“This achingly cool hotel and spa is housed in a beautifully restored 16th-century palazzo at the very top of the fascinating ‘white town’ of Ostuni. Interiors feature vaulted ceilings, bare stone walls, limestone floors and minimalist decoration in white and ecru throughout the public spaces and the nine bedrooms. For down time, there’s the spa, a small pool and a restaurant serving modern versions of local cuisine. Views from the various terraces and ramparts (well-supplied with white-cushioned sun loungers) are stunning.”
They say
“The Relais “La Sommità”, one of the few 5-star hotels in Puglia, is a historic 16th-century residence, which represents a jewel in the crown of this old town of Ostuni, a renowned tourist resort in Puglia and noted as the “White city”. Within this luxury hotel, our guests rediscover the five senses: the furnishings, the fabrics and ornaments develop the emotion of touch, fragrances and music stimulate the sense of smell and hearing, whilst lighting and flavours arouse sight and taste.… A holiday at this hotel, steeped in luxury, will be both exclusive and unforgettable. The hotel has 10 elegant suites, each characterised by architectural details, reflected in their names.”
