Casa degli Amici by BarbarHouse

Gorgeous property. Perfect location. Huge in size with a fantastic roof terance with amazing views. Great for a group of 5 or less. Would be happy to book again.

3rd room a very very small. Pub next door a bit noisy if you want quiet. Couldn’t close bedroom window. Air con only upstairs not in bedrooms.

L’Hébergement se situe dans le lieu historique d’Ostuni, il est assez atypique et très beau. Il y a 2 grandes chambres avec salle-de-bains-WC

La troisième chambre est quasiment de la taille du lit (140). Il faut ramper sur le lit pour se coucher côté fenêtre. Pour 2 adultes c’est absolument inapproprié, il n’y a pas de climatisation et il est impossible de dormir en fermant la porte, le lit grince et s’enfonce sur le milieu, la salle-de-bains-WC de cette chambre est à l’étage, accessible par un escalier étroit en colimaçon dangereux la nuit. Nous avons payé 150€ supplémentaires pour avoir le linge de maison (3 couples) et 50€ pour être arrivé après 20h. Nous avons été très déçus également par le manque de préparation de l’appartement, il n’y avait pas de sac poubelle, pas de savon dans les lave-mains, pas de gel douche, pas de papier WC, pas de pastilles pour le lave-vaisselle, pas de tapis de sol (SdB) et juste 4 dosettes de café (pour 6), comme s’il n’y avait aucune vérification avant l’arrivée des nouveaux locataires (nous). Il est vrai que l’appartement est bien situé, mais on ne peut pas parler de calme, car il y a à proximité un bar qui diffuse très fort de la musique à l’extérieur, pour attirer le chaland, jusqu’à 2 heures du matin. De plus, les fêtards de sortis ont tendance à faire une pause bruyante sur le perron de la porte d’entrée qui est bien pratique pour eux (devant les fenêtres des chambres). Nous avons l’habitude de louer en Italie et via booking et c’est la première fois que la prestation est aussi décevante.

The location is fantastic—situated on the outer wall of La Città Bianca. A short walk up the stairs takes you to a bustling main footway lined with charming bars and restaurants, all offering breath taking views of the sea. The property itself is spacious, boasting outstanding panoramic views over a picturesque landscape of olive trees. The feature stonework ceiling upstairs is a work of art. The large, well-equipped kitchen is perfect for hosting groups and sharing memorable meals together.

The apartment is in need of a thorough deep clean. Within just 10 minutes of wearing white socks, they were noticeably dirty. The shower tiles in the bathroom could be cleaned easily with shower gel and a quick wipe, and the toilet in the upstairs bathroom had visible brown stains. There were no cleaning supplies provided, making it difficult to maintain cleanliness during our week-long stay. For instance, wiping down surfaces after cooking had to be done with the washing-up sponge, which was already used when we arrived. The sofa was discolored and had an unpleasant odor, so we covered it with a sheet from one of the spare beds. As we stayed during winter, duvets were provided, but they were simply laid over the white sheets without covers, which felt unhygienic. The wardrobes contained a mismatched assortment of hangers, and one even had the owner’s dry cleaning hanging in it. The bedroom windows are quite small, which made the rooms feel dark and a bit cramped. Similarly, the bathrooms had minimal lighting, with only one fixture above the mirror, so we had to use a bedside lamp to improve visibility. The middle bedroom, in particular, is very small and would not be comfortable for two adults. The apartment was quite expensive for a week’s stay compared to other properties in Ostuni, but the price seemed to reflect only the amount of space rather than the quality of it. While the property has potential, addressing these issues would greatly improve the overall experience.

Beautiful views and the apartment has a roof terrace and great architectural features

Beware of the restriction on the road access. The road is part of a controlled zone area so you need to park away from the apartment and carry your luggage, or you will get a fine. As we found out too late.

Lovely big apartment with traditional features in quiet location but close to historic centre.

Stunning renovation within the outer walls of the town. Cave like apartment with modern interior. 3 bedrooms, 2 with ensuite. Dining area, kitchen, outdoor terrace and balcony looking out to the sea. Close to restaurants and shopping. Beautiful apartment and great value.

A spiral staircase connecting bedrooms to living area was narrow. Manageable bit be aware. 3rd bedroom not suitable for two people.

Central location and well appointed. Great deck with excellent views and comfortable outdoor furniture. Sufficient appliances allow for self catering, with many restaurants within close walking distance.

Pedestrians can be noisy late at night. But quiet from midnight.
