L'Eden bar - pizzeria In Monopoli

14/08/2024: We recently spent 6 nights in two different accommodations in Casina dei Preti. The property is beautiful, the restaurant is in a great setting, the pool is gorgeous. The rooms were simple and fairly functional (nothing fancy). A properly working TV would have been nice though. The mattresses were not so comfortable unfortunately, but doable. The ground are well maintained and you feel like in a little oasis. For me somehow disappointing was the breakfast ; the selection was quite limited, fruit was often either not really ready to eat at or already old. Stuff was not refilled automatically. One lady at breakfast was significant more efficient at breakfast while the other person on the other days gave us the feeling that he was even bothered when we asked for a coffee. For me a no-go. Dinner was ok, but nothing special. Bottom line, the place was nice, location close to Conversano, Monopoli and Polignano was amazing, I would recommend it despite some negative points. Casina dei Preti still has some good improvement potential, if some love and warmth would be added, especially during breakfast. It was ok for kids, but I feel it was slightly better suited for couples and families with older kids.

10/08/2024: Agriturismo at its best at this stunning farm. Italian hospitality and generosity are at the heart of this family business: the setting is beautiful, our room was tastefully decorated, the bathroom was a little impractical but squeaky clean, the three course meal delicious and the cook made sure everything was vegan for me during our stay.
