About the home

This superb Italian holiday house is an old limestone building, situated in the Historic Centre, of the picturesque and lively town of Monopoli. The house has four floors and roof terrace. From the terrace there are wonderful panoramic views. You can look down on neighbouring roof terraces, or watch the day to day life in the streets below. You can admire the old town skyline with its many church-towers and in the distance the Adriatic sea shimmers. Almost within touching distance is the cupola of the nearest church, the Purtgatorio, which gives its name to our small street Via Purgatorio. Just behind Purgatorio rises the tower of the Cathedral, the pearl of Monopoli. Only to the South, you will get a glimpse of the coastline and in the far distance you will discover the horizon of the Adriatic Sea.

The house has two hundred years' of history. Its traditional construction, with thick walls of natural stones, makes it a superb place to stay and live in. All the rooms have vaulted ceilings which give a feeling of space and air. Like many urban dwellings in Italy has high ceilings and combined with the thick walls - prevents excessive heat and is therefore cool even on the hottest summer days.

The Puglia/Molise region

Puglia is a wonderful area to consider. It offers at least one excellent archaeological museum, a host of cathedrals dating back to the 10th century, Greek and Roman ruins, a gleaming necklace of lively fishing villages, one of Europe's largest forests, a chain of medieval hill towns, and some of the very cleanest beaches and water in the Mediterranean.

The Monopoli area

Monopoli is a very nice town on the sea, famous, apart for its beaches and clean waters, also for its baroque churches.

What is there to see?

Cathedral - it is one of the most attractive examples of Baroque in the entire Apulian region. Its imposing monumental front is flanked on the left by an elegant bell tower that has markedly projecting cornices separating its floors. Notable is the Byzantine icon portraying the Madonna della Madia - legend tells that the sacred image was washed up from the sea on a stack of trunks, that were then used for the building of the trussed roof - very well-preserved and of fine workmanship, it dates from 1280.

Santa Maria Degli Amalfitani - a Romanesque building erected at the beginning of the twelfth century on a pre-existing rock settlement.

Abbey of Santo Stefano - a fortified complex built in 1086, the remains of an old church survive in the inner courtyard, still inside there are the visible remains of the Roman settlement of Turris Paola, one of the landing places for nearby Egnazia.

Castle - bounded on three sides by the sea and protected on the fourth by a moat that no longer exists, it was used as a prison until the beginning of the twentieth century, the castle has been recently restored and today houses the Municipal Archaeological Museum on its first floor.

Purgatorio Church - with images of skeletons on its doors. Inside you will find familiar Baroque interior but on the adjusting chapel you will find mummies of some local citizens. If the church is closed then you can watch some of the mummies through the street window.

Palazzo Palmieri - central square of the Centro Storico.

Madonna del Soccorso Church - old grotto with frescoes was dug out of a natural cavity in the rock.

The Region - It consists of 99 districts(“contrade”) characterized by the presence of ‘Masserie Fortificate’ of ancient Roman origin, Rupestrian Churches, neo-classic villas and houses. The outstanding landscape consists of almond and olive trees, apart from fruit trees of all sort and vegetables cultivation.

“Big beautiful house with all the pleasures of Southern Italy within walking distance.” Monopoli is well suited for travellers with children. The town is not too big and busy, and the historical centre small enough for our two year old to walk across for ice-cream, though that was... more

“A large house in the midst of wonderful Monopoli” The house is set up for good guest privacy, a great kitchen that is extremely well equiped. The only unfortunate issue is the balcony is three levels above the kitchen. The view from the balcony is... more
