Tony and Ombretta’s apartment was the perfect place to stay and enjoy the best of this beautiful island.
Everything in the apartment was spotless and well maintained, and the place has a great layout as well, with a huge lounge and very large bedrooms. All the rooms are beautifully decorated and the kitchen is fully stocked with all the equipment you might need to make family dinners. There were only 4 of us staying there so we were very comfortable, and it's apparently possible to transform the landing on the second floor to an extra bedroom as well.
The apartment itself is situated inside Giglio Castello, the beautiful old own at the top of the island. It’s a great place to stay if you prefer cooler evenings and nights after a day on the beach, as the areas near the sea stay pretty warm even when the sun has gone down. The Castello has a maze of picturesque streets, local food and clothes stores, and plenty of delicious restaurants. We loved going to Da Maria's for seafood, and Il Trione di Meino for lovely appetizers and great pizza.
It’s easy to park if you have a car (both paid and unpaid can be found around), but the bus is a great option to get to the different small towns and beaches (Porto, Cannelle, Campese, etc).
Tony and Ombretta are the most amazing hosts, really kind and caring, and if you need anything they’re always happy to help. We’d most definitely recommend staying here and we know we’ll be back soon!

Donna Lidia is within the walled Castello on top of the hill. It is a very old scenic city with places to eat, a bank, shops and walks down to the beaches. The accommodation is very clean, comfortable, spacious and had everything we needed. The owners were incredibly generous and helpful. We caught the train from Rome, then a bus from Orbetello Scalo to the ferry, then another bus to Castello Giglio. It was very easy to travel to the island from Rome and also around the Island even though we did not have a car. The views are spectacular and the beaches had excellent visibility for snorkeling. Our three teenage children, as well as us, had a fantastic time. August is very hot but there was no need for air conditioning because of the cool breeze in the evening, so we slept well. Going back to Rome was like going to a different planet. Isola de Giglio is an island with a lot of history yet also a lively and relaxing place to spend a holiday. Highly recommended and many thanks to our hosts.

The house is very beautiful, clean and spacious!! With our two young daughters (2 and 5 years old) we had a great time. The owners are really friendly and helpful, everything was wonderful. Thanks to Tony and Ombretta for everything!!

We stayed here for an idyllic 10 days last month. The house is charming, well-equipped ,spacious, spotless and in an ideal location in the heart of the walled town of Castello.
The owners couldn't have been more warm and welcoming. We had intended to stay for 7 days but loved it so much we decided not to return to Rome for the last few days of our holiday as planned and stayed on in Giglio instead.
Giglio is an amazing island with beautiful scenery, great beaches and a relaxed pace of life. If you want to get away from the stresses of everyday life and
recharge your batteries this is the place to go. We'll definitely be back to Giglio and hope to stay at Donna Lidia again.

Having visited a number of medieval towns over the years, we have long wanted to stay in on of these towns and experience first hand the traditional way of life. Giglio Castello is beautifully positioned with breathtaking views all around the island.
Donna Lidia lies right in the heart of medieval Castello. It has been sympathetically restored and blends naturally in with the surrounding architecture. Inside, the rooms are beautifully appointed, and combine local and typical furnishing along with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay.
The owners were very welcoming and went to great lengths to ensure that we had everything we needed to enjoy our holiday. They are both very passionate about Donna Lidia and their way of life on Isola del Giglio, and having shared this way of life for 2 weeks we can easily see why. Not too surprising then, we would emphatically recommend Donna Lidia and certainly intend to go back again.
Despite the relative size of the island there is a surprising amount to do. The bus service between the 3 villages is superb, allowing easy access to the many shops and restaurants. But we found the best way to explore the island was by the many ancient paths and tracks which take you through stunning orchards, farmland and natural scenery.
