La Peschiera
Capitolo, Monopoli, Italy

La Peschiera makes the Adriatic the focus of a stay, with pale interiors, terraces and a private beach beside a former fish hatchery. Its small scale and series of pools give it a different feel from Puglia’s larger inland resorts. The waterfront restaurant adds an appealing reason to remain close to the water into the evening. Plan around its seasonal operation: the hotel’s recognised booking partner lists closure from October to April and welcomes guests aged ten and above.
