The apartment is perfect as a base to explore the old town of Ostuni, and Paola provided loads of local recommendations of sights, restaurants and beaches. You'd have to be insane to try to drive into the centre of town, but the apartment has parking about 5-10 minutes walk away. We were met by Andrea, who was unphased that our flight was slightly delayed so we couldn't make it until really late. Check in was smooth and the apartment had everything we needed. Sitting on the roof terrace, watching sunset with a glass of negroamaro and getting buzzed by swallows overhead was magical. The only small gripe I have is that there is a bar right outside that played pretty loud music until 4am on Saturday night, but this is hardly Paola's fault. If this is likely to bother you, I'd take earplugs. Otherwise I'd definitely recommend this spot.
