Maria’s apartment was centrally located in Ostuni, very close to the cathedral. We were within a 10 minute walk to most restaurants in old town. The space itself was unique and quirky. The tiled floors and tall domed ceilings made the living space authentic but with modern furnishings. The 4 bedrooms werencomfortable for my family of 5 women even though it only had one bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked although an electric
kettle would be a welcome addition. There was a clothes washer for those needing to do laundry with plenty of clothesline for hanging. The living room only had two chairs which made it difficult for everyone to lounge so we used the kitchen table which was more than adequate. The views from the rooftop can’t be beat.
Maria was a pleasure to have as a host. We met her at her family’s gelateria and she was very welcoming. She was a good communicator and responded very quickly by text.
The location and number of rooms made Maria’s apartment a standout. Throw in the uniqueness of the space and guests are guaranteed to feel like a local. Ostuni itself is a small town but serves as a good base to explore the area attractions in the Puglia region. I would stay at Maria’s apartment again and would recommend it to those needing a larger space and longer stays.
