The house
VistaRestored convent citadel
Sunlight filters through the soaring glass canopy into the cloister, where blood-orange banquettes and backlit spirits invite relaxed afternoon conversation.
“That space is now a showstopping central hall with a trio of curving De Sede ‘Snake’ sofas and chartreuse curtains…”

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
Vista Ostuni draws on Puglia’s contrasts: heavy stone walls set against airy vaulted ceilings, shaded interiors giving way to sunlit gardens...
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The whitewashed alleys and lively squares of Ostuni begin just steps away, surrounded by ancient olive trees stretching toward the coast.
The rooms
Soaring vaulted stone ceilings rise above glazed terracotta floors, complemented by woven rattan panels, rich Dedar textiles, and marble-clad bathrooms.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Three pools span the grounds, including a vaulted subterranean mosaic pool and a rooftop deck overlooking Ostuni.
The spa and gym
Underground treatment suites host Biologique Recherche rituals, beside a sauna and a Technogym fitness studio.
Dogs stay too.
Infinity Bar
The rooftop terrace sits under a mirrored canopy, looking across hanging herb gardens toward Ostuni and the Adriatic.
This is a next-generation grand hotel set within a five-story historic palazzo... with every window, terrace and nook opening onto the vast, striking beauty of the Apulian landscape.
At the table
Bianca Bistrot serves seasonal regional fare by the garden, and Berton al Vista prepares refined Mediterranean tasting menus.
How it began
Originally founded in the 14th century as a convent, the building later operated as a bustling tobacco factory until its 1968 closure.
