We booked this room through a Travel Agent, Long Travel, who specialise in holidays to Southern Italy. Also because of the reviews on this site which I have found to be very accurate if you can pick your way through each individual's likes and dislikes! We stayed for two nights on our way to Ostuni. We arrived very late having... more

Basically, I do agree with most of the reviewers. This small hotel is very beautiful, in an elegantly renovated monastery with tatefully chosen furnishings. I liked the room assigned very much for blending the structure of original building with some modern touch, simple and delicate. The door facing the small courtyard had the view I want while visiting Europe...It just... more

Corte Altavilla was the last stop in our marvellous tour of Puglia before our flight back to Manchester and, unfortunately it was a rather disappointing experience. I had originally booked a top standard room, but when we arrived we were told by the receptionist that they had had some (unspecified) problems and that no top standard rooms were available, we... more

We've just come back from a 5 night stay at the hotel & everything that people have been saying about the hotel is true! It really is one of the nicest, most friendly hotels that we've ever stayed in. Although not 'overly' plush or luxorious, the rooms are well furnished & spotlessly clean.

We have just returned from a delightful week's stay in early May 2008 at the Corte AltaVilla in Conversano. We booked this only 2 days before departing through Expedia and did so on the recommendations and praises of previous reviewers. We were not disappointed. On arrival we were allocated room number 3 a large room with a kitchenette (no plans... more

We were introduced to the Corte Altavilla by a Puglian enthusiast called Angelo who runs an excellent company - Experience Puglia. He booked us into the hotel for four nights as a base for his daily trips to such as Alborobello, Matera, Lecce, Trani etc as well as for his arranged wine tastings, olive oil tastings and a cookery lesson... more

This is a fabulous hotel in the historic centre of Conversano. We stayed in a junior suite on the second floor which was extremely comfortable. The air conditioning was most welcome as the temperature soared to 42 degrees whilst we were there. All of the staff are charming and very helpful nothing was to much trouble for them. Wonderful breakfasts... more
