“Vista Ostuni elegantly and authentically reflects the spirit of the White City,” said Deniz Omurgonulsen, Vice President of Member Experience at The Leading Hotels of theWorld.

“Perched on a hill overlooking a sea of centuries-old olive trees, the property invites guests to lose themselves in the whitewashed alleys of Ostuni, rejuvenate in a nature-surrounded spa, and discover the region’s cultural riches with the help of a dedicated team. It is a unique expression of Apulian hospitality and a valuable addition to our collection.”

Scheduled to open in July, Vista Ostuni marks a significant milestone in the brand’s development. Located just steps from the famed White City and nestled within the evocative Plain of Ancient Olive Trees in the Itria Valley, the hotel has been created through the restoration of the former Manifattura Tabacchi – a 14th-century building deeply rooted in the collective memory of the local community.

The architectural renovation has sympathetically restored the site's intrinsic value and beauty, blending historic elegance and contemporary design with a profound respect for the surrounding environment and cultural heritage.

“With Vista Ostuni, we aim to share the Vista vision of hospitality: authentic, tailor-made, respectful of history, and capable of giving back to the region,” comments Cristina Zucchi, General Manager of Lario Hotels. “It’s not just about welcoming guests, but about crafting bespoke experiences that leave a lasting impression. Being welcomed into The Leading Hotels of the World is a prestigious acknowledgement of our commitment to excellence and to meticulous guest care.”

The hotel will offer 28 generously proportioned rooms and suites with 5m vaulted ceilings, arranged around a charming arched cloister. Guests will also enjoy two restaurants, two bars, a rooftop with 360-degree views stretching from the sea to the city, three swimming pools (two outdoor and one indoor), a spa complete with a beauty centre and private suites, and a fully equipped gym. The over 16,000 square metres of surrounding parkland will celebrate Mediterranean flora.
