La Sommità Relais & Chateaux

We stayed at La Sommita in Ostuni this August for our anniversary, two years after getting married in Puglia — our favourite place in the world. The hotel has a true Italian charm and easily lives up to the Relais & Châteaux standard we’ve experienced at Caesar Augustus in Capri. The setting is stunning, with beautiful views, a chic pool, and a location just a stone’s throw from many of Ostuni’s famous spots. The food was excellent (especially breakfast and lunch), and the staff couldn’t do enough for us — always smiling and attentive. Our room was gorgeous, and no photo or video really captures how special this hotel feels. A lovely touch is their tuk-tuk service, which picks you up and drops you off, even late into the night — it makes you feel like a celebrity. Together with their thoughtful recommendations, it made our anniversary unforgettable.

We had the pleasure of staying at La Sommità Relais & Chateaux in Ostuni for three nights, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded expectations. The atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, with every detail carefully curated. What stood out most was the sense of privacy and tranquility – it truly felt like our own hidden retreat in the heart of Ostuni. The service was flawless: attentive without ever being intrusive. The rooms are elegant, serene, and designed for complete relaxation, while the common spaces radiate timeless charm. Breakfast and dining were a delight, with authentic flavors presented in the most exquisite way. Every staff interaction reflected genuine care and professionalism, which elevated the stay even further. In short, La Sommità is the definition of discreet luxury – perfect for those who value peace, privacy, and unforgettable hospitality. We left with wonderful memories and will absolutely return.

This charming hotel is located in the center of the pedestrian-only part of town and commands an amazing view over the lands below. However, the warmth and hospitality of the staff tie it all together. No fake smiles here, all genuinely welcoming.

Ostuni is a great place to stay for a visit to beautiful Puglia which is quite a change from the busy cities of the North and the West. And La Sommita is the perfect place - five star hospitality and experience.

Best location in town with an exquisite view. This hotel is backed up to the cathedral and has one of the original entrance ways from the cathedral in it. It has a beautiful courtyard in the back with a hot tub, and places to lounge. It has a second floor terrace where we watched the sunset. Rooms are clean, beds are comfy and robes are super soft and luxurious. There is a spa with a Turkish bath and Hammam. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We were biking and they handled storage for us.

This hotel is a splurge and worth every penny. It has everything you would like in a resort located in Ostuni at the very top of the city. It Has a nice patio and area with a jacuzzi for relaxing - i unfortunately could not use it due to the weather. When we entered the city we called for directions and they sent someone to meet us and bring our car to a secure parking location and delivered us directly to the hotel. It was around 10 am and the manager brought us to the restaurant and provided us with a breakfast buffet immediately! We were treated very well by all personnel-the hotel is very upscale
