I had a wonderful stay here! The host was absolutely lovely—very communicative, helpful, and thoughtful throughout my stay. The home was exceptionally clean and welcoming; when I walked in, it smelled like fresh laundry, which was such a nice touch. Everything I could possibly need was provided, including all the essentials, and I was even welcomed with a box of cookies!I really appreciated the care and attention to detail that went into making the stay comfortable. I highly recommend this listing if you’re staying in Ostuni!

This was an ideal rental in a very convenient location in a beautiful city. It was very clean and well-equipped with a beautiful view from the expansive roof terrace. The hosts were extremely accommodating, kind and responsive. While we were not affected, it should be noted that there are some steep stairs that might not be suitable for older or physically challenged people. That said I would highly recommend this house for an authentic Ostuni experience

Fantastic location, incredible host, and beautiful stay in Ostuni!We had a wonderful stay in this clean, centrally located apartment. The location is absolutely perfect—situated on a hill leading right down to the Piazza della Libertà and the beautiful, winding streets of the Centro Storico. It’s also just a short walk to grocery stores and parking.Our landlord went completely above and beyond. We didn’t arrive until around 10 PM, but he was there waiting for us, even saving a free parking spot. Since we struggle with parallel parking, he even got one of the guys from the local bistro to help us out! He gave us a great tour of the house, shared photos of his beautiful family, and left us a delicious box of pastries from his wife. He was incredibly helpful, friendly, and funny—we truly wanted for nothing.The hospitality and unbeatable location made for a truly fantastic trip. I highly recommend this beautiful apartment to anyone visiting Ostuni!

First off checking in with host was a amazing experience. A few days before he reached out with driving information and offered to help find a parking spot of I reached out X amount of time before hand. They meet me at the spot and walked me to the Vrbo. During my 2 weeks in Italy, the check-in proccess is surprisingly something I will be telling many storys about. They had fresh fruit picked for us, bottle of wine, and box of cookies waiting for us. The gentalmen walked us through every part of the Vrbo, took photos with our group and was making jokes, it was so much fun! It ended with him showing photos of him working at a olive oil company, we pretty much got a tour of the whole proccess and he was so happy to talk to us about it. Obviously there was a bottle of fresh olive oil from his work for us to use. Can not recommend this Vrbo more! Location was also perfect for the town, with our favorite resturant on the same street. 11/10 on all points.

Wonderful gem in the heart of Ostuni

Art on stone has everything you need for a perfect vacation in Ostuni. It’s comfortable, clean and central. The rooftop was our favorite place to hang out at sunset with a stunning view of Ostuni, the countryside and the sea. Silvano warmly greeted us and made us feel like home! We left a piece of heart here!

This was a perfect stay in a perfectly located area close to the historical center of town. The apartment was impeccably clean and full of many thoughtful amenities. A small bottle of Prosecco and box of delicious local pastries for us upon checking in made us feel very welcome. The multi-level roof terrace was a lovely place to enjoy breakfast and relaxing in the afternoon. Our host Silvano was a gem - so helpful in getting from the airport to the property, and recommended Marcello for taxi rides. Marcello drove us several times and that was a huge help. Do not hesitate to book this property!!!

Even better than the pictures

The hospitality and generosity of Salvino and his family are much praised in the Vrbo reviews, and deservedly so: Salvino (and his daughter Roberta and son Domenico) is a magnificent host, and the appartment a perfect base for enjoying Ostuni.

Perfect place

Wonderful little place, very well thought out and equipped with everything you could need, tastefully presented, immaculately clean. Beautiful terrace with nice views, walking distance to everything in Ostuni. The family were very kind, I had the warmest welcome they shared local information, recommendations and making sure I had everything I needed. They were also incredibly patient with my lack of Italian language skills. I plan to come back again soon, when I have learnt some more Italian!

Great location and rooftop terrace

Stayed 5 nights in October. Great location - walk 5 min to city center, 1 min to cheap but tasty pizza and a self-serve laundromat, and 8 min to Carrefour market. Stairs from street level to first floor, steep but good handrails. Kitchen well-equipped, good seating, left us fruit and snacks on arrival, good bathroom with shower. Circular stairs up to second-floor bathroom; low ceiling due to domed roof, we thought it was fun. Second bathroom with toilet only. Stairs up to two-level rooftop terrace, which was fantastic. We had a great time and our host could not have been nicer.

Charm and comfort in the best location

This charming apartment with a lovely rooftop terrace was a perfect home for us in Ostuni. From here we could explore the Adriatic coast and the inland towns of Alberobello, Locorotondo, etc. The host Silvano welcomed us warmly and even saved a parking spot for us, mere steps from the apartment. We appreciated the delicious sweets and fruit that awaited us. Throughout our stay Silvano was at our disposal should we have questions or need anything. The apartment is well furnished in a charming manner. Kitchen is well equipped and everything is spotlessly clean. The terrace is a lovely place to sip a glass of wine before or after going out for dinner. When we left, Silvano bid us goodbye in person. We felt that we were saying goodbye to an old fried.

Best holiday home ever!

We have just returned home after 2,5 weeks we will never forget. If you are considering booking this VRBO: Book, book, book! The house is spotlessly clean and has everything you need: A comfortable bed, a well equipped kitchen, two bathrooms, beach essentials, aircondition (a life saver in the heat), Wi-Fi, a breathtaking terrace and much more. We enjoyed sitting on the terrace where there is always sun as well as shadow. The terrace is even more beautiful than on the photos! The house is very well located as you are a few steps from the centro storico but also close to a lot of local and very reasonably priced restaurants with great pizza. You are also close to the supermarket. Ostuni is very well located and we visited the beach, Bari, Lecce, Alberobello, Pugliano a Mare, Monopoli and Locorotondo as well as a beautiful masseria. What was most memorable about our stay was Silvano. My girlfriend has traveled Italy for many years and even though she has met a lot of great hospitality and kind hosts, she has never experienced anything like Silvano! He was kind, helpful and went above and beyond to make sure that we were enjoying our holiday. He wrote us on WhatsApp checking in on us and helped us with all our questions. He even wrote us to make sure that we were safe at home in Denmark! Thank you Silvano. All the best to you and Maria, Francesco, Roberta, Domenico and the cute dog Fiocco. We will never forget our stay and will return the next time we are in Ostuni!!!

Quaint, Charming, and Friendly

We arrived early afternoon and were greeted by kind and friendly Silvano. We knew from the minute he led us to the home this was going to be the perfect location. It’s located a short walk from everything you need or want to see. We loved the uniqueness of the home. High kitchen ceilings, spiral staircase to bedroom, and a wonderful rooftop terrace to relax on with a glass of wine or afternoon lunch. Being on the road for several weeks, the clothesline allowed us to catch up on washing and drying our laundry. It was HOME! Siamo arrivati nel primo pomeriggio e siamo stati accolti dal gentile e cordiale Silvano. Sapevamo dal momento in cui ci ha portato a casa questa sarebbe stata la posizione perfetta. Si trova a pochi passi da tutto ciò di cui avete bisogno o che volete vedere. Ci è piaciuta molto l'unicità della casa. Soffitti alti della cucina, scala a chiocciola per la camera da letto e una meravigliosa terrazza sul tetto per rilassarsi con un bicchiere di vino o un pranzo pomeridiano. Essendo in viaggio per diverse settimane, lo stendibiancheria ci ha permesso di recuperare il lavaggio e l'asciugatura del nostro bucato. Era CASA

Surprising!

My husband and I were so surprised by the our amazing host Silvano! He met us at the train station and took us on a little tour and made two stops to take pictures of the two beautiful views. He then took us to the rental and showed us around and then left us with focaccia made by his wife and a small Prosecco to enjoy on the lovely rooftop terrace. He also checked on us every day with suggestions of things to do. We will never forget him!! The flat is in a perfect location and very clean and comfortable.
