Cà Mì is your ideal holiday home if you want to experience the Salento territory by living the true rythm of a small town of Southern Italy while enjoying your stay in a truly special place, where the original stones and finishings meet a more contemporary interior design. The owners found in Salento the ideal Mediterranean location for their holiday house. After a door-to-door hunt in the historic centre of Galatone they opened the door of this unique house of 60 sqm with 80 sqm of terraces on three levels, and made it their own in 2008. With 9 months of patient remodeling with local contractors and craftsmen, this house now features exquisite antique and handmade furniture and finishings. The well, the niches, the fireplace, the amazing stone vaulted ceiling of the living area were brought back to life in a more contemporary interior design. The huge master bedroom was rearranged to sleep comfortably 4 people with a newly designed mezzanine, and to create a large bathroom with double sinks and a floor-to-ceiling tiled shower room. The house has fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning/heating, TV with DVD, a large canopy with 2 sun beds on the upper terrace plus a fabulous open-air shower to end up your summer day in the best possible way. Sip your “aperitivo” in the front terrace. Take a walk and awe at the beautiful architecture of the historical neighborhood. Take the car to explore olive groves, ruins, beautifully preserved villages, beaches and to discover the simply great food this land has to offer. Make your own Best of Salento!

We had a great time in this stunning holiday home. It was cosy but quiet and had everything we needed. My husband loved lying in the sun on the roof top terrace, reading a book all afternoon. Galatone is a beautiful little town with delicious local cuisine, especially the Trattoria da Santino which is one door away and makes the most fantastic home cooked meals you could ever imagine. We loved our stay here and will be back soon :)

Abbiamo alloggiato in questa ottima casa - climatizzata - gia' la seconda volta e davvero il ns soggiorno e' stato piacevole e rilassante. La casa e' situata nel centro storico di Galatone, curata e ben attrezzata.
Ci godiamo questo posto situato tra mare e cultura, in piu' l'ottima cucina salentina.
Grazie a Sandra e Valerio, i proprietari della casa, ed Ilaria e Luigi sempre molto disponibili ed accoglienti sul posto.
Insomma, tutto perfetto e speriamo di tornare in Salento! Constantin e Heike

" FANTASTICA CA' MI' "
Abbiamo soggiornato in questa casa la seconda settimana di agosto e devo dire che è stata una vacanza meravigliosa. Tutto è curato nei minimi dettagli, superaccessoriata e arredata con molto gusto. Anche i terrazzi sono carinissimi e la doccia all'aperto è una vera chicca. La posizione è strategica. ..a Galatone non manca nulla..è vicinissima alle spiagge più belle del Salento e dista 20' da Lecce e 10' da Gallipoli. Un grazie speciale va ai proprietari, gentilissimi e disponibili per qualsiasi informazione e a Ilaria e Luigi per la loro pazienza. Contentissimi!!! Serena e Mirko

fantastic house
Beautiful and cozy house in the historical center of Galatone, tasteful and fully furnished. Galatone ia a little gem away from the august’s mad crowd, but only 10 minutes away from Gallipoli and the main attractions. It was a beautiful vacation, we will be back.

Nicely furnished little townhouse in an unspoiled town not far from Gallipoli.
Double bedroom and mezzanine with 2 singles but most comfortable for a couple.
Helpful owners and Ilaria on hand as a local contact, we enjoyed Puglia

We so enjoyed our stay in this nice and cozy house in the historical area of truly genuine Galatone. Ca' Mi' has all the comforts the traveller needs, with the extra of being very nicely designed and furnished. The owners and the housekeepers took care of every detail to make us feel welcome, from the moment we made the reservation and received tons of informations on Salento to the moment we checked-in and stepped in a spotless clean house that beat our highest expectations.
The real surprise was actually the location. Summertime in the Mediterranean is very lively and exciting, but the crowd can be overwhelming and stressful to some visitors. By choosing Galatone we could easily reach and explore every corner of Salento beating the craziest traffic, also knowing that at the end of the day we would return to this quiet, not touristy town that feels so far from the super-crowded Gallipoli. Which, by the way, is only 15 minutes away. A great trip in a stunningly beautiful region, that has some of the best we ever experienced in Italy for art, food, beaches and landscape.

We stayed from 27/6 until 14/7 in this beautiful apartment in the old, historical center of Galatone. We had a warm welcome from the housekeepers who speak english and german. The apartment was well equiped and very nicely furnished. The supermarkt is on a 5 minutes walk and there are plenty of typical Italian bars in the neighborhood where you can drink an espresso with a limoncello. Beaches are on a 10 minutes drive and all the nice, interesting cities are nearby.
We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful appartement and we can really recommand it.

An Exceptional and Truly Authentic Experience
We have travelled to Italy several times and were determined to see another side of the country this trip. We wanted the road less travelled, access to sites and beaches and a a good accommodation in the heart of a smaller town. We got it all!
First of all the owners, Sandra and Valerio, left no details to chance even before we arrived. We had complete instructions for every amenity in the apartment as well as a thorough guide to sites, restaurants, shopping and contacts.
The apartment is exactly as it is described with care taken to create a most comfortable place to rest and enjoy the town. It is obvious that they are proud of what they have created.
The real gift was the town and its people. We have many stories of the generosity and sincere kindness of people we met- none of whom spoke much English. But it did not seem to matter. We were escorted to the lavanderia, welcomed by Santino next door, driven to restaurants by strangers, provided directions to bakeries and other shops. We spent a week there and we both agreed that we could have quietly slipped into the fabric of the town. We would recommend this to anyone who wants to experience the authentic southern Italian hospitality. A wonderful memory still.

lovley Salento!
We stayed 9 days at Ca Mi in September/October and enjoyed our stay in this lovely little town, close to everything in Salento. Lecce, Gallipoli, San Leuca, Galatina, and all spots in between. Beaches on both sides of the "heel". All within easy driving distance.
Ca Mi is a lovely apartment deep in the heart of the historic town of Galatone and Sandra and Valerio have done much to ensure that all needs and comforts are met. The home is beautiful, with vaulted ceilings, authentic and beautiful furniture and a modern two sinked bathroom! Their caretakers are wonderful people who took us for coffee on arrival and pointed us in the direction of our first dinner upon arrival. There is a basketful of booklets and pamphlets and an excellent binder of how tos, where tos that gave us great direction for our stay in Salento.
A lovely stay in a beautiful area of Italy. Many thanks.

Ca Mi was in the "Real Puglia"
We stayed in Ca Mi for about 9 days and rented a car so we could explore the surrounding area as much as possible during our all too short first visit to Puglia. We discovered that we were able to literally visit and enjoy almost all of the major small towns and cities in the area very easily because of the very close proximity to Galatone (i.e.Lecce, Galatina, Otranto), and also spend time at several of the very beautiful beaches in the area. We had a special interest in the viniculture and olive oil agriculture in the region and the central location of the apartment in Galatone allowed us to visit several wineries and Massarias and to enjoy the wonderful food and wine in these locations. I was also amazed to discover that my special interest in the early pre-Roman, predominantly Greek civilization, which shaped much of Puglia's history was readily accessible since the area around Galatone and Galatina is literally surrounded by active archaeological sites and there is a very good archaeological museum in Lecce. Ca Mi was a wonderful place to stay as the accommodation and creature comfort of the apartment was exactly as advertised by the owners and as potrayed in the online photos. It was especially rewarding for me to know we were staying in an apartment that had once been part of the original medieval walled city of Galatone. The vaulted ceiling, antique furniture, spacious stone walled bathroom and master bedroom were fantastic, and the kitchen and cooking facilities easily would provide all the necessary space and implements for home cooked meals if one was so inclined - we on the other hand ate out every evening at one of the many very good, surprisingly inexpensive restaurants in either Galatone or one of the nearby small cities. To this end the owners were very helpful with their many suggestions for dining out and places to visit in the surrounding area. Their helpers in Galatone (Luigi,Santino, Ilaria) were also very helpful upon our arrival (making sure we got settled in after a rather long ferry trip from Croatia), and were also very quick to give us help in finding nearby grocery stores, laundry facilities, and understanding parking in the nearby street. The Tratoria just below the apartment was great fun for us and the owner, Santino, and his son, Luigi, were very welcoming, introduced us to local people in the neighborhood, and fed us very well our first night in Galatone. We will return to Ca Mi.

Beautifully renovated house in great location
The moment we walked through the door we felt comfortable in this lovely old house in the centre of Galatone. We had a great holiday and very much enjoyed our stay. The house has been renovated in a very clever, comfortable, sympathetic and smart way retaining all the character with a modern twist.
It's a great base to explore the area's fantastic coastline and historic towns and villages.
We'll be back!

Loved it
I went with my husband and daughter in July 2013 and we so much enjoyed our stay. Salento is beautiful, and Galatone is very central to reach with a short drive the main cities like Gallipoli, Lecce and Otranto but also all the coast and beaches. It was nice to spend the whole day out and then return to this cozy and quiet house to relax and sip a drink in the terrace. Ca' Mi' was just lovely, so clean and welcoming that we felt home right away. No hotel can beat that. The owners and the housekeeper had a lot of attention for us: both before the arrival with many informations on the house and the region, and during our stay with the housekeeper always available to help us in case of need. We would definetely love to go again.

Lovely flat close to Everything in Salento
We, a Swedish couple of 60+, spent two great weeks in this wonderfully restored flat in September 2013. The flat had everything we needed and even more. It was perfectly clean and we were very well taken care of by the housekeepers at our arrival. We also got their telephone number, so we could reach them if we needed some help during our stay, which felt very good!
The City of Galatone is perfect for discovering the landscape, Everything was very Close, and as we got many suggestions from the house owners of fine restaurants, nice beaches and charming cities and villages, we had a lot to see and discover.
Before we came to Galatone we had received many mails, with helpful information about Salento and how to reach CaMi.
As the flat is situated in the middle of the old Town, we had the chance to almost take part in the everyday Life of the people living next to us. That was a great experience, which you never get when you stay at a Holiday Village for example.
Our stay at CaMi was wonderful, and has given us many unforgetable memories.
Thank you Sandra and Valerio for making our stay so pleasant!!

A very comfortable house ideally located
We loved our stay at Ca'Mi. The house was clean and we'll maintained. We enjoyed the comfort of the house, everything you need is available. We loved the antique furniture and the characteristic ceiling in the house. Also the possibility of outside sitting was great. We fell in love with the historic city itself. We will certainly return!

Deep SUD, Big Bang
I were in Galatone, Galatina and Gallipoli.
The apartment TOP, the food TOP and Wine TOP (I don't ask more).
If you wont to know the real Salento go there. (Like Jonkoping, Linkoping and Norrkoping for the Sweden)
About the shore, next time.

da Roma a Galatone. Un sogno ad occhi aperti
Bellissima vacanza, il Salento in settembre è una meraviglia. Spiagge deserte, mare caldo, ristoranti tutti per noi. Abbiamo anche esplorato molto l'entroterra come ci hanno consigliato Valerio e Sandra, i padroni di casa: una vera sorpresa! Gentilissimi, ci hanno mandato per email tante informazioni utili. E soprattutto a casa loro siamo state davvero bene: accogliente, arredata con gusto, pulita, molto ben organizzata, ci siamo sentite subito a nostro agio: uno dei piaceri della vacanza era rientrare la sera a "casa nostra". Assolutamente raccomandata, torneremo in Salento e a Cà Mì!
