Welcome to Casa Bianca di Anna, an authentic vacation home in the historic centre of Galatone. Carefully renovated, it blends the charm of local architecture with modern comfort — perfect for a stay as a couple, a family or with friends.
Santa Maria al Bagno, Santa Caterina, Gallipoli, Porto Selvaggio and Porto Cesareo are just minutes away by car. Nardò, Lecce, Otranto and Santa Maria di Leuca let you explore the full cultural and culinary richness of Puglia.
The town of Galatone is home to a wealth of local shops and producers, open all year round. We'll happily share our favourite addresses with you. If, like us, you love authenticity, local life, rest and generous nature, you will fall hopelessly in love with Salento.
Galatone keeps its true Salento soul: baroque lanes, churches on every corner, and a historic centre that is still lived in — not turned into a stage set for tourists.

"The Florence of the South"
The closest — 7 km
A small sandy bay in the heart of a charming seaside village. Clear, calm water, ideal for families. A mix of sand and flat rocks. Superb at sunset.
The most spectacular — 11 km
A wild cove within a nature reserve, magnificent pine forest, a 10-15 minute access trail, exceptional turquoise water. Probably the region's most beautiful natural spot.
A long golden sand beach, shallow sea, seaside atmosphere with beach clubs and services. Very well suited to children.
A large bay with transparent waters, white sand and a shallow seabed, historic coastal watchtower. A quieter atmosphere than Porto Cesareo.
28 km
A vast white sand beach, spectacular turquoise water, natural dunes. One of Puglia's finest beaches.
On the Ionian side
A magical sunset. Also worth seeing: Sant'Isidoro (fine sand) and Spiaggia di Porto Selvaggio (wild nature).
📸 We're still missing your own photos for Lido Conchiglie and Sant'Isidoro — send them over whenever you have them.
Our adventure began with a first visit to Salento, staying with friends who had settled in this magnificent region. A certain idea of happiness quietly crept into our minds... Our passion took hold on the second visit.
Passionate travellers, we've explored many countries and stayed in all kinds of accommodation: we value authenticity and comfort above all. These are the two things we want to share with you at Casa Bianca di Anna. Here's what makes us fall in love with Galatone all over again, every year:
On Saturday mornings, we happily lose ourselves among the stalls of fruit, vegetables and local cheeses — it's our favourite ritual for feeling the pulse of the village, far from the tourist trail.
As the heat fades, the historic centre takes on a new face: golden stone, lit-up façades, a quiet punctuated by voices and laughter. A walk we never tire of.
Our trusted addresses for olive oil, burrata, bread and the day's vegetables — everything you need to put together a delicious meal in minutes, without ever sacrificing simplicity.
A glass of Puglian wine, the table set, the sky turning pink over the rooftops of Galatone: this is where a real holiday begins, and it's this moment we want to offer you.
"Ci va, ci vene, ci rresta..." — an inscription found on a door in Galatone that sums up the spirit of Salento rather well: people pass through, come back, and many end up leaving a piece of their heart here.
