In the maze of white alleyways and sun-drenched little squares, in the heart of the stunning city of Ostuni, there is a hidden corner of paradise where time seems to slow down and every detail tells a story: welcome to Palazzo Bellavista. This historic residence, dating back to medieval times and once part of the ancient castle standing just behind it, is nestled in one of the most charming and poetic spots of the old town, offering a unique and authentic experience deeply rooted in the soul of Puglia.
Just steps away from the renowned Riccardo Caffè, an iconic bar and a symbol of Ostuni’s vibrant nightlife, the house boasts a privileged location. Choosing Palazzo Bellavista means choosing to live in the beating heart of the city, amidst the energy of summer evenings and the timeless allure of its most romantic corners. It’s important to note that, due to its central location, the area can be lively and animated late into the evening—a detail that many consider an added value for a stay immersed in the authentic vitality of Ostuni.
The entrance to the house is on the first floor of a historic stone building, where guests are welcomed into a warm, intimate atmosphere, lovingly curated down to the smallest detail. The master bedroom, featuring a double bed framed by an ancient stone alcove, evokes a feeling of comfort and old-world romance. Nearby, a cozy sitting area with a sofa and TV invites rest, while a writing desk calls for slow, thoughtful moments of reflection inspired by the peaceful surroundings. The bathroom, spacious and equipped with a bathtub and shower combo, blends practicality with elegance.
Climbing to the second floor reveals a second bedroom that retains the charm of traditional homes, with low ceilings and irregular walls—a cozy nest suspended between sky and stone. This room includes two single beds, making it ideal for families or small groups of friends. In a separate room, also on the same floor, there is the third bedroom with a double bed. This level also features a small, well-finished bathroom.
But ascending once more leads to the most radiant and unforgettable part of Palazzo Bellavista: the third floor opens into a welcoming living area with a fully equipped kitchen, a dining table, and a convivial atmosphere that encourages shared meals and moments. From here, guests can access the home’s true gem: the private panoramic terrace. A space suspended between sky and sea, where the view stretches over the silvery expanses of ancient olive groves, sweeps across the soft curves of the Itria Valley, and melts into the deep blue of the Adriatic Sea.
The terrace is the perfect setting for unforgettable moments: a slow breakfast as the sun rises over the sea, a moonlit dinner surrounded by the scent of jasmine, an aperitivo at sunset with the warm wind caressing your skin. In this magical space between sky and earth, there is also an outdoor shower, ideal for cooling off under the sun or stars.
Each floor of the house, through its windows, offers breathtaking views of the landscape: a picturesque tapestry of olive groves and sea. The golden light of Puglia flows into every room, gently touching the stones, arches, and furnishings.
The interiors of Palazzo Bellavista are styled with taste and passion: every object, fabric, and detail has been lovingly selected to create an atmosphere that is both elegant and authentic, deeply welcoming. Traditional lines blend with touches of contemporary design, striking a perfect balance between modern comfort and Mediterranean soul.
Palazzo Bellavista is more than just a home: it’s an invitation to slow down, to listen to the silence echoing through ancient stones, to lose yourself in the scents and colors of a generous land. It is the ideal choice for those seeking a stay filled with charm, poetry, and authenticity—with the rare privilege of experiencing the White City in its truest form, through elegance, history, and sea views!
