This spacious and newly-renovated 4 bed, 5 bath apartment is on the first and grandest floor of what was previously a "Casa signorile" in Monopoli's centro storico = the oldest and most popular part of town for visitors. Come live amongst locals with the beach, bars, boutiques and restaurants just minutes away! You'll love the mix of architectural character and antiques with contemporary features for your comfort such as new bathrooms, powerful air con, super fast wifi 6 internet and huge TVs. You will know the moment you walk in that this elegant and stately space was intended to impress! From the double height rooms to the classic vaulted ceiling architecture, the local tufo stone and the spacious room dimensions, the full height windows and the ornate balconies that look over the street below, you can't miss the sense of history! Recently fully renovated to a high standard, the apartment features modern bathrooms with good water pressure, rainfall showers and fan ventilation; kitchen with Nespresso coffee machine and kettle, induction hob, stone worktops, dishwasher and American fridge freezer with filtered water and ice dispenser, plus kitchenette; high speed wi-fi and large TVs with Disney+ (giving you access to everything from Disney classic films, modern day favourites such as Frozen and Encanto, exclusives such as Hamilton and all your favourite Marvel epics too); air conditioning in every bedroom and living room; full gas central heating and boiler with pressurised water system, all alongside a curated selection of authentic locally sourced antique furniture and fittings. Primo: All on one level sleeps 8+2 and features a dramatic living room, a second living room (foldaway beds available on request), modern kitchen diner, separate kitchenette, 4 beautiful bedrooms - 2 with contemporary four poster bed and balcony and 2 with en suite shower/bath rooms - plus 3 further shower rooms. One of the en suite bedrooms is designed with adults and kids in mind with its own TV, en suite bathroom with bidet and mini tub - don't forget to ask if you'd like the disco light activated! - giant bamboo floor bed for a sleepover vibe and blackout blinds for a longer lie-in! The balconies found to the front of the building overlook the street below - the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee and croissant, an evening glass of wine or perhaps to while away the hours with a good book while you top up your tan. Having the use of the rear of the apartment, away from the street, away from the sun's glare, gives you access to "il ritiro" (the retreat): the part of the building that its residents would go to for cool comfort to escape the heat of the day and the bustling town. The accommodation offers the attraction of being all on one floor, offering an easy and wonderfully social space and a greater level of practical comfort particularly to those with mobility issues or young children. The marble stairwell to the accommodation is wide and airy, unlike those found in most local buildings of its age, and while this communal space is looking a little tired, its an easy and comfortable walk no matter how many suitcases or children you're bringing with you! * Exciting new renovation * The entire first floor of a centuries-old mansion * Heart of centro storico * Less than 5 mins walk to the beach * 1 minute from bustling bars and restaurants * Vaulted tufo ceilings * Super comfy king size beds * Foldaway beds available on request * Large TVs with Disney+ * Travel cot, high chair and changing mat available on request * Balconies overlooking the street * American fridge freezer with chilled, filtered water + ice maker * Air con in every bedroom and living room * Nespresso coffee machines * Rainfall showers * Super fast Wi-fi 6 internet with dedicated desk * Washing machine * Dishwasher * Safe
