Excellent tour but must email in advance to check your times. Only 12€ for the tour with 4 different olive oils to taste. Very informative tour and we learnt a lot about olive trees dating back to the Roman times and olive oil making. There is a cave where the original olive presses live. This is a family run olive farm and they have A lot of passion about their olives and trees. Fantastic must see place.

Centro Storico

Reviewed By Marjo1187 - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

A nice town with lots of restaurants and entertainment up in the old town and the main piazza. From simple pizza restaurants to a true Michelin star In the alleys of the upper old town you can find a number of lounge bars where in the evening you can relax and enjoy a drink. In the summer weekends music on the main piazza and when we were there one of the bars had life music. The old town is a nice area to discover the small alleys, enjoy the view of the sea and visit the cathedral. In the country side around Ostuni there are a number of masseria’s where you can enjoy a country style diner. A nice place to use as a base to discover Puglia.

Piazza della Liberta

Reviewed By TJohnson449 - Santa Barbara, United States

This piazza has a special place in my heart because I lived near it for two years in the 1970s! I returned to visit in 2015 after having moved back to America 41 years earlier! Since the 2015 visit I have returned 3 more times because it is such a special town. These days it is a tourist destination, but Ostuni and the Piazza maintain their unique qualities and a much slower pace than the large cities and towns. I love relaxing in Piazza della Liberta where there are many coffee bars and restaurants there and near by. The obelisk with San Lorenzo D'Orosco standing at the very top, is still there, just like back in 1972 when I first saw him! And I expect he has been there for centuries before then. Right next to this piazza you find the entrance of the street that provides an easy walk uphill to Centro Storico, the most ancient part of the area. From there it is a truly majestic view of the Adriatic out beyond the olive orchards. Enjoy!
