"We stayed in a very large room which was awesome, fascinating stonework. Comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Inclusive breakfast was so fresh and many choices of different items. Central location in the old city. Highly recommend"
"Lovely hotel, located in a central part of Ostuni. Staff were helpful, breakfast enjoyable in lovely part of the building.
Nothing to fault, except no toiletries available, only a dozen packets of shower caps. I think skin moisturisers and hair products would have been a nice touch for the price of this lovely 4* hotel."
"A perfect stay at Casa Baldassarre. The room was clean and welcoming, and self check-in was really easy. Alessandra was very kind and always available on WhatsApp. Great location, with parking and breakfast at Bar Nepenta just a few steps away. Highly recommended!"
