Hotel Castello

"Hotel Castello, sadly, does not have a swimming pool or a sitting out area. However, it is an easy stone's throw to the pristine sands of Terza Spiaggia where you can rent chairs and umbrellas or you can throw a towel down on the free part of the beach. Take a beach towel rather than renting one. The hotel staff are excellent from front desk, through the bar and dining area, to the cleaning staff. Without exception, they were warm, friendly, and helpful - even the who had little English to match our little Italian. We had a room with a stunning sea view - well worth the extra money - and a terrace with a table, chairs and a drying rack. The room was spotlessly clean and the bed was king-sized and comfortable. The buffet breakfast was excellent - plenty of variety including bacon and eggs. The hotel does not do evening meals, but restaurant terrace is a great place for an aperitif. The nearest restaurant is Terza Spiaggia Farè Beach - right on the doorstep by the short path to the beach. We had two meals there both of which were very good. Our table was right by the water's edge with a view across the sea. The menu was varied, the wine was good value, and the staff were friendly. We booked through The Fork app and got a 30% reduction in the food bill. The other restaurant we tried was La Lanterna, a short walk towards the shops from the hotel. The pizza I had was really good, and my wife very much enjoyed her grilled sea bass. The wine was reasonably priced and enjoyable as was the food. Again, the staff were excellent. This is a very popular restaurant, so booking is highly recommended. Overall, we greatly enjoyed our short stay at Hotel Castello in the stunningly beautiful Golfo Aranci. Certainly good value for money."

"Very comfortable and well-organized 3-star hotel. The room with an enchanting sea view, small but with an adequate closet, nice bathroom, a small livable terrace, and breakfast with a sea view. It overlooks the private beach directly, which can be reserved, with bar service also available at the umbrella (snacks, fresh dishes, drinks, ice cream) by ordering conveniently from your cell phone. Fair prices. The only flaw is that the umbrellas are spaced too close together. Golfo Aranci also offers a sea that slopes down with the most beautiful shades of blue. The hotel also offers a transfer service to/from the airport. Car rental directly from the hotel. Very friendly staff, Mrs. Gina very helpful in providing all the information before and during the stay."

"Hotel with many strong points. Wonderful location practically on the beach, kindness from everyone from the owner, to the reception, to the cleaning ladies, lifeguards always attentive and helpful. Excellent breakfast and the possibility of eating lunch. Cleanliness of the rooms and the entire property is excellent. Comfortable rooms. I only have to point out the absence of a larger and more comfortable common room and a beach with too many sunbeds packed together even for outsiders and therefore not very spaced out. A stupendous sea makes up for it. Overall recommended"
