Ivana is a wonderful host and we could not have asked for a more charming and welcoming accommodation than Antica Casina. Ivana's well-kept and beautiful garden was a great place for our kids to play, the breakfast was plentiful and manifold every day. Antica Casina is a great location to visit all cities of Puglia, we went to see different beautiful historic town centres every day. Ivana was a great help, we followed her recommendations where to go, what to see and we were never disappointed. She even booked tables for us in local restaurants, sunbeds and umbrellas in nearby beaches . The rooms in Antica Casina are clean and spacious, the beds are comfortable, everything is just as seen in the pictures. Ivana is a very nice lady, she loves children and we all loved her. We can only recommend Antica Casina, it beats hotels in every way.

My husband and I spent our babymoon in Puglia, staying at Antica Casina B&B di Charme, and it was just perfect! The property exceeded our expectations by far. The rooms were spacious, stylish, and clean, and the rooms stayed cool inside, even though it was 30+ degrees outside. Ivana's hospitality really touched us; she always went the extra mile to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious, and Ivana took care to find out our preferences and adjust the breakfast accordingly. The town of Pulsano is a perfect base to explore Puglia. It has several fantastic sandy beaches nearby, and it's easy to drive to the popular towns such as Ostuni, Alberobello and Madera from there. Overall, I highly recommend this property for your vacation in Puglia!

We liked everything!

When you approach Antica Casina on the main road by car, nothing announces what you will find beyond the property’s rather high walls. You park your car under the pine trees and then enter a fairytale realm. Lush and very well taken care of greenery welcomes you. We were accommodated in the cottage next to the main house, an over 100 years old villa. To get there, you go through the citrus garden, which at the time of our trip was adorned with tangerines and lemons. We had a private garden all to ourselves, in which we spent enjoyable evenings. The cottage was perfect for us, very clean and welcoming. Our host, Ivana, was very careful and her breakfasts are something to remember, as you can see in the photos. Every day we had something else, and she adapted the menu according to our preferences without us having to say anything. She just noticed the products we enjoyed most and the next day she included those types of products and removed the types we consumed less. It was a beautiful holiday experience and we will certainly come back there in the future.

It’s a splendid property with a marvelous garden. A small well kept orchard with lemon trees. There is also a pine grove with a couple of hammocks, great for relaxing in a hot summer day. Breakfast was served on the cool shaded patio. The host made sure that we had different and varied dishes every morning. She also added a personal touch with herbs from her garden. She was courteous and helpful while making sure we had all the privacy we needed. To summarize it vas a wonderful experience and it will remain o great memory of a short summer trip to Italy.

My partner and I had a beautiful 5 nights at the villa. The suite was immaculately decorated, peaceful, and clean. We had a lovely private garden surrounded by lemon and olive trees, the former of which the host Ivana uses to make Limoncello. The breakfasts were varied and delicious: fruit, meat, and pastries. Ivana also arranged some dinners for us including a meatball dish which was the best pasta I have ever had. The location is excellent: you are a short drive from the quaint but vivacious Taranto, and there are stunning beaches all of which are within a 20 minute drive or a shortish bike ride. The wonderful Ivana made our stay truly magical- her hospitality was like nothing else, the extra care she took was astonishing. She is the perfect host and her family - and Francesca - were a joy to speak and stay with. We will return. The only advice I would give is to ensure you have a car as Puglia is mainly road-based.

Nothing - it is simply perfect

Ivana is the most charming host I have ever met. Her kindness and elegance is reflected in every corner of the Antica Casina. You can derive her passions and interests in everything she does. Extremely available and communicative, she is extremely precise with communications and timing, always read to support and make her guests comfy with fruitful insights and recommendations.The property, located a few minutes by car to the closest beaches like Maruggio, Lido Piri Piri, Capitan Morgan, etc., it's a nice place for romance and relaxation, since it's immersed in the local vegetation. The room size is perfect for a short stay, well equipped with all the amenities you may need. Private garden is a plus for wasting your mind while steering your nose up to the sky, admiring the stars and enjoying the quietness of the area. Private parking, the park, and the tennis court (for those that can play tennis) are a further plus. Highly recommended to anyone that really wants to switch off her/his mind and feel cuddled visiting Apulia.

A unique experience in an old but newly renovated villa surrounded by pine trees among olive arcades. People, places and products- excellent combination to explore Italian countryside unspoiled by mass tourism. People are very friendly and always ready to help all around Puglia. The owners and their staff make your stay comfortable, the breakfasts are homemade and very tasty. Always follow Signora Ivana advice on what to visit, where to eat and where to shop. Plenty of places, from beaches to old small towns, are stone throw away from the property. It is a convenient location to explore Puglia during day trips as you always come to a quiet, comfortable and interesting place to rest. Food, crafts, shopping are authentic and accessible.

So super friendly and welcoming 🫶🏽 With a fresh and diverse breakfast every day, the best tips in the area and a tennis court. All in a very beautiful and typical Italian Agriturismo. Oh and let’s not forget, she is a great cook!

A beautiful annex off the main house. Was beautifully decorated and accessed through a garden filled with lemon, lime and orange tree's. There was ample parking. Breakfast was lovely and we were very well looked after. Would definitely recommend.

Ivana and her family are amazing hosts! we had an amazing time there! The place is located in the middle of the lemon tree garden. The room was beautiful and tasteful. The hosts welcomed us even when we arrived later in the night and they prepared a delicious dinner for us. It was a pleasure to stay there!

There was nothing we did not like :)
