Ciao amici! Let’s get right into today’s topic: a very well-researched post with the best hotels in Ostuni! I just came back from a trip there and also looked on the web for hours to find some unmissable places! There were so many, so I also made a bonus with the top hotels near the beach!
Don’t worry, I’ve already ordered the hotels from most to least expensive so everyone can easily pick their category and look for their favorite! But once you do find that Italian dream spot that you’ve always wanted to stay in, I recommend booking it fast!
Yep, believe it or not, the White City, which dates back to the Stone Age, is one of the most popular in Puglia, and the best accommodations will sell out so fast, especially in June, July, and August (the high season).
