B&B Portorosso

A four-star family-run B&B with sea-view apartments and rooms on the waterfront just outside the old town of Monopoli.

Why people love it

• Sea views. Guests mention large balconies with a table and chairs, and sea views from the apartments, the design apartment and the rooms.
• Location. It is on the seafront, a short walk to the old town, with two small free beaches about 50 and 100 meters away.
• Rocco and the hosts. Rocco is named for a warm welcome and fast communication. A returning guest in August 2026 called the stay brilliant.
• Clean, modern apartments. Several recent guests describe immaculate or recently renovated rooms cleaned daily.

Why they come back

"This is now the 3rd time we've stayed. It just keeps being brilliant."

The worst thing guests say

In July 2025 a guest reported blood on both mattresses, dirty walls and a smelly shower, and left a 1-star review. Other recent complaints are a sea view that was only a glimpse in August 2024, and a breakfast limited to croissants and coffee that disappointed a honeymoon couple in October 2024. Older reviews from 2018 to 2021 mention noise from the bars below and weak soundproofing.

Insider tips

• There is no car park on site.
