Great Find
We had a fantastic stay. Check in with Ivo was thorough, he gave us loads of useful recommendations & was on hand throughout via what’s ap. House is clean and generally well equipped. There were a couple of things I thought were missing..chopping board, ice tray, coat hangers (we asked for more & got them next day) & for me the bathroom lacked space/shelves for toiletries. Be careful on the narrow, stone stairs (3 flights), especially the bottom step which isn’t illuminated like the others. 3 of us fell off this step. (Sober !!). Roof terrance with its views is the star of the house (but be mindful it gets too windy for a parasol so very little shade) Location is perfect for access to old town/ shops/ restaurants..Cars are not allowed but a taxi can drop you off near by (an easy 5 minute walk.); Train station & bus stops are around a 20 min walk. We found the tourist information office really helpful with transport & trip suggestions. The only real negative for us was there was building work being done in the house next door which started early. Cant be helped but did force us out more & earlier than we had planned. Overall, I would recommend San Salvatore House.

Great location
We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and in a great location. The listing was some what miss leading as each bedroom is on a different level of the house and kitchen and roof top we’re up 3-4 Flights of steps. I was traveling with my elderly family and was unaware of the flights of steps prior to our stay. Listing also stated there was a TV which there was not Finally, the property is inside the walled city and thus you can not drive to it which was not much of a problem and made it a great location and easily walkable

Perfect location
The apartment is shown as posted. Some people might find the open layout an issue. It was fine for us. The heavy draperies closed off the 2 bed rooms. The air conditioners worked great with the draperies closed. The entrance hall is the ground floor. 2nd floor is a bedroom. 3rd floor is a bedroom. 4th floor is the kitchen. The roof top terrace was fantastic and on the 5th floor It had a table and chairs, a sofa, 2 club chairs and a coffe table. The sea wall to the promenade was in front of us.I would definitely book again. Michele was helpful and sttentive to our request. The place is modern and well kept.

Wonderful rooftop views
The house was clean, fresh and well equipped. The roof top view was amazing. We had a very thorough check in with Ivo and his recommendations for places to dine and visit were excellent. A highlight was a visit to St Stefano Lido, a private beach a short journey by bus. The second visit was by taxi, as buses stopped 15 September. All recommended restaurants, which included gluten free, and bars were fantastic. A couple of things to note, the house is a traditional lay out on several floors and the stairs have some tight turns. Worth it for the views of the sea and watching the world go by. If you like a firm bed, then you will be very comfortable. We had a great time at San Salvatore House and would not hesitate to recommend.

Wonderful!
We had a wonderful 11 night stay in Monopoli. The apartment is superb and the location is perfect for the sea and eating out. It is great having each bedroom with an ensuite. The kitchen is well equipped. The roof terrace has the most amazing, uninterrupted view and is very comfortable. There is a lot of stairs but in our opinion they are good stairs. We had no problems with them and our daughter, son-in-law and grandson of 17 months joined us for a few days and they had no problems either. Our host kindly let us check in early and leave our luggage until later when we were leaving. The Prosecco and beer were also very much appreciated. Thank you! Overall, we certainly highly recommend this apartment.

We absolutely loved this property. It’s probably the best spot in Monopoli to stay in, and that view is priceless. The balcony has a dining table and comfortable patio set. We are a very picky with the air conditioning and even though we were there during a heat wave (over 40 degrees outside) the indoor temperature remained very comfortable in every room throughout our stay. It had all amenities we needed, except for washing machine, but that was already stated in the description. The owner was very helpful with his recommendations. The apartment is on 5 floors, which could make it difficult for people with mobility issues, but it wasn’t an issue for us. Also there was no television, again not an issue for us, but worth mentioning. We would love to come back and we highly recommend this place!

Salvatore by the Sea
Amazing location right in the heart of the central historic Monopoli. The property worked well for 2 couples with separate bedrooms and en-suites. The view from the terrace over the Adriatic Sea and the sunsets is beautiful. Be aware that this is a traditional apartment with a room on each of 3 floors plus a terrace so there are many steps! The only improvement opportunity is that the kitchen was not as well equipped as we would prefer and there was no shade available on the terrace. However - if eating out is what you like then the location is perfect for many restaurants. The water is literally 15m away and you can swim off the rocks or take a short walk to the nearby beach. The property owner was excellent and gave us lots of information and was responsive to questions.

Beautiful Monopoli
Check in was excellent. Ivo gave us good tips on the area and restaurants. When we did contact him, we always got a quick response. Apartment was clean and well appointed. We were disappointed to see there was no barbecue/parasol/chairs around roof terrace table, and cushion missing, as these are clearly in the promotional blurb. We all felt that these photos should be updated as it did seem that they appeared quite misleading. Also, our friends shower filled very quickly and could’ve overflowed if they weren’t careful. After contacting Ivo he told us the cleaner dealt with this after every guest departure, and we should clean it out ourselves…. It was full up with hair etc, that clearly had been building up for a while, not just from a few days into our stay, which we decided was really unacceptable to ask the guests to do their own DIY. The air con was another issue. It clearly didn’t work, Ivo explained the system, but even having two quite capable men in our party they couldn’t seem to get it to operate. Thankfully it wasn’t too hot so it wasn’t a huge problem. The apartment is in a great location, and very central.

SUPERB
Discovering Puglia one can’t find a better town than Monopoli and in the city this house! Wonderful location, superb view to both the city and the see. It’s in the center, but still very quiet and calm. The terrace is the heaven itself. The rooms are comfortable and the cleanness is maximal. The only problem is that the rooms are not separated with doors, but only with courtains. They are on different floors, so it’s not so bad, but I would suggest to make walls and doors to make it more private. Ivo, the host was amazing!!! He was extremely helpful and kind. We will surely return, because we can’t imagine a better place to discover Puglia from. Absolutely highly recommended! Btw. The beach is about 3 minutes walk and you will always find a place for your car in 10 min walk distance. Greatest experience we’ve ever had. Don’t search other place if you’ve found this!

The pictures do not do it justice, great location!
I have used VRBO enough to know when a picture is taken to enhance a view or the size of a room. This is NOT the case here. The pictures do not do this apartment justice. We spent many hours on the terrace, it was lovely. Note that the bedrooms don't have doors, just thick curtains, but this really shouldn't put you off because each bedroom is on its own floor with it's own bathroom. Amazing location that made it easy to get around old-town. Finally, we locked ourselves out of the place, but we were helped with no fuss; don't forget your keys!

We LOOOOVED this apartment! The roof deck overlooking the sea was only enhanced by the ancient church bell tower next door! Amazing! We started every morning on the terrace enjoying the peaceful sounds of the sea...we enjoyed evening cocktails on the roof seeing the sunset and the hearing the swallows fly all around. Just walk outside and lay in the sun on the rocks and take a dip in the sea. Conveniently located to everything. The host was very friendly and super helpful. Lots of space on each level. I highly recommend this apartment!! We loved Monopoli

Fabulous! Beautiful apartment. Great location in old historic part of Monopoli. Modern contemporary accommodation with great air con. It’s the whole of a 3 story townhouse so as others have mentioned there’s lots of stairs. No problem for our group and the pay off is the fantastic roof terrace with views out to sea. Try a swim off the rocks when it’s a calm sea. Follow the locals for the best entry point into the water . They go in most mornings when the sea is flat. Had a great time. Ivo our host is very helpful with tips on where to eat etc.

Fantastic, Fun stay
Our party consisted of 6 adults so the layout of the rooms was perfect. Yes, as other people have stated there are steps to deal with. But, That is Italy. The paid parking just outside the city walls provided us a place to leave our rental for only 8 Euro per day. There was always a spot. The property is just as the pictures show. Great air conditioning, which was needed as the temps were high with high humidity, Good internet on all floors. Perfect location for not only exploring Monopoli but the surrounding points of interest. If we return to Puglia I would saty here again.

May half term with the family
There were 8 of us staying at the apartment with the children on a sofa bed in the kitchen area. The house is in a prime position and patio has stunning views across the sea. The patio is perfect for sundowners and even family meals. . Ivo checked us into the property and was very helpful. He also gave us many recommendations to eat out. The closest beaches are not great but we would recommend Lido Bambu about 8 km away. We loved Monopoli and will definitely visit the area again. James

Just wow!
The whole.process of booking, checking in, staying, and checking out was a delight. Great communication throughout. When we arrived later than expected due to flight and bus delays, Ivo picked us up at the train station and gave us a tour of the town before arriving at this apartment in the old town of Monopoli and since it was raining when we checked us out he drove us to The station once again. The apartment is clean and we'll equipped and yes, as others have said, there's plenty of stairs...but this is Italy...stairs are almost always a given.. The roofdeck is absolutely breathtaking. Recommend getting up early to watch the sunrise over the Adratic at least once, and watch the fishermen coming and going and enjoy what I began to think of as the second city of Monopoli--the one that takes place on the rooftops..take a look around and see neighbors cooking and eating out, hanging their laundry, watching the sunrise along with you. Monopli is a beautiful town and this apartment is situated perfectly to allow you to enjoy everything the town has to offer. Thank you, Bio for your kindnesses.

Fantastic location and the view superb.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Monopoli. The Old Town is delightful. The local people made us very welcome. The house is very tall which is typical of the area. The bedrooms are on the ground, first and second floor and the kitchen/dining room is on the third floor (there are over 50 steps to the kitchen and 60 to the roof terrace - so not for those with mobility issues or heart problems!) It does have very efficient air-conditioning. The roof terrace was magical and does have the superb views to the sea. The beach is very close by. The free parking we used is near Via Procaccia, which is a few minutes from this property just passed the beach area. There is no wi-fi at the property and phone reception is intermittent. But local cafes and bars have free wi-fi. I would suggest that you let the owner Ivo know well in advance what your arrival times are and you definitely need sat nav to find your locations. The best dining experience we had was at the Gallo Nero (by the beach). It was lovely food and very, very good value - the service was very good too.
