We had a wonderful 3 week stay in this gorgeous villa, with a variety of friends and family staying with us for the holiday. The villa is exceptional and owners Alex and Claren made sure absolutely everything was taken care of. From the bi-weekly cleaning of the pool to the weekly house cleaning and the regular communication by WhatsApp offering us help and tips for our stay in Puglia. Nothing was overlooked and even when small issues arise, they were dealt with promptly and painlessly. I cannot recommend this house highly enough and very much look forward to our family visiting again. Thank you Alex, Claren and team for a wonderful holiday

We spent 2 weeks in Claren & Alex house in the blowing Itria Valley. The house in great and extremely well located, close to the typical villages of Puglia. The garden and the great pool were very appreciated by us and our teenagers. The house is nicely decorated and very well equipped. We loved our stay, and the advices both from Alex and Antonio the property managers were extremely useful. Big thank you ! Sabine & Thomas

Casa Giancone was fabulously comfortable and well-equipped and we loved our week in the Puglian sunshine! The large pool, with plenty of shady seating around it, was perfect in the current heatwave, and we loved the location away from, but close by to, several pretty towns (and tasty gelaterias!). Just bring some mosquito repellent in summer. Alex was a very attentive host - thank you! The house has lots of leaflets from local attractions but our only suggestion that would make exploring the area and eating out easier would be to provide a brief list of recommended places. Having said this, Alex was really happy to text me lots of info, and details of the local supermarket etc. We hope to be back!

An elegant oasis with character well positioned in the Valle d'Itria. Alex did everything he could to make our stay special. The house was wonderful with a gorgeous large pool. So much to see and explore in the area. Do not hesitate to stay at Giancone Estate!

Great location Very friendly and helpful local people who assist those not up to speed with Italian. Manager and staff exceptional We felt looked after. And if I had a question about local culture it was answered quickly and with detail. So we caught the annual piano festival in Martina Franca. Cleanliness and facilities excellent Grounds which are manicured offer fabulous fruit trees for breakfasts and snacks and herbs for cooking. Kitchen fully fitted and an outdoor BBQ. Use tbe wood from the grounds. Much tastier cooking results than charcoal. Open plan space allows comfort for all guests. Pool is clean and managed every 3 or 4 days whether it needs it or not. Security is 💯 Actually myself and all my companions have only positive things to say about our stay. We are sad to leave. Wish it had been longer. Ian

We had an incredible 10 days at Giancone Estate. The property and grounds are beautiful and peaceful, and the pool is stunning. Sunset from the roof terrace is magical too. The house is very well equipped, especially the kitchen (which seems to have everything you could ever want!). There was plenty of space inside and out for all of us (4 adults, 4 kids) and the aircon and fans kept the space mostly cool (the Trullo rooms can get a little warm, but we and the kids found it perfectly manageable). We had a pasta-making lesson from Lucrezia which the kids loved. Alex is the most communicative and responsive property owner of any private accommodation we have stayed with anywhere in the world! Martina was so helpful too. As other reviews have mentioned, you will need a lot of mosquito spray! And we had to stock up on bottled water, but we didn't have problems with a smell. You definitely need a car too, but the location is great for accessing most of the region's small/medium towns (most of which have good markets one day a week). All in all, a memorable stay, highly recommended.

Charming property with comfortable beds, nice pool and plenty of space for our family of 7 adults. Some issues with the water supply having an unpleasant odour which they did try to fix, but that may just be a local issue. The property is well located for easy drive to the four towns of the province. The owners sent us lots of helpful info before our arrival and Martina was very welcoming. We had Lucretia cook for us one evening and that was worth doing as her food was delicious. We had a good stay but would definitely recommend that guests have mosquito repellant.

Family vacation in puglia- beautiful home, let down by details- AC inadequate!
Family vacation in puglia- beautiful home, let down by details- AC inadequate!
We loved the charm of Alex and Claren's property, which was tastefully done, with the rustic trulli and set in pretty grounds. Unfortunately, our stay was marred by several things. We are used to the heat of Southern Italy and had intentionally picked a home advertised with AC. Unfortunately, we did not read the small print and in the main house, there was only AC in one bedroom. The house was stifling in the 100F/36C heat and our kids really struggled to sleep in their rooms. Just know that the whole home is not air-conditioned. In addition, the kitchen was cramped with dishes and pans stacked high on eachotehr and hard to access. It was also very hard to cook as their induction burner only gets hot on one burner at a time! When I questioned this, Alex told me it was always that way...very hard to cater for a larger family in this kitchen. Also- the water in the taps in not drinkable, so you have to buy bottled water for drinking, tea, coffee, ice making etc. Magnificent pool - this was definitely a high point. Stunning countryside and we loved the Val d'atria. Great property manager who could not have been more helpful.
