In the enchanted heart of Martina Franca’s historic center, where every alley tells a story and every stone seems to hold centuries of life, there lies a hidden gem: Monolocale del 700. An intimate and evocative retreat, designed for those seeking an authentic, romantic experience deeply connected to the soul of Puglia.
This cozy studio apartment, lovingly restored, is located within a typical 18th-century home, nestled in one of the most characteristic areas of the city. The interiors are a perfect harmony between past and present, where the historic charm of exposed stone arches blends seamlessly with the comfort and practicality of a modern, well-organized space.
Beneath the warm embrace of the stone, you\'ll find a fully equipped kitchen, ideal for preparing delicious local products bought at the neighborhood markets, and a welcoming dining area perfect for moments of intimacy and togetherness. The double bed, elegantly integrated into the same open space, is wrapped in a soothing, romantic atmosphere, made even more magical by the soft light filtering through windows that open onto a quiet alleyway.
Completing the interior is a modern, well-appointed bathroom with all the essential comforts. Every corner of the studio has been designed with care and a love for detail: natural wood furniture, colorful ceramics, handcrafted fabrics, and decorations that pay homage to Apulian tradition—creating a warm, inviting, and deeply authentic ambiance.
The true strength of Monolocale del 700 lies in its privileged location: set on a quiet, picturesque street in the historic center, it allows you to reach all the treasures of Martina Franca on foot. Within minutes, you can visit the scenic Piazza Roma, the grand Ducal Palace, the magnificent Basilica of San Martino, as well as a host of traditional trattorias, historic cafés, artisan shops, and hidden corners waiting to be discovered.
Martina Franca is a city that never fails to surprise: elegant, vibrant, and set among the rolling hills of the Valle d’Itria, it is the ideal starting point for exploring the most iconic destinations in the region—like Alberobello with its famous trulli, the stunning views of Locorotondo and Cisternino, and the wonderful Ostuni, the famed \"white city.\" In just 25–30 minutes by car, you can also reach the Ionian and Adriatic coasts, combining cultural discovery with the pleasures of the sea.
Monolocale del 700 is not just a place to stay—it’s a little world to live in. Perfect for a romantic getaway, a slow and restorative weekend, or to immerse yourself in local culture with the comfort of feeling at home from the very first moment.
