As promised in every travel guide, the “White City” rises proudly on a 300-meter hill, gleaming in the sunlight like an oriental kasbah. But if you prefer to stay by the sea, you’ll find an equally enchanting retreat in Marina di Ostuni: the Porta D’Oriente Suite. Once a humble outbuilding of a seaside masseria, it has been lovingly transformed through extensive renovation into a charming hideaway with true character and flair. Originally envisioned as Mare di Stelle (“Sea of Stars”) - inspired by the moonlight shimmering on the nearby waves - the apartment ultimately found its perfect name: Porta D’Oriente Suite, the Gateway to the Orient. Oriental – Mediterranean – Rustic – Unique While designed in a distinct oriental style, the Porta D’Oriente Suite perfectly embodies Apulia’s role as a bridge between cultures - a harmonious blend of East and West. Passing through the handcrafted garden gate framed by two white stone pillars with domed tops reminiscent of distant mosques, you’ll find yourself surrounded by the warm tones of sand and terracotta. The dry-stone wall enclosing the terrace exudes both Mediterranean and Middle Eastern charm, creating a sense of privacy and serenity. A long white masonry bench adorned with colorful oriental cushions invites you to relax with a glass of Apulian red wine while listening to the soothing sound of the sea. From here, you enjoy a partial sea view; just a few steps away lies direct access to a sandy cove. A wooden dining set on the lawn offers the perfect spot for romantic candlelit dinners, with soft lighting and lanterns adding to the intimate outdoor atmosphere. The Interior The freshly restored suite accommodates two guests (plus a small child, if desired). Thanks to air conditioning (heating/cooling), it’s also ideal for stays in autumn and winter. Every detail reflects the owners’ love and passion for design. Premium materials such as travertine and Jerusalem stone (Pietra di Gerusalemme) were used throughout, giving the interior a warm, natural glow. The built-in double bed evokes Moorish architecture, and the wall above it is decorated with colorful Persian majolica tiles. Subtle, perforated metal lamps from Morocco create fascinating lighting effects. The kitchenette features a beautiful yellow travertine countertop and saffron-colored walls. It is fully equipped with a ceramic cooktop, oven, refrigerator with freezer, glassware, dishes, and all necessary utensils. Two colonial-style barstools offer an inviting spot for indoor dining. Throughout the suite, authentic decorative pieces from the owners’ travels bring the Oriental theme to life: a mirror from London, antique prints from Tuscany, kilim cushions from Ostuni’s markets, and an ivory-toned canopy serving as a creative alternative to a traditional wardrobe. The walls retain their rustic, handcrafted texture, preserving the building’s original character. A white sliding door leads to the bathroom, where travertine mosaics replace traditional tiles. The walk-in shower features a crystal door, and the travertine countertop supports an elegant vessel sink with refined fixtures. Natural stone flooring, a window, towel radiator, and hairdryer complete the space. Additional Amenities Private parking space on the property Pet (1 dog upon request, extra fee) Ground-floor location The Setting The Porta D’Oriente Suite is located in Villanova, beside the charming old fishing harbor, and close to Camerini, a coastal village that has retained its authentic Apulian character. Here you can still watch local fishermen heading out to sea at dawn and preparing their fresh polipi (octopus) on the rocks - a true taste of the Mediterranean. Puglia is a paradise for lovers of southern culture and cuisine. Let yourself be carried away by the unique atmosphere - between Orient and Occident - while listening to the magic of the sea under a sky full of stars. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchenette - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Fenced yard - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 248 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106290000/106280400/106280306/9ecc81f2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Trullo del Bosco In Martina Franca Martina Franca - Kitchen - Pet friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.com/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-07&endDate=2026-03-08&selected=106280306&PinnedHotelID=106280306&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Front of property](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/15000000/14620000/14615700/14615688/f94b06be.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Parco della Vigna Martina Franca - Pool - Pet friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi 9.6 Exceptional 15 reviews [](https://www.expedia.com/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-07&endDate=2026-03-08&selected=14615688&PinnedHotelID=14615688&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39170000/39164600/39164599/6f25cc5f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Historic appartment with unique sea view terrace Ostuni Historic Centre - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi 8.6 Excellent 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.com/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-07&endDate=2026-03-08&selected=39164599&PinnedHotelID=39164599&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-07&endDate=2026-03-08&selected=74107541&PinnedHotelID=74107541&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=74107541,106280306,14615688,39164599) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 2:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 9:30 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs only 1 total pets Restrictions apply; for more information contact the property at the number on the booking confirmation ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector with you on the trip Host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property Safety features at this property include a deadbolt lock This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.
