The Charm of Stone: Villa Già
ABOUT THE VILLA
The Charm of Stone – Villa Già
In the authentic heart of the Apulian countryside, in the peaceful area of San Michele Salentino, stands Villa Già, an ancient stone lamia that preserves the timeless charm of tradition while embracing the comfort of modern living.
Surrounded by centuries-old olive trees and dry-stone walls, this home tells the story of the essential beauty of true Puglia: the golden sunlight, the scent of rosemary, and the silence broken only by the song of cicadas.
The private irregular-shaped pool, set among rocks and local stone, becomes the heart of the garden — a small paradise where time slows down and every detail invites you to relax.
Among the Olive Trees
The interiors of Villa Già are a sanctuary of light and stone, where rustic elegance meets the warmth of home.
The house accommodates up to 6 guests and features two bedrooms and two bathrooms with showers.
The master bedroom is bright and inviting, furnished with neutral tones and natural materials.
The second bedroom, designed for families, includes a double bed and a small adjoining room with two single beds that can be joined together — perfect for children or young guests.
A living area with sofa bed, a fully equipped kitchenette, and a small dining table complete the interiors, offering both comfort and functionality for a truly relaxing holiday.
A Garden of Light and Silence
Outdoors, Villa Già reveals its most poetic side: a private garden dotted with fruit trees, palms, and tropical plants, a covered patio ideal for open-air dining, and a stone barbecue for enjoying long summer evenings under the stars.
The natural pool blends harmoniously with the stone and surrounding landscape, creating a perfect dialogue between architecture and nature.
It is a place to experience the true essence of Puglia — simple, slow, and radiant.
Among Whitewashed Villages and Blue Seas
Villa Già enjoys a strategic location, ideal for exploring the most charming towns of the Valle d’Itria and both the Adriatic and Ionian coasts:
- San Michele Salentino – 3 km: the nearest village, with traditional restaurants, cafés, and local shops.

A place where every sunset becomes a memory and every silence, an emotion.
