Cedric's apartment was fantastic! You couldn't ask for a better location, above the rooftops in front to catch the cool breezes off the lake with picture postcard views, and only a couple of houses back from the lake edge. A traditional style apartment with high ceilings, tiled floors, shutters etc and a small balcony on the side. Castro itself is only a small village and everyone is very friendly. A half hour slow walk takes you to neighbouring Lovere with cafes, restaurants and shops along the waterfront promenade and a small medieval centre. Cedric's cousin has a yummy restaurant in Lovere, do ask for directions to it! There is also a cafe and restaurant in Castro itself, 2 minutes from the apartment. Cedric was working so couldn't meet us at the apartment but arranged with a friend to get us the keys. We had a problem with the hot water the first day and the friend came around quickly to sort it out. Cedric was super helpful and answered my questions promptly. He sent excellent directions to the property and there were some tourist brochures in the apartment which were helpful too. When we left the local cafe owner said "see you next year" and I certainly would love to return!
