It's such a shame that awful management and upkeep spoiled what could be a lovely hotel. We checked out early because of all the problems we had and were told we would get a refund. Since then the manager has refused to process a refund and respond to messages. I have never felt so ripped off by a hotel This is in NO way a 4-star hotel, the facilities and condition are barely 3 stars. We booked for a week in September to find that our room, a bungalow suite, was shabby, dirty and needed repair. There was no wifi at all in the room and no mobile reception, so we had to ask especially for a coffee machine which seemed to be a problem. The shower didn't work! What was worse was the staff and management. Staff were having audible arguments over breakfast service, we were made to feel like a nuisance for asking for foods which had run out. The cleaning staff just left bags of dirty laundry from other rooms on our porch. A change of management and a refurb is seriously needed

Amazing gem on a hillside overlooking the sea. Very Italian. Room selection is key to getting the best experience. Simple decor, yet works well. A bit of Amalfi in Puglia.

We had a very enjoyable stay, the hotel is very elegant and the location breathtaking, The (salt water) pool area is particularly nice. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms were spacious and simply decorated, the only downside was that we had a memory foam mattress which we personally don't get on with.

What a shame with a Nice location. The entire hotel was very run down and it was very clear no one had Done anything for many years. The pool area was very dissapointing with the pool not cleaned and the bar looked 30 years old. Rotten Wood and Filthy sunbed linnen. The rooms are really old and beds in poor standard.

The cliff top setting is magical, and the view from the restaurant and public room absolutely stunning. Our stay was made so much better with the help of the very helpful owners who helped book restaurants and trips to places we would not have otherwise found. The Castro Wine festival was a final bonus that made our stay very memorable. Lovely saltwater pool and the best morning swim down a set of steep steps to the sea. Thank you. It will be very hard not to come again. The hotel is spread out and requires some walking, but h LP is there for baggage and The payoff is a healthy appetite and and privacy with individual views of the sea through or over the pines and Cypresses

This is a family run hotel (for 40 years!) with a beautiful chic 60s vintage feel, incredible pool, lovely staff, the most beautiful balcony overlooking the sea (room 81). We loved everything about it, especially climbing down the stone steps to swim in the grotta under the hotel every morning. It’s 10 minutes to Castro harbour and a short walk to Castro square. We loved everything about this hotel and the area, and can’t wait to return.

We spent 3 amazing nights in this “small world”. The staff were welcoming & helpful. We love that it’s still run by the family and made us feel like guests in someone’s home. We had great dinner service. It’s a good place to just relax and enjoy the tranquility of the place. You even get to enjoy private access to the sea with some climbing. The Castro marina is a short drive & you can spend a day there with the locals swimming, sun bathing & enjoying local seafood. We stayed in room 81 with our own balcony with sea view.

The staff were lovely, we had a large family and they helped even my granddad come up and down the steps. The view was incredible, the pool is refreshing and so quiet. The chapel and amphitheatre give the hotel such charm. the room was cleaned every day and the breakfast was sweet and wonderful, minus a few wasps. Would happily come back again. Thanks for a great stay

I spent a week here with my family and we stayed in one of the family rooms - absolutely amazing! The location of the hotel is beautiful and peaceful, it is up in the cliffs and our particular "cabin" was overlooking the sea (it seemed that most of the rooms did). The salt water pool was great and had beautiful sea views, the rooftop restaurant was wonderful and the food was excellent value; we ended up going there several times for dinner, since there was no need to go elsewhere. The staff were all so kind and welcoming, and always willing to go out of their way to help when needed. We borrowed tennis rackets and had a game or two on the tennis courts - despite our questionable skills, the staff who were around cheered for us at the end. All in all, a truly wonderful experience and I am sure we will be back again in the future!

While the place has an amazing staff and the location is very good, it does need a proper renovation because the rooms and especially the bathroom are very outdated. Otherwise, we had a nice stay.

hotel has a spectacular view, but that's all it has the hotel is old and run down was expecting a 5 star hotel but found a 3 star hotel, very disappointing breakfast was very poor and disappointing as well . we travel a lot and this hotel is by far the worst that we have ever booked. we had no safe in our room. We had to carry our belongings everywhere, we advised the front desk and they did nothing about it ,the air conditioning was not working properly.it was just fan air, again were advised and did nothing about it . pool chairs were broken and just patched up and not properly repairs or changed . The outcome of all of this made us leave 1 day earlier. M.V.

Stayed one night and was hoping that the location was near the center and it was not and the hotel itself has beautiful grounds with villa style rooms but they really need some remodeling. Compleleemenarty breakfast was nice and service is good. My 2 complaints are location and condition of the room.

This hotel can be great with a few improvements - although the hotel advertised free wifi, it was non-existent in the room or pool area, only near or in the reception area. There were no additional free power points in the room to recharge mobile devices. Finally, there was little information that was able to be provided about Castro (eg a map of the town) and surrounding towns other than advice from staff, when requested. Notwithstanding these comments, we did enjoy our stay and the area very much.

We had an exceptional stay at the Hotel Piccolo Mondo. The view from the property is exquisite. The access to the sea, pool and tennis court are wonderful. The staff are very kind and helpful. I could have stayed for a month! There were a few maintenance items that could be fixed (a light on our terrace for instance) but this did not detract from our visit. I am still dreaming of the gratis breakfast overlooking the sea.

A nice hotel with fantastic views. We liked walking down the many steps to the sea to swim. The swimming pool and terrace were nice too. The hotel is located on a steep slope so would be impossible for those with mobility problems. Only 5 mins away from the caves. Downsides were steps and some quality issues (threadbare towels, bathrooms could be renovated) etc.
