La Sommità is set at the summit of Ostuni’s old town, a labyrinth of striking white alleys dating back to the 14th century (La Sommità translates as the Summit in English). Housed in a building featuring a Catalan-style portal, the hotel is discreetly hidden away, behind the town’s main church.

With its views over endless stretches of olive groves down to the sea and Ostuni’s white rooftops, the hotel’s intimate terraces provide the ideal setting for whiling away the balmy afternoons of Southern Italy or enjoying a refreshing cocktail. The elegant restaurant, Il Cielo, serves a fusion of  traditional Pugliese specialites with the modern creativity of Chef Andrea Cannalire. Relais La Sommità is a retreat, a refuge, a location that welcomes and delights and provides an oasis of calm from the hectic pace of modern life. The interior design sits between aesthetic minimalism and discreet luxury, with shades of white and cream, making the hotel the perfect destination to find peace and wellbeing in the enchanting region of Puglia.
