La Sommità Relais & Chateaux Hotel

We wandered into La Sommita without a reservation, hoping for something light to eat—and were welcomed with such warmth and grace that it became one of the most memorable moments of our trip. Adele, the hostess, and our server Salvatore were beyond exceptional. In a world where luxury can often feel rigid or rehearsed, they offered something far more rare: sincerity. Unpretentious, thoughtful, and deeply accommodating, they made us feel at home in a setting that’s otherwise dreamlike in beauty. What began as a small bite turned into a culinary embrace—the charcuterie, the bread, every detail perfectly done. This is the kind of experience that defines true luxury: not excess, but presence. Thank you, Adele and Salvatore, for reminding us what hospitality truly means.

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.

Everyone goes to Ostuni has to stay at La Sommità! Friendly staff, amazing view and all the little touches make you feel like home! The hotel itself is beautiful and tastefully designed! I didn’t want to leave on my last day there!

Highly recommended ♥️

La Sommita offers outstanding service and an elegant and comfortable stay. The staff are friendly and efficient.

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

From the moment we arrived we entered a world or luxury. The hotel decor is beautiful with artwork and furniture of the highest quality. Food perfect at every time with perfect wines to choose from. The staff all seemed genuinely happy to be working there.

I don't understand how this hotel can get anything other than a 5* review. Perched near the top of Ostuni, with great views, and attractive grounds, this was a perfect place to stay. The hotel staff are exceptionally welcoming and helpful. While not in the busy season, we were driven back and forth to the train station on demand. This may not be the case in peak season as they do mention transportation to a meeting point outside of the restricted area. We had dinner at the restaurant which is also deserving of 5 stars. Great breakfast, so much so that we never opted for the available eggs. Very interesting choices! I never like to single any one person out as all of them were wonderful but their customer experience manager (don't know his real title) was everywhere, doing whatever was required to make this an outstanding stay.

The staff is amazing - so friendly, professional and helpful. The hotel is BEAUTIFUL! Breakfast in the garden was magical!! The location in Ostuni is perfect - on a quiet, private street, but in the nicest part of the city. Evening cocktail on the roof-top terrace over-looking the olive groves and the ocean was outstanding!!! Cielo Restaurant is elegant and delicious, with an outstanding wine list. Definitely no better place to stay in Ostuni. We hope to return soon!
