Ostuni hotellia

Plussat: Not Much

Miinukset: Room was very subpar No closet Mattress minimal Bathroom crude

Plussat: The location is exceptional! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is incredible. What you get for the price is amazing! I will recommend this place to everyone I know who travels to Italy.

Miinukset: I really liked staying on site because it was so nice there. It would have been great if they had lunch options available because it would make it easier to stay on the farm all day instead of having to go somewhere else in the middle of the day.

Plussat: Almost everything ! The atmosphere, the house, the grounds, the staff, all great

Miinukset: The way dinner is planned: you do not have a choice other than "surprise" 4 or 6 or 8 set course. Whatever is served is 5* though.

Plussat: Beautiful setting. Great staff who are passionate about olive farming and food. Guests are guests not numbers. Quiet peaceful and relaxing and not fussy or pretentious. Lots to nearby to see, Luke Ostuniand even just a quiet walk among the olive groves was a great tonic.

Miinukset: Having to leave!

Plussat: Everything- this place is idyllic.

Plussat: Restored and now sustainable maintained farm property. Farmhouse stunning and history shared with us through guided tour. The produce was amazing, not just the food and local wine, but the hand & body/hair soap. We did the 8 course organic medieval dinner and every mouthful was delicious & wines excellent. Service so professional and friendly. Everything met our expectations. Highly recommend.

Plussat: Spacy room with excellent design. Dining area and high quality food with fresh from the garden ingredients.

Miinukset: Nescaffe in the room. We suggest small Illy machine with real coffe.

Plussat: Beautifully renovated. Nice touches like fire pits lit in the evening. Excellent evening meal.

Plussat: Beautiful premises decorated tastefully in a local country style. Quality food. Helpful and friendly staff. coated for easy drives to many of the local towns.

Plussat: excellent and opulent breakfast

Miinukset: nothing could be better, the only thing is that I would not necessarily book the 4 course dinner for my children again. Overall it was a bit pricy in comparison what you could get elsewhere within the region/town

Plussat: Nice but we were in the modern part of the masseria which lacked charm

Miinukset: Pool, breakfast

Plussat: Lovely room, pool area, outside dining area overlooking pool and also inside traditional style dining area. Spotlessly clean in all areas of hotel. The breakfast was amazing, buffet style with lots of choices and homemade. Also had 3 delicious evening meals.

Miinukset: Need a car as slightly out of Ostuni, this wasn’t a problem for us as we had a car.

Plussat: Close to town, food offerings were great, staff were super friendly, property was beautiful (go explore past the pool to see what they're growing!).

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: Kaunis huone(sviitti), oma takka ja pieni oma ulkotila. Miellyttävä ja avulias henkilökunta. Hyvä aamiainen. Illallinen järjestettiin paikan päälle masserian asukkaille, meitä oli syömässä vain 4 henkilöä, todella hyvä ruoka. Lyhyt matka autolla Ostunin kaupunkiin. Kaunis pihapiiri.Kaikki toimi loistavasti.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: The owner escorted us to our room and was extremely nice and spoke English excellently. All the staff were helpful and very friendly. The place is quiet and lovely, very peaceful and relaxing. I would heartily recommend this place.

Plussat: The owners, Memo and Danielli who were wonderful hosts, and the food and wine which were both excellent and good value.

Miinukset: The room was very comfortable but the "piccolo bagno" made showering a challenge. This did not detract from the whole very positive experience.

Plussat: It environment around the converted farm buildings seemed well cared for, and the flowerbeds and trees made the whole place seem very attractive. There is a lovely terrace, on which we enjoyed sitting comfortably to read in the sun or watch the sun set. The restaurant is especially good. It has a fixed menu for dinner which is good value and serves beautifully cooked local food. We liked the fact that we had a kitchenette so that we could also make our own meals sometimes. We enjoyed the swimming pool which is a good size. You are in the countryside but only about 2 km from Ostuni which is a beautiful town.

Plussat: Fantastic food, close to Ostuni, wonderful host, reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Plussat: quite good - a bit difficult to find initially entering into Ostuni - is some distance from the town centre. good rooms -

Miinukset: overall good value slightly small shower - otherwise reasonalbly sized rooms with kitchnette and private facilities

Plussat: The location was good.

Miinukset: The rooms are basic and the breakfest was ok. As in was mid October the rooms were cold and the grounds could not be used to full advantage.

Plussat: I think the hotel has good facilities, very clean and the staff were very helpful once they understood what we were saying.

Miinukset: There was no English spoken, limited breakfast unless you like cake this was fine for me as I have stayed there before but if you are not aware this can be difficult especially as I had a 9 year old with me

Plussat: Yes, you can park outside your room and it is lovely and quiet. Our room also had a kitchenette with large fridge and cooking facilities.

Miinukset: It is difficult to find.

Plussat: Staff and family were very friendly but their lack of English encouraged us to use our limited Italian!

Miinukset:

Plussat: Friendly staff though very limited English spoken - but I guess you have to remember you are staying with a family on their working farm. Room was large, well equipped and comfortable enough given the price. Good pool and lots of outdoor communal spaces. Good to be served fresh food from the farm. Close to town.

Miinukset: Breakfast was more limited than is usual in continental places - lots of cakes, not much in the way of cereals, breads, hams or cheeses. Not the usual coffee options either, just thick black coffee from a large pot. The rooms in the old farmhouse where I stayed are more basically furnished, though the same price, as the newer rooms in the outbuildings. My shower was broken. There are a lot of rooms, it can get surprisingly busy. The hotel has a good local reputation for catering but dinner was disappointing on the one night we ate there.

Plussat: Location, public areas for the hotel guests, patio areas. The overall building was stunning.

Miinukset: Beds on platforms are 1970s and the overall design of the rooms were uncomfortable. Bathrooms lacked shelfspace and where on the smaller side. One of the rooms we had had leaks where rain came through. Lighting in one of the bathrooms was really bad. The public areas for the bar and restaurant although beautiful, do not make sense and it is uncomfortable and difficult to enjoy drinks with friends. We ordered drinks but where seated in the breakfast area next to the kitchen that smelled of fish from the dinner service. The only staff member exceeding our expectation was Andrea the driver.

Plussat: Very charming and comfortable. Beautiful sceneries on The Valley. Wonderful one star Michelin chief.

Plussat: Beautiful, clean great location and the staff was amazing

Miinukset: Services start at 8 am, so no coffee or food are ride to your car. Coffe machine in room would help

Plussat: Spacious room, very friendly staff, great breakfast (you must try the fried eggs with bacon) and a view to die for.

Plussat: Beautiful Patio for the breakfast, location

Miinukset: Too expensive, some room do not have windows

Plussat: The design of the premises and location were fantastic

Miinukset: The staff in general were unfriendly. The spa offered a manicure for 45 Euros and it was the worst manicure I hace ever received. A complete rip off considering it only included change of color and filing.

Miinukset: The hotel design

Plussat: The location in proximity to the old town. The vaulted ceilings in the restaurant. The sauna. Staff were awesome! The parking.

Miinukset: There were no glasses to enjoy a drink from the mini-bar - only plastic cups ... even in the junior suite! The pillows were bulgy, too many lounges in the junior suite took up the extra space I paid to have a larger room. Uncomfortable flip-flops instead of the nice slippers shown in the advertising.

Plussat: Fantastic location right outside of Ostuni. Lovely room and very nice breakfast. Only a ten-minute walk up into town. Loved the on sight parking. The Ostuni Palace Hotel is right across the street from the the Corso Vittorio Emmanuel Viewpoint for photos of Ostuni as below. The jelly candies in the reception area were delicious. I especially would like to thank Marilu who went out of her way on day off to mail back to me a linen shirt I left in the breakfast room. Exceptional kindness which was very appreciated by me.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: The location was ideal, if we return to Ostuni we would stay there again due to it being so ideally located.

Miinukset: We had to change our room after the first night because the noise from the road kept us awake most of the night. The second room was much quieter, but both rooms were small. We were disappointed that as hotel guests there wasn’t a complimentary visit into the spa pool as in other hotels we’ve stayed in. It was thirty euros each for one hr!

Plussat: The location and the Hotel itself is perfectly located with just 7 minutes slow stroll towards the Historical City Center of Ostuni. The staff is friendly and they are willing to help anytime.

Miinukset: The restaurant was pretty basic with truly unspiced food. I have like the ambient and the service,however, I could not say the same for the taste of the food.

Plussat: Great location. Rooms very clean and pretty.

Plussat: Location is perfect as only 10 minute walk from the historic centre

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The price we paid is far too much for the hotel.The hotel is nice, the location is fine, not too far from the city centre, like 15 min walk, the view over the city is very nice, however the price we paid of almost 200 euro per night is too much for this.

Miinukset: The breakfast could be better

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: Range of food options was available at breakfast. Few minutes walk from old town of Ostuni. View to the old town from the hotel room and pool was very impressive. We didn't experience difficulty to communicate with the staff as they speak English fluently.

Miinukset: Swimming pool closes at 7 pm which is too early, should be open till 10 or 11 pm like other hotels.

Plussat: Generous breakfast with great selection of food. Very attentive staff.

Miinukset: The swimming pool was inaccessible....over 100 steep external steps to the reach the pool area which was located high on a hill top. Fantastic pool and surrounding area but too far from hotel.

Plussat: All was perfect. Hotel clean. Personal very welcoming. Thanks to Leonardo and Nicoletta. They let us use the parking of the hotel and the swimmimg pool after we checked out. The swimmimg is on a top of the hill behind the hotel. It offers a wonderful view on Ostuni. There is a free navette shuttle to go up there.

Miinukset: I didn't like leaving the hotel. All was so good.

Plussat: The location is really close to Ostuni city center, it can be reached with a 10 minutes walk. The room seem to have been recently renovated. The parking place is detached from the hotel itself but very close (50 m).

Plussat: Good location close to the center (10 minutes walking), very nice view from the pool, good breakfast

Plussat: Modern, tidy hotel with excellent breakfast and kind staff. Parking is 100m from the main entrance on the other side of the road. Downtown is just a 10-minute walk from the hotel.

Miinukset: We asked a quite room but on that saturday night there was a birthday party on the terrace until 1.30 a.m. with extremly loud music and guest.Our room was close to the terrace so we could not sleep until the end of the party.

Plussat: From the minute we arrived, we found that the staff were so incredibly friendly helpful and professional. The room was a delight, the evening meal delicious with stunning views and the breakfast abundant. Would highly recommend

Plussat: Good for one night stopover. Pool lovely with great views. Room a bit tight but adequate. Breakfast was in a large room and was very good.

Miinukset: It's built into a hillside so there's little external light inside. Would be a bit oppressive for me for a longer stay. Had a bit of a corporate feel.

Plussat: A good hotel, a huge bedroom and a helpful reception team, but out of the town, not far, but far enough for me to not give top marks on location (good parking though, and free of charge)

Plussat: good room, with lovely bathroom, Pool is up the hill, but there is a shuttle bus if you don't want to walk up the steps to it Breakfast has a great selection in the buffet, all the food was lovely. Great location, only a 10 minute walk to the old town

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Very spacious room with gorgeous views over Ostuni. Comfy bed and very friendly hotel staff.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: This was a fabulous find in the heart of Ostuni. Our room was spacious and gorgeous - an ancient building tastefully brought into the modern times but still with the old touches. It felt bright and clean. Large bedroom and large shower. The location could not be beat - right in the heart of things with plenty of nice restaurants once you got off the main alley with all the touristy shops, As one other reviewer noted, you cannot drive to the hotel. You park at the Parcheggio Stella (7 Euros) and call the hotel and they come get you in a tiny car that fits in the alleys. We really enjoyed our stay and wished we could stay longer!

Miinukset: Nothing - super comfortable and clean!

Plussat: Location good.

Miinukset: Restaurant closed Breakfast average Parking difficult Bar closed

Plussat: Beautiful venue. Kind, professional staff. Huge room. Highly recommended.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The building itself is a real experience original and very well modernised without destroying its history, the hotel is just off the main square and thus in an ideal position our room was comfortable with a lovely view.The lady on reception didn’t have much English but was very helpful and pleasant and pointed us to the better restaurants for dinner

Miinukset: I found the breakfast buffet to be limited and for a hotel claiming to be 4 star below average ,plus getting coffee was a struggle and a hassle as served in small cups in a very tight crowded room having to go to ask at a counter for a refill meant I didn’t bother on the second day and went to a cafe for my second cup

Plussat: Located in the historical center of Ostuni it was a great place to stay….but make sure you call the hotel to arrange parking/pick-up as you can not drive to the hotel given it's location….I tried though :) got close...

Plussat: Everything. The building is amazing : the rooms are located at several levels among terraces and plants. A hotel “ con charme”

Miinukset: The location although excellent is the difficult access but the staff are very helpful and if you call them, they come and fetch you with their shuttel

Plussat: Good location and well designed room in historic house

Miinukset: Both bedrooms reeked of cleaning fluid - bleach/Domestos - so strongly it even persisted with the windows open - and unfortunately we had to keep them shut because there was a private party with live music in the town centre until 11.45pm. Breakfast was very disappointing, perfunctory, factory bread, plastic 'jam' &c - set out in the next door restaurant which seemed odd as there are perfectly serviceable public rooms on the second floor which could be used for breakfast in house. Front desk service came and went - had to find the lady (in the kitchen next door) to pay in the morning... All small points which could easily be improved to make one's stay really enjoyable.

Plussat: Beautiful, gorgeously appointed place with amazing views and great location. Best of all was the staff - just delightful, and most accommodating. The hotel graciously forgave my booking error, which was non-refundable, but they didn't charge us anyway.

Miinukset: Terrifying (for me) drive to the hotel, on narrow, Old City streets with hairpin turns. Then had to go back down and park at the base of the climb anyway, (for which we got a lot of help from staff with shuttle).

Plussat: The staff was extraordinarily gracious, kind and accommodating. A beautifully updated and appointed palazzo, in great taste without sacrificing its history. Great views, great charm, great location. Best of all: the staff.

Miinukset: Driving on the ancient roads with hairpin turns to get up to the place; then having to park at the bottom of the town anyway. However the staff guided us in their little shuttle once we found them.

Plussat: It’s a large property with a lovely pool and family friendly. You can have a lovely breakfast and Dinner on site or easily head into Ostuni. The owner was charming. It’s great value too.

Plussat: I have stayed at many Agritourismo is this was definitely one of the best. Great location, beautiful accommodation and facilities. But best of all was Fabio and his fabulous staff. We had my wife’s 70th birthday celebration lunch ( just the four hours and 8 courses ! ) in the restaurant which was brilliant. They couldn’t do enough for us and the food was as amazing as it was plentiful. Great pool and children’s play area. We absolutely loved it they made us so welcome too. It’s not the cheapest but definitely the best we have stayed in.

Miinukset: Nothing it was all fantastic.

Plussat: Nice owners, very hospital and helpful. Great dinners made of natural products including some from their own garden and very good breakfasts. Good facilities for children including swimming pool and playground.

Plussat: Very good staff. Lovely pool. Great place to relax and have a swim and a drink after a day touring. Central location close to interesting towns and the beaches.

Miinukset: Breakfast could have been a bit better. More fresh fruit and pastries.

Plussat: A lovely warm and friendly Wellcome, this couple are very nice and go out of their way to ensure your stay is a pleasant one. Our room was spotless and the bathroom was fabulous, best shower ever. Very traditional Spanish style decor. The pool was amazing, and the surrounding area with fig and olive trees were beautiful.

Miinukset: The coffee.

Plussat: The breakfast and dinner were wonderful and all the staff were extremely friendly, attentive and helpful.

Plussat: Very welcoming family - a pleasant place, low key, nice surroundings and traditional stop over which is what we were after. Good home cooking. Expect kitch!

Miinukset: Room was a bit of a mixture - for example you couldn't open the window and get into the bathroom at the same time.

Plussat: Great breakfast. Remote location outside Ostuni with a great pool area and very nice staff.

Plussat: Small and pleasant hotel located in the middle of very old olive trees. Play place for kids and swimming pool in a welcoming environment. Coming from the Adriac coast the way to there crossing Ostuni is not easy... but worthwhile.

Plussat: The homemade food mas more than delicious as well in the morning as in the evening. It also is quiet place with lots of flowers . Very friendly and helpful staff.

Plussat: The best breakfest we had in Italy.

Miinukset: Noisy rooms.

Plussat: Truly wonderful friendly staff

Miinukset: The rooms are a too dark and the bed is somewhat uncomfortable

Plussat: A good and quiet place. Everything was perfect. Special thanks to Marilyn for a spontaneous and friendly behaviour for my wife's birthday

Plussat: Everything about the hotel, staff were excellent, with the reception staff always available for help & advice. great suggestions for places to visit and for which were the best restaurants and places to park.

Miinukset: it was just a little too far to walk into the centre of Ostuni at night

Plussat: The hotel was charming and elegant as we're the staff. We were lucky to have experienced a very hot spell in mid October and.sat by the pool and enjoyed a swim and Spritz in the most perfect setting. One for the memory book.

Miinukset: Maybe some food available in the evening

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Beautiful place. Great staff. Excellent breakfast. Apart from uncomfortable bed and broken old sun-beds we could not fault this place.

Miinukset: Hard old beds and the room needed up-dating, The bathrooms had been done and were beautiful but the bedroom was uncomfortable and plain.

Plussat: The location

Miinukset: The room was dark and the mattress not comfortable

Plussat: Staff is outstanding. Very lovely warm people. Roberto speaks great English, and although the older woman doesn’t she is a pleasure and tries the hardest to communicate. The grounds are outstanding. And breakfast was lush and delicious.

Miinukset: The rooms have a bit of an ikea feel. They are nice, but this modern style is quite unexpected when you are going for the old school masseria experience.

Plussat: Beautiful location, lovely staff, so relaxed

Plussat: Great for a base to explore neighbouring towns. Hosts were very friendly.

Miinukset: No wifi and Vodaphone reception was very patchy. Hard if you require this for future accommodation bookings. Breakfast was a bit limited if sweet cakes are not your thing.

Plussat: Graye staff, very helpfylul feel like home

Miinukset: No english speekers at the crew

Plussat: The bed was very comfortable and I really enjoyed the showers with a strong water pressure

Miinukset: The fact that I was without any public transport to wonder the town at my leisure

Plussat: Warmth and Hospitality. Literally on the beach.

Plussat: Was clean and we stayed all the weekend at the Hotel and it was a great relaxing time. Not bored at all.(gym,pools,5min walk the beach)

Miinukset: Food was Poor. Daytime only panini (cold sandwich) no lunch opportunity. Breakfast...I expected more fruits and olives (local fresh fruits) it wasn`t like that . No fresh fruit juice...

Plussat: Everything is very good

Miinukset: Everything working hoos

Plussat: Chambre propre

Miinukset: The hotel is a long walk from the beach. Noise from the road traffic. Noise from the music late at night. Many moskitoes outside, as well as inside the room. Very long Wait at Check-in, for almost 50 minutes. Reception takes way too much time. Buffet breakfast not satisfactory, chemical juice, not much, not appetizing. Bedroom: clean, but no coffee machine, no tissues, no bottle of water and plenty of moskitoes. Many stairs in the hotel, and no lift. Air conditioning in the room, but no heating. The bedroom was cold during the night (end of May).

Plussat: It is absolutely perfect for families travelling with kids. Excellent location, nice rooms, good facilities

Plussat: The breakfast was excellent

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff were excellent and helpful, great location to the square for bars and restaurants

Miinukset: Noisy bathroom

Plussat: Excellent breakfast. Excellent location. Lovely sitting out spaces. Fine views into the town and out east to the coast. Staff excellent.

Miinukset: The room was on the basic side, bed too big and out of scale with the room.

Plussat: Lovely terraces and an easy walk to the historic centre

Plussat: The location and car parking were very good.

Miinukset: Bathroom was a little small.

Plussat: Lovely place and stuff was very polite and supportive

Plussat: The hotel was very attractive, hacienda style and has a beautiful breakfast room. Reception staff and housekeeping staff lovely and friendly. Spotlessly clean in all areas and a lovely view of Ostuni.

Miinukset: The bathroom was a bit cramped, no safe nor luggage rack in the room.

Plussat: Cleanliness ,views , good bed ,reception staff good and breakfast ok.

Miinukset: It advertises that there was a open restaurant (apparently only occasionally) that there was a swimming pool there isn't one and a hotel shuttle ,again there isn't one. The hotel description needs amending.

Plussat: Beautiful location in the middle of olive trees. The masseria is simple and original. The swimming pool is lovely, the breakfast in the patio is very relaxing.

Miinukset: The room we were given Could be more curated and elegant.

Miinukset: It was not a good surprise to find the hotel nearly empty, and offering no meals apart from a breakfast bar in the morning with no hot food apart from coffee and tea. The excellent duty reception office staff was helpful in providing advice on reaching a good restaurant about 3km away. The hotel's rather isolated situation was to be expected, being typical of many "masserie" in this part of (Puglia) Italy. But we expected its own resources to be better.

Plussat: The gardens are pretty.

Miinukset: Is just a motel. For the money we expected more. The staff didn’t help us with anything!! It seemed like everything was too much work - couldn’t even be bothered to assist us to make a restaurant booking! They don’t even offer towels for the pool! I really don’t recommend here if you want a true masseria experience - better to try Frantoio just a short drive away. Way over priced and don’t even have option for beach beds anywhere. The breakfast was dismal and was the first processed spam like ham I’ve ever seen in Italy.

Plussat: Pool area

Miinukset: Rooms are very tired Hot water is barely enough for one shower per time No A/C in the rooms Service is unsystematic: they make you feel like you are asking for a big personal favour rather than for service

Plussat: We loved the location in the huge olive grove. The masseria is beautiful and the swimming pool area is a paradise on a hot day in Puglia.

Miinukset: Compared to the outdoor area (especially around the swimming pool), the actual room did not meet our expectations. It was well air-conditioned and comfortable, but the owners could improve the decoration and furnitures

Plussat: The staff and family here have been wonderful the two times we stayed. The atmosphere is very mellow, calm, peaceful, relaxing. Not a party place and not a place for loud people. Better for those who want quiet time and nice for those who are traveling by car (it is needed if staying here).

Miinukset: The room is very basic and expected of a budget accommodation.

Plussat: Great location, lovely olive growth, perfect breakfast and very nice territory.

Miinukset: Poor WiFi or no connection at all in the room.

Plussat: Service was good and a complete breakfast was served.

Miinukset: Transportation to and from the location was not possible without a car. We knew they rented bikes and relied on the bikes for transportation but the bikes were not allowed off the property.

Plussat: Pool and beach

Miinukset: No WiFi, bad connection, no tv, very bad services, bad food It’s a 2 stars not a 4 one

Plussat: The pool, by far, was the best feature. The live music each evening enhanced the stay.

Miinukset: The property was / is dated, in need of regular, standard maintenance, lack of modern amenities, poor WiFi connection, Limited food menu (eg same breakfast each and everyday over an 8 day stay) coupled with cost of lunch and dinner that was much higher than high quality restaurants in Ostuni, no pool side service, staff was not as friendly nor helpful as they could have been - plus understaffed.

Plussat: The facilities where good The kids loved the pool

Miinukset: The rooms where very basic and not attractive at all holes in doors. Needs a revamp and paint in the rooms. The tennis court and soccer field really need a revamp they could have such beautiful things as they have the space but it’s not kept very well

Plussat: Breakfast was the same everyday, but done nicely.

Miinukset: Fantastic pool area totally spoilt by Smoke nearly everyday from some kind of wood / rubbish burner with chimney very close to the pool and pool bar. I reported it to the management at reception 3 times and all they did was give us a bottle of wine with their complements, asked for the manager to contact me, he never did. Please sort the problem in question, I did not want free drink.

Plussat: Quiet location, plenty of parking. Close to other local towns to explore . Great pool suitable for all. Lovely well maintained gardens.

Miinukset: The lack of local facilities. There is a small local shop, luckily we had a car during our stay otherwise could be isolated

Plussat: Staff was very friendly and provided personalized service.

Miinukset: The door of my room was very hard to close and I felt like I had no privacy as the cover for the front room left the sides open

Plussat: - Lovely big pool (good for kids) - good air-conditioning - nice gardens - pretty location on the sea and close to the beautiful town of Ostuni

Miinukset: - surly staff - tired, uncomfortable rooms - the food was pretty average considering the reputation of the region - the price! I literally cannot believe this hotel costs more than €200 a night- its 4* rating makes no sense to me
