Discover luxury and boutique hotels in Ostuni, Italy

With a sun-bleached hilltop citadel of cubic white buildings, stepped streets and shaded alleys, Ostuni’s ancient Apulian architecture could be taken for Greek — and has history that stretches just as far back as its Aegean doppelgänger. Dip into its substantial past at Ostuni Cathedral or one of its historical museums. Beyond the city limits, Puglia’s Adriatic beaches are in day-tripping distance, and as for the vine-ribboned countryside — one word: primitivo.
