Relais Patriarca

This was once a nice property, but is now very tired, in dire need of a refresh, both with decor and also utilities. Cooking utensils are sparse, apart from cutlery (not even a wooden spoon on site), so do not expect to do a lot of cooking. Also, an army of ants will be waiting eagerly to consume any morsels of food left lying around, so make sure you clean all surfaces perfectly. The 'host' could not have been less interested if she tried and ignored questions on WhatsApp during our stay about recycling and also about the lack of mop, which prevented us from cleaning the floors during the week we were there. On the positive side, the showers are great, it is close to the centre of Ostuni and also supermarkets. Two and a half stars, rounded up to three.

Bellissima location, ci siamo trovati benissimo anche se la stanza era un po' piccola ma tutto sommato molto apprezzabile

Nice location with parking. Photograph looks nothing like the property’s pool. It’s actually a small round pool that was closed and looked more like a kids paddling pool. Patio full of ants. Small accommodation that needed more airing and mosquito nets to allow. TV impossible to operate. Very disappointed.

The location and grounds of the property were fantastic. The accommodation itself was fine, although it felt like it could use some TLC - dirty pool, broken outdoor lighting, damaged outdoor furniture. Our interactions with the property managers were disappointing. The check-in was not ideal, with the beds not properly set up as requested and the agent seemingly more interested in selling add-on tours (although they did correct the mistake quite quickly). Questions over WhatsApp were either not answered or not answered very helpfully. And, the check out was unpleasant with the agent hovering over us to take the keys as we tried to organise our children of 4 and 6 out the door. We also found it a bit off-putting that the cleaner also regularly crossed our patio past glass-doors in the kirchen to access a cupboard for products when cleaning other rooms on the property.

My teenage girls loved this place. The pool was a hit regardless of the temperature being a bit on the cool side. Fabulous views out the the sea. The house was incredibly unique and characteristic inside the domed styled building. The kitchen as probably not overly practical in all fairness, but it was fine for a short stay. There was parking which was free. The property is a little bit further away from the main part of the old town than we realised. Probably a 20 minute walk.

Les photos du lieu sont bien prises mais la réalité est différente! Le studio supérieur est extrêmement petit, il ne faut pas avoir deux grandes valises. Il pourrait être cosy, mais tout est vieillissant à l’intérieur. Le matelas doit être très ancien, nous avons pas osé regarder sous les draps. Point positif, l’emplacement, Ostuni rapidement accessible à pieds et pour visiter les alentours en voiture. Le jardin doit également être agréable en été, si la piscine est entretenue.

Apartment was a little small although good value for money. The company informed me that check out was at 10am at least 4 times when I informed them the first time I was leaving at 8am for my next destination. Location was good 10 min walk into the town.

Holiday in Puglia

Heerlijke rustig omgeving. Genoeg in de buurt te zien en na een dag heerlijk op eigen terras rustig van de omgeving genieten met een goed glas wijn

We absolutely LOVED everything about this property. It was an extremely peaceful, mini paradise. We were very impressed with the quality & quantity of everything provided - the beds were big & VERY comfortable; the kitchen had multiples of every dish, cup, glass, utensil you could possibly need; we had plenty of towels. Everything worked - the plumbing, the wifi, the lights. Best of all, this little house was exceptionally charming, decorated with beautiful colorful tiles everywhere and arched, stone ceilings. Every corner was lovely & thoughtfully adorned with beautiful decor but functional as well. The huge terrace offered astounding views of the sea & rolling hills directly in front of us & was the best spot for breakfast every morning. Lastly, the property is conveniently located only 10 min away by foot from the Old Town center so no need to drive. When I return to Ostuni, i will definitely return when this property is available. It’s the perfect holiday spot! Grazie to Palma :-)!
