La Sommità, Ostuni, Puglia, Italy
Perched high above the ancient white-washed town of Ostuni, hidden behind the main church, La Sommità (the summit) is a beautiful 16th-century petite palace transformed into an absolute gem of a hotel.
Behind its Catalan-style portal, the harmonized cream-and-white tones, natural stone, and minimalist décor provide a veritable oasis for you to disconnect and recharge. Take time out to read under the shade of an alcove or at the edge of the little pool; get lost staring across the rooftops, to the groves of olive trees and out to the Adriatic; then savour the refined, reinvented Puglian cuisine.
