We recently stayed at Casina Piangevino for a week with our children and had such a fantastic holiday. The property is beautiful restored, maintained, very clean and well equipped.
We chose this property specifically as it also had a pool and this was definitely a hit with our children who absolutely loved it! Lovely chairs, sun loungers and umbrellas for all the guests around the pool and very peaceful.
Another favourite part was the breakfast each morning and Ivana who looked after us offering local advice and also a daily tidy of our apartment which was a lovely touch and made it feel like we were staying more in a hotel than a self catering apartment.
As other reviewers have said there is a great local restaurant within a few mins walk of the apartment which Achille booked for us on our first evening and we revisited several times. Great prices, lots of locals making it a truly Italian authentic experience. Just be prepared to Google translate the menu if you don't speak Italian! The area feels very untouched by tourism and a real Italian experience, which we loved.
Very easy to get to the apartment from Bari Airport by car, we also visited Monopoli town, beach and Alberobello and Ivana gave us recommendations of where to park/lunch places etc - all very easy to get to and very beautiful.
Would highly recommend this property, it should have hundreds of 5 star reviews as it really is a beautiful place!
