Our family enjoyed our time here immensely. The house was characterful and the pool was perfect for refreshing in after visiting beautiful local towns.

We had a very pleasant stay at Giancone Puglia Estate. The house is fantastic, very well equipped and provided enough space to host a big group of 5 adults and 2 children. The multiple terraces, the beautiful garden and pool area offer many options to sit down, relax and eat. The house is well located and lots of nice places are easily reached by car. The hosts and the housekeepers were amazing and communication was easy: they provided a great variety of recommendations and information. We felt very welcomed and well supported during our stay. We can definitely recommend the chef, amazing food! We highly recommend this estate for a stay in Puglia. Thanks a lot.

La posizone é ottima per esplorare le bellezze della Valle d'Itria, ma anche per concedersi qualche trasferta al mare. La proprietà é gestita in loco da persone molto cordiali e disponibili che ci hanno dato molti consiglinutili, ed il proprietario stesso é sempre un punto di riferimento anche a distanza. Siamo stati accolti da un caloroso benvenuto e ci siamo subito sentiti "a casa"! La proprietà è molto bella e gli spazi sono piacevoli, da segnalare solamente le dimensioni di una delle camere particolarmente contenute e l'aria condizionata non disponibile in tutte le aree della casa, ma ventilatori a disposizione. L'area della piscina ed il giardino sono la cornice perfetta per collezionare momenti e ricordi meravigliosi. L'acqua nella cisterna viene controllata e rifornita. Nel complesso la valutazione è molto buona, consiglio il soggiorno in questo paradiso!

Una villa molto accogliente e ben organizzata., perfetta. in una posizione strategica per visitare i più interessanti luoghi della Puglia.

Mi ero innamorata della valle d’Itria lo scorso anno e ho deciso di tornare con mio marito e degli amici e la nostra vacanza nella splendida villa di Alex è stata perfetta! La casa è curata nei minimi particolari, elegante e sobria, gli spazi all’aperto, il parco, la piscina meravigliosi. Sono innamorata di Martina Franca, Ceglie, locorotondo, posti vicinissimi da raggiungere. Grazie ad Alex e ai manager che gestiscono la sua casa. Torneremo! Flavia

We were 8 friends staying in the house for one week beginning of July. This is a very nice house with a lot of seating areas outside, nice kitchen and of course the nice pool which is big enough for daily exercise. We did a few trips to the west coast and Ostuni which is beautiful but we all agreed the house was the best part of the trip. Good to know is there are no taxis or Uber around so you definitely need to rent your own car, you can also get help with shuttle when going for dinner nearby (this was quite expensive but works if you’re a big group). The restaurants we were recommended inside Martina Franca were great (specially the pizza) and we also found a good big grocery store with Italien speciality’s. Please note all stores and most restaurants are closed between 2-5pm. Everyone managing the property and the owners were super friendly and helpful in every way. Overall we had a great stay and we very much recommend this to everyone who is interested in exploring Puglia. Ciao!

We rented the villa for a family birthday celebration and it was everything we wanted. Spacious, comfortable, well equipped and with the most beautiful pool. There is good local shopping in Martina Franca and it is easy to get to the attractive hilltop villages with their historic centres and good restaurants.

This is a great property, beautiful setting, charming and well appointed villa. Pool is spectacular and the shaded area is perfect for breakfast and other meals. The guest house is a plus.Everyone was extremely helpful and and I highly recommend it. We would gladly relturn.

The house and estate are wonderful, and perfectly situated to explore the surrounding countryside and towns. My family had a lovely, relaxing time, and we were made to feel very welcome by Alex and his local team. This is our first visit to this area, and we will definitely return!

We stayed at the property for 10 days in the end of september. The location is great, centered in puglia with all you need within reasonable distance. The buildings are nice, especially the old trulli part. The pool is beutiful but starts to get cold in the end of september. When the air is medium hot, 25-30 degrees, there are annoying mosquitos, especially noticeable when using the pool. The power went out twice due to a main fuse switching off, the property manager quickly guided us to the fuse box and it was sorted out. One evening we ran out of water, once again the property manager was great help and we had water again the next morning, but with 4 kids and 6 adults even a shorter period without water is annoying. An alarm to draw attention to low water level would be an easy fix. All in all, this is a good property, but some technical arrangements could make it great.

Located at the heart of Puglia the house is immersed in a lush of Mediterranean flora which evokes a rich an intimate sense of arrival when entering the parkway.Collen and Antonela were already expecting us with local appetizers to ease our journey and give us a warm welcome.The house is exactly what we looked for , celebrating simple sophistication with every amenity in the right place to accommodate our entire family of 8.Owing to the house unique interior layout and ample exterior living spaces, moving from a state of privacy to a communal gathering contributed immensely to the quality of our stay.The house rooms are pumpering and spacious with ample light and natural ventilation. The linen quality worths mentioning and it feels like nothing escaped the owner’s eyes when thinking about his guests.We ordered a daily cleaning service which proved to be efficient and effective while for our first and last day we asked for a private chef to cook dinner for us. Lucrezia , our chef, endulged us with local culinary delights exploring dishes from Land to Sea. These evenings under Lucrezia’s hands and soul were unforgettable. We already miss her. This is without doubt, a place to come back to . At the end of the day coming back home always feels great.

We, a family of 5 enjoyed very much our stay at this nice house. We were very impressed about the large size of the property and the surrounding garden including the fig trees (yummy taste), and the huge pool. From the first contact with the owner Alex and Colleen and Antonella from the agency everything was very friendly, well prepared and reliable. Thanks to Antonella for organizing tickets for the Valle d`Itria Festival, which was overwhelming. We warmly thanks Lucrezia for the great Puglia dinner provided at the house, which we can strongly recommend. Also many thanks for the exquisite wellcome package by Alex on arrival. The location of the property in the Valle d`Ittria is very attractive to visit the many picturesque little towns nearby like Martina Franka, Locorotondo, Cisternino, Ostuni and Alberobello, great for strolling, for dinner and local athmosphere. The house and pool area is ideal for relaxing. Having a car is necessary to get around. Beaches around Torre Canne and Torre Guaceto are great.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Giancone Estate, outside Martina Franca. The house was set up well, with everything we needed for our vacation. The bedrooms in the trullo are cool and there is welcome aircon in the other bedrooms. We had a couple of bbq's on the built-in bbq, eating our meal in the courtyard area, and we liked having a choice of places to eat over our stay. The pool is larger than normal and is a super area for relaxation and play. Everything is clean and well equipped, so we couldn't recommend the house more highly.

In Trulli-land you will find no beter place to stay : the house is spacious, nicely decorated, the kitchen well equipped. You can sit outside and dine, near the kitchen or near the BBQ or somewhere else in the big garden. Beautiful swimmingpool with enough shade when it's too hot.

Is difficult to summarise in this small space the intense and magical moments of happiness I had in my stay in this charming house. Space, comfort, style, good taste, light and green everywhere, and the perfect geographical location for visiting the best of Puglia. I am planning to return next year and with more friends. Congratulations Claren and Alex!

Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit in Puglia. Alex der Vermieter hat uns toll unterstützt und die Objektbetreuung und die Unterstützung vorort war unkompliziert und perfekt! Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Wir hatten wunderbare zwei Wochen in diesem Haus in Puglia. Das Anwesen ist in perfektem Zustand, der Pool und der Garten ist riesig und der Wohnbereich ist großzügig und stilvoll. Das Zweithaus haben unsere vier Kinder nur für sich gehabt. Die Unterstützung durch Vermieter und Objektbetreuung hat wunderbar funktioniert. Jederzeit gerne wieder!

Alex and Claren are kind, generous and thoughtful people. The management of their place is extremely professional and we were blown away by the generous welcome pack and how well we were shown around. The place is total bargain and is one of the most amazing places we have stayedBack in a heartbeat

I would highly recommend this property. The owner could not be more accommodating and helpful, arranging everything from airport transfers from Brindisi to an evening at the opera in Bari to reservations at hole-in-the-wall restaurants throughout Puglia. Each and every day of my visit was better and richer because of the owners sincerest desire to ensure that my visit was memorable. Having been a business traveler for years, the owner understands firsthand what superlative customer service means and intends to deliver the same. He manages the same in part because he himself is an inveterate explorer who spends an inordinate amount of time researching Puglias treasures; on one occasion, I accompanied him to a new restaurant in Monopoli and enjoyed one of the finest meals of my life, made even more special because the chef ended up dining with us for nearly an hour (the owner has a clear knack of connecting with people). The property itself -- even in December -- was magnificently lush and uplifting when the sun was shining. In the Spring and Summer, I can easily imagine not wanting to leave the property at all. It was a truly peaceful place to read, relax and get away from it all. One felt significantly farther than 8 km from Martina Franca. And on the rare occasion that I needed to be connected, I could be; the wifi connection and speed were astonishingly stable and fast.The house was surprisingly comfortable, even during chilly December. The wood stove kept the common areas surprisingly warm. The furnishings were more elegant than I had anticipated. Whereas I normally expect functional but forgettable furniture, the owner has chosen pieces that I could easily envisage in my own home. I have also found that many owners choose mattresses of questionable quality -- not here; I slept very well!!! The kitchen was very well-equipped, making meals at home more than manageable; in fact, weather permitting, I can easily envisage dining at home more than one might be accustomed on vacation due to the superb facilities. Location-wise, the property is truly at a crossroads. Martina Franca is just 15 minutes away and offers a full range of services and restaurants (hence my reference to proximate in the title). Much of Puglia can be reached within an hour. I spent nearly every day of my 9-day visit exploring the various towns of Puglia, often at the suggestion of the owner.I love this place and will definitely return.
