JUMP IN THE BLUE with direct access to the sandy beach of Monopoli - PUGLIA

We loved the house on the border of the Mediterranean sea. The hospitality, help, information and especially the warmth of our dear host Luciana were great. Felt like family! The attention in the decoration of the rooms is very tasty. Sea themes & colours everywhere. There is so much interesting culture to visit in the surroundings. Strongly recommended.

We absolutely loved this wonderful place set right on a beautiful beach with restaurants placed along the beach and close to the lovely village of Savelletri for supplies, coffee and some great reataurants. Not touristy at all. Luciana was a fantastic host and gave us some great tips on the area. Always wonderful dealing with her. Also close for day trips to Monopoli. Polignano a Mare, Alberobello and others. We even did. Day trip to Matera which was really worthwhile. All in all we wish we come come back regularly, but it’s a long way from Australia.

Wonderful hosts, great location.

A fantastic location right on the beach .The owners, Luciana and Fabrizio, are friendly and always willing to help( and really helped) .We will reccomend this place for everybody.

We were lucky enough to stay here over May half term with our two boys (4 and 7). The apartment is comfortable and has everything that you require. The beach is at the end of the garden and the sand and water is perfect. Luciana and her family are very friendly and helpful with anything you need. I hope we get to go back again.

The photographs really do not do this place justice. The apartment is beautiful; spacious, immaculately clean and well equipped. The towels and bedding are lovely as is the simple, elegant decor. Waking up each morning to sound of the sea is a delight in itself. The privilege of walking through the private gate, onto the beach is a real treat. The beach was very busy when we were here, so it felt luxurious to be able to wander onto the beach for a swim and then return to the apartment's private gardens to relax in the sun. Luciana is everything you could wish for in a hostess. Her warmth matched the Puglese sunshine. It felt reassuring to have her close by armed with local information, but she never intruded in any way. We will definitely return to Luciana's beautiful home. Thank you for having us :)

A really good, clean, simple apartment with a large, established garden and a gate onto a gently sloping sandy beach at the end of it. The sea was warm and incredibly clear. The beach slopes gently into the sea and there is a large shallow area ideal for children. There are a few beach bars and restaurants a few minutes walk along the beach. Good location for visiting places like Ostuna, Monopoli etc and close to amazing countryside with gnarly old olive trees etc and plenty of really good places to eat a few minutes drive away. Luciana is a wonderful host and could not have been nicer.

We can only agree with all of the positive comments from the other contributors. We had a great time. The property is all that it appears in the photos. Its rare to find such a property that is so exquisitely decorated and yet easy to keep. Added to that was the warmth of our hosts. Luciana is a star. She was always available and made us feel like we were her first guests with her recommendations and time. Our two young kids are still asking when they will see her young son again. They had a memorable time. The beach and the veranda were a big hit with us. The section of beach on to which the property fronts was the best in the whole stretch. It was so safe and shallow for the kids. The water was so clean and warm too for the time of year. Its a great base to discover the area. The old part of Monopoli was the highlight while nearby Sallevetri has some nice restaurants too. We will return that's for sure.

A fantastic location right on the beach in an area well used by locals to enjoy crystal blue waters of the Adriatic. Nearby towns offer some great places to eat, from sophisticated seafood to classic Italian gelato. Should you fancy a change, a quick drive can take you to historically interesting places such as Alberobello, Grotte di Castellana and Ostuni. The property is smartly designed; both homely and appealing at the same time. As a family with 2 small children, the secure garden was perfect for lizard hunting and general mucking about. All of the above is made even better by our attentive hosts, who recommended where the best pizzas were, found us some amazing local produce to enjoy, and were amazingly friendly and helpful. In addition, with two delightful kids of their own, our two had immediate partners in mischief!
