A beautiful property in the countryside outside of Martina Franca. The house was thoughtfully arranged and had everything we needed for a perfect holiday The trullo bedrooms were wonderfully cool, while the other rooms benefited from welcome air conditioning. a variety of dining spaces to choose from throughout our stay. The pool is larger than average, providing a superb area for both relaxation and fun.The entire property was impeccably clean and well-equipped. We can’t recommend this house highly enough.The owners are very friendly and responsive to any messages or queries.Would definitely come back and recommend to others

lovely place set in beautiful surroundings
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.

Wonderful experience!
Our family (me, my wife, and two kids aged 12 and 14) enjoyed the masseria very much! The house is beautiful inside--all the rooms are spacious and with everything you need. Two of the bedrooms are in the trulli part of the structure and have the conical stone ceilings unique to that architecture. The weather was beautiful but fairly hot when we were there, so it was helpful that the air conditioning worked great when we needed it in the evenings. The property itself is beautiful and private, with lots of open space and terraces in which to enjoy dinner outside, and a lush landscape (which is not very common in this part of Italy). We all loved the large pool and had a few meals on the pool terrace.The location is great--about a 5 minute drive to Martina Franca and about 5 more minutes to Locorotondo, and easy drives to other towns. We appreciated the owners' generosity and attentiveness--they attended to any question we had very quickly. It's clear that the property is not just a house for the owners to rent, but is also a special place for their family as well. We would definitely stay here again.

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 !

Lovely house and grounds in the Puglia countryside
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.

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!

Wonderful holiday at Puglia country house
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.

Fantastic property with an amazing pool - perfect for 2 x young families of 4
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.

3 weeks of bliss
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

Villa of dreams
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.

Family of seven
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!
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.

Great place
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.

Il posto giusto per vacanze da sogno
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!

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

Fantastic
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!

Bithday celebration
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.

Great location, nice buildings, some practical issues
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.

Home away from home
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.

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.
