Hotel Don Ferrante

Looking forward to come back in summer

Our two night stay in the Carlos V suite was simply amazing! Loved everything about the suite, loved the water views from our balcony, loved the breeze. I loved the amazing shower options and huge bathroom. We enjoyed our little terrance on the top floor very private. We loved that our suite was away from the main hotel, it was only a short walk along a beautiful waterfront. Breakfast was in the main hotel - good coffee and a nice selection of both hot and cold dishes from a buffet. We enjoyed drinks at the rooftop bar - beautiful water views. We would highly recommend Don Ferrante and would love to spend more time in Monopoli, definitely a highlight of our time in Puglia. Thank you to the helpful staff who helped us navigate the streets to arrive to the hotel, we were so lost and they rescued us. Tip: have the hotels WhatsApp number in your phone prior to arrival.

Nice property....not five star. It seems most of the complaints are about rooms and their location. If you decide to select this hotel, choose your hotel room carefully. We had the small room in the main building...the sea view was fabulous BUT it was impossible for 2 people to comfortably move around. Also, the restaurant was right above our room with the stairway adjacent, with the noise penetrating our room and lacking a sense of privacy. The pool area is lovely, but the pool is not heated and seating is limited...we were unable to sit around pool with 2 other couples present. Breakfast was good and the drivers (golf cart) who bring you back & forth to car outside city center are polite and helpful.
