  La excelencia en Monopoli

  En este pequeño puerto del Adriático, encontré unos de los mejores hoteles que he visto, La Masseria Donnaloia, es una antigua granja refaccionada y transformada en un hotel de lujo, donde lo moderno y lo antigua combinan de una manera fascinante. Es la segunda vez que tengo oportunidad de disfrutarlo. Su cocina es de lo mejor. Su comedor, era el antiguo establo de la granja! Me encantan los mejillones con arroz que preparan. Todo es muy recomendable,,habitaciones abovedadas, con paredes rústicas y camas de hierro forjado, piscina, sauna, gimnasio, hasta las bicicletas gratuitas para recorrer el lugar. No es barato, pero, creo que nadie saldrá defraudado. Monopoli no tiene aeropuerto, y está a unos 40 km, más o menos de Bari, que si lo tiene.Hay mucha historia en esta ciudad que, por su lugar estratégico, siempre fue muy disputada y convergen muchas culturas. Vale la pena descubrirlas. Su Catedral es imperdible!!

  Oasis en una costa peculiar

  Hotel particular, con sabor, gran personal y comida. Bien ubicado en una zona de costa poco espectacular, pero con visitas de mucha pegada(Polignano, Monopoli, Alberobello, Ostuni..).Recomendable para ubicarse y recorrer la zona.

  Not the quiet oasis you might initially imagine

  Not the quiet oasis you might initially imagine Booked this hotel with my wife and 3 small children in July for 5 nights. The hotel location is a little remote and is set in the quiet, peaceful, Puglian countryside. That said, you could assume that the hotel would be a quiet oasis well, you would be wrong. On 3 of the nights we were there and without any advance courtesy warning or any consideration given to the paying hotel guests. It became evident that this hotel caters for lots of small private parties we returned to our hotel room only to find huge music systems being set up directly outside our hotel room which resulted in us having to endure loud music blaring out to the early hours of the morning. The hotel needs to think more seriously about it's guests when agreeing to such events. Given that this is a people orientated business - the staff were generally unfriendly, they never smiled and left you with the impression that they didnt want you there.

  This is not a genuine 5* hotel

  Our hotel room was old fashioned, the fixtures and fittings were basic, old and looked very well used. The standard of cleanliness was poor - particularly in the bathroom and not up to the standards you could reasonably expect from a 5* hotel. The shower cubical was so small. That if you accidently dropped the soap whilst showering, it would be near-on impossible to pick the soap back up. So much so, that on one of the mornings my husband was taking a shower when the glass shower door suddenly came off its track. The situation could have been extremely serious and we urgently had to summon help to reposition the shower door back onto its rail. This hotel stay was a disappointment and represented poor value for money; it did not provide the quality of furnishings nor most importantly the guest experience that you would expect from a genuine 5* hotel.

  Shocking experience: The Glass Shower Door Exploded - I received a 550 euro bill!!

  Myself and my family were in Puglia for my brothers wedding. I booked a 2 night stay at this hotel for myself, wife and 16-month old little boy. Regrettably, I cant say that I had a great experience during my stay here. On the eve of the wedding my parents had arranged with the hotel for a welcome drinks reception to be served at 19.00pm. This was for approximately 40 of our close friends and family that had travelled to Puglia to attend the wedding. Shortly before this drinks reception, I stepped into my hotel room shower and as I touched the glass shower door the glass door SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED, SHATTERING AND SPRAYING A MASS OF SHARP SHARDS OF GLASS EVERYWHERE. I sustained several cuts to my hands, legs, feet etc. In fact, I was surrounded by so much glass, I was unable to step out of the shower. It was fortunate that my wife was in the bedroom as she was able to summon urgent help. A close member of my family removed the baby from the hotel room and went to the reception desk. UNBELIEVEABLY and WITHOUT ANY EXAGGERATION within 15 MINUTES from the incident occurring and WHILST I WAS STILL STRANDED in the shower, surrounded by inches of sharp shards of glass (and our 40 guests were arriving and assembling in the hotel courtyard for the drinks reception) The total FOCUS and PRIORITY of the hotels reception was to PREPARE and PRESENT AN INVOICE WHICH DEMANDED A PAYMENT of 550 euros. This demand for 550 euros was to cover the replacement cost of the shattered glass shower door and was presented to my parents and without me having even the most very basic or relevant information about the shower glass i.e. I had no clue as to how old the shower door was nor when it had been fitted? Whether the door had been properly maintained? If the glass had sustained any previous damage? Whether the glass was compliant, conforming with the relevant required safety and building standards? Given the urgency and severity of the situation no First Aider attended the hotel room to provide any assessment, assistance or advice. The only member of staff to enter the hotel room at the time of the incident was the hotel porter. After the incident and using tweezers, my wife removed approximately 30 shards of glass which were imbedded in my hands, legs and feet. That evening, the hotel was fully booked, so we could not be relocated to an alternative hotel room. In view of this, I was ASSURED that whilst we were out of the room arrangements would be made for our hotel room to be thoroughly and spotlessly cleaned. Several hours later, I returned to the hotel room only to find that a shower curtain had been erected in place of the glass door which implied that the hotel considered it safe to use the bathing facilities in the room. On close inspection I could see that there were still numerous small splinters of glass scattered in the bathroom, shower and in the bedroom. This served to demonstrate an absolute and total disregard for my personal wellbeing, that of my immediate family in particular the safety of my 16 month old little boy. NOT ONCE DID ANY MEMBER OF THE HOTEL STAFF SPEAK DIRECTLY WITH ME TO FIND OUT HOW I WAS, WHAT OR HOW THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED. The following morning, we checked out of the hotel as we had previously planned to do. About 3 days later, I first started to feel unwell. On the 4th day, I sought advice from a local pharmacy in Savelletri as one of the cuts to my hands started to look infected. On the 5th day the symptoms became significantly worse, so much so, I attended the local hospital in Monopoli and was prescribed medication. All the while during this period and at this same time the hotel was still INSISTENT and DEMANDING full payment of the 550 euros for the shattered glass door. A few days after this, I returned home. Unfortunately, during the flight, I felt extremely unwell. The flight crew made arrangements for a paramedic and ambulance to meet the airplane on landing. I was assessed and transferred directly from the airplane (by ambulance) to the nearest hospital to the airport (which was located some distance from my home) I was initially admitted to this airport hospital for 5 nights before transferring to a hospital nearer to my home where I was admitted for a further night and 2 days. During this time, I received treatment for suspected SEPSIS. All these pictures were taken after the room had been spotlessly cleaned!
