Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Seeking a seaside escape on Puglia's coast? This apartment, just 20 metres from the water and Spiaggia Cala Vecchia, gets full marks for location. Even better are the views on offer. A shared terrace is the perfect spot to soak up the scenery, including vistas of the old Monopoli Cathedral. You'll also have a small private balcony off the bedroom where you can perch with a coffee and watch the waves roll in. Two further guests will kip on a sofa bed. Although it’s somewhat simple in design, this is a practical pad ideal for those planning to spend most of their time exploring.
