Vista Ostuni is a five-star luxury hotel and part of the Vista brand – a new hospitality model conceived by Bianca and Luigi Passera, respectively President and CEO, with the aim of bringing a luxury experience to places where it has not yet arrived. The group’s boutique hotels are defined by a modern, Italian-rooted yet international interior design, paired with a rich offering of tailor-made services where guest privacy and respect are at the heart of the experience. Service excellence, innovation, and a deep commitment to sustainability are core values found throughout the properties of the Group, which has operated as a Benefit Corporation since 2021.
More than 6,000 square metres of historic interiors have been preserved and reimagined – from its grand entrance and lofty ceilings to an unexpected cloister bathed in light from a glass ceiling above.
Set among Mediterranean olive groves, the pool area sits within a ‘translucent garden’ rich in aromatic herbs, fruit trees, and Mediterranean maquis, where olive and carob trees lend structure and a strong sense of place to the landscape. The culinary experience, led by Michelin-starred chef Andrea Berton, is thoughtfully curated to celebrate Puglia’s rich culinary traditions and exceptional local flavours. Berton al Vista, the signature fine dining restaurant, showcases the region’s high quality locally sourced ingredients while Bianca Bistrot offers a lively, all-day garden-pool setting, serving breakfast through to aperitivo and dinner.
