Tenuta Monacelle
Tenuta Monacelle is a hotel and estate located in Monopoli surrounded by hundreds of old olive trees in the Itria Valley. The property features traditional trulli buildings with their distinctive cone shape and larger masseria structures, all built from local tuff stone and adapted with modern comfort inside.
The estate has been part of the local landscape for many years, reflecting the tradition of building with local stone and natural materials. The structures show their age through their design and construction, yet they have been updated to provide comfort for contemporary visitors.
Tenuta Monacelle connects deeply with local land and traditions through its architecture and gardens. Red geraniums frame old stone walls and cone-shaped trulli buildings made from dry stone, creating a visual link to the region's past. The setting encourages visitors to experience how people have lived and continue to live in this part of Apulia.
The estate sits in a quiet area perfect for relaxing and walking through natural surroundings without the hustle of nearby traffic. Its location makes it easy to reach local beaches, towns like Monopoli, and major airports at Bari and Brindisi.
The property houses a restaurant within old stone buildings where chefs prepare dishes with local ingredients and bread and desserts are made in the estate's own bakery. This creates a place where regional Apulian food traditions come alive through traditional preparation methods.
