The small village Hoštice lies about 3 km north of the town Volyně and about 7 km south of the town Strakonice, 500 m a.s.l.

The village was under the ownership of the Lords of Hoštice in the 13th century.
Hoštice became popular in the last quarter of the 20th century due to the series of films "Slunce, seno, ..." ("Sun, hay, ...") taking place in the village and its surroundings.

The most important sights in the village are the Church of the Nativity of Virgin Mary from the 16th century with a cemetery and the Baroque chateau from the 18th century.
Several houses with Baroque gables have been preserved till nowadays.

The remains of the Jewish cemetery from the 18th century can be found on the slopes of the Kalný hill (634 m) about 2 km north-west of the village.
