We had intended to stay in Cisternino for 3 nights because of the location but were disappointed to find the place we chose had closed for the season.....this was after all November.As sometimes happens all is well that....well you know the rest. The hotel was clean, efficient and well staffed with good secure parking. My only disappointment was location...out of... More

We selected this hotel because of its location for visiting the citte biance all of which are within easy driving distance.We received a warm welcome. Our room was as requested, at the back of the hotel with a wonderful sun terrace overlooking the valley. However we needed to change rooms because the cistern made a long loud noise each time...

I have just stayed at Hotel Aia Del Vento for two weeks on a Global Volunteer excursion. I cannot say enough good things about my experience. The entire staff is friendly, sincere and always ready to be of service. The food! I don't think I have had finer food anywhere. The breakfast buffet offers so many, many choices. Even over... More

We stayed here for 3 nights at the start of our holiday, in early June, and 1 night at the end. The hotel is located just outside the small town of Cisternino and is convenient for visiting, amongst other places, the ‘white towns’, Alberobello with its trulli and the baroque town of Lecce. It is also convenient for the airports... More

The service encountered at the Aia Del Vento was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble for the helpful and friendly staff and our room was spotless. The only drawback was that the restaurant wasn't open during our visit but eating out presented no problem. We were even given a lift into town one evening so that we could... More

A comfortable, immaculate family-owned hotel. Vittorio, the owner, and all hotel staff take warm, professional and utterly sincere hospitality to a high art. Wonderful breakfast. Convenient location within easy walking distance of the historic centre of beautiful Cisternino and a good base for exploring the Itria Valley. Aia del Vento is great value and an exceptional find.

We LOVED staying here. It is one of the best experiences we had in our 5 weeks in Italy. The hotel itself is nice, it's a typical 3 star, well maintained, very clean and nice. It's owned and run by the most amazing family. Only the son speaks English but that doesn't hold back the rest of the family making... More

I just stayed here for three nights. It had one of the best hotel breakfasts I have ever had. The staff were really friendly, however for those that care about these sort of things - they did not speak much english. A smile and a nod got you what you wanted though. The room was large, clean and comfortable. Lots... More

I booked Christmas week 2007 at the Aia del Vento, intending to visit friends and explore the area with them. The hotel looked good, situated just outside the town, a short distance from the shops and the centro storico with its bars and restaurants. In real life, I arrived in Cisternino with no luggage - lost in transit - only... More
