Santa Maria 24

We stayed at Santa Maria 24 during our family trip through Italy, and it turned out to be one of the absolute highlights of our journey. We had the city view room for four on the fourth floor, and it was perfect—spacious, spotless, and really comfortable. We loved being right above the main square, where you could hear the soft hum of the piazza and the hotel’s restaurant below—it gave us such a great sense of the town’s energy, but never felt too loud or busy. The rooftop terrace was another favorite spot for us. The views of the sea and old town were incredible, and it was the perfect place to relax in the sun while the kids took a breather. Breakfast each morning was a real treat—plenty of fresh, high-quality choices, with delicious homemade pastries and savory dishes that clearly had a lot of care put into them. The team also thought of all the little extras that made a big difference: they arranged a complimentary transfer to and from the parking garage, packed us takeaway breakfast boxes on our last morning when we had to leave early, and even provided beach towels, a bag, and an umbrella to use during our stay. It made heading to the beach with kids so much simpler and stress-free. On our last night, we had dinner at the hotel’s restaurant downstairs, and it was such a great way to end our stay—amazing food, great service, and just a few steps from our room. We’ve visited Rome, Sorrento, Amalfi, and Matera on this trip, but Monopoli really captured our hearts, and a huge part of that was the warm hospitality at Santa Maria 24. Sandrine and her team were so kind and welcoming—we felt right at home. If you’re visiting Monopoli, don’t think twice—Santa Maria 24 is truly special.

Based on beautiful pics on the website and great rating from fellow visitors, our expectations were high. In the reviews, especially the breakfast was highly praised. When we got there, we were told it's low season and there is no breakfast. I think this should be made clear beforehand because this can be one of the main reasons to choose you - or not to choose you. Now if you check TripAdvisor (or any other online resource) you say breakfast is available, and it even says so in the brochure that has been placed in the apartment. If that is not the case throughout the year, please don't give misleading information. We had the sea view apartment which was fine, clean and spacious, but I would not call it luxury when it comes to the interior, furniture, bathroom or any overall impression. It was fine, but it is not luxury. In the building, there was also some wear and tear, especially in the corridors with dents and stains on the walls. Restaurant serving dinner was very nice with professional staff, good local food and live music on Sundays.

We booked two apartments with access to our own private terrace on the roof. Beautiful building, staff excellent, on site restaurant was fabulous and breakfast the best we have ever had, such a choice of fresh dishes, homemade savouries and sweets, wonderful. Apartments are spotless, position is lovely in the heart of the Old Town, beautifully finished with great attention to detail. Staff in reception and restaurant were so professional and friendly. Great choice!

We stayed at the Santa Maria 24 for three nights. It was bright and modern tucked into a historic beautiful town- along the water. We felt cool in the air conditioning and enjoyed the small kitchen to have snacks and coffee. The breakfast buffet was incredible with fresh pastries, fruits, and many other options. Everyone that works at this hotel it’s very welcoming and accommodating. Also, they have a lovely dinner that you can have in the courtyard! There is a great detail in every turn. 10/10!!

These luxury apartments are amazing! The staff is extremely responsive, very respectful, and go above and beyond to accommodate their guests. Francesco and Rocco were both fabulous. Our bus to Monopoli arrived much later than we anticipated, but they continued to stay in touch with us to request status updates and understand when they needed to pick us. The rooms are all clean, big, and very modern - very beautiful and no complaints.The breakfast spread was beyond our expectations, offering everything from eggs and bacon to focaccia and smoked salmon. Finally, the location of this particular hotel is key. Our room had a view of the beautiful Adriatic Sea, and we were in the heart of Monopoli’s historic center. I would definitely stay at this hotel again! It exceeded our expectations in every way! The last thing I’ll mention is that the hotel was located a 15 minute walk from the Monopoli train station. Super easy and super convenient. Just do it!

Felt like home We had a wonderful stay I can’t say enough good things about the staff, food and location, I will return for sure.
