Great hotel with balcony & parking
We loved this hotel. Castro is a great spot to explore the coastline. Big room with fridge, and balcony with sea view. New shower , nice staff and on site parking, breakfast italian buffet was decent enough and wifi good. Hotel is within walking distance to Grotto zinzuIusa. You can walk up into the historic center in less than 1omin and a series of steps and shortcuts takes you to Castro marina in 20-3Omin.

Eccellente location per Zinzilusa
Perfetto soggiorno per vedere le grotte di zinzolusa (a lordi poche centinaia di metri) e altri posti meravigliosi. Albergo tenuto con cura e titolari al lavoro in prima persona nella ricezione, colazione ecc. Tutto perfetto.

Bel hôtel en bord de mer
Bel hôtel en bord de mer, très calme, d'un très bon rapport qualité/prix. Les chambres ont un balcon et une fantastique vue sur la mer ! Le soleil innonde les chambres le matin. L'hôtel est situé dans un jardin méditerranéen, à 7mn à pied du centre historique de Castro par le chemin (éclairé) qui monte au village. Le personnel est charmant. Nous avons passé 4 jours extrêmement agréables.

Struttura accogliente con ottimo servizio compresa colazione. Esterni favolosi curati nel dettaglio del verde e degli spazi. Camera spaziosa e ben arredata con solo il bagno un po' piccolino. Top balconcino attrezzato con vista mozzafiato sul mare!!!! Indimenticabile.

Nicht empfehlenswert!
Die Lage und die Aussicht sind fantastisch. Allerdings ist das Hotel sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Starker Schimmelbefall im Bad, Ameisen im Zimmer, … schade! Leider war auch das meiste Personal, bis auf wenige Ausnahmen, unfreundlich und total gelangweilt.
