Reviews of Palazzo Stunis - Dimora di Charme

The building and accommodation itself are stunning, spotless and beautifully furnished. Staying here felt like an authentic Ostuni experience, once you start exploring the area you will know what I mean. Matteo could not be more welcoming and helpful.

Nothing

Fantastic host, amazing breakfast, beautiful accommodations and short walk to historic center.

I had the most amazing stay in this incredibly charming home. The place was impeccably clean and restored to give a modern feel while retaining it's original 19th Century details, it was exquisite! Matteo and the staff were as charming as their place, so warm, welcoming, kind, and helpful. Matteo was a delight to talk with and not only suggested some of his favorite places to eat and visit in the region, but was happy to make reservations for me as well. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in (I asked him the brand because I want the same one for home), amazing shower, breakfast, and I can go on and on. It was by far the nicest place I stayed at in my 3 week journey through Southern Italy. Also to note, I felt extremely comfortable here traveling alone. I hope I get to stay here one day again!

I really can't think of anything

The authenticity of the place and the exquisite quality and service by owner/manager.

hospitality & comfort

Nothing

Matteo met us to help with carrying our bags up the one flight of stairs. It's a newly renovated historic property that has been in his family for generations. It has been beautifully decorated with a hint of history. The breakfast was amazing, and the rooms were very comfy with all of the expected amenities. We could walk to the town square, and when it rained, he arranged for our tuk tuk to pick us up at the property so we could enjoy the day. We would stay here again. Thanks, Matteo, for helping to make our trip extra special.

Superlative in every way

Absolutely nothing

Beautiful place to stay. Fantastic host. Fabulous breakfast. Excellent facilities.

Nothing really not to like.

This property has been renovated back to its former glory by a family member. It has been done with such love and consideration that you feel it as soon as you enter.

Nothing - it was delightful!

We had a wonderful stay at Palazzo Stunis. The property is beautifully restored and decorated. It is very clean and comfortable. Matteo is an excellent host. He is very responsive and took care of everything. Thank you for making our stay in Ostuni a memorable one.

Palazzo Stunis is a beautiful B&B located in the charming town of Ostuni. The location is great, just a stone's throw from the center of town. But the best part of staying here is Matteo, the owner and Innkeeper. His pride in his family home is evident from the painstaking renovations he made to the property. So beautiful, every detail. The service at Palazzo Stunis is unparalled. Matteo not only provided us with the history of the house and town , but also gave us wonderful suggestions for dinner, after which he made reservations for us. We enjoyed a delicious meal. Thank you. Matteo also took care of parking and retrieving our car, which in a pedestrian town car be a big challenge. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend Matteo and Palazzo Stunis.

Nothing

the mix of traditional family home and modern high quality finishing and bathrooms . The owner was so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.

The walk back from the Old Town.

The property was impeccably clean and beautiful.

Beautiful family home that has been transformed into a small bed and breakfast with wonderful attention to detail, lovely comfortable rooms and in a great location for Ostuni restaurants and attractions.

Mateo is the most gracious, amazing host we ever have had. He explained in such detail the places of interest in Ostuni and catered the restaurant recommendations to our particular taste. The house is full of history and beyond amazing, since he has a personal connection to the place the experience of both meeting him and staying in is unparalleled. The breakfast surpased our expectatives and was such a delight full of sweet pastries and fruit and more internationally friendly options (such as eggs and ham), each room is unique and full of history, ours was floral inspired and I just know that the details, from the interior design to the bed blankets and towels are all high quality and were handpicked by Mateo, we deeply appreciated his commitment to make it a memorable stay for guest in both in his b&b and in Ostuni. This b&b made me rethink my definition of luxury (not mass marketed) and how once in a lifetime unique stays still exist.

I wished we had stayed longer!

Stunning, authentic property. Very well maintained. A lovely 10 minute walk to the centre. The room was perfect and the air conditioning helped this summer. Gorgeous bedroom with lots of space for all our bags. Mateo is the most fabulous host and was amazing throughout our stay. Reserved all our restaurants and was available for any questions. Thank you for the morning coffee!

My husband and I recently stayed at Palazzo Stunis on our honeymoon and were welcomed by our fabulous host Matteo! The property, the location, the history, the incredible breakfast - the entire experience was unforgettable and amazing. Matteo gave us not only a beautiful place to stay but incredible hospitality. After serving us the most delightful and beautifully presented breakfast I have ever seen, he sat with us and explained the ins and outs of not only Ostuni, but all the parts of Puglia we were visiting. He kindly suggested different day trips, beaches and restaurants to visit, which became the foundation of our 2 weeks in Puglia. Everything he recommended was perfect and we are certain we would not have had the same experiences without spending time with Matteo. He also booked us some amazing restaurants in Ostuni (which were some of the best meals of our entire 4 weeks in Italy) and suggested beautiful bars for pre/post dinner drinks along with the best view points to view the white city. Our only regret was not staying for longer. Matteo, we will most certainly be back and highly recommend your beautiful property to all future guests. Bellissimo!

We had the most memorable stay at Palazzo Stunis to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The boutique hotel is in an excellent location which is quiet and only a short walk to the main square. Parking is also available. It is an exquisitely renovated former family home, decorated to the highest standards by the meticulous owner Matteo. It is immaculately clean and nothing is too much trouble for Matteo who makes you feel very much at home. Breakfast in the morning is lovely with a varied selection of fresh pastries, meats and cheeses amongst other things. We felt so spoilt by Matteo who takes such pride in what he does. The service here is impeccable, second to none and we had some lovely recommendations of where to eat, visit and where to buy the best delicacies to take back to the U.K. Matteo is professional and friendly and contactable by phone for whatever you need. I was able to contact him before my departure to arrange some special touches for my wife’s birthday and he was so obliging and made the day special. We have already recommended the hotel to others and look forward to returning if we are ever lucky enough to visit the beautiful Ostuni again.

Matteo is a lovely host and made our stay memorable.

We found that everything good said about the owner/host, Matteo, is correct. He's friendly, welcoming, and makes himself available for any questions or help. Parking in Ostuni is a challenge, but Matteo literally parked and retrieved our rental car for us multiple times, even telling us to call him 10 min. before returning to the B&B so he could be there to park it for us! Our room was large and had its own access to the street. The only downside with it was some traffic noise, but that eventually stopped. The linens on the bed were changed daily and there was a welcome heated rack in the bathroom for drying towels. The breakfast buffet had many tasty options. We wouldn't hesitate to book Palazzo Stunis - Dimora di Charme again.
