"Grote, mooie kamer in Polignano. Alle basisbehoeften zijn aanwezig. De jacuzzi is zeker een pluspunt! Gemakkelijk in gebruik en leuk op het terras. De badkamer is wat aan de kleine kant, kan voor sommigen misschien een probleem zijn. Wandelafstand naar oude stad. Wij hadden wat moeilijkheden met het vinden van de ingang maar na even wachten en contact kwam Valeria ten hulp met de sleutel! Wij raden het zeker aan. Ontbijt zou het nóg net dat tikkeltje beter maken. Parkeren kan gemakkelijk in de...

"We had a wonderful stay at Tre Le Mura! Matteo was incredibly attentive, kind, and helpful throughout our stay. The place is absolutely beautiful, and the room was surprisingly quiet, even though it’s located right above a very lively and busy bar. The location is perfect, especially if you want to be close to Grotta Palazzese and explore the area on foot. Everything was just wonderful, and I would definitely stay here again without hesitation. I highly recommend Tre Le Mura — a thousand times...

Top Gelso Hotel Reviews

Hotel Majesty

10/10 Excellent

"Très bien et bon déjeuner"

Suite 10 - Home, Design & Spa

8/10 Good

"It is located very close to the city center which makes it convenient to walk to and from the hotel anytime. The staff are very friendly and helpful especially Erico who gave us very good information where to eat, what to do and when. Their breakfast buffet was also delicious. The one bedroom suite itself is very spacious. The bed and the shower area are clean. However there seems to be a breakdown in the maintenance of the property. The modern light switches do not work. Its to control the AC. And the sofa which we saw first when we entered is in disaray and had body fluid stains. The chair inside the bedroom also had body fluid stains. They did remove the covers to wash it after I informed them but were never put back on until we checked out. I would recommend their hotel but they seriously need to focus on the maintenance and upkeep of the property."

Palazzo Indelli

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful experience at Palazzo Indelli. The room was very clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the location was perfect, right in the heart of the historic area of Monopoli. The hotel is surrounded by great restaurants and has a beautiful, lively atmosphere. I also really appreciated all the help and kindness I received from the reception staff. They were very welcoming and made my stay even more enjoyable. I truly enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend Palazzo Indelli to anyone visiting Monopoli."

Don Ferrante - Dimore di Charme

10/10 Excellent

"The room we had ( Carlos v) was in an excellent location looking out to the see and harbourside from balcony and terrace. The cushions on terrace are fading from a season in the sun but apart from this fantastic. The room was serviced daily with bed changes etc. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant was really good although you have to navigate some steep narrow steps up there. The view from the restaurant is brilliant."
