The Palazzo was less than 10 minutes walk from the old town which was fabulous for us. We could do our sight seeing in the morning after breakfast before returning later via the local supermarket where we’d purchase our burrata, tomatoes and basil for lunch. In the afternoons, if we weren’t going out, we would head to the pool for our afternoon swim. We could relax there or on our terrace overlooking the rooftops of Ostuni. Our hosts were just lovely and Valentina was extremely helpful at the front desk. All round a really fantastic stay and a great place to base yourself for exploring the surrounding area. P.S. the restaurant next door is really great and so much more reasonable than the prices in the old town. Worth trying.

Nothing

Amazing property! An actual palazzo ! Looks like you stepped into a movie set : huge reception hall with high ceilings , decorated impeccably, very impressive . Beautiful backyard with small pool and lounge chairs , pomegranate and orange trees . We actually stayed at the “ servants” part of the house, which made it even cooler . Very comfortable and ( again) decorated perfectly. Our breakfast was included and it was very good with great variety of food , very friendly staff . Our host Valentina was amazing ! She met us at the property , explained everything, greeted us every morning , booked our restaurants for dinner and maintained communication constantly. We felt very welcomed and taken care of . And here is the bonus : they have 2 rooms dedicated to wine tasting ( need to order ) and spa services ( massage ). We were there for 2 nights only so we didn’t have a chance to experience it :( The location of the property is great , steps away from the old city and every meeting point . All in all this was a winner and the best and most exciting stay we booked while traveling through Puglia region . Highly recommend!

The pillows were very hard and uncomfortable. The bathroom was tiny with low ceiling so we were bumping out heads constantly:). The shower had no shelves to put the soap/ shampoo on , slippery shower floor . Not a deal breaker though

We had the most incredible stay at Palazzo Rodio—a beautiful and tranquil house that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, Paolo, Teresa and Valentina went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect. Their warmth, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality made us feel so welcome. The house itself is stunning—steeped in charm and history, yet wonderfully comfortable. The swimming pool area and gardens are absolutely breathtaking—a peaceful oasis ideal for relaxing after exploring Ostuni. We also loved the delicious breakfast, which was fresh, varied, and served with care. This is the kind of place you find once and never forget. We will absolutely be back, and we’re already recommending it to friends and family. Grazie mille for an unforgettable experience!

Palazzo Rodio is an atmospheric 19th century building just a short walk from Ostuni old town. The beautiful walled garden and pool are an oasis of calm. The warm welcome and hospitality from Paolo, Teresa and Valentina were a highlight of our trip . Lovely breakfast with lots of fresh fruit . We had the middle room without a terrace /balcony but the garden was available to us to relax and enjoy a glass of wine. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay. Grazie mille Clare ,Denis and Matt

It is a heritage building so that brings some quirks such as low door heights in places so just need to mind the head !

This truly is an Italian palace! We stayed in the Melody room (family of 4 which included 21 and 19 year old children), and it was both massive and breathtaking. The hosts were exceptional with particular callout to Paolo, Teresa and Valentina. The pool was a good size in its own private hideaway. The breakfast was always offered with the highest standard of service and quality. Ostuni itself is fantastic with the centre a short 5 minute walk away.

The air conditioning was not working in one of the bedrooms. In fairness they had called out a service engineer twice to try get it sorted so no fault of hosts. As the space is so big it was not a problem.

Palazzo Rodio is a beautiful, quiet place very conveniently located a few minutes by foot from the city center. The pool area with gorgeous trees and plants was absolutely charming and the room spacious and cool (even without using the air con) despite the hot weather. But what really made my experience so pleasant was the kindness, warmth and thoughtfulness of the hosts, Paolo and Teresa. From the delicious homemade pie to helping book a taxi or driving me to the train station, they were constantly looking for a way to make me feel at home.

The bed could be a bit more comfortable.

The hosts were lovely . Always around to offer drinks around the pool and fresh fruit from the garden at breakfast time . Everything was immaculate The pool was lovely to cool off or have a relaxing morning . All in all a beautiful place to stay

The door code was a bit of a faff on your phone .. but we managed okay .. it’s just getting used to it . It’s a bit of trouble finding Rodeo palace as the streets are so narrow and all look the same, but someone was available to help once we were there and provided a secure parking space on the drive

Palazzo Rodio in Ostuni is a stunning, historic, charming and elegant palazzo. Paolo and Teresa were so welcoming and went over and above to accommodate our needs. They made us feel like family. The rooms were large and well equipped. The pool was very inviting and we put it to good use after a long day of sightseeing. There also was a private car park for our car. I would highly recommend a stay at this magnificent accommodation. I cannot wait to go back.

Paolo and his team were fantastically welcoming, helpful and generous throughout our stay - Paolo and his charming wife even invited us for drinks and gelato with their friends! The Palazzo is stunning, the suite was spacious, well-equipped and clean and the breakfast was delicious - with a selection of wonderful fresh, local produce and pastries. The location is brilliant for both walking to the Old Town (10 minutes) or driving out of Ostuni in any direction. Ostuni itself is wonderful. Make sure you take up Paolo's recommendation to eat at Ristorante Caffe Cavour - fantastic food in a beautiful setting - cooked and presented by the brilliant Fabrizio and his wife.

The Palazzo is beautiful. We stayed in the superior apartment. It was very spacious and quiet and we had a very large outdoor patio for our private use. Great breakfast out in the beautiful garden by the pool every morning. Easy 5 minute walk to the historic city center with lots of great restaurants. The pizza restaurant right next door was also very good. The hosts were so kind and went out of their way to make sure we were happy.
