B&B Monsignore

We absolutely loved our stay at this B and B. It was perfectly located in the heart of the old town, with all the shops and restaurants at its doorstep. At the same time, the rooms were wonderfully quiet and dark at night - allowing for an excellent rest even when the town was bustling below. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, arranging transportation to and from the carpark on the edge of town where we left our car, as well as a private boat trip to see the caves and swim along the stunning coastline to the south of Vieste. We loved wandering the narrow streets of the old town, exploring the shops, and savouring the wonderful food and drink on offer in Vieste.

We had the most delightful stay at Monsignore B&B. We arrived at the municipal parking lot (discounted parking deal for B&B guests -- this is the most convenient parking solution as the interior of the town is inaccessible to cars) where one of the very friendly employees picked us up in a golf cart and drove us to the Piazza Vittorio Emmanuele II. From there, we wheeled our luggage up Via Quarti to the B&B. It's a very short walk, but you would do well to have wheels on your luggage. Really, the location can't be beat. Monsignore B&B is steps above the town square, a short walk to the Marina Piccola (public beach), and just inside the labyrinth of tiny alleyways that make up the historic center of Vieste. Almost immediately, we requested to extend our stay for another night. The guest check-in is on the second floor, as are the breakfast room and guest rooms. We had a larger room for the three of us, Il Tappeto Verde, so named for the terrazzo pattern on the floor that resembled a green rug. The room was spotless, equipped with air conditioning, small television (that had an Eastern European cable package? My kid was watching some Polish cartoons), and mini fridge. The bathroom was equipped with shower, sink, toilet, bidet, and drying rack for beach wear. DO NOT HANG THE DRYING RACK OUT THE WINDOW. This is a big no-no. The breakfast spread was lovely. Local pastries, some cold cuts, cereals, yogurt, fruit, and of course espresso/cappuccino/caffè latte made to order. The staff are so friendly, and they were so sweet and accommodating to my little boy. He really took a liking to them. We were sad to leave, but we are resolute to return again soon.
