Villa Galea

Splendid Villa with Direct Sea Access in Castro Marina

Imagine waking up to the sight of the sea and stepping directly into the crystal-clear waters. This dream can be your reality at our magnificent villa in Castro Marina. Located just about 600 meters from the vibrant town square and the picturesque harbor, Villa Galea is perfectly positioned to enjoy a sunset aperitivo or embark on an unforgettable boat excursion. This villa offers a rejuvenating holiday experience in the heart of Salento.

Villa Galea is comprised of two independent, terraced units connected by scenic external staircases that lead all the way down to the sea. This unique layout is perfect for large groups or multiple families who want to share a memorable vacation while still enjoying their own private spaces.

The main body is located at the center of the property, closer to the sea, and is spread across two levels. It features two double bedrooms and a twin bedroom, all with air conditioning, and two bathrooms with showers. On the upper level, you'll find a welcoming, air-conditioned living-dining room with stunning sea views. This space opens onto a large, comfortable sea-view terrace equipped with a reed pergola, a dining table for 8-10 people, and comfortable outdoor sofas - ideal for alfresco dining or simply relaxing with a book. A well-equipped kitchen, complete with a dishwasher, is conveniently connected to the dining area. From the living room or kitchen, you can access the two bedrooms on this level: one spacious double and one smaller twin, which share a bathroom with a shower. An internal staircase leads down to the lower floor, including the third double bedroom, a bathroom with a shower, a laundry room with a washing machine, and a cozy small living room with a sofa. A French door opens directly from this room onto a magnificent, shaded garden that extends all the way to the sea. A private gate provides access to a small path that leads to a concrete platform on the cliffside. From here, you can set up an umbrella and sunbeds before descending masonry steps for a refreshing swim in the sea. We highly recommend wearing appropriate reef shoes for a more comfortable experience on the rocks.

Located on a higher terrace of the property, the annex offers a more private escape. It includes its own outdoor terrace with a shaded pergola, a small dining/breakfast table, and outdoor sofas. Inside, you'll find an intimate yet functional space with a sea-view twin/double bedroom, a cozy living room with a sofa, a well-equipped kitchenette, and a bathroom with a shower. The living room is air-conditioned, and leaving the door open allows the cool air to circulate into the bedroom.

Villa Galea also includes a shaded parking area for two cars with direct access from the main Litoranea road, making travel easy and hassle-free.

We highly recommend a visit to the charming ancient village of Castro Alta. Explore its squares filled with restaurants and bars, the Byzantine cathedral, and the panoramic walk along the city walls, which offers breathtaking views of Castro Bay. While you're there, be sure to see the magnificent statue of the goddess Athena, the largest classical statue ever found, which was discovered during archaeological excavations beneath the citadel.
