Pros +
- The staff and amenities were great, particularly the beautiful pool. The location and ambience was superb and the breakfast very good. Overall we were very happy with the hotel, however.
- Perfect stay for our wedding close by, very accommodating with all ours guests and a lovely breakfast.
- The breakfast was excellent. I reserved an upgraded room with an ocean view, and the room was a good size and very clean with a nice view.
Cons -
- We were a bit disappointed at our "deluxe" room as it and the bathroom were quite small and somewhat outdated and the shower door needed to be fixed.
- I traveled in mid-September and the hotel had turned off the air conditioning for the season. The weather was still quite warm, so the bedrooms and the restaurant very uncomfortably hot. Also, the water in the pool was not clear and the pool had algae growing on the sides.
- Room 107 shouldn't be advertised as having a sea view. Breakfast items were quite limited and items like the meats and cheese, and scrambled egg took too long to be replenished. Also, all other milks were accessible but you had to ask for cows milk at the bar, which was a little disjointed.The pool bar and towels were not available until 10:am, which felt a little late in the morning sometimes.One last thing is that there was no prior mention of construction works happening next door. I didn't appreciate being woken up by hearing power tools at 7am!

The breakfast was excellent and the pool and bar got plenty of use!
The air con in our room wa not very good and we had to change rooms during our stay
This place is very special! Very beautiful, typically Italian, just a few steps from the Piazza, super central. I felt very safe traveling alone. The owners were wonderful! I recommend it to everyone who wants to visit Ostuni. I will definitely come back!
Everything for me was fine!!
Cute and comfortable hotel situated in the perfect location to access the beach in Santa Cesarea; great pool; friendly staff; varied and tasty breakfast; spacious room
Everything was great!
The locations is really good
The breakfast is only two hours so there is a lot of people all the time.
The Hotel was clean, air conditioned and had a very nice interior! The breakfast was lovely with lots of fresh fruit, pastries and an assortment of cheeses and meats for bread, the staff was also very friendly. The even restaurant had very good food, we especially enjoyed the steak tartar! The pool area was lovely and we spent a lot of our time there, there was a lot of space and the bartenders made really nice drinks!
We paid extra for a room with a balcony, expecting that the normal rooms did not have, but they actually did. Our room had a large balcony that was shared with other rooms! It would have been nice to have better information about what we could expect with the rooms, as we would have preferred the private balcony.
The pool and the breakfast were great. The location was also beautiful and very handy as a base for seeing other towns/attractions in the area.
The bed was uncomfortable, the aircon wasn’t working, there were ants and mosquitos in the room, and on top of that wifi wasn’t working in the room. Hotel staff were not very helpful and proactive with trying to rectify things we brought to their attention.
The hotel was very nice and clean and the breakfast was good every morning. The pool was lovely and had a great view to the sea.
Staff were very welcoming and helpful. The hotel had great facilities, we used the restaurant and pool which had a poolside bar to. Room was spacious, comfy beds and clean. What views you could get ?
The main shower head was broken but we could use the smaller one.
The location is stupendous. We had the family double which was so nice…two double rooms with a shared bathroom and beautiful balcony with seating. The restaurant provides excellent breakfast and dinner service, very high quality. Artwork throughout is lovely. Staff is superlative. The pool area is awesome, with bar service. We loved being in S. Cesarea in shoulder season, but you miss the lidos and sulphur pool, and restaurants are limited. Excellent working elevators!
There could be more attention to the pool cleaning (some algae growth on the pool floor). Perhaps this clears up as the season progresses (it was early in the season). Some of the finishes in the rooms are tired, and the shower was not pleasant (too small, very low water pressure, no shelf). It is two flights of stairs to the pool, so it is not accessible to persons with mobility impairment. These shortcomings keep it from five stars. The Spa is run by an outside vendor. They were very kind but we found the spa facility lacking. The jacuzzi is small and difficult for older people to get in/out, and the jets did not work for us.
Wonderful place! Professional and helpful staff, nice nice, great balcony and the sea view. The breakfast was also great. Free parking just in front of the hotel.
Nice pool area but had to ask for towels in the reception since personnel in pool bar (during daytime) spoke absolutely no english. Toilet an shower in pool area wasn’t cleaned during the 4 nights we stayed there…
Hair in the shower when we moved in… Water leakage in the roof ( “we will look into that first thing in the morning” so we had to put a bucket under the leakage during the night…) and the so called balcony was two chairs looking down into the parking garage… To finish off the reception tried to charge us for the room we’ve already paid for through Booking.com. Not deeply impressed…
My husband and I got married nearby to the hotel and booked it out for us and our guests to stay in. The staff were incredible, so helpful to everyone and all our guests commented what a perfect hotel it was. The pool area is beautiful with an amazing sea view and the rooms and facilities are really good. Short walk to all the restaurants and bars and coves where you can swim in the sea. Would recommend this hotel to anyone! Thanks so much for your amazing hospitality!
Great location, room, breakfast and very friendly accommodating staff
The staff were exceptional. The hotel is very nice with a big pool. We had a room with a large balcony and loved it. The breakfast was delicious and there was a wide range of things to eat. The beds were big and comfortable. The shower worked well.
Nothing - it was all perfect
Staff were really friendly and went that little bit more to make us enjoy our stay. They were also brilliant and responded speedily when we had an emergency medical need. Swimming pool was a good size and well positioned.
Coffee and tea making facilities available in the room is what we might normally expect in this standard of hotel.
The friendly staff was wonderfull, they help you with all the small requests. Beautiful small garden and big pool, very clean, big terrasse by the room.
The breakfast is every day the same thing, no variation and not much choise. When you stay multiple days it's not very nice. When you arrive for breakfast, there is not always a table ready, and the buffet is not reloaded on time. The village is very noisy at night there is music almost every evening. In the hotel there is music playing in the hall during the day which you can hear in the room, it's disturbing. The hotel was not really a place to rest. In the village are not much restaurants. The rooms are pretty small. You have to park in the street if you don't want to pay every day in the private parking.
