Salt hangs in the air as the view from the terrace meets the fortress wall where Emperor Charles V once had his castle ring built – the house is named after Don Ferrante, viceroy of Otranto and governor of Bari in the 16th century, who resided right here. Guests stay among historic vaults and the deep blue Mediterranean, in one of three residences on the property. Apulia, largely unchanged for centuries.

Hotel description
The Don Ferrante Dimore Di Charme is located in Monopoli, around 40km south of Bari, and right on the Mediterranean Coast. It is housed in an old fortress dating back to the 16th century. A total of 15 dreamlike rooms and suites, spread across the historic main building Dimore di charme, the nearby Luxury Guest House and the Luxury Town House, a rustic restaurant and great outdoor spaces including a small infinity pool make for an incredibly romantic boutique hotel!
Don Ferrante Dimpre Di Charme
Once you’ve stayed at the Don Ferrante Dimore Di Charme, it’ll be quite a challenge to better, or even equal it. You’ll look back fondly on the white furnished terrace with its unrivalled sea views, your romantic room with its elegant yet rustic design, and the cute little basement restaurant with its impressive vaulted ceiling. Thinking back to the immaculate and ever-friendly service, you really will start to think that hotels don’t get much better than this!
The rooms
The guest rooms at the Ferrante Dimore Di Charme have been decorated in a bright summery rustic style. Every chair, bed and chest of drawers is a single piece. The fantastic stone arches made from travertine lend both the rooms and the well-fitted bathrooms their special charm.
Food & drink
In the fortress's former powder magazine, the hotel has set up the Terrazza Don Ferrante restaurant, serving typical Mediterranean cuisine and moving to the sea-view terrace in the warm season. Either way, you’re guaranteed a delicious meal in a truly romantic setting!
