Impeccable! If you enjoy a designer stay with attention to all the details, then this is the perfect house for you. Giovanna was an incredible host! Giovanna and her son met us at the train station and accompanied us to her home- literally!! We stopped at her home on the way to the rental, were served coffee and enjoyed an incredible view of Ostuni.
The rental is picture perfect! It is on the main street just a few steps from the city’s piazza and the centro storico. It’s really nice to be those few feet back from all the action- it gives you some breathing room.
The house is set on 2 floors; bedroom on first floor and living , kitchen, dining on second with a huge rooftop terrace. The main windows are huge and the place is very light. The windows are double glass so when closed, street noises are blocked out. Black out curtains and gorgeous linen drapes are both practical and visually pleasing.
All linens are of the highest quality as are the furnishings and fittings. Giovanna’s taste is impeccable! The floors are exquisite! Leave your shoes at the door and give your feet a sensory spa on the fabulous surfaces both old and new!
Beautiful examples of local ceramics dot the space.The kitchen appliances were fantastic and Giovanna had a beautiful fruit bowl and a wonderful breakfast basket of toasts and jams and butter and teas and coffee for us.
The lighting throughout the apartment is wonderful- I particularly enjoyed the pin lights on the terrace. The terrace offered wonderful views and a great breeze.
Hot water was plentiful and water pressure was great. We loved having a washing machine and being able to hang the clothes on the terrace to dry.
There are lots of stairs so it’s important that one is well mobile in this apartment and city!
Being able to walk to everything was perfect for us. The restaurant at he entry to the House was one of the best meals we had on our trip. There is a little market across the street where we got eggs and milk and fruit.
Giovanna gave us all sorts of local tips and information and we enjoyed a lovely evening out together with her and her sister. We got a car on our second day and parking was available nearby. I believe that finding a spot in August is tricky but we had no problem mid September.
Ostuni is such an amazing g city and this was the perfect spot to discover it from! BOOK THIS SPACE - I honestly could not recommend it more highly!!!! Grazie Giovanna!
