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 was spotless throughout and the rooms were fantastic. Strong WiFi and good air conditioning made it a comfortable experience. However, the best was the food. Breakfasts buffets were well stocked and the evening meals were very good indeed. I particularly enjoyed the broccoli cooked just like my mother used to.
One slight misunderstanding about a drinks price policy during the Italy match was quickly addressed and resolved by the staff. Indeed the highlight of our stay was the pleasantness and efficiency of the staff for whom nothing was too much.
Thank you all.

Minimalist boutique hotel about half a mile's walk into the centre of Ostuni. Very clean and comfortable though the interior is rather dark and with a curious layout. The restaurant is at the top but the breakfast room is on the ground floor. The buffet breakfast was OK but kept having to be replenished as the food trays were far too small. Our bedroom was very quiet and spotless with a large comfy bed. Aircon worked well here. The square shower cubicle was far too small for the dual-head system.
Food in the restaurant was good but here is the one big problem - there is no air-conditioning! This is unforgivable in summer temperatures and completly spoils the dining experience. Leaving the doors onto the terrace open simply admits more warm air. Even some floor-standing fans would've helped to keep the temperature tolerable when having dinner.

Nice hotel, bedroom and bathroom (no bath) modern and nicely decorated. Staff very pleasant and helpful always. Disappointed that there is no outdoor communal space or garden also no swimming pool. Food was ok a good selection for breakfast dinner average, we were part of a tour group. The restaurant did have a different menu for non tour members. No staffed bar or lounge area for after dinner drinks. A 20min ascending walk to town centre on rough/uneven footpaths.
