Me and my husband stayed at La Sommità for two nights as it seamed the best solution to explore Ostuni from within. And in fact the location is perfect. While booking I asked for the suite Il Sole, which has a stunning balcony over the valley (most of the other rooms are quite dark, as you are in ancient walls),... more

My wife and I visited La Sommita for a week's vacation in August of this year. Overall the experience has to be viewed as excellent albeit with a couple of weaknesses. The hotel is new - when we arrived it felt as if they still had some small commissioning issues. That said it was wonderful. The situation, at the heart... more

We stayed at the Sommita for a weekend in early September - what an amazing place! We loved everything about the hotel, including the lovely spa (apparently inside an old "frantoio"). Worth a visit! A word of warning to anyone who decides to hire a car and drive to the hotel themselves though - it is not very easy to... more

Totally disagree with these reviews. La Sommita is a wonderful hotel with incredibly warm and helpful staff. It is set on the top of Ostuni - a very old and charming town - beatuiful with lots of great restaurants. Yes the hotel is not a quaint local farmhouse - its is a luxury hotel and spa - but the vaulted... more

This is a beautiful hotel in a spectacular location, and yet it was still a grossly disappointing stay. It had been billed by our travel agent as a place you just HAD to stay, best he'd ever been to etc. Our experience was very different; the service was plain rude and unhelpful and tainted the whole stay. We felt like... more

This hotel has amazing possibilities that are not at all exploited. The main one being actually training the staff. When you charge between 300-400 per room in the middle of nowhere Puglia on top of a steep hill, you expect decent international service. Not here. Young Italians (with no English skills whatsoever) who are totally indifferent to you and dont... more

Nicely designed hotel with far reaching views and good location, but lacking in service. Note that the hotel is at the very top of the old town, which is a maze of narrow streets. If you are arriving by car, be sure to get detailed directions from the hotel - there are several signs from the main road into the... more

This hotel is really beautiful. I recommend Suite#8 which has a gorgeous balcony. The breakfast is nice although the breakfast room is dark and gloomy. Make sure you ask to have your breakfast at one of the outside tables. They advertise a wine bar but there is no wine bar at this hotel. They have a wine celler. We ate... more

My husband and I stayed in this wonderful hotel perched behind the Cathedral in the historical town of Ostuni. The staff were extremely welcoming and the room was second to none. We have stayed in many boutique hotels but this place was extremely impressive and having travelled to Puglia on a few occassions it is very unusual to find such... more
