Culture & History

Located in the charming town of Monopoli, the hotel is named after the Neapolitan nobleman of Don Ferrante. When Don Ferrante became the Viceroy of Bari and Otranto, a small fortress was constructed close to the southern side of the castle walls, which is the building where Don Ferrante hotel lies today. It is impossible to miss Charles V Castle in the town's historical centre; the coastal fortifications were determined by Charles V of Spain and constructed in the 1500s on a promontory jutting out to sea.
