Trullo rooms and stone character
The standout accommodation choice is the Trullo Room, which puts guests inside one of the cone-roofed stone buildings typical of this corner of Puglia. Alongside it sit Classic, Deluxe and Superior doubles plus a Junior Suite, so the stay can be as simple or as roomy as needed.
Two pools and a hot tub
There are two swimming pools on the grounds, giving guests room to spread out in the warmer months. A hot tub adds a quieter option. The garden and terrace round out the outdoor space, so much of a day here can be spent outside without leaving the property.
Selva di Fasano setting
The resort sits in Selva di Fasano, a hill district above the town of Fasano in Puglia. It is a countryside base rather than a town-centre address, which suits travellers touring the region by car. Free parking and valet parking make arriving with a vehicle straightforward.

Arriving in Selva di Fasano
Tenuta Monacelle is 56.5 km from Bari Airport (BRI), where the Ferrovie del Nord Barese line runs to Bari Centrale. The nearest intercity station is Polignano a Mare, about 18.9 km away. Italian cities charge a tourist tax (tassa di soggiorno) per person per night, collected by the property rather than included in the booking total; the rate depends on the city and the property's star rating, and many properties still take it in cash.
Across 113 reviews, guests rate Tenuta Monacelle 4.3/5. Staff, comfort and location come through as the strongest themes, so the service, the quality of the rooms and the setting in Selva di Fasano are what guests respond to most. The two pools, restaurant and free parking are the facilities that anchor the stay.
