We had been searching for a property in the Valle d’Itria for over four years when we came across Karina from Gelso Bianco – and everything changed. Thanks to their deep local knowledge and incredible network, Karina and her team helped us find the property of our dreams.
From the first viewing to final purchase including helping us negotiate; Karina and Domenico guided us through every step of the process with genuine care and professionalism.
But their support hasn’t stopped there. Even after the sale, they, along with Tarek, have continued working closely with us on the renovation – connecting us with trusted local builders, decorators, and craftsmen, and offering advice every step of the way.
We truly couldn’t have done this without them. They’ve not only helped us find our home, they’ve made the entire experience enjoyable, manageable, and exciting.
We’re endlessly grateful to the Gelso Bianco family that we feel have kindly taken us under their wing.

From finding our house, providing the clever design to link the old and new alongside the exquisite craftsmanship of the build to the delivery of the project on time, Gelsobianco have been exceptional. We started two years ago with what a UK friend described as “a pile of old stones” and now we don’t know what we have done to deserve such a beautiful house. Our bathroom in our trullo is particularly special with a shower in the cone! Gelsobianco was with us every step of the way, listening to what we wanted as well as what we could afford, guiding us when we got stuck and delivering us a house way beyond our dreams.
We didn’t know building a home in Italy could be relatively stress free, but also a lot of fun and that we would gain new friends along the way.

From the very beginning, we had some quirky and unique design requirements, and the team embraced our vision wholeheartedly. They skillfully blended various Italian styles to create a home that reflects our personality and taste, resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind living space.
*Communication:* Throughout the process, the communication was outstanding. The team kept us informed at every stage, ensuring we were always on the same page and that our ideas were incorporated seamlessly.
*Support:* Despite being managed from a distance, we felt incredibly supported. The team's dedication to our project was evident, as they provided guidance and solutions whenever needed, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.
We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a creative and collaborative approach to home design!
