Where to stay in Monopoli and Polignano The full collection: By the sea
The short version
Six of the 13 stays in Monopoli and Polignano are by the sea on our rule: within 2 km of the coast in a straight line, or with a beach club or private beach on the official site. Four are in the two towns, among them a cliff-top boutique hotel and a 16th-century palazzo, and two are masserie outside them, one with a private beach club. Estimated bands run from 2 to 4.

How to choose a stay by the sea in Monopoli and Polignano
Start with town or countryside. In the towns you sleep a few steps from the water. Hotel Covo dei Saraceni is a four-star hotel founded in 1982 in Polignano a Mare, with a view of the town’s cliff and a restaurant over the sea.
Hotel Grotta Palazzese is the one with a restaurant inside a natural cave. Don Ferrante Dimore di Charme and Palazzo Indelli are in the old town of Monopoli.
Don Ferrante occupies what it calls an ancient fortress on the reef, with rooms split across three buildings and a rooftop jacuzzi. Palazzo Indelli is a 16th-century palace on Piazza Garibaldi that has been a hotel with 22 rooms since 2012, and it stands in a limited traffic zone, so plan the parking.
In the countryside, two masserie reach the sea in different ways. Masseria Monet is an 18th-century residence with nine rooms and a spa in the old oil mill, within our 2 km limit of the coast. Il Melograno is a 17th-century masseria with five hectares of gardens and two pools, and it qualifies through the Tamerici Beach Club, which its site calls private, reached by free shuttle.
For a sandy cove south of the center of Monopoli, there is the Cala Porto Rosso entry on Andiamo in Puglia, in Italian.
Covo dei Saraceni and Palazzo Indelli are our band 2 estimates, Don Ferrante, Il Melograno and Masseria Monet band 3, and Grotta Palazzese band 4. The area hub has every other stay of the area, and By the sea covers Puglia.
Which stays in Monopoli and Polignano are left off, and why?
Seven of the 13. Every stay in the area has a precise position, so each distance is calculated: one masseria sits just over the 2 km limit, and six are further inland, from the countryside of Monopoli and Polignano to Conversano. None of the seven states a beach club or a private beach in our data.
Being near the coast says nothing about the shore below a cliff hotel, which can be a beach, a rock platform or a harbor. Ask the property where guests actually swim.
Questions travelers ask
Which stays in Monopoli and Polignano are by the sea?
Six stays qualify: Hotel Covo dei Saraceni, Don Ferrante Dimore di Charme, Hotel Grotta Palazzese, Il Melograno, Masseria Monet and Palazzo Indelli. Five lie within 2 km of the coast in a straight line. Il Melograno qualifies through the private beach and beach club that its official site describes.
Does Il Melograno have its own beach?
Il Melograno's site describes the Tamerici Beach Club as a private beach reserved for hotel guests, with fine sand and a free shuttle from the hotel. The masseria itself is inland, beyond the 2 km limit, so the beach is what puts it on this list. Check shuttle times with the hotel.
How close to the water is Hotel Grotta Palazzese?
Hotel Grotta Palazzese stands above the sea in the old center of Polignano a Mare, on top of the natural cave that houses its restaurant. Our data puts the hotel on the coastline itself. The hotel admits no children under 12 to its rooms.
Which stay by the sea in Monopoli and Polignano is the least expensive?
Hotel Covo dei Saraceni and Palazzo Indelli are in estimated price band 2, the lowest on this list. Masseria Monet, Don Ferrante and Il Melograno are band 3, and Hotel Grotta Palazzese is band 4. These are our estimates from positioning, with no published rate behind any of them.
