Tucked into the historic centre of Monopoli, this apartment earns its reputation on the rooftop alone – a bamboo-shaded terrace with sun loungers and space for long alfresco meals as the town's rooftops and sky stretch out before you. Down on the balcony, the street scene below keeps things lively at almost any hour. Castello Carlo V is an eleven-minute walk, Porto Vecchio is around nine minutes away, and the old town's whitewashed lanes are reachable in eight. The train station is close too, with direct links to Polignano a Mare and Bari.
