Staying at Gaetano’s apartment was fantastic in every way and I would 100% recommend you stay there when visiting Ostuni.
It is perfect for solo travellers, couples and friends. I started my trip on my own, then was joined by my husband. After he left, my friend came for a girls trip. Both my husband and my friend agreed the apartment was a great find.
The interior is beautiful and so relaxing. The decor is gorgeous. There is AC if needed, but we loved opening the balcony double doors to let the breeze in - another great feature. Having two bathrooms is so handy. Hanging out on the 2 tier roof terrace with view across Ostuni made breakfast, evenings and any time spent up there so special. Again, this area is decorated beautifully.
The location is perfect… Gaetano provided detailed instructions on how to get there. He advised on train/bus routes from the airport and options for parking the car / where to avoid when driving. Once in Ostuni, it was also very easy to find the apartment phone map. It is less than a 10 minute walk to the historic centre. A supermarket and 24hr ATM are both about 5 minutes or so walk away. I had book an amazing spa afternoon while I was there and that was located only about 3 minutes walk from the apartment, which was great. In fact everything you might need is within walking distance. Even a shop to buy a UK/European adapter! (We needed one while we were there and Gaetano recommended where to go.) The immediate neighbourhood is peaceful, felt very safe and I was comfortable walking around in the evening when I was on my own. But when you want a lively atmosphere you are only a few minutes away.
Gaetano gave us a great guide to Ostuni which we used during our stay. Included were suggestions for restaurants, beaches and things to do and see. This was so handy.
Whenever we needed help with something, we just messaged Gaetano and he was always great at providing us with information. He was very accommodating throughout our stay.
We all had the best time in Ostuni and this was made even better thanks to Gaetano’s lovely apartment! If I go back to Ostuni, I would definitely stay there again without hesitation.
