Vista Ostuni, a soon-to-open boutique hotel in Puglia, Italy, is joining The Leading Hotels of the World.
“Vista Ostuni elegantly and authentically reflects the spirit of the White City,” said Deniz Omurgonulsen, vice president of member experience at The Leading Hotels of the World. “Perched on a hill overlooking a sea of centuries-old olive trees, the property invites guests to lose themselves in the whitewashed alleys of Ostuni, rejuvenate at a spa surrounded by nature, and explore the region’s cultural riches with the guidance of a dedicated team. It is a unique expression of Apulian hospitality and a valuable addition to our collection.”
Scheduled to open in July, Vista Ostuni is located just steps form the iconic “White City” of Ostuni and is nestled within the Plain of Ancient Olive Trees in the region’s Itria Valley. The hotel was created via the restoration of a Manifattura Tabacchi – a former factory housed in a 14th-century structure. It features 28 rooms and suites, arranged around an arched cloister.
On site amenities include two restaurants, two bars, and a rooftop offering sweeping 360-degree views that stretch from sea to city. Additional highlights include three swimming pools (two outdoor and one indoor), a spa, and a fully equipped gym.
“With Vista Ostuni, we aim to share the Vista vision of hospitality: authentic, tailor-made, respectful of history, and capable of giving back to the region,” said Cristina Zucchi, general manager of Lario Hotels. “It’s not just about welcoming guests, but about crafting bespoke experiences that leave a lasting impression.”
