Palazzo Esmeralda - Self-catering apartments in Puglia
Via Forno Romano 8, 70043 Monopoli, Bari
Puglia,
Italia
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.
