Best Ostuni Hotels: Accommodation in Ostuni, Italy

Italy’s Puglia region is one of my favorite areas of the country (okay, it is probably actually my favorite region).

Located in the heel of Italy’s boot, Puglia is full of stunning towns where the houses have been whitewashed and stand out against the oranges and greens of the surrounding countryside or the vibrant blue waters of the Adriatic.

Many people tend to stay along the coastal areas of Puglia where beautiful towns sit atop cliffs, however, if you head a little inland you can find equally picturesque towns, such as Ostuni.

Ostuni is a beautiful city located 52 miles southeast of the region’s capital, Bari.

The ancient city was settled at some point during the Stone Age and since then has had a vibrant and intriguing history.

The old town sits perched on a hill with medieval walls surrounding the whitewashed buildings.

Despite its small size, the little city packs a punch and there are plenty of things to do in Ostuni – from drinking incredible wines to watching the city change color as the sun sets.

As you meander through the alleyways and streets of the old town, you will be taken aback by its Southern Italian charm and delight.

One of the best things about the old towns of Puglia, like Ostuni, is they are not stale tourists traps like in many other cities in the world… which means you are able to really get a feel of the true life of the town as you sit an enjoy a coffee in one of the piazzas.

Along with history and culture, Ostuni offers beautiful views of the countryside, with acres of ancient olive groves spreading out from the town’s hill out into the countryside, producing some of the finest olive oil in Italy. 

Ostuni is a small city with only 30,000 inhabitants which means that accommodation in Ostuni is relatively sparse, with options tending to be more holiday home/apartment options rather than true hotels.

Thankfully, there are still a few great options for all budgets.

To aid you with your quest to find the best hotels in Ostuni, I have put this guide together with some great options to cover all budgets.

What to Pack for Ostuni

We could give you a list of tons of things to bring to Ostuni but we have narrowed it down to four items we think are essential and helpful.  One includes an Italy power adapter. 

Italy uses a different plug than the rest of Europe and while some plugs may fit if skinny enough, most don’t. 

I have learned my lesson SO many times!  Bring an Italy power adapter!

Knowing a little bit of Italian can also go a long way. 

It can help with how to book a condo or B&B for your stay, assist you when ordering food, and even give you a chance to communicate a little with the locals.

Therefore, we recommend buying an Italian phrasebook below.

Here are some items we suggest toting along for your trip:

• Italy power adapter
• Power strip so that you only need one power adapter for Italy
• Italian phrasebook so you can speak what I deem to be the sexiest language on the planet
• Fodor’s Essential Italy guidebook

If you’re looking for a great place to stay in Ostuni, we hope that these properties make it to the top of your list depending on your budget.
