On the ground floor you will find an impressive entrance hall, a grand living room with a fireplace and a 65" smart TV with satellite channels, a wonderful banquet and event room with fireplace, a studio, a dining room, a large kitchen with a courtyard and a veranda equipped with a dining table.

An Unforgettable Experience at Villa Gioia with Host Louisa
From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for a treat. Louisa, our gracious host, made our stay exceptional from start to finish. The house itself is a historical treasure, its 230-year legacy evident in its intricate floor tiles, exposed walls, and character-filled furnishings. Each room is a nod to the family's rich history in winemaking and adds an unparalleled layer of authenticity to the experience. As a group of 18 gathering for a birthday celebration, we found Villa Gioia to be incredibly comfortable and accommodating. Despite having plans to explore the surrounding areas, the allure of the property was so strong that we spent most of our time on-site, enjoying the stunning pool area and playing petanque under newly-installed lights for nighttime play. Louisa went above and beyond to enhance our stay. She personally guided us to an amazing cheese shop for tastings and a local meat shop to buy regional produce. She was always available to answer questions and even secured us a table for 16 at a fantastic local restaurant on our last day. Her recommendations for nearby beaches were spot-on and contributed to an unforgettable experience. Each bedroom has air conditioning which ensured our utmost comfort. In summary, Villa Gioia is more than just a place to stay; it’s an experience that encapsulates the beauty, history, and hospitality that one dreams of when visiting Italy. My guests and I were thoroughly impressed and left with memories we will cherish forever.

Absolutely Incredible
The title says it all. We are still in absolute awe of how wonderful our stay at Villa Gioia was. Our wedding was nothing short of magic thanks to Maria Luisa. The villa is truly stunning - you are able to take in the beauty of Puglia in a gorgeous and authentic location. The villa itself is a work of art, with beautiful stone walls, high ceilings, and charming details throughout. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, and the bathrooms were immaculate. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor areas, including the pool and the terraces. It was the perfect place to relax and soak up the sun. The wedding itself was dreamy, and the villa was the perfect backdrop for our special day. The talented people (chefs, hair stylist, makeup artist, photographer) Maria Luisa gathered for the event were incredibly helpful and accommodating, and they went above and beyond to make sure that everything went smoothly. The food was delicious, and the wine was exceptional. Overall, I cannot recommend this villa enough. It is the perfect place for a family getaway or a wedding, and it truly exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for a beautiful Italian villa in Puglia, this is the place to stay.

Schöne, traditionelle Masseria
Schöne Masseria geeignet für Gruppen von 12 - 18 Personen. Sehr gelungene Kombination von modernen Anpassungen in alten, schönen Räumen. Komfortable Schlafzimmer mit mehrheitlich eigenen Bädern und schönen Aufenthaltsräumen mit alten, traditionellen Möbeln.

Home page ist ungebau
Rosanna und ihr Mann waren sehr sehr nett. Sie strengen sich enorm an. Aber das WLAN lieg erst nach Tagen und die Fahrräder musste Rosanna extra kommen lassen. Das Nachtessen , das Rosanna organisiert hat , war perfekt. Es hatte nur 9 Zimmer und nicht 10 wie in der Home Page versprochen.

Schlimme Lage der uralten Villa
Leider entsprechen die Bilder nicht den wirklichen Zustand. Diese alte Villa ist zu dem Preis nicht mehr vermietbar. Bei Regen und Wind tritt Wasser ein. Sämtliche Türen und Fenster sind kaum vernünftig zu schließen und öffnen. Teilweise befinden sich keine Kleiderschränke und Spiegel in den Schlafräumen. Die Betten sind schmal und klapprig. In den Badezimmern befinden sich teilweise undichte Wannen und keine Duschvorhänge. Gestank nach Beize in den Geschirrschränken. Das Grundstück ungepflegt. Am Schlimmsten ist die Lage des Hauses. Direkt an einer Schnellstraße und in einer verdeckten Landschaft gelegen. Die Verwalterin ist sehr nett aber die Villa ist für den Preis eine Zumutung. Eine Beschwerde direkt an den Besitzer wurde bis jetzt ignoriert.

Beautiful, old Masseria
A very beautiful house still very much decorated like it must have been in the 30s of the last century. When you walk into the office next to the entry you almost expect to see the former owner sitting at his desk. Space is ample. We visited as a group of 10 and it never felt in the least crowded. 2 large terraces on the upper floor offer a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside and Castel del Monte can be seen in the distance. There is a grove of old trees opposite the house, full of birds. This is a great place to relax and slow down. The house has all the amenities required for a comfortable stay. The lovely stone floors and high rooms will keep it cool in summer. Shopping and good restaurants are 10 - 20 mins away by car, while all major sightseeing can be reached within 1 1/2 hours at most.

Bellissima villa ideale per grandi gruppi
Villa d’epoca bellissima, ideale per grandi gruppi, in un ottima posizione per visitare i paesini più belli della Puglia. Molto spaziosa, ben arredata e vivibile per un gruppo di 15 adulti e 5 bambini. Il salone ha un bel camino che abbiamo acceso tutte le sere e ha reso l’ambiente molto suggestivo e accogliente. L’amministratice della casa Rosanna e’ stata molto disponibile da quando abbiamo prenotato. Ci ha aiutato a trovare un ristorante per capodanno e ci ha dato molti consigli utili per rendere il nostro soggiorno il più gradevole possibile. Rosanna e’ rimasta a disposizione durate il nostro soggiorno per qualsiasi cosa. Avevamo prenotato una degustazione di vini in una cantina che ci ha annullato per via della neve. Rosanna ci ha trovato un altra cantina nel corso di un paio di ore. Abbiamo avuto un po’ di problemi con il Wi-Fi e il riscaldamento ma sono stati risolti al più presto.

Vacanza in Puglia
Bellissima struttura storica, ottimamente conservata e gestita. Abbiamo passato delle splendide giornate, tra gite nei dintorni e serate vicino al camino. La gentilezza del proprietario e la disponibilità della Signora Rosanna sono stati quel “tocco” in più che fa la differenza. Assolutamente da consigliare

Très agréable séjour dans cette jolie villa hors du temps parfaitement adaptée à une grande famille
Tout commence par un accueil attentif et chaleureux par Rosanna qui s'assure que nous disposerons de tout ce dont nous aurons besoin. Cette propriété a gardé son âme du début du XX° siècle et on se sent rapidement chez soi. Le mobilier d'époque nous réjouit l'oeil et le volume des pièces nous enchante. Ensuite le charme des Pouilles et la proximité des plages comme des jolis ports (Trani) font le reste. Mention spéciale à Rosanna qui a su nous organiser un brunch de 50 personnes dans le parc ainsi qu'au propriétaire de la villa qui a eu la gentillesse de répondre à nos demandes particulières (3 lits de bébés, barbecue, ...). Nous recommandons cette villa.

What a fabolous place.
When we at last found the villa we had a fantastic stay. The old magnificient villa was for us modern stressed people a restplace for our souls and besides the large bedrooms, the kitchen became the central point for our group. How wonderful to see all the genuine details in all the rooms and if the radio in the ”office” is for sale, i,ll buy it. Nothing were ”styled”, just a pure and historic place that made our group happy. And a special thanks to the serviceminded staff. We will shurely come back to visit again. Hans Schemmel
