Il Quinto Elemento - Residenza di Charme

Excellent location and an amazing property. Stunning apartment - amazing architecture and design within a stunning building. Very modern with with historic charm and full of character

Bedroom was on a mezzanine floor and bathroom was downstairs - so not ideal for anyone (middle aged!!) who needs the bathroom during the night. Lots of random steps to be navigated in the night, so be careful!

The location was very central in Ostuni, and the hosts (Emanuele and Mariangela) were very accommodating and responsive. They gave us great recommendations for different activities, eateries, and bars for all occasions, were open and responsive to questions (including about the history of the building itself), and offered gifts on arrival from the local area. We had to leave super early on our final day due to an early morning train and we were able to with clear instructions and no problems. It really was a fantastic place to stay and I'd highly recommend staying here.

Honestly, nothing. Everything was really, really good. It makes this sound like a fake review somewhat but it was genuinely a very good location, with great hosts and hospitality, and a brilliant room! One thing I would mention is that when you're warned that the Ostuni train station is quite some way away from the town itself down a very long, steep hill and it would be best to get the bus or a taxi - listen to the advice!

The building

Beautifully renovated, great staff m, great facilities and amazing welcoming pack!

There was no full length mirror, maybe a standalone mirror could be placed in the apartment and aircon controls and centralised so you have to text owner to turn aircon off and on.
