House holiday rentals in Castro

We had a wonderful stay at this modern, minimalist and very tastefully furnished villa. The quiet location and the large pool were perfect for relaxing, and yet we were a few minutes by car from the most beautiful beaches of Salento. Thanks to Giulia and Michele who took care of everything. We would come back anytime!

We received a truly exemplary welcome from Carmelo and Donatella, who showed us and explained everything and gave us useful advice on places to visit and where to eat well nearby. It was truly a wonderful holiday.

Absolutely exceptional stay – beyond all expectations! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Paolo was an outstanding host – warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our stay as perfect as possible. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly well taken care of. The villa itself is just amazing – full of character, thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need, and spotlessly clean. But the real highlight? The view. Absolutely breathtaking. Photos don’t do it justice – it’s something you have to see with your own eyes. This place is a hidden gem, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Thank you, Paolo, for everything – you’ve set the bar impossibly high!

We had a wonderful time. The house was amazing...so beautiful and beautiful decor...lots of upcycled pieces of furniture that we loved, you would know a lot of love went into this house. We loved the pool, we swam everyday in it, we are from Ireland so even though it was may it was very warm to us!! the village is beautiful, the locals are so friendly, it is not busy but has all you would want, local cafe/bar, supermarket, beautiful bakery and pizza place! it is quiet and relaxing and moves at a italian pace which was refreshing break from our lives at home. great base to explore other towns villages and beaches! what more can I say only we wish our time was longer in your beautiful house. thank you!!

Beautiful and very peaceful place within the old town of Nardo with everything in walking distance. Lovely courtyard & very friendly and helpful host.

Superhost - exactly what you expext from superhosts. We were with a 1,4 year baby. - they provided all equipment you expect for the child. Our baby got sick, helped with the hospital, gave all recommendations we needed, always reaponsive and very friendly. Villa was super for families, can’t dream about anything else.

The house and garden are really beautiful! We spent many great hours there and even used the pizza oven 😍the place is really highly recommended! Antina is very sweet and helpful, answered every question:-) We were there at the end of September and had many mosquitoes🦟. The location is also perfect, you can see many beautiful beaches and lecce is also only 30-40 minutes away :)

More beautiful than even the pictures. Perfect relaxing stay in Puglia. Easy access to town and great outdoor and pool areas.

Beautiful home! Quiet, with ample free parking immediately outside. Host was super responsive and friendly. Very smooth stay in a central location for exploring Puglia.

The place is very nice and cozy, with a private entrance area and wonderful roof terrace! The Airbnb is located in the middle of the town, there is also free parking closeby. We loved the local goodies and the recommendation booklet. Would totally recommend!

Very nice stay, 🙂 we loved the terrace!!

The place is a rare gem. The photos don’t do it justice. From the large patio you overlook the old centre of Otranto, a bustling quaint historical town. Yet the place is surprisingly quiet and very spacious, and has all the comforts you would want, including air conditioning in every room. We just loved our stay here. Very impressive. Stay at this one!

Highly recommended. Adriano is available, flexible and kind. Your apartment is lovely. Thank you.

We loved staying at Casa Della Controra! We were six friends from different parts of the world staying in Puglia together for few days. After we did the reservation we realized there was only one bathroom but actually it was not an issue for us as we are all good friends, very flexible, accommodating and considerate. The communication with Elena was superb as she was always responsive to any questions we had. Grazie Elena!

Really beautiful apartment in a lovely town. Alessandro and the team were super communicative and friendly. The apartment has everything you could need including things like a parasol and hairdryer which we used nearly every day. It is also really tastefully furnished with loads of antiques. We loved the secret staircase to the roof terrace which was a lovely surprise. We also really liked that the air conditioning is really effective. They provided lots of bottled water which was really nice to have when we arrived. They also gave us lots of good restaurant/bar/beach recommendations which were again really useful. We’d recommend the AirBnb to anyone and we’d like to come again ourselves!

We felt very comfortable, the property is perfect for a quiet and private stay. The host was very, very nice and helpful and always available. It is a great experience to stay in the very beautifully finished trullo and the garden invites you to linger. Here, lemons and figs grow, the scent of herbs is everywhere, and a three-colored lucky cat keeps showing up to ask for a petting. The proximity to the beautiful sea also makes the stay perfect. We will be happy to come back.

The little home is very very special, highly recommend to get back to nature. You have everything you need.

We had a wonderful stay! 100% recomend and would like to go back. The place is large, clean, near a beautiful beach. All you can need is close by. Book, it’s worth it;)

There were two of us staying at the place for six nights and more than satisfied. May is before the season, so we were alone in the entire street. The terrace is a dream, but visible to the neighbors. Because we were alone, this was nothing difficult. We highly recommend the apartment, Fernando was a great host and was always easily accessible and friendly!

We had a super great stay. Everything was as described and we even found some useful groceries. Thanks so much for the great place to stay. We had a good time. The only small downside for me as an allergy sufferer: I don't need so much fabric softener and fragrance in my bed linen/towels. But I always have this problem in Airbnbs. Therefore, a total of 5 points and I would stay longer next time.

The place was all good especially the view to all sides through the big windows. It gives a spacious and free feeling. It had a very nice shower and also the bed was fine!! We'd love to come back here. Léon and Jacqueline

Natacha is a super great host! She answers really quickly and is always there to help. When we arrived she right away sent a lot of great places to go to in and around the village of Alessano and made us feel right at home. If your going to Puglia I really recommend staying here. The airbnb is lovely and has such a great energy to it. The village of Alessano is very chill and all the locals are very friendly. Thank you so much Natacha for everything:)

Alina and her husband are extremely kind and helpful people. The house is well-kept and the location is strategic for reaching the beautiful and wonderful beaches of the surrounding area.

This place is a real gem! We stayed here with our 2 kids for 2 weeks. The apartment and the garden are really spacious. The kids loved it! We loved Otranto and the wider Salento province. We would love to come back one day.
