لا سوميتا ريلاي آند شاتو

We stayed at La Sommita in Ostuni this August for our anniversary, two years after getting married in Puglia — our favourite place in the world. The hotel has a true Italian charm and easily lives up to the Relais & Châteaux standard we’ve experienced at Caesar Augustus in Capri. The setting is stunning, with beautiful views, a chic pool, and a location just a stone’s throw from many of Ostuni’s famous spots. The food was excellent (especially breakfast and lunch), and the staff couldn’t do enough for us — always smiling and attentive. Our room was gorgeous, and no photo or video really captures how special this hotel feels. A lovely touch is their tuk-tuk service, which picks you up and drops you off, even late into the night — it makes you feel like a celebrity. Together with their thoughtful recommendations, it made our anniversary unforgettable.

We had the pleasure of staying at La Sommità Relais & Chateaux in Ostuni for three nights, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded expectations. The atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, with every detail carefully curated. What stood out most was the sense of privacy and tranquility – it truly felt like our own hidden retreat in the heart of Ostuni. The service was flawless: attentive without ever being intrusive. The rooms are elegant, serene, and designed for complete relaxation, while the common spaces radiate timeless charm. Breakfast and dining were a delight, with authentic flavors presented in the most exquisite way. Every staff interaction reflected genuine care and professionalism, which elevated the stay even further. In short, La Sommità is the definition of discreet luxury – perfect for those who value peace, privacy, and unforgettable hospitality. We left with wonderful memories and will absolutely return.

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.

L’hôtel est vieux, service catastrophique et très cher. Aucune suggestion proposée. Spa petite et pas accueillante. Hôtel à éviter

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.

Exelent everything Just wonderful Grazie
