This cosy studio apartment is in a 16th-century mansion renovated into apartments. The charm and history of the home have been retained – you can even visit the original chapel, and the coat of arms of one of the first families to own the home can be seen on the front door. Inside, space is limited, and the sleeping arrangements aren’t the most comfortable or private – we think this is best suited to one adult and one child sharing. You will have access to the shared lounge and relaxation area though, giving you a bit more room to spread out.

Home truths
This is a studio apartment, so there isn’t much privacy or space. You might want to pack lightly.
One guest will be sleeping on a single pull-out bed, and the other guest on a single sofa bed. We think this home is suitable for one adult and one child at most, as the sofa bed is on the smaller side. One of the beds is also at mezzanine level, only accessible via stairs.
This home is one of fifteen apartments in a renovated 16th-century mansion. The apartments share common spaces including a lounge, ancient chapel, internal courtyard, and a relaxation area with a spa.

Local guide
About Ostuni
You’ll probably spot Ostuni long before you reach the so-called White City of Puglia. It rises up on three hills, above the rust-red earth punctuated by olive trees. Shambling, narrow streets lead up the hillside to the crowning 12th-century Ostuni Cathedral. It’s a veritable labyrinth of ancient alleyways, where you can sample traditional Puglian fare like handmade orecchiette and oozing dollops of burrata in terrace restaurants, or taste a Salice...
