Our stay at Castella del Duca was amazing. Our host, Fabio, and the owner were both great. Fabio waited for us at the top of the gate until we arrived. Unfortunately, due to rental car issues, we arrived nearly 4 hours after we initially planned. He was quick to message us on AirBnb to make sure we were OK.

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon. We were upgraded to a nicer suite as a gesture. We were given many recommendations, as far as where to eat, how to travel, where to visit, etc. They were very helpful in that regard.

Even on the weekend, when Fabio was not physically around, he was easily accessible on AirBnb messenger, as I needed to ask him where to print our boarding passes for our flight the next day.

My wife and I thought Fabio was a great host, our stay was great, and we will hopefully be back to enjoy the grounds again.

One suggestion I have is to rent a car (although driving in Italy is crazy - very different than North America/UK). As far as I know, it would have been approximately 2 hrs to get to Castella del Duca via public transport. We saved ourselves a lot of time and effort by renting a car.
