Monopoli, perched on Puglia’s Adriatic coast between Bari and Brindisi, blends medieval charm with sparkling sea views and a lively promenade. If you’re hunting for the perfect hotel, this town delivers: think sleek design stays overlooking the waterfront, boutique B&Bs tucked into centuries-old villas, and family-friendly boltholes near sandy coves. For romance and luxury, the historic centre is unbeatable, while countryside masserie conversions offer rustic-chic escapes just minutes from town.
Monopoli is the kind of seaside town that makes an Italian holiday feel timeless. You can watch fishermen unload their catch at the harbour before it shows up on your plate, stroll for gelato along the waterfront, or duck into the striking 17th-century cathedral. Days are easily filled with boat trips to the nearby sea caves, lazy hours on the beach, or evenings that stretch into cocktails and live jazz at the Lido. It’s also a haven for food lovers, especially those who like their seafood served with a sea view.
