Ostuni & Other Gems

The White City

Glimpses of the sea, limestone walls, winding alleyways and sunlit squares that come alive in the evening: Ostuni is the “White City”, suspended between the sky and endless stretches of ancient olive groves.

In the heart of the Itria Valley, this historic hilltop town holds a unique architectural and cultural heritage, with artisan workshops, baroque churches, the majestic Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta.

Its panoramic position offers breathtaking views over the Adriatic Sea, just a few minutes away, while the inland countryside reveals traditional masserie, vineyards and endless stretches of ancient olive trees.

An ideal destination for those looking to immerse themselves in the culture, cuisine and natural beauty of this corner of Puglia.
