Ostuni a Mare

10/10 Excellent
"Me and my partner had a lovely time at Ostuni a Mare, the reception staff, cleaners, waitresses and bar staff were fantastic. The pool was very clean and having 3 to choose from was a bonus, the little train takes you straight to the beach and going between beach and pool was easy and well organised. Breakfast had a large selection and catered to everyone, from healthy options, sweet or savoury and very good quality. I recommend anyone this place if they want a nice few days of relaxation. Ostuni town is a short 15 minute drive and approx 30 minutes from Brindisi airport. I’d suggest getting a car hire as cabs can be pricey approx €40-80 each way."

"If we could have given this hotel 10 stars we would have. It is an amazing place. From the second you arrive, they make you feel so special and welcome. The rooms, facilities, pool areas, restaurants are all so beautiful and well maintained. And most importantly, the staff are all so incredibly nice and welcoming. They all made it a point to introduce themselves and say hello to us (including my 2 year old) every time they saw us. It's a special place."
