Beach holiday of our dreams in Monopoli
On arrival we were over the moon with the area and location which is quiet and a little back from the main tourist drag. The flat itself is huge with all the facilities we needed and more. It's 4 minutes walk from the beautiful Porto Rosso Beach and Monopoli old town is also within easy walking distance. This takes about 20 minutes but we never had any time concerns as the route along the coastline is so idyllic to walk along.
The only reason I'm not giving the property a 10 is my wife found the mattress in the main bedroom a bit hard but I didn't notice that and was very comfortable. The second bedroom has a supremely comfy mattress and no doubt the third bedroom does too. By the way, bedrooms 2 and 3 are interconnected and would be better suited to two young children within part of a family rather than two separate adult couples.

Disappointing Stay Despite an Excellent Location
La Gemma Rossa Monopoli has a great location and a lot of potential, but unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The apartment is only one block from the beach and about a 10-minute walk from Monopoli’s beautiful old town. Those are easily its strongest features.
The biggest issue is that the apartment is advertised as having three bedrooms, but in our experience it does not function as a true three-bedroom apartment. Two of the beds are in the same room separated only by a divider. Privacy is also a major problem with the bathrooms. There is approximately a four-foot open space at the ceiling between the two bathrooms, meaning conversations and bathroom sounds easily carry between them. The second bathroom also does not have a normal shower—only a handheld shower.
The beds were extremely uncomfortable, with only one pillow per bed. There were no blankets, just sheets. The air conditioning was average at best, and the hallways and elevator were not air-conditioned. Don’t charge premium rates and then not give basics for bedding
The kitchen was also surprisingly bare for a rental apartment. There was essentially one plate and one cup per person and very few useful kitchen supplies. For a property intended for families or groups, it should be much better equipped. 4 cups, 4 plates, 4 forks do not make a usable kitchen for a family
Parking in the area is difficult. Be aware that blue-lined spaces require payment, while white-lined spaces are free.
The rental is managed through Monholiday. Another concern was receiving a DocuSign agreement the day before arrival requiring acceptance of damage costs and additional rules. At that point, the reservation was already paid and non-refundable. If these conditions are mandatory, they should be disclosed and agreed to during the original booking process, not immediately before arrival.
The location is excellent and the apartment has considerable potential, but the overall experience feels undermined by cost-cutting on basic amenities, comfort, and privacy. With better beds, bedding, kitchen supplies, bathroom privacy, and attention to guest comfort, this could be a very good rental.

Location was great and it was very clean, and kitchen was great even if we did not use it.
The place was very clean, location was great. Not a 3 bedroom. Main room was great. 2nd room has a little bed smaller than a single bed, no turning around space and extremely hard, not comfortable at all (should not be considered as a bed) Needed to sleep on the sofa. 3rd room had a double bed and comfortable but for 2 children is good. A/C did not reach all the way to those 2 connecting rooms because 2nd A/C did not work so we needed to high blast the A/C in the living room/kitchen section but made it too cold to sit there because is it.
Not a 3 bedroom. Does not sleep 5 adults. Main room was great. 2nd room has a little bed, smaller than a single bed, no turning around space and extremely hard, not comfortable at all (should not be considered as a bed) Needed to sleep on the sofa. 3rd is connected to 2nd room and had a double bed, comfortable but for 2 children is good or small thin adults.

Mieliśmy przyjemność wynajmować to mieszkanie w Monopoli i mogę szczerze powiedzieć, że był to strzał w dziesiątkę! Lokalizacja jest świetna– zaledwie kilka minut spacerem dzieliło nas od piaszczystej plaży 10 minut od urokliwego starego miasta.
Samo mieszkanie jest bardzo przestronne, jasne i urządzone ze smakiem. Dużym atutem są – pralka, zmywarka, klimatyzacja – wszystko działało bez zarzutu i znacznie podniosło komfort codziennego pobytu.
To dobre miejsce zarówno na dłuższy pobyt, jak i wakacyjny wypad. Gorąco polecam każdemu, kto szuka wygody, świetnej lokalizacji i prawdziwego klimatu południowych Włoch!
