B&B Casa d'Autore

I was expecting something special at Casa d'autore given the beautiful pictures, the very good reviews and upper price range. I was not gravely disappointed, but there is definitely room for improvement at an establishment of this high calibre.|The guest house is very close to the lovely main square and other attractions of the walkable old town, and free and unrestricted street parking was easily found - in mid-June anyway. Lovely big bedroom in beautifully restored old palazzo, big bathroom, all in restful tones of white and beige, matching the old stone. Good linen. However, no coffee or tea making facilities in room, nor anywhere else in the establishment, as my diligent search, in desperation for a cup of tea, proved. At €220 per night, this is not acceptable.|Lovely pool and inner courtyard. It has been paved since the pictures were published here, showing grass and flowers, which is a pity. It looks more like a small and quite stark piazza now, with one or two trees and shrubs, a few struggling geraniums and a magnificent old olive tree. |The house is very beautifully if minimally decorated with some lovely antiques and some quite peculiar modern pieces which, in my opinion, rather jar on the eye. I especially loathed those brassy metallic side tables/pillars in the dining room. To what end are they there?|The place is run by the sweet Maris. She is very kind but merely a servant fee'd and can't really do anything to mitigate the impersonal flavour of the place as a whole.|The breakfast, despite a delicious omlett prepared specially by Maris, was entirely average. Peculiar absence of rolls and decent bread (except for several types of croissants and toasting bread.)|My key to the room was impossible to operate and i hadn't time to do a PhD in Italian security arrangements. It caused me some inconvenience and delay. |All in all, then, a competent guest house, but very much in need of improvement in certain basic respects. See my 5* review of a similar place in Matino for how things should work at the Casa d'autore.|

On the edge of the old town centre this luxuriously presented premises is a great launching place for exploring this historic and famous town. Fantastic breakfast and great service from Maris the premises manager.

What can I possibly say to capture how truly perfect this luxury B&B is? From the warm, welcoming staff (special shout-out to Maris, who went above and beyond for us and made us feel like family) to the stunning property itself, every detail is flawless.||Its location is unbeatable—you can wander into the heart of Ostuni without ever touching your car, then return to spend lazy afternoons by the glorious pool, soaking in the golden Apulian sun.||The exquisite artwork lining the walls and the heirloom furniture throughout give this “palace” an undeniable air of opulence, yet it remains wonderfully comfortable and inviting.||We will absolutely be back. Grazie infinite!

Great location, easy access by car, but just 5 minutes walk from the historical center. Beautiful designed interior and nice garden with swimming pool and with view of white city houses. We were lucky, we could parking front of the hotel building on the street. In the room was just one center lamp without reading lights. I little bit overpriced, but altogether perfect place for sightseeing and holiday trips too.

Our stay was amazing. The accommodation is so luxurious and big, with a huge outdoor area and stunning pool. The accommodation is so quiet and relaxing as well. Our room was super clean, spacious and comfortable. All the staff were exceptional, kind and really accommodating. One of the staff in particular, Maris, was so amazing and helpful and made us a tasty breakfast every morning. It’s a very short walk to the centre of town and there are parking areas a short walk away which was very handy. Would stay here again!

This beautiful accommodation is an oasis in busy Ostuni. The rooms are stylish and spacious. The communal area is tastefully decorated, and the addition of the pool and seating area is such a plus after a day of sightseeing. With so few rooms we often felt like the pool was just ours. It’s on a street just a three minute walk to the main square, yet is lovely and peaceful. The owners live upstairs, and are friendly, although their English is about as good as my Italian! Here, is where they play their trump card. They have an employee called Maris, and she is amazing. She prepares the breakfasts, with the addition of cakes she bakes herself. She welcomes the guests, she is around most of the day should you need her, and she’s just fantastic. Such an asset. The rooms are cleaned daily, and the towels changed daily too. This was our second visit to the White City, and if we ever return again we would happily stay here. Thank you all for a perfect holiday.

First class accommodations with great amenities. The pool and terrace a slice of heaven. Outstanding breakfast, too! Note: there was some confusion at check out claiming we needed to pay for the room, but we had prepaid through Booking.com. The manager who was not on-site was difficult to deal with and it took over 30 minutes for her to fix the error despite the fact I showed the Booking app confirming full payment a week ago. These things happen but be advised to stick to your proof if this happens.

This was our best stay in Puglia. This grand 18th century home has been converted into a 6-8 guest room B&B. Rooms are large and beautifully designed with original artwork. There is a gorgeous secluded pool area which was a perfect way to relax in the heat of the afternoon. The hotel is perfectly located , only a 5 minute walk into Ostuni. Breakfast was ample with eggs and coffee made to order. Thank you Maris for going out of your way to make our stay so memorable. Highly recommend this hotel. And of course Birra , the owner’s dog was adorable.
