We had prepaid and received a confirmation and when we arrived at the hotel, they told us the room was booked twice by mistake and had to cancel our room. The hotel is impossible to get to by car and resuires carrying the bagage walking a long way, we would definitely not recommend this hotel.

These are meant as constructive criticism. Finding a meeting spot when first arrived in Ostuni turned into an hour ordeal as Waze kept re-routing us. Street names sometimes posted so difficult to find. Guests should park somewhere in Ostuni and call the hotel and let them come to where you are located. Ostuni is a relatively small, charming town. The staff projected our needs and fulfilled them as well accommodating everything we asked without hesitation. Thank you La Sommita staff. If you can't walk up hills, then be aware that La Sommita is at the top of the highest hill in Ostuni behind the main Church. We found the walk relatively easy and especially after going to dinner in the main Piazza an enjoyable walk. We are a relatively older couple. We enjoyed the terrace, pool, and all the amenities.

The hotel is absolutely beautiful. The photos don’t do the property justice. The staff was absolutely amazing. My daughter and I stayed here in May 2024. We arrived in the early evening after driving all day. We didn’t want to have a real dinner so after talking to a manager, Salvatore, he arranged to have the chef prepare us “something” to enjoy on one of their terraces to enjoy the sunset! It couldn’t have been more perfect! Everyone was wonderful, the servers, the front desk employees, their drivers. We decided upon arrival that we didn’t want to move our car from the parking lot to visit Lecce the following day so the hotel arranged a driver for us. It was perfect! The room was beautiful, large and had a steam shower with a waterfall! We highly recommend this hotel!!

Disliked: Room comfort

Disappointed with the stay

Our room was very loud (number 15), so if you get given that room change immediately as you will not get much sleep in there are people in the restaurant. The pool was quite dirty, the amenities were old fashioned, no coffee machine in the room which I would expect at a 5 star hotel. The service was good at breakfast and the breakfast was nice. Overall I would not stay again as I don’t think it’s worth the money at all.

This hotel was a truly 5 Star Hotel. We stayed in a suite and it was really cool and big. The Hotel offered a shuttle service that helped get to a train station and even took us to the restaurants. The staff was amazing ready to help in any way and to make sure that our stay was unforgettable. Would definitely stay again. Great location in a beautiful Ostuni.

Beautiful views as property sits high above the city. Unfortunately due to cool weather there were limited options to enjoy outside space. Front desk very helpful and friendly with dinner suggestions and reservations. Hotel rooms are very loud as the structure and design accentuates all sounds, voices and doors closing etc. Bed set up on platform in middle of room makes the space seem smaller even though large room. You have to walk around the bed which has an additional step down to the floor. Kind of odd and really limits function of room. Enjoyed our 5 nights and price was reasonable. Fabulous breakfast daily with friendly staff.
