Giovanni and his parents are exceptionally nice and friendly. We were warmly welcomed and shown around. The house is a small flat in the very city centre of old Gioia del Colle. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. The location was almost perfect with many nice restaurants around (although sometimes it may be tricky to find a parking spot nearby) and it definitely is a good place to live in if you want to visit the Puglia and Basilicata regions. Overall, I strongly recommend paying Giovanni and his parents a visit! :)
