It wasn't a problem but you just need to be prepared for the steep stairs with your suitcase as there is no lift. However the staff were very helpful in assisting to take the luggage up and down the stairs.

Such a warm greeting from Riccardo and the delightful team at AC Caste. Unfortunately we were only staying for 1 night and had to leave early before we could experience the breakfast that I'd heard such great reviews. The B&B is in one of the best locations within Monopoli; and the room and view were beautiful and exceptionally clean, fresh and comfortable. The wonderful Host Riccardo kindly dropped us off at the train station in his charming Italian Ape (3 wheel mini vehicle) free of charge - incredible customer service.

It was all good!

C-caste First, the owners are wonderful and welcoming! I prefer to stay in lovely accommodations where owners are very much present! It is very easy to find too (very important when rolling luggage) as it is just inside the entry and exit to the old city of Monopoli by the little beach. Basically you enter into the city, turn left and the next right around the corner is the B&B. Only 7 rooms with a touch of modern and whimsy and pretty new- everything is freshly painted and sparkling. The owner, Ricardo, speaks perfect English and is native to Monopoli as is his is cute mother who is also an owner, both active in running this perfect spot. If you want a sea view room, book # 6 or #7. Room 7 is on the top floor and has the best sea view. There is also a lovely terrace by room 7 overlooking the rooftops that is available to all guests. Room 6 is directly below #7, still sea view but lower. These rooms are a nice size with nice size bathrooms and walk in showers. There are stairs, no elevator. The owners will help you with your luggage as stairs are narrow. Breakfast was excellent. Ricardo and his mother offered a savory or a sweet tray. We had one of each and shared. Cappuccino, American coffee, OJ, croissants. It was easy walking to other areas of Monopoli. We thought this was a perfect location for us. The parking area that was recommended is on Via Proccacio for Eur 25 per night. We parked there one night and realized we could easily find free parking on the same street. We were there in mid September, so it was not as crowded and more street parking was available. Our weather was beautiful, a little cool, with an occasional shower but we were still wearing shorts and t-shirts and going swimming in the small bay. Everything was great and we even got a good workout going up to room 7. We are in our mid 70’s) so not as young as we once were! Thank you Ricardo and mom!

There was nothing we didn’t like about our stay , other than not having more time here to stay.

We are so blessed to have found this wonderful B&B to stay for our fist stop in Puglia . Ricardo and his team are an absolute treasure to work with . Professional but yet so kind and so simpatico that it feels like you are staying with family . Ricardo arranged a driver to pick us up at the airport in Bari, so much appreciated after a fifteen hour flight from Canada. He offered to drive us to the train station as well upon checking out and stayed in communication with us in a very timely manner and expertise. The breakfast and cappuccino in the morning was hearty and delicious. The location is brilliant a few steps from the beach yet so near the port and the Centro storico. Everything about our stay was magical and would not hesitate to recommend Ricardo and his B&B to our family and friends. Do not hesitate to to stay here you will not regret it ❤️

Leaving….

Riccardo was great with getting in touch and answering questions. He collected us from the station and dropped us back. Let us drop luggage in early so we could spend the day sightseeing. Room was modern with excellent facilities. 20m from the beach but in a very quiet location. Close to basilica. Breakfast was excellent. Great host. Very much recommend you book here! Thank you.!

Everything was great.

This is a lovely small b&b a stone’s throw from the public beach. Great location. Breakfast was lovely. Really good coffee and I especially enjoyed the fresh fruit and pastries. Riccardo and his family are lovely. Always a smile on their faces. Room was very comfortable and we soon got used to the steep stairs.

I wouldn't change a thing it was all perfect.

Riccardo was amazing from beginning to end. The accomodation is incredible and it is right in the heart of it all. Amazing restaurants and the beach within a 2 minute walk. The breakfast was perfect to start the day and Riccardo helped us with any questions we had and made us feel so incredibly welcome. We will be back again for sure!

My stay at B&B A C-Caste was truly special. The combination of an amazing location, beautiful and comfortable accommodation and exceptional hospitality made it a standout choice. I was fortunate to stay in a spacious room filled with natural light, complemented by a modern, generously sized bathroom. The highlight was having a balcony where I could sit and enjoy stunning views of the ocean. Riccardo and his team went out of there way to make my stay memorable. Their genuine care for their guests was evident throughout my visit. From the warm welcome to the thoughtful recommendations, every aspect of my stay was handled with professionalism and kindness. I highly recommend B&B A C-Caste to anyone visiting Monopoli—it's truly a gem."

I stayed here after being recommended by my parents, who visited in 2019. It did not disappoint! The room was beautiful, comfortable and clean. The location was incredible- right in the heart of the old town, yet it was still lovely and quiet in the room. Breakfast was delicious too, I looked forward to my cappuccino every morning! Riccardo, his mum and the rest of his team were so attentive, helpful and kind. Nothing was too big an ask, and they were always warm and keen to have a chat. Thank you for a beautiful stay- we’ll be back!
