Villa Gioia, a Sea View Haven on Giglio Island

Perched on the eastern coast of Giglio Island, Villa Gioia offers a breathtaking view that stretches from the turquoise waters of Arenella beach to the Tuscan mainland, where the Monte Argentario peninsula meets the sea and the silhouette of Giannutri floats gently on the horizon. Surrounded by lush terraced gardens and the wild scent of Mediterranean scrub, this haven of peace promises total privacy—the nearest neighbor is hundreds of meters away, leaving you immersed in nature’s embrace. Built in the 1950s by a visionary architect who created a twin villa on Monte Argentario across the sea, Villa Gioia is now a beautifully restored residence. The Stam family has brought it back to life with elegance and authenticity, paying homage to its soul with careful attention to every detail. The property is divided into four distinct apartments, each with its own personality, yet all united by serenity, style, and exceptional sea views. “Panoramica” is a dream in blue. Located on the seafront side of the villa, it feels suspended between sky and water. A sun-drenched teak terrace with a private jacuzzi invites you to unwind while gazing out over the infinite horizon. Inside, a bright living area with fully equipped kitchen and sofa bed opens toward the sea, while a cozy bedroom and modern bathroom complete the setting—ideal for two to four guests. The split-level “Torre” apartment is a private retreat with large panoramic windows, a secluded garden, and a sea-view terrace. Accessible from both levels via the sloped garden, it features a spacious living area with kitchen and sofa bed upstairs, and a stylish bedroom with en-suite bathroom and terrace below. Outside, a teak-furnished garden with a hot tub and gazebo creates the perfect setting for al fresco dining or moments of pure relaxation. On the villa’s ground floor lies “Amici”, a refined yet welcoming space designed for shared memories. A large semi-covered terrace with jacuzzi and sea views invites you to dine under the stars or simply bask in the sun. Indoors, you’ll find a serene double bedroom, a cozy living room with sofa bed and a fully equipped kitchenette, as well as a modern bathroom and two flat-screen TVs. Hidden within the lush garden, “Romantica” is a charming standalone cottage offering complete privacy—an ideal hideaway for couples or honeymooners. Spread across one and a half floors, it features a graceful bedroom, a living area with kitchenette and sofa bed, and a luxurious outdoor space with a wood-decked terrace, dining area, loungers, open-air shower, and private jacuzzi. Every element is designed for quiet indulgence and timeless romance. Just 4 minutes from the idyllic Arenella beach and the vibrant harbor of Giglio Porto, Villa Gioia is a rare gem—a sanctuary where nature, elegance, and Mediterranean charm come together to create memories that linger long after the holiday ends.
