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.

The hotel is clean, modern with attractive and well kept rooms. It has a wonderful terrace bar and restaurant with outstanding views of the city and the Adriatic. Parking is just across the street which is a huge bonus. Staff is for the most part also efficient and welcoming (special shout out to Gabriel) but the jewels in the crown are Teresa, Maria and Elena at Reception. Ladies, my wife and I wanted you to know how truly wonderful it was dealing with you. To GM Oronzo Sasso - make sure you take care of these 4 incredible team members.

We were four couples of friends who decided on a British Airways holiday to Ostuni and chose the Monte Sarago as our hotel - we picked basic rooms on a b&b basis as we all wanted to explore the area. None of us realised that the pool (shown in 3/9 pictures on the 'partners' website) was out of bounds for us after our hot sightseeing days and we had to pay for pool/beach days at VIAR to compensate and keep driving to the coast for 'quick dips' - most annoying ! The bar attached to the rooftop restaurant was like the moon (little atmosphere) and the downstairs bar was never open during our one week stay. Rooms were fine and the breakfasts catered for all tastes. The overall feeling was somewhat muted compared to our expectations.
