Essential Italy

Dating back to the mid-500s, this historic hotel was built on the edge of the city wall by the Aragonese as a reception house for visiting officials, royals and soldiers. Beautiful vaulted ceilings prevail in the reception areas and restaurant, and most of the rooms have views across the magnificent olive trees to the sea. Sant’Eligio sits just outside the impressive city, a peaceful location with the advantage of being just a short walk from the centre of Ostuni.

The 22 rooms have been carefully designed and are furnished in-keeping with the historic building. All rooms are equipped with mini-bar, air conditioning / heating, safe, satellite TV, telephone, interenet connection and en-suite shower room.

The Relais boasts an excellent reputation for its beautifully restored restaurant, ‘L’Hostaria Antica Posada’, where you wil find many delightful local dishes attentively served in a wonderful historic setting.

With the city of Ostuni to one side, and the sparkling blue sea to the other, this beautiful hotel offers great value for money in an area that is brimming with culture, history and charm. A perfect destination for guests looking for either a short or long break in the Pugliese sunshine.
