the old town and close to a great café for morning coffee. The host was lovely and welcoming, despite there being a little bit of a language barrier. The property has some traditional charm and was a good base for exploring Monopoli.
−The main thing to be aware of is that the property is split across three levels with quite steep stairs, so I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone with mobility challenges or who may struggle with stairs. It also made getting suitcases in and out quite difficult, and there was a lot of going up and down between the bedroom, bathroom and living areas. The bathroom facilities could also be improved. I wasn’t able to get hot water from the upstairs shower, while the downstairs shower/bath is under a very low sloping ceiling - I’m 5’4 and still found myself hitting my head. Some of the furnishings could benefit from an update, particularly the older iron bed, which felt a little rickety. The property is also quite dark inside. I think a few more modern and practical touches would make a significant difference while still retaining its traditional character. I did book quite late during peak season, so I appreciate that prices were high generally, but for the rate I paid I felt the property was quite expensive for the overall standard.

+Charming, well maintained space with large rooms and 2 balconies. Bathrooms were well appointed. Great water pressure. Kitchen had everything you needed. We were especially happy to meet the teenage son who did all the translation for his father and made things so clear and easy for us. Such a nice family. The apartment was close to the old city and the walk home at night was very pleasant.

“Great house in a central location”
+A property with a feel of a traditional family home in a central location of Monopoli. Very welcoming and professional hosts, gave us lots of pointers and explained all details of the house. Great laundry facilities, very handy for washing and drying your own clothes on a long trip. All city attractions, bars and restaurants are a short walk away.

+Casa Chira was in a great location close to old town, very clean and in a quite neighborhood. The Host was extremely supportive to help and gave us a couple of suggestions where to go and what to visit. Home was very clean and with all needs, felt like we were in our home ☺️ Proper size for max.4adults, or 5people if you have small kids.

“A warm, comfortable, and memorable stay in beautiful Monopoli with a truly welcoming host.”
+Our host, Chiara, was exceptionally warm and welcoming, reaching out before our arrival via text and phone to ensure everything was in order. The apartment itself was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with breakfast items, bottled water, and spotless cookware. During our stay (June 21-27), the heat was intense, so the fully functioning air conditioning was absolutely essential and greatly appreciated. The two-storey layout worked perfectly for our family, offering two full bathrooms, a washing machine, and a drying rack on the balcony,very practical for longer stays. The location was ideal,just a 5-minute walk to Monopoli’s charming historic center, and close to shops, restaurants, and beautiful beaches. We especially valued the fresh water fountain right outside the building, which was perfect for refilling bottles during the hot summer days. The people of southern Italy impressed us with their kindness, compassion, and hospitality, which made our stay even more special. We paid around €1,230 for a six-night stay, which we felt was very reasonable for the quality and location. I highly recommend reaching out to the host directly before booking,it’s always a good idea to
−Parking was sometimes challenging, especially on weekends, as free spots on the street (white lines) were limited and paid spots (blue lines) were more common. Lastly, some of the beaches in Monopoli were rocky, so it's worth researching which ones are sandy before heading out.

“Loved the vibe and the location”
+We had a great stay at Casa Chiara! The apartment is in a perfect location,just a short walk from both the historic center and the train station. Everything was clean, nicely decorated, and exactly as expected. The kitchen could use a few more essentials, but since we mostly ate out, it didn’t really matter. Overall, a lovely place to stay in Monopoli!
−One small note: the wooden ceiling in the bedroom occasionally creaked a bit at night. It’s probably just the charm of an older building, but as someone who’s a light sleeper, I noticed it. Nothing major though,it didn’t affect the quality of our stay.

“Bom apartamento, fora do centro histórico.”
+O apartamento é confortavel, porém com muitas escadas. Fica bem próximo ao centro histórico de Otranto. Estacionamento na rua.
