"Huone oli todella pieni ja samoin wc ja suihku. Hyvä kun mahtui menemään suihkuun sisään. Huoneessa haisi tullessa myös kosteusvahingolta ja lattiat olivat lakaisematta. Terassilta myös tuli likaa aina sisälle, koska sitä ei oltu lakaistu tai pesty. Portaat huoneeseen olivat myös melkoinen elämys, korkeat, jyrkät ja kapeat. Matkalaukkujen ylössaaminen oli haasteellista. Itse terassi oli tosi kiva lisä muuten pieneen huoneeseen. Harmi että myös ulkokalusteiden pehmusteet olivat tosi likaiset....

"Pablo is by far the most communicative and flexible host I have ever met, and he went out of the way to make us feel comfortable. The property is located in a central part of Monopoli and within walking distance to both the historical centre, pier and multiple beaches. "

"The location was excellent but the shower and extra bed portion were too small for a grown adult. We had to bend down and over to go up the staircase and enter the door and the 3rd bed could not fit an adult or teenage child. The water from the A/C filled up a jug in the closet, it leaked into our room and soaked the floor, the bed sheets hanging onto the floor and our clothing and towels on the floor. After reaching out to the property owner, they communicated quickly and advised us what to...

"The place was perfect for us and we enjoyed our stay very much. Everything was clean and cosy, and we found everything we needed in the kitchen etc. The view is spectacular. Ventilation is also great, no need for an air condition. Just two aspects to be improved: When checking in I had to sign another contract directly with the agency which was hard to read and had no time to read before signing. And the online link to the contract didn't work, so I would like to finally get a copy of the...

"This place was close to the old town and all the restaurants and sights. There are many vantage points that overlook the Adraitic sea. It was relatively flat unless you went to beaches like Lama Monachili. "

5/5 Excellent

"I really loved the customer service. Everyone at this hotel was very helpful, understanding and informative. The only thing I didn’t like was that it was away from restaurants or the city and the beach was still a little far given that we didn’t have a car. It wasn’t at a walking distance. However, the shuttle was available to get to the city. "
