Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Fancy stopping in central Ostuni? Boasting 16th-century charm, there's an on-site chapel, courtyard, and indoor pool to share in this building. Given the lack of privacy in the shared bedroom, this ground-floor apartment may be best suited to a young family of three, but it's a great base for sightseers with busy schedules. While the historic sights of the city might keep you close to home, the Adriatic coast is only 8 kilometres away if you feel like a beach day.

Home truths
This ground-floor home is accessed through the external courtyard and down some stairs.
The bedroom contains a double bed and a single bed, so privacy is minimal. It does feel a little cramped, so we'd pack light.
Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout, and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
You'll have access to communal spaces here, including an on-site chapel, courtyard, indoor plunge pool, and more.
There's no washing machine here.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.

Local guide
About Ostuni
You’ll probably spot Ostuni long before you reach the so-called White City of Puglia. It rises up on three hills, above the rust-red earth punctuated by olive trees. Shambling, narrow streets lead up the hillside to the crowning 12th-century Ostuni Cathedral. It’s a veritable labyrinth of ancient alleyways, where you can sample traditional Puglian fare like handmade orecchiette and oozing dollops of burrata in terrace restaurants, or taste a Salice...
