Pros: 1. Location. Highest point in Ostuni with great…read moreviews Old character. Simple. Calm quiet. Small boutique relais chateau hotel. Walk and explore the town from your doorstep 2. Room size good. Excellent detail of shelf at base of bathroom mirror as incorporated into the mirror. This freeing up counter space. High ceilings light. Design was lovely and functional. Hard surface floor. So glad to see no carpet in hotel rooms 3. Private view balcony from our room. We loved room 8 Soleil. Slept so well. Am curious the history of the hotel and would have loved to learn about it. I should have inquired. 4. Our section of hotel had large private upstairs open room, high ceilings and larger balcony too 5. Service ! Daniela. Francesca. Gianni /Giovanni. Restaurant/breakfast. Front desk. Welcome drink fresh unusual made by Daniela I think. Fulvia C does a lovely job as the GM. Our many thanks to all at front desk to housekeeping and others that we didn't see but who surely worked to make our experience so very lovely 6. Quiet. Private. Nice especially for famous people who want the quiet family time with privacy. (Don't ask me who!) 7. Breakfast good. Fresh fruit. Ordered some veggies sautéed (no egg). But eggplant drenched in olive oil so not good. Yet zucchini was. No fresh cucumber. Would have loved fresh cucumber and riper tomato especially for veggie and vegan guests Fresh juice but consider adding fresh veggie/fruit mix wirh ginger. Great service. They remembered our capuchino oat milk preference. Pastry chef first day had a fabulous little chocolate muffin 8. Excellent linens Good bedding etc very clean. 9. Nice location to go and explore the area. Advisement: (not much of any cons to report - basically overall excellent!) so maybe just some ideas .... 1. During heatwave kindly have more water available. My understanding is that hotels are supposed to provide water when the tap is not ok to drink. 2. Parking not available on site so you park at their lot offsite and wait for pick up. But was fairly prompt. Fun little three wheel classic Ape ( tuck tuck). All part of the charm. Parking is not included in room rate However no cars in the city means a more special experience :) 3. Provide guests with directions to parking as gps not work well for finding it - probably due to some new roads Update : Noticed past reviews said no bar but they just have added one. It is more of a stand up and order on site. Highly recommend. We would return.

We opted for the "Privilege Room," that was really a sprawling and charming apartment, full of character. We enjoyed some time at the pool with a bottle of wine and some snacks. Dinner was outstanding, a multi-course tour through the region's ingredients, and the service was warm and genuine. The setting is beautiful, and the entire experience feels deeply connected to the region. Highly recommended.

When you arrive, you are greeted by friendly staff. The resort looks like a historic site. To me, it looks like a place where the author F. Scott Fitzgerald might have been inspired to write about Jay Gatsby's lavish parties. What makes this place incredible is how attentive the staff truly are. I would give the hotel property 4 stars, plus 1 more star for the staff. So 5 stars total! Pros: Free Wifi, Pool, bar, breakfast, Air Conditioning, amazing friendly staff Cons: Unfortunately, they don't serve dinner. But that's ok, it's an opportunity for you to check out the local restaurants.

We did…read morenot know it at the time, but masserias (or farms) are a big attraction for visiting the region. No wonder why all the food we had here was fresh and delicious. This masseria boasted some of the oldest olive trees in the world, including one that is over 3000 years old and still producing fruit! Amazing! The tour of the grounds and the old presses was fun and informative. And the best part is that you do get to taste the olive oil from the masseria, and it was delicious. There was one olive oil that was infused with lemon that is great on salads. We wish we had bought more!
