Experience Timeless Grandeur: Vista Ostuni - Where History Meets Modern Luxury.

The Genesis of Opulence: From Ancient Heritage to Contemporary Retreat

The esteemed Vista Ostuni hotel officially opened its doors in July, breathing new life into a historic 14th-century palazzo located in Ostuni, affectionately known as the White City of Puglia. This transformation marks a significant achievement for the independent Italian hospitality company, establishing a premier destination that honors its storied past while embracing modern luxury.

Architectural Marvel: A Fusion of Eras and Artistic Vision

Situated centrally within Ostuni, this exquisite boutique hotel reimagines a former convent, which later became a tobacco factory, into a sophisticated sanctuary. Spearheaded by renowned Milanese architect Roberto Murgia of RMA Studio, the extensive restoration project meticulously preserved over 64,000 square feet of historical interiors. This includes impressive soaring ceilings and a distinctive glass-roofed cloister, seamlessly integrating them with modern Italian design elements.

Exquisite Accommodations and Holistic Wellness Sanctuaries

Vista Ostuni boasts 28 elegantly appointed rooms and suites, each reflecting a luxurious interpretation of traditional Apulian design and warm hospitality. The interiors feature a harmonious palette of bright neutrals complemented by inviting, vibrant hues. Guests can indulge in ultimate relaxation at the property’s wellness spa, which utilizes premium Biologique Recherche products, unwind in the tranquil indoor pool, or maintain their fitness regimen at the fully equipped fitness center.

Culinary Journeys and Enchanting Social Spaces

The hotel's gastronomic offerings are a highlight, with Michelin-starred chef Andrea Berton at the helm of Berton al Vista, the signature fine-dining restaurant, where he celebrates Puglia's abundant local flavors and culinary heritage. For a more relaxed setting, Bianca Bistrot offers a delightful all-day menu by the garden pool, nestled amidst the serene olive groves. Guests can also enjoy bespoke beverages at the elegant Chiostro Bar, situated within the hotel's historic cloister, or ascend to the Infinity rooftop bar, featuring another refreshing swimming pool, for breathtaking views. The lush Mediterranean olive groves and aromatic native plants, masterfully designed by landscape architect Erik Dhont, further enhance the tranquil ambiance.

A Vision of Heritage and Sustainable Luxury

Bianca Passera, Chairwoman of Vista, expressed profound passion for the restoration, emphasizing the privilege of honoring the palazzo’s heritage while collaborating with talented Italian artisans and utilizing sustainable, locally sourced materials to breathe new life into the property. Luigi Passera, CEO, reiterated the hotel's mission to introduce global travelers to the lesser-explored treasures of Italy, maintaining an unwavering commitment to luxury. This commitment is reflected in the starting room rates, set at $1,004 (or €853) per night, promising an exclusive and unforgettable experience.
