Getting around

The apartment is centrally located making all local amenities accessible on foot. AT CHECKIN: I ADVISE: Best to unload bags and every guest and family members at bar DA PASQUALE o by Restaurant Porta Nuova. Then, one person goes to park or free streets opposite Caseificio Carbonara o in parcheggio Stella. Then, you can simply google “OSTERIA DEL TEMPO PERSO”’address and walk by following Google maps. The house is opposite to the “Osteria del Tempo Perso”. To get to the beach (Villa Nova), take the bus from Corso Vittorio Emanuele II (1/2 mile from apartment) for approx 13 mins, to the last stop. Timetable is subject to change but last return bus is generally around 1910, ask at the local Tabacchi for times and tickets.

Interaction with guest

I am here to help make your stay memorable. Always available via WhatsApp. Just ask :) Newly refurbished in a high quality, rustic Italian style. Close to all bars, restaurants, pizzerias, crepe bars, supermarkets, shops, bus stop to the beach, a small cinema and the tourist information office.

Response from the owner Dear Jayne, your comments are greatly appreciated. Thx so much. We have relaced after your comment the towels. For season 2019 new sheets will arrive but they may have a little tear o tiny hole but they are super clean. That’s important! The air con works properly. I am not a dodgy Italian that pretends I have air con. I take this assumption really seriously. Electric unfortunately sometimes have fault and in south Italy everything is slow. The technician was chased but couldn’t come close to the weekend. You have been unlucky. Well, mosquito cannot be control. Not sure how I can help... it is not a feature of the house. I personally, don’t get bitten anyway I go. For example if in the same room there is my sister. She will get 30 bites in a night. It is not a house by a pond a water font that attract mosquito. But little things like close curtains when lights are on it is always a trick. If lights are on and windows are left open the all day, there is a higher chance more will fly in. You have 3 sizes towels. FAce, hand and body. It is a classic set. Please feel free to ask for an extra bigger next time. Thanks again for staying. I wish you all the best.

Response from the owner I am really sorry that you feel this way. I have to say, unfortunately, if one person out of ten is declaring the false just because is trying to get a refund, it is not really nice. It was indeed an unusual rainy and thunder storm week for Ostuni. We did all we could. Till we arrange a close hotel. It was my priority and the managing agent's intent to make the client happy.

“Just Fabulous. A little Jem”

Reviewed 12 Jun 2013

What a fantastic little place. the pictures dont do justic for how nice this place is. The apartment its self was very comfortable and extremely clean. It has every thing you need. myself and husband stayed here and can not recommenend it enough.There was plenty of room for the two of us. ( its big enough for family of 3 or 4 but only 1 large bedroom, the other room is a lounge with the sofa bed. ) The only very small crictism is that the outside furnature needs replacing. But apart from that its just amazing. The roof terrace is out of this world. We were welcome by a gentlman called francesco, who was very polite and helpful, he also meet us just as we left to collect the keys. Graziella, the lady who owns the place was very helpful when booking and made everything really easy and straight forward. please do not hesitate to book this place. Its a little jem.
