Hotel Park Novecento Resort

The building is an old mansion tastefully refurbished. The grounds are very good and there is an excellent swimming pool. It is in a good location near Ostuni. To get into the main square is a 30 minute walk, or a 20 euro taxi ride or you take your car. Rooms are very comfortable with nice patios with views over the gardens. Breakfast is good with a reasonable choice and the staff are very friendly. The restaurant is only open for breakfast which is a pity as after a day sightseeing you may prefer to dine in but that is not an option. Reception staff are very helpful and professional. Besides checking in and out they also provide a bar service, arrange taxis and recommend restaurants. This a very comfortable and welcoming hotel with its lovely building and grounds. I would happily stay here again in the future.

We arrived in Ostuni on the 30th August and booked into a hotel that did not live up to expectations. On Saturday the 2nd we had suffered enough and decided to move. We were fortunate to find the Novecento and what a find it was. I was greeted by Sonia who showed me round the rooms and I made my choice. I then collected my wife to get her thoughts and as we drove up the drive, she said 'I want to live here!!'. The hotel is fabulous!! We were offered an immediate coffee by the lovely Anna, who made coffee, breakfast, lunch & rinks though out our stay. There are lots of details to admire. Reception is 'old English' and there are loads of quirky bits & pieces to admire. There are lots of exposed rocks that add real character and the common parts are very tastefully lit & decorated. The hotel itself is beautiful and looks like a traditional Italian Palazzo. We moved into our room with a fab bathroom (the shower is set into a rock-wall) and the bedroom was large, brights and clean. We also had a private terrace. The pool is gorgeous and as it is a small hotel it does not get crowded. The grounds of the hotel are well maintained and it also helps that it is only a 30 minute walk from Old Ostuni!! All of the team (Sonia on reception during the day, Giorgia late afternoon, early evening and Luigi at night plus Massimo are all delightful. Nothing is too much trouble and you are always greeted with a smile. Raffaella does a great job at keeping the rooms clean and up to scratch and Anna (see earlier) is a superstar!! If you want a wonderful, romantic stay in a fabulous hotel in Ostuni then do not look elsewhere!! You will not regret it!!

We absolutely loved our stay here, it is one of the best hotels I’ve been to. The airline had lost our bags en route and we showed up tired and frustrated from that experience but the hotel staff were so welcoming and kind that we soon snapped out of it. Marilyn in particular was especially helpful in helping us navigate the airline’s lost baggage system and even took it over for us, calling each day and speaking with them (our Italian is terrible). All the staff were just the best and whatever they could do to help, they would. We felt completely at home here and can’t wait for our return visit. The hotel and grounds are beautiful and it’s nice to be a little out of town so you can enjoy the serenity of the countryside. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!

The hotel has character and most of the staff are attentive and try their best to help as much as they can. The one thing that ruined our stay is that the Hotel is understaffed and they do not provide guests 24 hr access to the Hotel. Despite advising reception we were attending a wedding and we needed to get back at a specific time. Upon our return we were left locked outside of the front gate stranded. In my wedding suit I had to climb over the gate to access the hotel. An absolute disaster, and potential health and safety risk. My wife was distraught, we informed the reception the next morning and all that was provided was a mere sorry. They didnt even keep to the agreement of not charging us for that night. A real shame as the hotel had so much potential.
