Simply Brilliant Place

When you stay somewhere it is always nice to look at the Visitors Book and see the comments. We will all have stayed at certain places and seen in books people who are repeat stayers. I used to think how strange it was that people would do the a holiday in the same place repeatedly. Well unashamedly my family and I are one of those people. First came in 2006 and just come back from our tenth stay. In that time family and life has changed but one thing hasn't, the beauty of this magnificent house of Mary and Tony. It is so well kept, beautiful garden with blooming flowers and the most amazing view down over Lisciano and Mercatale. You feel like you have escaped to your own piece of Italian heaven. Felt moved to say how brilliant the place is, how lucky my family have been to have stayed and to say this is a must stay at place if you want to relax and experience the best of Italy

Well kept, beautifully furnished inside and outside, newly redecorated, very clean and tidy. The terrace running along the back of the house is a great asset. Garden and views lovely, easy access to the villages below both Ristorante di Gianna and Trattoria Mimmi are both worth a visit and very good value. We would definitely consider another visit.

Gorgeous Pool

The house was lovely and the pool gorgeous. So many very nice details in the house and the garden. Weather was a bit hot to discover the cities in the area. So we will certainly come back during a cooler season. Thank you for the great organization. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Raul

AMAZING

We had a wonderful time at Castellino- what a fantastic place. Thank you. I am afraid we broke a couple of wine glasses when we were there. Just thought I should let you know



The house was fantastically positioned above the village and with so many wonderful places to visit close by. The house itself was wonderfully comfortable and spacious and the pool was AMAZING!



We would love to go back one day or perhaps try another of your wonderful houses! We were so lucky with the weather and returning to England feels sooooo cold!!
