Ostuni

Ostuni is a small town perched on a steep hilltop that towers over the plains of Puglia. Ostuni is located an hour and 20 minute drive from Bari Karol Wojtyla International Airport, and once you reach the town you’ll feel like you’ve been lifted back to a simpler age.

Ostuni is most known for its whitewashed buildings within its Old Town (centro storico), which is why it’s known locally as Puglia’s ‘White City’. You’ll quickly find yourself immersed in the beauty of the town’s trulli stone buildings, which feature unique tapered conical roofs, and offer wonderful backdrops for capturing moments from your holiday.

The streets are steep and uneven but are well worth a walk as you take in the grand duomo, a 15th Roman Catholic cathedral featuring a 24-pane rose window, and discover tucked away courtyards offering an inviting café culture.

You will notice that this is a tranquil town with an authentic, humble atmosphere that spills from quaint restaurants. In the valleys enveloping Ostuni you will find tumbling vineyards where you can head off on delightful wine tours and enjoy the full-bodied, spicy notes of the Ottavianelli grape.You’re also close to Puglia’s pretty coast with its welcoming beaches, ensuring you can enjoy both a coastal and rural holiday in Ostuni.

Just a few miles from Ostuni you will find Terra Sessana Country Resort, which is an ideal base for exploring this delightful region. Don’t forget to try Ostuni’s local pride, orecchiette, a small, ear-shaped pasta that is usually served in a rich vegetable-based sauce.
