Castro Hotel Guide - Artefatto - L'idea in Terracotta hotels in Castro, Italy.

"We had such a MAGICAL stay in Castro! The house was wonderful and spacious and had plenty of room for our kids to spread out! We cooked most nights and the little town store was perfect. The proximity to other beaches and towns was amazing as well. We loved our stay!!"

"The location is simply breathtaking. The private (shared with other trullos) sea access is a big plus. It really felt like a nice pause in this hectic world. A few things didn't work properly (the stove) and some would definitely require some investment (the bed, the shower, the sink). There are way too many extra items to take into consideration. We have rented other places during this trip in Italy where we didn't have that. This feels old fashioned and you would benefit from including ALL costs (electricity, cleaning, bedsheets) in the initial prices. The additional useless agreement to sign is unnecessary. Also, if you pay extra for certain items, it would be great not to have to do things yourself (bed, taking out the garbage)."

"Beautiful views, excellent location, and outstanding service. I will definitely come back and highly recommend this hotel!"

"The view from the upper terrace is fantastic: A beautiful sunset in comfortable patio furniture. The location in the medieval castled town is perfect. The villa is next to one of two piazzas, and also is next to the church. Several excellent restaurants are within a 5-10 minute walk. The clean and swimmable Castro marina is a 600 step walk down from the town. The service was the management team was quick and efficient. Items that make the place less than ideal: all the doors are locked inside and out. You must carry the 9 keys at all times, even to get out of the front door. The one bathroom on the main level is very small and the ceiling slopes make using the bidet very difficult to use. The water heater is very small. One shower every 1/2 hour. The steps to the one bedroom on the main level are steep and small. The garbage collector will wake you up at 6:30 am every day but Sunday. The bells from the church will wake up every day at 7:30. Then they ring several times an hour. In Italy you need 6 different garbage containers. The villa has only 3.(Only 2 burners on the stove worked; the terraces haven't been cleaned in quite a while. There are no screens on the main floor doors, but there are screens on the lower doors. The flying insects were very bad. We had to keep the doors and the one window closed at all times. There are 2 TVs, but the repair guy could only get one to work. There's no way to stream to the one TV. The couch is extremely uncomfortable.) "
