Tucked away on a quiet street, close to the historic centre of Ostuni, this unique apartment combines eye-catching original features with contemporary design to offer the best of both worlds. The most notable example is undoubtedly the beautiful stone archway, which contains a state-of-the-art Jacuzzi tub, making for relaxing evenings as you enjoy a soak at the end of a day spent exploring. An angular steel structure forms the upper mezzanine level, with a steep staircase leading up onto the wooden platform that houses the comfortable bed. Your prominent location means you're perfectly positioned to discover the city's whitewashed old town. Each time you step outside the front door, you're likely to uncover a previously unnoticed alleyway, an enticing staircase leading out of view, or a traditional trattoria tucked away down a backstreet. Each Saturday, a market takes place a little over ten minutes' walk away, where you can stock up on essentials for the week. So why not purchase everything you need for a picnic, and drive the 9km to the coast for a day spent admiring the azure blue of the Adriatic beneath cloudless skies. Alternatively, visit the Valle d'Itria and tour its many wineries, or stop by any of Puglia's spectacular hilltop towns and villages.
