Via Scipione Petrarolo 7 72017 Ostuni − Italy
“In that cluster of white houses, ringed by narrow roads and sudden widenings, people live an independent, almost full life, as if it were the continuation of some period in ancient history”.
With these words, Pier Paolo Pasolini seems to be talking about Ostuni.
And right on top of “that cluster of white houses”, suspended between the sky and sea, there is La Sommità Relais. A 5-star boutique hotel inside a 16th century residence.
The Relais “La Sommità”, one of the few 5 star hotels in Puglia, is a historic 16th century residence, which represents a jewel in the crown of this old town of Ostuni, a renowned tourist resort in Puglia and noted as the “White city”.
Within this luxury hotel, the Relais “La Sommità” in Puglia, our Guests rediscover the five senses: the furnishings, the fabrics and ornaments develop the emotion of touch, fragrances and music stimulate the sense of smell and hearing whilst lights and flavours rouse sight and taste, enabling guests to sustain their day-to-day rituals and everyday life in comfort and relaxation without giving up a decisive and total design.
For a holiday steeped in luxury and exclusivity, making your holiday in Puglia an unforgettable one.
All rooms have their own history and its own peculiarities that make La Sommità the ideal relay for those seeking tranquility, breathtaking views and 5-star services in the historic center of Ostuni.
Our refined rooms stand out for the muted colours that hint at the town’s architecture, the prestigious materials used, such as wood and Apulia stone, and essential furniture.
