Hotel Monte Sarago

Stayed at the Monte Sarago Villas in mid September. The villas are located up the hill behind the Hotel Monte Sarago but are accessible via the hotel and up historic steps. It means you still feel part of and have access to the facilities at the hotel. Wonderful hotel staff, especially Teresa, who went out of her way to assist us after Lastminute messed up our booking. We stayed at the villas to have use of the pool and were not disappointed. Incredible views from the villa/apartment and while the steep historic steps are challenging and would not suit all, it did not affect our holiday. The pool and apartments were clean and spacious. Good aircon, kitchen and other facilities at the apartment. Fantastic location as while the centre of Ostuni looks a long way off it is around a 10 minute very pleasant, mostly flat walk away. Reception staff at the hotel were extremely friendly, welcoming and shared good recommendations and local knowledge. Hotel terrace is also a lovely spot to have a pre or post dinner drink with beautiful views. Excellent and reasonably priced house wine. The bar manager and his lovely team get a special mention. We much enjoyed our visit and would love to return.

We stayed at the Monte Sarago Hotel for eleven days last month. Everything was perfect: staff kind, friendly and helpful; location just 5 minutes from the historic centre of Ostuni; restaurant food with enough variety to keep us interested during our extended stay, always well prepared and presented. I can highly recommend this hotel.

I stayed in the villas which are above the hotel. I almost gave a 2 star review. The hotel and villas are nice. The view is great, breakfast is good, and it's easy to get to and from. However, the villas are up a steep dirt road that some taxi drivers can't deal with or approx 150 very steep steps. While this makes for a lovely view, it's impossible to get even small luggage up. The hotel seemingly knows this as they offer a "welcome service " that consists of a van that drives you to your room/villa. But oddly, they have no service for getting you back down. Ridiculous hassle to arrange and had to pay €10 to get down and then another taxi fee to the airport. I won't stay here again because this is such a preventable problem and the hotel should just fix it.

I stayed here when I first visited Ostuni and it was outstanding. We have since bought a place here but always looking for excuses to return to this fantastic hotel. The customer service of the reception staff is just out of this world - nothing is too much trouble. And would highly recommend the spa - have just had the most amazing massage there with Sylviana. Can’t wait to return

The hotel is spectacular! Had the opportunity to stay in one of the 2 br apartments above the hotel on the feast of the Assumption 2018. There is nothing comparable to this spot. The staff was exemplary escorting us with a vehicle in front of us driving up to the apartment. The views from the pool are especially memorable. Breakfast at the hotel - buffet - was also excellent. The town on the holiday was especially alive late into the night. From the town you can see the lit cross above the apartments at night. Great place! recommended.
