Vista Ostuni, a highly anticipated luxury hotel in the heart of Ostuni, Puglia, officially opens its doors this July, offering a one-of-a-kind experience in one of Italy’s most charming regions. Known for its stunning whitewashed streets, Ostuni sets the stage for this exceptional hotel from Vista, the independent Italian hospitality group.

With its perfect blend of modern luxury and historic charm, Vista Ostuni promises a stay filled with Mediterranean pools, wellness treatments featuring Biologique Recherche, and gourmet dining by Michelin-starred chef Andrea Berton.

Set within a beautifully restored 14th-century stone palazzo, Vista Ostuni sits at the center of Ostuni, a charming town renowned for its whitewashed houses and stunning views. The property features 28 spacious rooms and suites, each designed to reflect the warmth and elegance of Puglia, offering a refined take on the region’s distinctive hospitality.

The palazzo’s fascinating history adds to its allure. Originally built as a convent before being repurposed as a tobacco-processing factory, the building underwent a careful restoration by renowned architect Roberto Murgia, founder of Milan’s RMA Studio. More than 6,000 square meters of the original interior have been lovingly preserved, including the grand entrance, soaring ceilings, and a striking cloister with natural light filtering through a glass ceiling.

Wellness and Leisure at Vista Ostuni

For those seeking relaxation, Vista Ostuni offers an expansive spa featuring treatments using the renowned Biologique Recherche products. The tranquil spa includes a serene indoor pool designed for deep relaxation, along with a state-of-the-art fitness center. Guests can unwind outdoors at the rooftop infinity pool, which overlooks the surrounding countryside, or enjoy a refreshing dip in the year-round garden pool, surrounded by Mediterranean flora.

The hotel’s garden area, which spans three hectares, is a true tribute to the Apulian landscape. Designed by landscape architect Erik Dhont, the garden combines native plants, aromatic herbs, and olive trees, creating a harmonious space where guests can relax in secluded corners or take in breathtaking views from the belvedere terrace overlooking the ocean. The garden’s integration of local nature makes it more than just a retreat—it is a living celebration of Puglia’s natural beauty.

A Culinary Journey with Michelin-Starred Chef Andrea Berton

Vista Ostuni is also home to a world-class dining experience, spearheaded by Michelin-starred chef Andrea Berton.

At the hotel’s signature fine-dining restaurant, Berton al Vista, guests can indulge in a menu that showcases the very best of local Apulian ingredients and flavors.

The all-day dining venue, Bianca Bistrot, offers a more casual yet equally vibrant atmosphere, where guests can enjoy everything from breakfast to dinner in a relaxed garden-pool setting.

For a more intimate experience, guests can head to the Chiostro Bar for cocktails in a peaceful environment, or visit the rooftop Infinity Bar, where the scent of Mediterranean herbs fills the air as guests enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding countryside.

Curated Experiences in Puglia

Vista Ostuni is not just about luxury accommodation; it also offers tailored experiences for those eager to explore the region. Guests can take private beach transfers, embark on cultural tours of local towns, or join bespoke excursions to nearby highlights like Lecce, Alberobello, and Matera.

Vista Ostuni is more than just a luxury hotel in Puglia; it’s an invitation to explore the beauty of Apulia in a way that’s as unique as the region itself. Whether you’re basking by Mediterranean pools, enjoying the flavors of Apulian cuisine at Bianca Bistrot, or indulging in a bespoke experience curated just for you, Vista Ostuni is a destination that effortlessly combines the best of both worlds—relaxation and adventure. With Michelin chef Andrea Berton’s culinary expertise and access to local gems, this new hotel opening in Ostuni is sure to redefine luxury travel in Italy.
