Myself and my family started our Puglia trip here... what a great start, a very warm welcome, terrific service, amazing food. We were able to combine historical site seeing at the Trulli (for the older ones), a fun visit to the zoo (for the young ones) all at a door step: all combined with execellent service, lovely accommodation (both rustic...

This fall my husband and I enjoyed a weeklong stay at the beautiful Tenuta Monacelle resort in Monopoli, Bari, Itay. From a glorious hilltop setting overlooking the Adriatic, we enjoyed quiet and restful evenings after delicious lunches, dinners, afternoon snacks and aperitifs.......originally built in 1790, it has all the modern conveniences you'll ever need! Each room is like having you're... More

The fact we wanted to leave halfway through the first evening says it all. We booked a Terrace Suite which was OK but quite tired with a very small sitting room and only a shower in the bathroom. The terrace had seen better days, with the plants uncared for and generally looking a bit gloomy. The real let down was... More

Our arrival was a little unusual, we had the feeling that we were unexpected but this seemed to be the general, cool and couldn't give a damn manner of the check in personnel. We had to drive our hire car to the parking area and meet back at reception, very unusual. Other than that, our stay was very relaxing. Our... More

Excellent hotel, member of Pregio Hotels Group. Large grounds with beautiful swimming pool. Our room was lovely with a large terrace overlooking the swimming pool. There is a trulli village which houses some of the rooms as well as the restaurant. Substantial breakfasts. Car essential as it is in the middle of nowhere. Free access to a beach club on... More

The directions off their website are a bit idiosyncratic, but we found it easily enough and the reception staff were very welcoming. We had a Masseria room which was stylish and well-equipped. After a longish day travelling we went to the restaurant quite early where the staff could not have been more welcoming or helpful. When asked what we wanted... More

SERVICE Very friendly woman at reception, very nice staff at pool. Cold, impersonal staff in restaurant. ROOM Lots of buildings with mazzeria spread around the area. Room itself very sterile, almost the feel of a business hotel room. No Italian charme that we would have preferred. Clean and OK, but nothing special. We had two rooms connecting since there was...

We enjoyed our 4 nights at this hotel which had a great pool, nice grounds and a welcoming and calm atmosphere. We were initially charmed to stay in one of the old trulli houses which was beautiful but did find the lack of air conditioning an issue. The trulli remained charming and well equipped. The service was very good and... More

We stayed at Tenuta Monacelle for seven nights in July, and overall it was an extremely pleasant experience but with some annoying service problems. We loved the remoteness of the hotel once we had found it, but it was extremely difficult driving in the dark at 11.00 at night from Bari airport. The hotel is well signed when you are... More
