Big Gorgeous House with Stunning Views and Central to Everything!!

Our host Giulio was excellent to communicate with when it came to booking and also when we arrived in Castro and he met us in the Piazza at the Marina to show us to the house. He very thoughtfully left provisions and wine for us and recommended a local Trattoria, Pizzica, where smiling, friendly staff served fantastic food and wine. Giulio took care to show us all aspects of the house and was just a text away during our stay. A pleasure to deal with.

The house was an absolute gem - the location is superb, right on the marina with an uninterrupted view of the bluest water you have ever seen and the town of Castro. There were many places nearby to swim in crystal clear water and lots of activities for the children such as the paddle boats with in built slides which we hired every day. We also took a boat to the nearby grottos which were stunning and drove to visit nearby towns and beaches with great cliff diving. You can walk everywhere from this house in Castro. We had a car and it was very easy to park on the street right near the house.

The house is beautiful - it is very spacious and has big romantic shutters which could be opened from every room. There were three separate terrace areas for relaxing with lovely plants and gardens - the perfect location for sun bathing during the day, reading and for late afternoon Puglian wine! This house is way better than the photos. Our children who are 13, 12 and 9 had plenty of space and separate sleeping areas and you could easily have larger groups stay here. There was air conditioning in the bedrooms with clean linen and comfortable beds. There were cooking facilities which we only managed to use once as we enjoyed the local food so much. Even though the house is very central it is also very quiet and we enjoyed siestas in the heat of the day.

The old town up the top of Castro is wonderful to visit particularly in the early and later evening when the sun is setting on the old buildings and castle and the locals are emerging to socialise. This part of Italy is very friendly. There seemed to be many people coming to holiday in Castro as it was the start of summer and they were mostly Italian.

We would highly recommend this great house and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
