The Experience
You’re in the heart of the old town here and right by the sea, an easy stroll to restaurants, bars, chic boutiques and Porto-Vecchio harbour. Watch the fishermen haul in the day’s catch then buy your supper directly from them. Wander down narrow, cobbled alleyways, soak up the lively atmosphere, stop for an aperitivo.
The three-storey townhouse can be booked as two individual apartments or as a whole. It has been lovingly revived and filled with impressive antiques and clever vintage finds. The first-floor apartment has a stunning atrium filled with exotic plants and spacious lounge. It has two bedrooms with an additional bed on a mezzanine, and bathrooms are dreamy; check out the antique copper tub for two. The second-floor apartment, with three bedrooms, has exclusive use of the impressive rooftop terrace with panoramic views, an outdoor kitchen and a dipping pool (repurposed from an old French copper cheese vat) – you’ll never want to leave.
Each apartment has a kitchen/diner so the chef can chat as well as cook – or hire a local chef. Puglia and the coast await: you’re a 5-minute walk from Porta Vecchia beach and plenty more sandy coves are a slightly further stroll away.

Annabel’s home is totally unbelievable and we feel so lucky to have been able to stay there! The bedrooms are stunningly decorated, each one so unique and comfortable. The rooftop terrace with dipping pool and undercover eating area was perfect. The location is perfect. Anna our amazing host was totally fabulous - all her advise and help with restaurants, beach club and taxi bookings made our holiday just perfect! She also recommended having Paola cook for us which was heavenly! Thanks so much for opening your home up to us, know my sister had a 40th birthday she’ll never forget x

We had an amazing fortnight at Annabel’s beautiful flat; the decor is stunning, beds super comfy & rooms very quiet despite being minutes from the hustle & bustle of the old town. We loved the breezy rooftop and the plunge-pool to cool off in, while kids couldn’t get enough of the table-football in the basement and the local beach (5 mins away) where we swam most days. Special mention goes to manager Anna, who was so helpful and nothing too much trouble - we were even granted a late checkout as our flight didn’t leave till eve. We would love to come back some day. Grazie mille!

Stunning property, beautifully appointed with the most wonderful roof top terrace and perfectly situated on a tiny “piazza” too!!! Thanks must also go to Anna our stand in host. Such a lovely person and a mine of information. We, 6 of us, mums and daughters, absolutely loved our time there.

Location
The neighbourhood
As well as getting snap happy and eating everything in sight, check out the cultural delights: Castello di Carlo V, a 16th century castle jutting out over the sea; Basilica of the Madonna della Madia cathedral; Palmieri Palace, a fine example of Lecce-inspired architecture. Wander down the paved promenade that runs along the coast. There are lots of beaches nearby, some wild, others with loungers.
Local points of interest from Annabel Pointon
- From the apartment you can easily reach "Cala Porta Vecchia", a lovely sandy beach. Within 15 minutes walk you can also reach some of Monopoli's other beautiful beaches.
- Don't miss a drive around Monopoli's countryside with its secular olive trees and its ancient "masserie"!
- From Monopoli you can easily reach all the beautiful towns of Puglia: Polignano, with its breathtaking cliffs, the Caves of Castellana Grotte, the Trulli of Alberobello, or reach the enchanting old towns of Locorotondo and Martina Franca.
- You can also visit the famous "White City" of Ostuni, a 30 minute trip by train or car. Matera, with its incredible landscape, and Lecce with its famous baroque architecture are one hour by car (or you can take the train) from Monopoli. Don't miss them!

Introducing
Annabel Pointon
Annabel is a child and adolescent psychotherapist and lives in Sussex. She's also an artist and keen traveller who fell in love with Puglia. She spent five years patiently restoring and renovating the townhouse; bringing it back to life, reconnecting it to its history and filling it with beautiful objects. She also learnt Italian along the way. Your contact is the local English-speaking manager.
Honestly and without a doubt one of the nicest places I’ve stayed in. The house, the hosts and the town were all incredible. Both flats feel like home and have a great vibe. The artwork, furniture and various other bits and pieces made it feel like a home away from home. The roof terrace is out of this world. Monopoli is absolutely beautiful and worth a visit. I didn’t want to leave!
