Great stay !
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

Perfect retreat in the heat!
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!

Why they chose this property

The extensive rolling grounds (2 hectares) and the private pool setting allows you to be together with friends and family or to seclude yourself in a far away corner of the property. Share a meal on any of the many terraces, pergola covered patios or poolside. Should you want to rest in the afternoon in the main house, those enjoying the pool will not disturb your peace. Enjoy an early morning walk amidst pomegranate, quince, fig, apricot, almond, cacchi and olive trees.

What makes this property unique

The comfort and feel of an old country house, surrounded by mediterranean vegetation and a beautiful swimming pool.
