Vico di Ostuni Stone Houses in the Heart of Ostuni by Rentbeat

Small but really cute home. Good amenities and great location close to the city centre.

Too much noise outside during the morning, you can hear the cars from the road and people talking just outside the front door.

Fantastic location, stones throw from the main square. We loved the stone decor with have it some good character.

No sharp knife or chopping board

Exactly as advertised. Inexpensive room with kitchenette, small but clean and conveniently located. Yes, it's true that you can hear whatever goes on in the street outside, but it's not the fault of the property owners, and guests who complain about this are unreasonable: if you want soundproofing, stay at one of the many more expensive hotels around Ostuni. This is a small apartment in an old building opening directly onto a stone-paved alley; of course there will be some street noise. We didn't find it bad in October, but perhaps it is worse at the height of the tourist season. The location is excellent: a few minutes from the historic center, but just far enough out to make access by car quick and easy. We had no trouble finding free street parking on via Antonio Specchia during our stay. Excellent value for the price paid.

(1) The hot water heater under the sink in apartment 9 had a slow leak. The owners had placed a bowl under it, but we had to empty the bowl a couple of times to avoid listening to the dripping. (2) Like others, I found the online check-in procedure more cumbersome than strictly necessary, but it's not terrible, and the advantage is that you don't need to wait to meet with a proprietor when checking in: once you've filled out all the online forms and submitted photos of your passports, they leave the key in a lockbox outside the door and it's waiting for you when you arrive. If you're traveling without internet access (and some people still do), it's a dealbreaker, but for us it was a fair trade.

Centrally located and fine for one night, helpful early check in.

The room we were allocated looks nothing like the pictures. It is extremely small and one continuous room.
