“A dream in the mountains of the Cinque Terre”

We chose this borgo specifically to have a retreat for us and our dog in the Cinque Terre. This place offers absolute tranquillity, beautiful views and a level of comfort that you might not expect here. We had the flat with its own balcony and the facilities left nothing to be desired. Comfortable beds, very good and complete equipment. Yes, you have to buy something for a full breakfast (basic equipment is provided), but that's okay. From the house you can walk to the Cinque Terre (steeply up the mountain). We preferred the cabriolet and were in La Spezia in just a few minutes. There is also a short drive over the hill to the sea. The landlady is great. Her tips are worth their weight in gold. She takes the necessary time for her guests. THANK YOU! Note on access: no problem with all types of cars. The car park is not necessarily suitable for low-slung cars. You can drive up to the house with your luggage and unload it, but it's tight, but it works. However, there is also a short climb from the car park to the Borgo.

“The best accommodation 🙂”

The host, Francesca, is very friendly, she enabled us to accommodate earlier, gave us useful tips for our trip and prepared little snacks for breakfast, as well as very good wine. The accommodation in the old building with original ceiling and walls has an atmosphere and we also loved our little balcony with a view. The road to the town is very narrow and curvy, but it was worth driving here.

Very nice place, very nice landlord.

I travel a lot and it was the best apartment booked ever! Amazing surroundings, clean and comfy rooms, touch of the history, nice hike to Cinque Terre directly from the place. And the host Francesca is the nicest person EVER ❤️ She told us the story of Caste, gave all the tips regarding visiting the area and even recommended and booked the local restaurant for us. Thank you! 😊

“Stone paradise”

The small details: basket with breakfast, kitchen tools, easter chocolate eggs, the view , the stones walls...

“A very welcoming environment, but far from shops and restaurants”

The host was very nice, helpful and ready to answer everything about info on the area around. The building was traditional and the room was very cosy and brings you to another era in the past. Very clean and had everything one should need during his/her stay there.

“Beautiful place above La Spezia, excellent for nature and adventure enthusiasts.”

You might feel a bit nervous when you start the ascend on to Caste, but once you meet Francesca and her beautiful place all your fears go away. Clean, cozy, authentic feeling. Francesca is passionate about her activity and goes the extra mile to provide all the needed informations and tips. Would recommend 100%!

“It is a great place for a short stopover in that region. If you need a quiet peaceful place this will be it. The host is”

It is in a quiet and a nice area. And the room is simple and clean.

“It was very nice.”

Nice quite location high up and away from any town. Nice cozy and clean apartment. Tastefully renovated. Could hike to the sea. Public transport getting back was feasible (only had to walk 1 KM from bus stop). Even had live music on our first night. Host offered us lots of good info on activities and restaurants.

“Simply amazing.”

Stunning location, the drive up there was an adventure in itself, but so much worth it! Francesca, the owner, was so friendly and took all the time needed to give us recommendations and explain all the different options to see as much as possible. The apartment was beyond expectations, so beautiful! And the surroundings were so peaceful, we almost didn't want to leave!

The location is beautiful, in the middle of nature, with the sound of crickets and a fantastic view. The accommodation, simple and modest, is extremely tasteful and very comfortable. It feels like we are living in a small village. As for Francesca, I can't praise her enough, she couldn't be more friendly, available and helpful.

Casté is an old medieval village located in the mountain, right behind the Cinque Terre. Francesca made sure our stay was as comfortable as possible, taking the time at check in to help us out planning our trip. she has lots of recommendations and tips to avoid tourist traps and make the best out of your stay over there. Francesca also welcomed us with a basket of snacks, olive oil and breakfast stuff which was super nice and helpful for late check in. The apartment was around 35m2, which was fine with a small dog. You don't spend much time inside anyway. It's fully equipped and had a balcony with a stunning view over the mountain. The outside courtyard is super nice and you can enjoy the sun until pretty late in the evening. All guests are greeting each other as it's a small place, which is also nice to meet other fellow travellers. There are many hiking path starting straight from the village to reach cinque terre.

Visit portovenere

“Excellent experience”

Literally everything! They welcomed us with a glass of wine written our name. A message full of restaurants recommendation. Also, all information about how to visit Cinque Terre. You will have everything you need in the apartment. Many thanks to Francesca and Gemma and her friend:))
