Palazzo Indelli

What the property says

Palazzo Indelli is a patrician palace of the 1500s on Piazza Garibaldi, the busy center of old Monopoli, a few steps from the Adriatic. The hotel says the tuff blocks of its walls stand out over the square.

The palace has housed a boutique hotel since 2012, with 22 rooms, and the 2026 Regione Puglia register lists it as a four-star hotel.

It sits in estimated price band 2 of 5. The pitch is location: the sea is a few minutes’ walk away.

Where you sleep

The hotel lists its room types in Italian: a Matrimoniale Classic with a city view, a Quadrupla Standard with a mezzanine, a Quadrupla Deluxe with a terrace and a Family Room with a terrace. Matrimoniale means double and Quadrupla means quadruple.

The very high ceilings, typical of aristocratic palaces, and the Apulian tuff are the features the hotel highlights. Each room has its own heating and air conditioning. The Quadrupla Deluxe and the Family Room have a terrace of their own, and the Quadrupla Standard has a mezzanine.

Reception works around the clock, and breakfast can be served in the room. The hotel also has small rooms for meetings and remote work.

Eating and drinking

Breakfast is sweet and savory, built on typical products of the area, and room service is available.

The restaurant serves typical Apulian cooking in an elegant inner room. The menu uses fish from the Adriatic or the Ionian Sea, and the hotel describes the dishes as traditional recipes revisited in a contemporary way.

The hotel also lists mixology and cocktails, plus aperipranzo and apericena, its aperitif versions of lunch and dinner. It describes drinking them with a view over the busy square. Restaurant hours may vary in winter.

The setting

Piazza Garibaldi is the busy center of Monopoli’s old city, and the sea is a few minutes’ walk away. The hotel lists Polignano a Mare, Capitolo, Savelletri, Alberobello, Castellana Grotte, Fasano and Cisternino among the places a few kilometers away.

The palace is inside the historic center, in a limited traffic zone (ZTL) where parking is reserved for residents. The hotel has no reserved spaces, so settle the parking before you travel. Luggage can be left free of charge near reception on arrival or departure, which helps if your room is not yet ready. From May to September a three-wheeler also does a free luggage pick-up every day, at arrival and at departure.

The municipal tourist information office is on the same square.

Is it right for you?

Travelers who want to stay in the old town with a restaurant under the same roof will like it. Reception can also arrange floral decorations or a hostess and interpreter service. Families can use the Family Room with a terrace. Dog owners pay a daily supplement, and pets stay out of the restaurant and breakfast areas.

If you want grounds and a spa, look elsewhere. Masseria Monet has a spa in an old oil mill, and Masseria Santa Teresa has a pool and an Eden SPA in the same price band.

Getting there

Palazzo Indelli is at Piazza Garibaldi 27, in Monopoli, in the Monopoli and Polignano area.

Bari is the nearer airport. From Bari or Brindisi, the hotel’s route is State Road 16, exit Monopoli and Alberobello. Because the old town is a limited traffic zone, arrange the garage and the luggage pick-up with the hotel before you arrive.
