Great Christmas in Italy!

We spent Christmas 2024 in beautiful Villa Gialonia! Everything about the Villa is fantastic. Communications with the owner were perfect. We were welcomed to the home with a bottle of Prosecco and panettone. This part of Puglia is very quiet in December, however, the owner provided great recommendations for things to do and amazing restaurants. We particularly liked Sant' Elia, outside of Patu, Italy, where we had a fantastic Christmas lunch. We took daytrips almost everyday towards different towns in Puglia and every town seemed more beautiful than the next. Definitely recommend!”

Beautiful New House in Puglia

Our family of four had a fantastic Christmas time at this beautiful new house at the very south of Puglia. There were four bedrooms with four en-suite bathrooms and a powder room. The house was very clean and ready for us. The communication with the owner and the property manager was very easy. They welcomed us with a bottle of Prosecco and panettone. The house is within 5 minutes of a great supermarket. It is within 10 minutes from the villa with a fantastic local restaurant where we had a Christmas feast arranged by the property manager. We drove an hour everyday towards different towns in Puglia and got to see the natural beauty of the region and warmth of its people. It was an incredible experience.”

Great Family Trip!

We have a lovely time in Puglia Italy. The region is amazing. The house is well equipped and the host is splendid. They organized every details for us. From a private chef dinner to a beautiful boat ride. It was a great space and beautiful area to visit. ”

Puglia Perfection

The house is really beautiful and the setting is stunning. We went in March and it is definitely the off season so the town of Pescoluse was a bit deserted and finding open restaurants was a little bit of a challenge, but we had a wonderful time, and enjoyed being the only Americans and often the only English speakers around. We rode our electric bikes all over Puglia on the back lanes though olive groves, old stone farmhouses and beautiful towns each with a historic center that had narrow winding streets (barely a car's width) and century old churches and castles. It was a great way to spend the days in March and always so lovely to come home to the beautiful villa. In the summer it must be a perfect spot with its rural setting, beautiful pool and veranda and a short ride to the big sandy beaches (a rarity in Italy). Aslessia, the property manager, was so lovely and helpful. The home is a great base from which to see Puglia!”
