We enjoyed our stay here. It is a comfortable villa with a fantastic outdoor patio area that overlooks Castro. The host is welcoming and provided plenty of essential food to get us started. The property is about 3km out of Castro so you need a car. Theres a supermarket about 1km down the road in Diso. The kitchen is well equipped and we cooked a few nights. The great WIFI connection and smart TV were a welcome plus for us after a few weeks holidaying we were ready for a few quiet nights in. Castro itself is a quiet town. If you want nightlife I would stay in Otranto or maybe don’t go in the shoulder season like we did. We didn’t mind as we are a family that wanted quiet time. If you decide to do the dinner that the host offers I would agree on a price beforehand and know that it’s not really an experience just Francesca cooking the food. The format wasn’t what I expected. She arrived and served all the courses at once then left us to eat. The total time from start to finish was 40mins and we ended up with so much food we couldn’t eat it all (I’m talking several dishes for each course, a whole quiche and a whole cake!). It cost us 3 times a restaurant meal and the whole experience missed the mark for us. By no means did this mean we had a bad time here though as the house itself is great.
