Hotel Don Ferrante Dimore Di Charme

Boutique Beach Hotel

Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 9.0
 

Hotel Don Ferrante - Dimore di Charme, a 5-star boutique retreat in Monopoli's historic heart, transforms a 16th-century fortress into a romantic haven perched on cliffs overlooking the Adriatic Sea.

The 13 suites and rooms, scattered across whitewashed stone buildings, exude timeless elegance with vaulted ceilings, handcrafted furnishings, and soft linens. Air-conditioned spaces feature flat-screen TVs, Nespresso machines, minibars, and private bathrooms with Ortigia toiletries, many opening to private balconies or terraces with sweeping sea views. Some suites, like the Madia, offer hydromassage baths, blending Puglia's rustic soul with modern luxury.

Locanda Don Ferrante, the rooftop restaurant open June to September, serves authentic Puglian cuisine—orecchiette with cime di rapa, grilled octopus with lemon, or burrata with heirloom tomatoes—paired with robust Primitivo wines or artisanal cocktails from the cliffside bar. A lavish buffet breakfast, brimming with fresh pastries, local cheeses, and farm eggs, is savoured in a 16th-century cellar or on the sea-view terrace, with 24-hour room service for intimate dining.

A small rooftop pool with hydromassage jets and a sunbathing area, framed by jasmine and prickly pears, invites serene relaxation, with private beach cove access nearby or a shuttle to Capitolo Beach. In-room massages and a 24-hour concierge arranging cooking classes, wine tastings, or Polignano a Mare boat trips enhance indulgence. Steps from Monopoli's cathedral, the hotel offers tuk-tuk transfers and free parking nearby.

Located 60 km from Brindisi Airport, Don Ferrante weaves Puglia's coastal heritage with sophisticated serenity, crafting an unforgettable escape for romantics and explorers.
