We spent 12 days in Castione and it was a real pleasure. It is a small town with cheerful and generous people. The house itself was comfortable and good enough for giving shelter for three people. We mainly were interested in Via Ferratas so the location was also quite good. There is a big kitchen with major facilities, bedroom and bathroom with a shower cabin. There was even a bloydrier which is very useful for ladies. Second floor had an open space room with sofa and one more bedroom with a bit low ceiling which actually looked nice although one had to mind his head while walking there.
For basic needs there is a small market that openes at 7.30 in the morning. Remember that on Sundays it will be closed. If you enjoy sleeping late, Cathedral bells might be a problem as they start ringing at 7.00 but it is a part of the town's life which make it special.
As a tip, there is a great place to eat pizza in a nerby town of Brentonico - Pizzeria la Pineta.
As for the hosts, they were really helpful and hospitable. They waited patiently till we arrive and showed us all the details.
To put it in a nutshell, it was a good choice for our objectives.
