Casa Vacanza Castagna

The location with views of the lake is wonderful. . Our hostess met us as planned and explained the facilities. The apartment was beautifully decorated, very comfortable and an exceptional find. We wish we could stay longer. The apartment has everything you need if you want to cook or it's close to restaurants as well. Great coffee bar and grocery store across the street. Highly recommend this property.

We really enjoyed the nice apartment, with a balcony overlooking the lake. It is in a quiet local neighbourhood with a bar and a well-equipped supermarket with a Variety of fresh groceries. The owner is very kind and helpful and reacts immediately to cells or messages. The best thing however is the garden. 'Garden' though is quite an understatement. It is a beautiful compilation of terraces overlooking the lake, with citrus trees, herbal plants and many other plants. It is even possible to enter the lake for a swim (though the al water was rather cold in april and it is advisable that you are used to swimming in open water). The garden is very large and only accessible for the host family and guests. We spent six hours in the garden and we had it completely to ourselves. Of course you should bring your own drinks and snacks, no bar available! The garden is located 2 kms from the apartment, a 5 minuten drive by car. You can park your car at the premises of the garden.

It is not really a disadvantage as the house itself is very nice and located in a nice neighbourhood, but the garden is not directly accessible from the house.

We loved how local it felt and the place itself had a nice kitchen for us to relax and cook in.

The private garden beach was stunning, but it is about a 30-40 minute walk all the way to the bottom! The town on a cliff so everything requires a mini hike to get around!

The property was well stocked and clean

The pictures were deceiving to us. We thought the property was right next to the water but it isn’t. Had trouble finding it and the parking. Note that it is down a small alley that is not easy to navigate.
