The History of BarbarHouse s.r.l.
Have you ever heard of an intuition, an idea hatched by enterprising young minds that within a few years has turned into a successful reality? That's who we are, the story of Barbarahouse was born just like that. It's 2007, January 17, and in Casarano, in the heart of Salento in Puglia, Barbarhouse srl, the company to which today the Perle di Puglia and BarbarHouse brands belong, sees the light.
Years go by, good ideas grow and make themselves known. That's what happened to us at Barbarhouse srl: but the intuition has deeper roots and to tell the story we have to go back to 1998. It's in that year that the very young Antonio Barbara registers the domain barbarhouse.com, for the activity of renting rooms in a building owned "Casa Barbara", together with his brother Giovanni. It works!
The Perle di Puglia circuit.
The Barbara brothers begin to look around to expand Barbarhouse's business and contact owners of houses and villas with appeal, which from 2005 onward become Perle di Puglia in the perledipuglia.com domain catalog created for charming villas and prestigious residences. Continually growing, Barbar.House recruits new partners ready to take off in the tourist real estate market.
So, we said, January 17, 2007 arrives and BarbarHouse s.n.c. is born, founded by partners Enrico Pisanò, Riccardo Schirinzi and Antonio Barbara, flanked by Giovanni, who in the meantime embarks on a banking career. Perledipuglia.it becomes a dynamic portal, the first in Italy that offers the possibility to interact and book villas and vacation homes online. In 2010 Salento-CaseVacanze.it was born, dedicated to tourist rentals other than "luxury villas. In 2014, the growing turnover justifies the conversion of the legal form from s.n.c to s.r.l. with the entry among the partners of Barbara Giovanni, who from that moment begins to give its great impulse.
With the arrival of Salento-CaseVacanze.it to offset the possibilities of renting houses and apartments for all needs and all budgets, the growth of Barbara House has never stopped since. The BarbarHouse team has grown, welcoming year after year new recruits, new collaborators, new enthusiasm: a crew of talents animated by a single motto: ad maiora!
In 2020 the Salento-CaseVacanze.it project was absorbed by the larger and more general project of BarbarHouse.com aimed not only at Salento but at the whole of Puglia and even beyond regional and national borders.
