B&B Palazzo Antonelli Monopoli

Review by hotel critic

Nestled in bustling Monopoli, B&B Palazzo Antonelli offers an intriguing mix of charm and convenience that I had the pleasure of experiencing over New Year. As a wildlife conservationist who cherishes authentic and meaningful travel experiences, I appreciate a warm vibe, and this place is a blend of potential and peculiarities. The location is hard to beat—within a stone's throw of Piazza Garibaldi, you can easily immerse yourself in the vibrant local culture. From a practical standpoint, the accessibility isn’t the best, as the pedestrian-only zone requires a bit of a trek from the nearest parking area to the B&B itself. My traveling companions and I had to haul our luggage through the charming but crowded streets, which, while slightly inconvenient, added to that adventure feel I seek on trips. Upon settling in, we were greeted with the basics: comfortable beds, a shared kitchen, and a refreshing vibe despite the small quirks we noticed. One standout feature was the terrace that beckoned for quiet moments overlooking the lively street—a perfect spot for sipping coffee made from the in-room coffee machine. Though not everything was perfect—like the hard towels and some less-than-friendly service—breakfast was served with a smile, which helped lift our spirits each morning. All in all, Palazzo Antonelli offers a lovely base to explore the rich culture of Monopoli, just mind the small bumps along the way!
