Hotel Park Novecento Resort

We had fantastic 5 nights in the hotel. The staff were great and the hotel really special overall. The gardens and pool was really beautiful and the hotel had real character and history. We would love to stay again. Its a little bit of a walk from the town centre but not really a big problem as we like to walk and you can get taxis if needed. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Our first room, #34, was one floor above the lobby. It was small as all the rooms are. The shower was phone booth small with no shower wand. It was impossible for me to wash my legs and feet. The airconditioner was inadequate for the small room. We moved to a room one floor below the lobby floor. It was much better, still small, but with a bigger shower and was not as hot.

We booked for only one night, and wish we could have stayed longer.

We were after a holiday that was all about relaxing, good food and a bit of culture and that is exactly what we got! We went at the end of September beginning of October and I was worried about the weather but it was perfect 30 degrees most days and only one afternoon of wet weather. The hotel is beautiful and perfectly positioned for exploring Ostuni and the best that Puglia has to offer.

The hotel itself is nice enough, but the rooms are TINY! The bathroom is also very small, with possibly the smallest shower I have ever used! The bathroom is kept clean but it's quite dated and certainly could use a refurbishment (room & bathroom). Staff were nice, breakfast ok, pool was nice. The hotel seemed deserted though and we were there in the italian peak period. Very average hotel overall - the only real plus is the swimming pool.

Very nice hotel, good room, pleasant staff. Wifi is only available in the lobby and breakfast is a bit disappointing (but it is the norm in Italy even in classy hotels). Would recommend the hotel anyways.

Beautiful exteriors, set in peaceful grounds, an oasis of tranquility. For the number of rooms the external facilities are very spacious, a large swimming pool, elegant restaurant setting, simple, good non fussy local cusine. Excellent service all round, the staff were very professional and friendly, they can help with all kind of local bookings and recommendations. The resort has held onto many 4 star qualities even though it was downgraded to 3 star (I suspect they will soon reclaim 4 star). The standard rooms and bathroom are unexpectedly small especially given the spacious feel of the resort but if you're travelling round the area (and Ostuni is strategic for visiting numerous points of interest), then this becomes less of a priority. Large breakfast buffet, served in beautiful large room, opening onto the hotel gardens. For August, the location was perfect, away from the busy bustle of Ostuni town. Besides the standard room dimension, there is nothing else you could fault the hotel.

The hotel staff were most helpful and polite the general manager could not be faulted, however, within my 5 night stay the restaurant was closed on two occasions, one the first evening I was offered no alternative and on the third evening there was a private party that thumped disco music until 2am. The advertising states dining room breakfast only, I therefore checked this with the hotel who assured me at the time of booking the restaurant would be open for guests wishing to have dinner at the hotel. The advertising also states there is a bar/lounge, also coffee shop/cafe ...there is neither..however if you wish, you can walk 2 flights of stairs from the terrace to the reception where you can get a coffee or beer, but thats not mentioned . The staff cant be faulted, all polite and very helpful, the food itself (when you can get it) is not bad, however if you have the King prawns beware, they are not cleaned, all in all the price for a room is much higher than the sum of the hotels parts.I got a bit of a deal so the price I paid was fair, I would use this hotel again if the price for a room were more realistic,or was offered another deal !! oh just to mention I looked at the rooms the hotel likes to call SUPERIOR these are the same as a basic room with the addition of a coffee machine (saves a long walk to reception) they are very slightly larger and you may get access to a terrace but in my opinion does not warrant the extra cost..overall its not a bad place, but if you are spending any amount of time within the hotel there is really nothing much to do ....no bar...no coffee shop...there is a lovely pool but thats about it.
