5-Star Hotels in Apulia, Italy

Very nice hotel, right by the sea. The room has a small balcony to see the sea blowing, very comfortable. Breakfast is on the sixth floor and it is also an unrivalled sea view. About ten minutes walk around, it is the central location of the local area. There are shopping malls, restaurants and bars, which is very lively. Take a taxi to the train station 8 euros.

This is Luxurious hotel with a setting that is out of a film. We were given a room on the 3rd floor with a gorgeous view looking out to the harbour. The restoration of this building and the surrounding old town has created a beautiful place to rest and be restored. The shopping and business of Bari is only 15 minutes away. We took the train from Bari and caught a bus that takes you directly outside the hotel. There are several nice restaurants in the area near to the hotel. Breakfast is ordered from the table. There are many options. The waiting staff at the restaurant are incredibly nice and will serve you as if you are royalty. Just outside the hotel you can watch the fisherman coming in with their catch and buy directly out from the boats. There are Benches there to sit, relax and look out to sea. There isn’t a huge amount to do in Molfetta just don’t miss going into the church next to the hotel. Put a coin in the slot next to the ‘presepe’ and magic will begin. Believe me it is quite the surprise!

We stayed here for two nights at the end of our 14 night trip around Puglia. The hotel was beautiful, our room was very spacious, there was a separate room with sofa beds, the main bedroom and the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was great. The hotel is in a great location, right in the heart of Monopoli and walking distance to all of the great restaurants and bars. The hotel has a rooftop terrace restaurant, we didn't eat there but we did sit up there to enjoy the late afternoon sun with a glass of wine, the view is beautiful. There is a nice small rooftop pool but unfortunately we didn't get time to use it. The staff were lovely, so helpful and gave us a map and highlighted the main things to see in Monopoli, they were also very helpful in helping us to park our car. Breakfast was fantastic, definitely the best of our trip, there was so much choice. It was served in a building a couple of doors down from the main hotel. We had an amazing stay at Don Ferrante. Initially we couldn't decide whether to stay in Monopoli or Poglinano, we visited Poglinano for a day which is beautiful but we were glad we chose to stay in Monopoli and at Don Ferrante, it was a lovely finish to our holiday and we will definitely return.

Our second visit to this hotel, the previous occasion being 5 years ago. Situated in the countryside about 5 miles from the nearest towns on a quiet country road making it the perfect tranquil location. The rooms consisting of a series of modern Truli buildings across the immaculate grounds, we were near the pool and a few minutes walk from the restaurant and reception. However on this occasion our stay was a little disappointing. Firstly when we went into our room (15) we noticed the bed cover was torn around the bottom. My wife decided to have a bath before going to dinner but unfortunately there was no bath plug ! So whilst my wife had a shower I had a look around the room and noted that the coat hanger next to the entrance door was hanging off the wall and loose. Going into the bathroom the towel rail by the sink was also hanging off. The hotel staff were helpful and found a bath plug the next day. The room was cleaned to a high standard every day. The breakfasts were quite good on the whole but there was no fresh orange juice during our stay. Evening meals with the half board arrangement had a very limited menu that changed only twice all week. The starters were basically the same every day and the main courses were just a variation on a theme . The English translation of the menu was not accurate and on one occasion was totally wrong which caused a huge fuss in the kitchen. The main courses were often served with no salad or veg, just a piece of fish or meat and not much more. I understand the hotel has changed hands in recent years but there are signs of costs being cut in certain areas, i.e. room maintenance and meals. However these are areas that shouldn't be skimped on and it took the edge off our stay this time. We have done the whole area now and the hotel is well situated to do so but we are unlikely to return again.
