Cinzia and Ivano are the nicest hosts we have ever met in our travels in Italy (and we have visited Italy for about 11 times together). One can tell what a smart, funny and special person Cinzia is only by exchanging some messages with her! The house is beautiful, so carefully arranged by Ivalo, who is a passionate for interior design and this can be seen and felt in every corner of the appartment, which is sparkling clean, fully equipped for any type of tourists (family or just friends traveling together for fun), and arranged with a special attention to details. The terrace is such a nice touch for breakfasts or dinners, or for simply enjoying a glass of Primitivo wine after a full day of cycling in and around Manduria. They were nice enough to help us book three bycicles for our day tours from Manduria in other close towns at wine masserias. In our last night at Cinzia and Ivalo, we were invited over for dinner and were warmly received in the heart of their family and friends, spending some quality time and experiencing what an Italian dinner with friends really means. ❤️ Because of very special circumstances, our lovely hosts were so kind and helped us with transportation to the airport, makging a great effort to wake up early in the morning and driving us from Manduria to Bari. Honestly, what more can one hope for from a host? Thank you, Cinzia and Ivalo for being such beautiful and loving people, and for receiving us in your home! Warmly, Andreea, Mihai and Sebastian

The apartment is nice & well equipped! You’ll find everything you need, even AC in the living room :) The family is very friendly, helpful and hostile. You can ask them everything. I could also rent a bike for the duration of my stay :) Manduria is also a cute town to stay butI would recommend to travel by car as it is not soo easy to go to the beautiful beaches without them.

We stayed 3 nights at Journey House and wish we could have stayed more! From the moment we arrived we felt incredibly at home and like we had everything we needed. The house is FULLY equipped and each room is unique and beautifully designed. On top of that, the outside terrace is magical and very spacious for any meal you might want to have up there. Cinzia and her husband were the MOST welcoming hosts and made sure we knew everything about the house and Manduria in general. We were on girls trip and really loved our stay at "Journey House"- We will for sure come back! Thank you so much to both of you! :)
