About the location
Visible for miles around, Ostuni is a gleaming tumble of painted buildings and dramatic brick-built palaces, perched almost entirely on a steep hilltop. Ostuni’s whitewashed centro storico lends the town its second name as the ‘White City’ of Puglia, and there are few places as atmospheric found anywhere else in the region. Most visits begin with a walk through the old town, towards the mighty duomo towering high above the Puglian plains. It’s a steep ascent, but one that’ll take you through some of the most magical of Ostuni’s streets: think white-walled passages with uneven floors and pretty cafes tucked into sheltered courtyards. The views at the top are well worth the climb, and the beautiful 15th-century cathedral with its 24-pane rose window is quite a sight, too.
The town’s bar and restaurant scene is richly authentic, with quaint trattorie serving local favourites such as orecchiette – a small, ear-shaped pasta that’s generally eaten with vegetable-based sauces and often served alongside a handsome house red. For true wine connoisseurs, one of the local wine tours is a must-do, taking visitors into some of the region’s finest wineries.

Best hotel of four different hotels while on a two week trip through Puglia. Everything was top notch. We stayed twice for six days total, with a 4-day separation between the two visits. The rooms and all facilities were immaculate and in complete working order. The front desk staff were welcoming, kind and professional. The breakfast buffet was extensive, with fresh fruits, juices, meats, cheeses, a wide variety of breads and pastries, and eggs/bacon.
It's a short walk up the hill to the main piazza where there are many bars and restaurant options. There is a roof top restaurant and bar, which has a limited pizza and meal menu. The menu was limited and the food was adequate, so I honestly can't gush about this aspect of the accommodations-but that certainly would not stop me from returning or recommending this hotel to anyone. Parking is also available for free in the secrured lot just in front of and across from the hotel. Best of all - it was of the least expenses hotels that we stayed at between Bari, Lecce, Gallipoli and Ostuni.

Although it is very well located, the hotel does not have a pool. The rooms we were given were very small. The elevator works strangely and crashes or it goes to the wrong floor. The buffet is very good. And the order of the room location is very strange.

I visited the spa for the honey experience. Great value for money. You get an hour or so with the facilities before your treatment. They have everything you would expect - relaxation area (with juice and water included), sauna, cold water bucket shower, jet pool, steam room. The reflexology tunnel (walking over pebbles as different sprays/jets of water get you from every angle and temperature). The treatment itself was long and relaxing. It included being brushed with honey, cleaned, honey face mask, massage...just kept going! Carla (rare to find a namesake) was lovely. Polite, professional, respectful, clearly knows what she's doing. I would definitely go again.

this little gem sits 700 metres from the centre of the most gorgeous town! The rooms were spacious and plenty for our one night stay. The staff were lovely and I highly suggest this property on your stopover in Ostuni. We had a car and there is a free parking place across the road from the hotel which made life very easy.
