Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Once owned by the Baron of Monopoli, this 19th-century villa is now a family-friendly holiday home. Spending quality time together is easy, thanks to the terrace complete with a swimming pool and large summer kitchen – your host can arrange for a chef to take charge of the cooking. Inside, expect original features and furnishings in keeping with the age of the place – while charming, it's a style that won’t be to everyone’s liking. When you fancy exploring, Rosso Beach and Monopoli’s old town are a fifteen-minute drive away.
