The Ostuni show and Vinicio Caposela concert

Enormous Christmas balls act as a fairy-tale skylight on the climb up Via Cattedrale, culminating in the splendid rose window of the Duomo di Santa Maria Assunta, while in Piazza della Libertà, a brightly lit tree has been set up that will be a spectator to the many free events planned, such as the Vinicio Capossela concert scheduled for 29 December. To enjoy the spectacle of the shimmering white city, one can stay at the Vista Ostuni, which is also entirely teeming with hot neon. In this former tobacco factory - it was also a convent and an orphanage - you can also enjoy from the panoramic terrace an extraordinary view of the green ocean of olive trees and the endless blue expanse of the sea. Inside, furnished in warm tones and minimalist seating by Bianca Passera, who is also to be commended for her ecological choice to focus heavily on local materials and craftsmen and the vast garden of Mediterranean essences, one can enjoy remarkable gastronomic experiences during the holidays: sip Christmas Afternoon Tea in the Chiostro Bar, participate in the Apulian Christmas pastry-making course, enjoy the festive menu at the Berton al Vista restaurant for Christmas Eve dinner when raw and cooked scampi with almonds, pomegranates and buckwheat are served. Instead, roast eel with fig vincotto and turnip tops will be served at Christmas. The splendid cloister will host the New Year's Eve gala accompanied by music and artistic performances.
