Villa Apollonia B&B Monopoli

Review by hotel critic

During my recent stay at Villa Apollonia B&B, I discovered a charming retreat tucked away in the serene countryside of Puglia. The hosts, Alberto and Gina, exemplify true Italian hospitality - welcoming, attentive, and always going the extra mile to ensure a memorable experience. The property boasts traditional trulli structures, adding a unique touch to the accommodation.The room was comfortable with modern amenities including air conditioning and free Wi-Fi, ensuring a pleasant stay. The breakfast served by Gina was a highlight, featuring a delicious focaccia and a rare treat of bacon and eggs. The outdoor dining area provided a lovely spot to enjoy the morning sun while savoring a freshly brewed cup of coffee.While the villa offers a peaceful setting for relaxation, guests should note that a car is essential for exploring the surrounding area. The option of a paid airport shuttle service could enhance the convenience for travelers without a vehicle. The seasonal outdoor pool and garden area are ideal for unwinding after a day of sightseeing.In terms of luxury versus value, Villa Apollonia B&B strikes a balance. The personalized attention from the hosts and the serene ambiance create a sense of exclusivity, while the affordability of the stay makes it a wise choice for budget-conscious travelers seeking a taste of authentic Italian hospitality. Whether you're looking for a laid-back retreat or a base to explore Puglia's wonders, this charming villa offers a harmonious blend of comfort and value.
