Located on three hills a few kilometres away from the sea, Ostuni is one of the most fascinating jewels of Apulia. Known as the White City thanks to its characteristic lime-painted houses, this hamlet enchants visitors with its labyrinth of alleys, breathtaking views and an atmosphere rich in history.
Walking through the historic center, you are immersed into a maze of cobbled streets, medieval arches and stairways that open onto enchanting squares. The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, with its Gothic-Romanesque style facade, dominates the hamlet and exudes centuries of history and culture.
Ostuni not only has architectural beauty, but also offers culinary excellence: typical local dishes full of authentic flavours such as orecchiette with turnip tops, fresh burrata and extra virgin olive oil are to name but a few.
