“A lovely environment to return to after a day of ocean and sunshine”
Beautifully styled apartment with lots of thought given. Everything is modern and functioning. The washing machine was a bonus. The location makes it easy to pop to the ocean and grab a vino or gelato.

This small flat in the old town of Castro is the perfect base to explore the beaches nearby. The hosts were super helpful and provided a parking ticket for the town, which was very convenient. The flat has good conditions for a few relaxed days and the price is fair

“Beautiful trip in Castro. Relaxing and quiet apartment.”
This was a fantastic place. I wish we could have stayed for longer. We loved Castro and we loved the apartment, about a two minute walk from the beach. I'll definitely be back, already planning another trip. If you're thinking of booking this place, then do it!

“Great stay”
Great location with a parking pass provided. We were sent a couple of videos on where to find the apartment. It was very helpful. We were able to unload our bags in front, then park the car a short walk away. The apartment was very comfortable. Separate bedroom, kitchen & sitting area. Washing machine was a bonus. Outside terrace was lovely for evenings with a glimpse of the sea, lovely outlook. The town is very hilly. So be prepared for steps. The apartment is walking distance to the centro storico. The little marina has a swimming spot in front. And a few restaurants overlooking the sea. There is a small market in town for essentials but we found a Coop in nearby Marittima had more items.

“The best place we have stayed in our travels.”
Itaca is perfectly positioned, quiet and well equipped. It has a lovely outdoor terrace. A five minute walk down some steps takes you to the marina and the sea. It’s a ten minute walk up to the old town and the supermarket. Giulia was an amazing host, responding quickly to our queries and giving lots of useful information. We would definitely stay here again. Great air con, lovely kitchen and bathroom, comfortable bedroom. All modern and thoughtfully furnished. Washing machine was particularly useful. Perfect

“An Unforgettable Stay Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)”
Dear Julia, We can't express enough how delighted and satisfied we are with our stay in the apartment you rented to us in Castro, Italy. We had an unforgettable week, from August 26th to September 3rd, 2023, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate my wife's birthday. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and pampered. The apartment was a delightful surprise, far surpassing our expectations from the photos. It is tastefully decorated and has a cozy atmosphere that made us feel at home right away. There was nothing lacking in this apartment, from the washing machine to the dishwasher, from the coffee machine to the refrigerator, and much more. Your kindness was also evident in the small details, like finding olive oil, coffee, cookies, and a bottle of water upon our arrival. These personal touches made our stay even more special. We particularly adored the terrace with the morning sun, where we spent our breakfasts and lunches. Additionally, the assistance you provided in obtaining the resident parking permit was greatly appreciated and made our experience even more convenient. Your generous guidance on places to visit and things to do in the area enriched our vacation. Thanks to your recommendations, we discovered wonderful places that we might have otherwise overlooked. The location of the apartment is simply perfect, just a few minutes from the nearest beach and a short 10-15 minute walk to the historic center. Castro is a charming place, and your apartment made our visit to this beautiful town even more special. All in all, we can't recommend your apartment and the town of Castro enough. We genuinely hope to return one day to enjoy this oasis of beauty and hospitality once again. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our stay so unforgettable, Julia. You are an exceptional host and have given us precious memories. With warmth and gratitude, Anton and Helena A couple from Sweden

“Highly recommend this apartment!”
Travelled here with my brother and the location of the apartment is great! Near everything but on a quiet street. Loved the terrace :)! Giulia was a great host, gave us plenty of tips of local restaurants and places nearby to explore and was fast to reply if we had any questions during our stay. We learned from a local resident that the free parking was only for residents with a parking permit, so we parked nearby in town instead, there was always available spots and the daily fee was very affordable! Would definitely recommend this place! You’ll have a great time! Thanks again!
