Although the photographs are beautiful, I promise you Casa di Zia will surpass all your expectations. Firstly, Maria is amazing. I unexpectedly arrived late at night via train, and she generously organised for her friend to pick me up from the station, as buses and taxis were scarce. We asked many questions about restaurant and cafe recomendations, and she answered all of them promptly- not to mention every single suggestion was excellent and local, and we wished we had more time to try all of them. The house itself is very special - beautiful high ceilings, stunning ceramic tiling throughout and the view from the balcony is breathtaking. Definitely recommend sitting up there for breakfast to truly experience it. You don't need to worry about shower gel and shower caps, as it's all supplied as though you were in a hotel, and everything in the house is super clean and spotless. The restaurant next door to the house 'Sapere e Sapori' is incredible. Delicious local food, good prices and lovely staff. Maria's house will always be my go-to for Ostuni, and I'm already planning my next trip :)
