  Quaint and spacious units

  31 May 2026

  Santa Maria 24 is a beautiful collection of spacious apartments with a lovely little restaurant downstairs for breakfast and apertivo/ dinner. It’s tucked in a quiet part of the Centro storico and about 15-20 min walk to the train station. Units either face a small square or the sea ( these have stunning views ). Could not recommend this accommodation enough. Highlights were Guisy/Francesco at the reception who were super sweet and ready to help with any questions/concerns. Pick up/drop off with the little red ‘24’ car from the train station was also a delight!

  Not entirely as expected

  19 Nov 2025

  Based on beautiful pics on the website and great rating from fellow visitors, our expectations were high. In the reviews, especially the breakfast was highly praised. When we got there, we were told it's low season and there is no breakfast. I think this should be made clear beforehand because this can be one of the main reasons to choose you - or not to choose you. Now if you check TripAdvisor (or any other online resource) you say breakfast is available, and it even says so in the brochure that has been placed in the apartment. If that is not the case throughout the year, please don't give misleading information.We had the sea view apartment which was fine, clean and spacious, but I would not call it luxury when it comes to the interior, furniture, bathroom or any overall impression. It was fine, but it is not luxury. In the building, there was also some wear and tear, especially in the corridors with dents and stains on the walls.Restaurant serving dinner was very nice with professional staff, good local food and live music on Sundays. Gianluca L, at Santa Maria 24 - Luxury Apartments, responded to this review La ringraziamo per aver condiviso il suo feedback, per noi è sempre molto prezioso.Ci teniamo a precisare che, indipendentemente da quanto riportato su piattaforme esterne o materiali informativi, la tariffa da lei prenotata era una “room only” (solo camera). Durante la bassa stagione, infatti, questa è l’unica opzione disponibile, pertanto la colazione non era inclusa né prevista, a prescindere da altre indicazioni.Per quanto riguarda il concetto di “lusso”, comprendiamo che si tratti di una percezione soggettiva. Le fotografie presenti sul nostro sito sono assolutamente veritiere e rappresentano fedelmente gli ambienti: la tipologia scelta corrisponde esattamente a quanto mostrato online.In merito agli spazi comuni, come scale e corridoi, desideriamo specificare che si tratta di aree condominiali, condivise con altre strutture ricettive che non fanno parte della nostra gestione. A differenza nostra, queste non offrono servizi come il transfer gratuito da/per parcheggio o stazione, né il servizio bagagli fino al terzo piano (circa 50 scalini). Purtroppo, il passaggio frequente e il trasporto autonomo dei bagagli da parte di altri ospiti può causare segni di usura sulle pareti. In ogni caso, effettuiamo regolarmente lavori di manutenzione e tinteggiatura sia degli interni che degli esterni, generalmente nel mese di gennaio.Siamo invece molto felici che abbia apprezzato il nostro ristorante, il personale e l’atmosfera.Ci dispiace non aver soddisfatto pienamente le sue aspettative e la ringraziamo ancora per le sue osservazioni. Saremo lieti di accoglierla nuovamente: da questa stagione, la nostra colazione è disponibile tutto l’anno e ci farebbe davvero piacere offrirgliela.Un cordiale salutoPatricia LeograndeGeneral Manager

  Magical stay by the sea!

  06 Nov 2025

  Our stay at Santa Maria 24 in Monopoli was truly memorable. The view from our top-floor suite was absolutely breathtaking—worth every step of the climb. Service throughout our stay was exceptional. When we arrived in Monopoli by car, we were given clear, detailed instructions on where to meet a driver and park in a nearby garage. From there, we were whisked through the winding, narrow streets in the cutest little car, right to the doorstep of the property.Our luggage was carried all the way up (no elevator, so it’s a five-flight climb), and once we reached the suite, we were rewarded with panoramic views that felt straight out of a postcard.The only drawback was an occasional odor that appeared in the room. When we mentioned it to management, they immediately knew what we meant—apparently, when the wind shifts, a smell can rise through the old plumbing system. They’ve tried everything to resolve it, but it’s a quirk of the historic building. Fortunately, it did go away, but it was a bit off-putting at first.Aside from that, everything else was fantastic. Breakfast each morning felt luxurious—homemade cakes, eggs, cheeses, yogurt, fresh juice, cappuccinos, and more. And the village of Monopoli itself was utterly enchanting, like something out of a fairy tale.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return if we’re lucky enough to visit again. Patricia Leogrande, Direttore generale at Santa Maria 24 - Luxury Apartments, responded to this review Dear Guest,thank you very much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review of your stay at Santa Maria 24.We are truly delighted that you enjoyed the panoramic views from your suite, the charm of Monopoli, and the overall experience with our transfer service and luggage assistance. It is especially rewarding to know that your arrival felt smooth and welcoming, and that our breakfast offerings contributed to making your stay feel memorable and indulgent.We truly appreciate your understanding. Santa Maria 24 is a historic building in the heart of the old town and, thanks to its authenticity and original structure, it retains a unique charm. At the same time, we are constantly and carefully committed to ongoing maintenance and continuous improvements, in order to always ensure the highest level of comfort and the best possible experience for our guests.We are very pleased that this did not affect your overall experience and that you would consider returning in the future. It would be our pleasure to welcome you back for another stay in Monopoli.Warm regards,Santa Maria 24 team
