La Sommità Relais & Chateaux
Ostuni, Italy · ★ 4.7 Exceptional B.Booking.com 9.4
A round hot tub ringed in pale Apulian stone, candlelit under a vaulted ceiling in Ostuni's white city.
You sink into the tub and the first thing you notice is the ceiling: ancient limestone voussoirs curving overhead, lit softly from below by a handful of candles set along the stone surround. The hot tub itself is round and generous, built into a plinth of the same rough-cut local stone, and the whole room feels less like a hotel bathroom and more like something that was always here, waiting to be filled with warm water.
This is La Sommità Relais & Chateaux, a hotel with a private in-room hot tub in Ostuni, and the suite sits within a converted historic building in the old town. The bedroom is just through a low arched doorway, visible from the tub, which gives the space a pleasing openness without feeling exposed. Guests rate it 9.4 out of 10, and you can see why. The one honest note: the bathroom has no natural light, so it's very much an evening room. That's not a complaint. Candles were clearly the plan all along.

Questions, answered
Where exactly is the hot tub in the suite?+
It's inside the bathroom, set into a round plinth of rough-cut Apulian stone directly beneath the vaulted ceiling. There's no outdoor or terrace element; this is very much an indoor, candlelit experience.
Is the hot tub suite a good choice for a couple visiting Ostuni's old town?+
It suits couples well. The suite is within the historic centre, the arched bedroom is just steps from the tub, and the whole setup is built around an evening in rather than an early start.
Where in Ostuni are the best in-room tub suites located?+
The most rewarding views come from properties on or near the rupe, the rocky ridge the old town sits on. Places like La Terrazza sulla Rupe and La Sommità Relais & Chateaux use that elevation well, putting the valley and the distant coast right in your eyeline.
What's the price range for a suite with a private tub in Ostuni?+
Our listed properties run from around €93 to €358 per night, so there's genuine range. The lower end suits a quiet midweek stay in shoulder season, while the higher end reflects peak summer demand and more polished surroundings.
