The Ostuni City Guides answer what every visitor to the White City ends up asking: where to eat orecchiette in the old town without paying for a tourist set menu, when to walk the whitewashed lanes before the day-trippers arrive, which olive farm to visit among the ancient trees, where to drink a spritz at sunset and which beach or Itria Valley town to save for the next day. Each guide is a short, honest list that tells you why a place deserves your time, what to order or look for and one useful tip, and it opens in your browser as soon as you have paid.

Three places from the guides
Ristorante Trattoria Fave e Fogghje
Off Corso Cavour, Vico Antonio Fratti
The name comes from the plainest dish in Puglia, mashed broad beans with bitter wild greens, and the kitchen treats it with respect. Add fresh pasta made in the house and something from the grill, in a warm room just under the old town. From the food guide.
Masseria Brancati
Contrada Brancati, about 10 min by car
A family farm where some of the olive trees are thought to be two thousand years old. In about an hour you walk among them, go down into an old underground oil mill and taste the oil they press today. From the things to do guide.
Vinicolo
Via Francesco Antonio Zaccaria, old town
A tiny wine bar with barely three tables inside and a few more on the lane, a fridge of natural wines and an owner who knows the Puglia growers by name. On some late nights someone starts playing music. From the nightlife guide.
Plan your days in Ostuni
Day one: climb into the old town before 10:00, wind up to the cathedral and out through Porta San Demetrio, meet Delia in the archaeology museum, then take in the postcard view from the belvedere at dusk, a drink on the steps and dinner in an old-town osteria. Day two: tour an olive farm among the ancient trees in the morning, swim in the coves of Costa Merlata or walk the dune park, and finish with fish at Villanova. For a rainy or slow day, take the regional train to Lecce for its Baroque churches, or drive to Cisternino, where the butcher grills the meat you choose, and on to Locorotondo for the view over the Itria Valley, then end the evening in a wine bar.
