Best Possible Puglia Jump-off Point
This property is so amazing! It was our honeymoon, and Flo's beautiful, historic, and very well-furnished apartment was our first stop. Flo was so welcoming, she met us at the apartment and gave us some information about Ostuni, where to go, etc. She has a tour guide business, speaks perfect English, and is a very lovely person. The location, both in Ostuni and in Puglia, was the best ever. We could walk to the Centro Storico in about ten minutes, and everything we needed was within walking distance. Ostuni is a gorgeous city, and everyone was very nice. We did not end up cooking much, but the kitchen is very well stocked, and we could have cooked all of our meals there if we wanted to. We also discovered that Flo's family produces organic olive oil, which we had the pleasure of not only having a tasting with Flo and Ginafranco, her husband, but also went and harvested olives in the glorious late October sunshine. We even got treated to a lovely meal al fresco at their beautiful spot! All in all, it was a perfect first week of our two week trip to Puglia. Our only regret is not going on a tour with Flo! Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed!

Cosy, charming, central location
Filomena (a tour guide) and GianFranco (an expert agronomist) were wonderful hosts. They knew Ostuni and the surrounding areas inside out, and responded promptly to any request. The apartment is located in the historic center, in a charming, quiet small alley typical of Ostuni, yet barely 5 min from the action in the main square, Piazza della Liberta, and all the cafes, restaurants, and stores you can think of. Once I got my bearings, I typically started my day with fresh cornettos from the bakery around the corner, explored a bit the old city and beaches nearby (approx. 15 min away by car), followed by a glass of wine in late afternoon and a stroll in the piazza before dinner in one of the many restaurants and pizzerias. The apartment is exactly as described in the ad, bright, cosy, smartly organized by the owners with all the needed amenities, and perfect for a small family or couple. A terrace, next to the bedroom, offers a splendid view of Ostuni and the sea in the distance, and is a refuge for lazy relaxation with a drink or dinner with friends. Parking is fairly easy on the street, but I would advise renting a small to mid-size car. My only regret is that I did not stay longer.

Extrem nette und ordentliche Altstadtwohnung
Wir haben uns in dem Haus sehr wohl gefühlt! Es ist alles sehr schön renoviert und hergerichtet und gut ausgestattet. Und ich liebe solche netten alten Wohnungen! Die Lage ist super - total ruhig und doch nah am Hauptplatz. Marina war sehr freundlich und gewissenhaft. Sie hatte allerdings etwas Bedenken wegen unseren zwei Jungs (5 und 3), weil die Treppen schon sehr steil sind und die Dachterrasse teilweise nicht richtig abgesichert ist. Außerdem ist die Couch und das Geschirr wohl teilweise recht wertvoll. Also muss man mit kleinen Kindern schon immer ein bisschen hinterher sein. Ein Auto ist einerseits notwendig um z.B. zum Strand zu kommen (der bei Torre Guaceto ist sehr schön - einen Strandschirm zum Mitnehmen gibt es sogar in der Wohnung!), andererseits muss man natürlich immer durch die engen Straßen kurven und Parkplatz suchen. Aber auch hier hat uns Marina einige gute Möglichkeiten gezeigt und uns das System erklärt, so dass das auch immer problemlos ging. Und die Dachterrasse ist wirklich toll! Eigentlich sitzt man auf der zweiten Ebene, von wo aus man tatsächlich einen schönen Blick auf den Altstadthügel von Ostuni und bis zum Meer hat. Bei starkem Wind oder zu viel Sonne sind wir aber auch eine Ebene tiefer gesessen.

Well maintained home in Ostuni which served a the perfect base for our Puglia trip
A gracious and helpful hostess who provided much useful information and support. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Ostuni and have no doubt that we will return there.The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well equipped for our needs with shopping and cafes and restaurants close by. We had no difficulty in Parking a " somewhat too big" Peugeot estate car and in accessing the main roads and autostrada.The weather in March was pleasantly warm and ideal for walking around the local attractions

schöne Wohnung mit perfekter Gastgeberin
die Wohnung ist sehr schön, perfekt und praktisch ausgestattet; toll ist die Dachterrasse, die wir sogar im Dezember einige Male nutzen konnten. Noch wichtiger allerdings war die gut funktionierende Heizung, denn es war teilweise empfindlich kalt in Ostuni, und wir haben den Raum warm bekommen, ohne am Ende eine horrende Rechung zu zahlen - wir waren positiv überrascht, wie niedrig die Kosten für die Heizung lagen. Sehr gemütlich ist das Schlafzimmer oben unter dem Dach, man ist weit weg und es ist wunderbar ruhig. Die Lage im Ort ist toll; wenige Schritte ins "reale" Leben und wenige Schritte in die eher touristische Altstadt (die zum Glück im Winter nicht überlaufen ist). Marina Tanzarella war vom ersten Kontakt an sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, antwortete auf jedes Anliegen sofort und ausführlich und kümmerte sich vom ersten Moment der Korrespondenz sehr ernsthaft und zuverlässig darum, dass alles gut ging. Die Begegnung in Ostuni war sehr herzlich - und außerdem sehr darauf bedacht, alles absolut korrekt abzuwickeln (Zählerstände). Eine perfekte Vermieterin, die außerdem tausend Fragen beantworten kann!

Location agréable et bien située ds Ostuni
Nous avons passé 4 nuits dans l'appartement de Marina. C'est un appartement très bien arrangé et décoré. Nous étions en famille avec 3 grands enfants . Nous avons trouvé que la seconde chambre était très petite et j'ai regretté qu'il ne soit pas indiqué qu'elle était meublée avec un lit pliant peu confortable.Notre fils aîné a malgré tout bien dormi car il n'est pas exigeant pour le qualité du couchage. L'appartement est très bien situé à Ostuni ( trés belle ville) et constitue un lieu agréable pour visiter le Sud des pouilles. Cette location me parait un peu chère par rapport à sa surface et au fait que l'on peut presque considérer qu'elle n'a qu'une seule chambre. ( canapé lit ds le séjour). A conseiller pour 4 personnes au maximum mais de préférence pour 2 ou 3 personnes car le prix est calculé en fonction du nombre de personnes.

Abbiamo soggiornato dal 13 al 20 agosto in questa casa situata proprio a meno di 100 metri dal centro storico di Ostuni. tutto molto bello, pulitissimo e gentilissima la signora Marina che ci ha fatto sentire subito a nostro agio. La citta' è molto bella, con tanta gente dalla mattina alla sera tardi, con tanti locali nei ristoranti lungo i vicoli del centro storico. mare molto bello e citta' vicina anche per effettuare le gite culturali. grazie per tutto!

Stilvolle Altstadtwohnung
Die neu renovierte Wohnung ist sehr geschmackvoll und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Die beiden Dachterrassen sind sehr schön, mit Blick bis zum Meer. Sie liegt am Rand der Altstadt in einer ruhigen Seitengasse. In wenigen Schritten erreicht man den Hauptplatz (Piazza della Libertà) mit Bars und Restaurants und in entgegengesetzter Richtung die vielfältigen Einkaufsmöglichkeiten der Neustadt. Die sehr attraktive Stadt Ostuni liegt zentral für Erkundungen des Valle d‘Itria, aber auch Brindisi oder Bari sind gut erreichbar. Die Naturschutzgebiete am Meer sind von außerordentlicher Schönheit und sowohl zum Schwimmen als auch für Spaziergänge am Meer sehr empfehlenswert. Die Vermieterin ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und daran interessiert, dass der Aufenthalt angenehm ist. Die Wohnung ist für einen Urlaub in Apulien sehr zu empfehlen. Consiglio vivamente questo alloggio.

I loved this apartment!
The apartment was charming and comfortable. It wasn't far from the cathedral and some very reasonable restaurants. We had a car and parking was a little tight, but overall, not difficult. From Ostuni it was a short trip to Alberobello and several other sites we'd wanted to see. When we experienced a bit of an Internet access issue, the owner saw to its resolution quickly and cheerfully. I recommend this apartment highly. This may sound silly, but it was very nice to be able to do my laundry and hang it up on the terrace.

Gemütliches Ferienhaus inmitten von Ostuni
Nachdem wir eine tolle Woche an der Amalfiküste verbracht haben, sind wir hierher nach Ostuni, Apulien gefahren, um die zweite Septemberwoche zu genießen. Da sich das Ferienhaus direkt im Zentrum von Ostuni an einer nicht befahrbaren Straße befindet, war es nicht ganz so einfach, das Haus zu finden. Wir wurden allerdings herzlich von der Vermieterin empfangen. Die Hausübergabe fand sehr ausführlich in Englisch - schnell statt, akkorat hat Marina mit uns sämtliche Anfangszählerstände aufgenommen und protokolliert. Das Haus war sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet, Bad = Dusche sehr originell. Der Aufstieg in die oberen Schlafräume samt Reisegepäck war auf Grund der schmalen und steilen Treppe etwas ungewöhnlich, da man den Koffer vor sich hertragen mußte. Belohnt wurde der "steile Aufstieg" dann allerdings auf der wunderschönen Dachterrasse, welche aus drei Ebenen bestand und einen fantastischen Ausblick über die Stadt, die Umgebung und die Adria bot. Wir haben oft da oben gesessen, gegrillt, gegessen, aber auch die eine oder andere Flasche Wein genossen. Etwas schwierig ist die Parkplatzsituation gewesen, da kostenfreie Parkplätze in der näheren Umgebung schwer zu bekommen waren und teilweise ca. 500 Meter zwischen Parkplatz und Haus lagen. Ein Problem ist es für uns allerdings nicht gewesen. Ostuni ist eine schöne Stadt, mit verwinkelten Gassen, schönen Bars und Restaurants. Lecker getrunken, gespeist und das quirligen Abendleben genossen haben wir sowohl im Coffee & More, als auch im Mozzarella & Co direkt an der Piazza. Am Abreisetag wurden durch Marina wieder die Zählerstände genau aufgenommen und wir sind überrascht gewesen, wie günstig die Nebenkosten bei einer Woche doch waren. Das Haus können wir bedenkenlos weiterempfehlen, wie auch die zwei genannten Bistro´s. Uns hat der Urlaub in Apulien sehr gefallen. Viele Grüße von David, Mandy & Tobi

Fantastic location and fantastic owner!
Marina met us at the Piazza della Liberta and took us to our rental which was just off Via Roma in Ostuni. The location is fantastic, just walk down the hill to the Piazza where you can enjoy the Italian lifestyle to its fullest! The Piazza is full of caffes,, gelato shops, and lots of things to see and do. The home is best for a couple or a couple with two young kids. The bedroom is on the second floor where the half bath is located. The living room has a pull-out bed which would be good for kids and the full bath is off the living room. We made meals easily when we were too tired to go out. Marina has stocked her home with everything you could possibly need to prepare your own meals. The stairs are kind of steep, but every other home we saw had steep stairs as well. We're both 70 and didn't have much of a problem with them. The large bed shown in the photo is very comfortable. While there are two very nice televisions, all programs were in Italian, we are in their country after all! I'm sure if you were English speaking and asked Marina to include an English speaking channel, she could arrange that for you if you felt that you needed one. Marina met us as planned, helped us with our luggage, got us settled, and sat with us for over an hour getting us acclimated to the area. The latter helped us enormously as this was our first visit to the area. Marina was terrific and you should feel comfortable in renting her home as she is professional, thoughtful, and extremely helpful. We've only been home two days and I miss our Italian home already! Ostuni and the surrounding towns are so wonderful and Marina's home in Ostuni is the perfect place from which to explore Pulgia! Thank you, Marina, for your kindness and knowledge!

Tolle, zentral gelegene Wohnung
Wir verbrachten vom 2. - 10.Mai 2015 erholsame Tage in der schönen, zentral gelegenen Wohnung in Ostuni. Die hilfsbereite und freundliche Art von Marina haben wir sehr geschätzt. Die Wohnung war gut eingerichtet, und die Dachterrasse mit dem traumhaften Ausblick haben wir bei der Abenddämmerung sehr geschätzt. Die Nebenkosten für Gas, Strom und Wasser waren sehr!! gering und fair abgerechnet! Der Aufstieg in den oberen Stock ist etwas steil und eng. Mit dem öffentlichen Verkehr sind vorallem die Küstenorte gut zu erreichen. Um an schöne Strandplätze zu gelangen, ist ein Auto sehr empfehlenswert. Im Frühling 2016 werden wir wiederkommen!

Perfect location in Ostuni
The apartment is located in a small and quiet street only 3 minutes by foot from the historical centre of Ostuni. It is equipped with nearly everything you need, including a washing machine, kitchenware and a roof terrace, and everything is very clean. The wifi was working well. Ostuni is a charming and beautiful small town and a good starting point for exploring Puglia! The owner, Marina, is very kind and helpful!

PERFECT PLACE IN PUGLIA!
What a wonderful stay, highlighted by this very charming home. You couldn't ask for a better location, right in the city center, yet off the main street so plenty of peace and quiet. The house is lovely, with so many authentic features, from the vaulted ceilings, wood floors, delightful and comfortable decor. We enjoyed the fullly equipped kitchen by cooking local delicacies every day. There are small and large food shops, bars, restaurants all within walking distance for every taste and budget. There is a not to miss weekly market on Saturday, as good as any I have ever seen anywhere in Italy. There are so many great things to mention, but most of all, our most lovely host, Marina. She went out of her way to not only outfit the property with EVERYTHING you could possibly need and more, but was a wealth of information and ideas for things to do in the area. She is a sublime host, taking time to assure a most memorable experience. She speaks with such authority and pride and taught us alot about this very special part of Italy. As a licensed tour guide and with her husband an outstanding organic olive oil producer, staying here gives you a distinct advantage over other rentals that may not have such knowledgable and passionate hosts. Our last day we were also treated to a visit to some ancient olive trees that left us breathless. There are so many things that made this trip so memorable, we would recommend this property to everyone that wants to explore beautiful Puglia and to have fond memories that make you want to go back as soon as possible.

Notre séjour à Ostuni
À l’été 2014, nous avons séjourné durant deux semaines dans ce très bel appartement spacieux et très abordable où la tranquillité et la propreté étaient au rendez-vous. Il peut loger sans difficulté trois personnes et est bien meublé. Il dispose d’une terrasse avec vue sur la ville. Il se trouve au cœur de la ville d’Ostuni, la città bianca. On peut donc se rendre au centre-ville à pied et y découvrir, notamment, la Place de la liberté, de nombreuses boutiques et des restaurants offrant une cuisine typique. Ostuni est située dans la magnifique région des Pouilles et est très près de la mer et de villes extraordinaires telles que Lecce, Monopoli, Martina Franca, Alberobello. La gare est accessible en taxi, mais peu de trains passent à Ostuni. Aussi il est préférable d’avoir une voiture pour visiter la région. Nous avons également pu bénéficier d’un accueil plus que chaleureux de la propriétaire des lieux. Celle-ci, étant guide touristique, nous a permis de profiter de sa connaissance approfondie des attraits des Pouilles : restaurants, fermes, vignobles, oliveraies, etc. Sans aucune hésitation, nous vous recommandons cette résidence.

Davvero un bella settimana
La Sig.ra Marina e' gentilissima e ci ha anche fatto un po' da Cicerone indicandoci posti bellissimi da visitare. La casa e' confortevole e ha un bellissimo terrazzino sui tetti di Ostuni dove abbiamo fatto delle cenette a lume di candela. Essendo in una stradina del centro storico e' vicinissima a tutti i negozi bar e ristoranti ma e' anche silenziosa e tranquilla. Per andare al mare e alle spiagge usavamo la macchina e abbiamo sempre trovato parcheggio nelle vicinanze pur essendo la settimana prima di Ferragosto. Insomma davvero tutto bene. Grazie Marina e grazie Ostuni Dario e Daria

FANTASTICA
Casa stupenda, studiata nei minimi particolari, molto pulita e confortevole. È stata comoda anche per ospitare un bimbo di 3 anni. Situata al centro storico, in una zona tranquilla e in una zona strategica x poter raggiungere facilmente le zone vicine senza rimanere bloccati nel traffico. La proprietaria è una persona squisita, molto gentile e sempre disponibile a dare informazioni varie sulla zona e su come muoversi. Insomma, vi consiglio questa casa vacanze, noi ci ritorneremo volentieri.

So Much Better Than the Pictures
If you've managed to discover Ostuni and Puglia, you're already ahead, but I'm sure by choosing to stay in Marina's wonderful apartment, you've just guaranteed yourself a perfect holiday. The apartment is as all the other reviews have stated; it's just a few minutes walk from the main square, it's immaculately clean, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay, there's air conditioning, a cute little kitchen to cook your own meals if you wish and the rooftop terrace will allow you plenty of time to enjoy the sunshine and sounds of the city. But there's something to this apartment that the pictures will never be able to illustrate. It has such a great feel to it. The moment you walk in the shiny, green door and climb the steps up to the first level, it feels like a home. And after enduring what was probably a very long day of travel to get there, that feeling is a welcome relief. Marina is a terrific hostess, very knowledegable of the local area and sights and as everyone else has also said, she makes amazing olive oil which you can buy and take home with you at the end of your trip. If you're thinking of a holiday in Puglia, Ostuni is a great place to base yourself. Situated about an hour from Brindisi and half an hour from Bari airports, it's an easy drive to many other towns like Martina Franca, Lecce, Cisternino, Otranto and Monopoli. You certainly won't run out of day trip possibilities. It's not so simple without a car, but you can get the local shuttle to the train station (about 2km's down the hill) and then catch a train to many towns along the coast. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Marina's apartment to anyone. It was just what I needed for a chilled out week in a beautiful part of the world.

Outstanding!
My husband and I visited the beautiful town of Ostuni for the second time. Firstly I would say that the pictures do not do this house justice. It is far better. The house is set in a quite cobbled street minutes away from the town square which boasts, bars, restaurants, post office, cash machine, fish shop, butchers, everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The house became our ' home' for 10 days thanks to the lovely Marina, who went above and beyond to help make our stay so enjoyable. We couldn't have asked for a better hostess. Having arrived a day early due to flight availability, Marina arranged for us to stay on an Olive farm for 1 night ( featured last week on Gino's travels around Italy) Marina met us and took us to the farm and arranged to meet us the following day to take to the house. The 3 terraces each give views of the old town and sea. The house was immaculately clean and well equipped.it is obviously loved and cared for. An abundance of linen and towels. We used the washing machine which was a god send. Without exception the restaurants are lovely. Look for the sign 'osteria' which guarenteed authentic regional cooking. We actually ate in most evenings. I would suggest that if you wished to venture further afield a car is a must. There is a large supermarket " simply" a short distance away, great fish, meet and veg counter. Ostuni in September reverts from a tourist destination to a wonderful italian retreat. Little or no English is spoken which adds to it's charm. Overall, we have stayed in many houses across the entire Italy and this would rate as one of the best, with the most charming hostess and family ever! Thank you Marina and your lovely. family.

Un de mes meilleurs souvenirs d'Italie, où je séjourne régulièrement pendant les vacances... L'appartement est idéalement situé, au calme mais proche du centre historique, et surtout l'accueil de la propriétaire est exceptionnel. Grazie mille cara Marina !

Centrally located in beautiful Ostuni
Here you live close to the senter of Ostuni. Online 5 min from the fortress, with shops, restaurants and ice and coffee shops. The apartment was clean and nice, with all the necessary equipment. Stunning views from the roof terrace. Marina is a wonderful host, tells us everything we need to know, and comes with good advice. Driving us even to the airport at 5am in the morning.AWESOME. And her olive oil is best. RECOMMENDED Isabel & Lars

What makes this property unique

The house is well cared for, in the forniture and the materials, for instance kitchen and bathroom tiles are hand-painted, on the stairs and in the double bedroom there is an antique oak parquet floor, the pavement of the rest of the house is made of typical local stone. We pay a lot of attention to cleaning, and wish that our guests feel welcomed in a warm and nice atmosphere
