Excellent host provided all necessary information beforehand and was willing to answer any questions we had, and find out the answers if he did not know. Very helpful. The location and the property are beautiful and very convenient for shops, restaurants and public transport.

Good I will book it again

Our family had a lovely time staying in this apartment in October 2018. The apartment was well furnished with all of the following provided: laundry detergent, washing up liquid, dishes, cutlery, pots and pans, toilet paper, soap, kitchen towels, bath towels, bedding, etc. We only had to bring ourselves and our beach towels. On our arrival we found that Guido (Apartment owner) had provided a welcome basket with bread, jam, crackers and a bottle of wine on arrival, so that we didn’t have to worry about having to get to the super market straight away. This was incredibly thoughtful and also gave us a taste of some of the local food and drink available. Guido kept in touch with us throughout our whole stay and answered any questions that we had. He even presented us with a lovely selection of local pastries half-way through our stay. We felt like family friends as opposed to paying guests thanks to the kindness and consideration shown by Guido and his assistant Rosaria. The apartment has two mezzanine bedrooms, which are connected via a small window with a wooden shutter, so that we could keep an eye on our kids if we wanted to. The bedrooms do not provide complete privacy which was not a problem for us but could be for others. It took us a while to work out how to operate the hot water in the shower, but as long as you run the water at a lower pressure it is possible for everyone to shower. The grounds of the Guisso Castle were beautiful & romantic. The castle’s facilities were all at our disposal including the graceful reception halls and little chapel. It was not peak season so there were hardly any people around, we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The views from the castle grounds across the bay to Vesuvius were amazing. The Castle has a private beach which is accessed by an elevator and we went swimming several times during our stay. The beach facilities were a little tired but the beach and the views were amazing. There are lots of fish in the water around the break-water and crabs around the rocks which the children really enjoyed. Vico Equense is a lovely town, full of character, not so many tourists. It can be reached from Napoli airport by the Curreri Viaggi Bus. The station in Vico Equense is one of the main stops on the Circumvesuviana train route, trains comes every half hour going to Naples, Pompeii, Herculaneum and Sorrento. We loved food atTito's & famous University of Pizza. Thank you Guido ! Grazi

If you want to stay in a charming apartment with stunning views in authentic Italy this is the place for you. The apartment has everything you need and although you don't have your own private outdoor space, you have use of the beautiful grounds and swimming pool. The porters at the castle gate are very welcoming and helpful. We loved Vico Equense because it is not very touristy so we were surrounded by the lovely Italian people. The castle does hold quite a few weddings which we had not anticipated although we did know it was a wedding venue. We stayed for 7 nights and there were 5 weddings! We rather enjoyed seeing the different weddings and although you can't use the pool after 5.30pm when weddings are taking place you can always go down to the beach. Overall we felt very fortunate to be able to stay in such a beautiful place. Guido, our host, was extremely helpful before and during our visit and left a lovely welcoming pack on our arrival (wine, coffee, biscuits etc). We would highly recommend this property.

We travel a lot as a family of 5 and cannot say enough about our stay here. The apartment is just adorable with an interesting lay out overlooking the sea. It has everything you could need and Guido even left us a Welcome gift consisting of goodies such as wine, juice, milk, bread, crisps, pastries. The castle itself is gorgeous. Loved the pool and taking the lift down to the private beach. Guido was an amazing host. He responds quickly and once he knew our dates, he set up a suggested itinerary. I felt we were able to see the real Italy, not just the heavily touristy areas. Thank you Guido for a fabulous stay!

This property was situated perfectly for our weeks holiday. Inside it really did have everything that a self catering group needed, in terms of equipment, not that we used much of it. Outside was wonderful and would be the ideal summer location with beautiful grounds, a large outdoor pool, terraces, small tucked away play area, parking and a lift down to the private beach. Given that we visited at the end of October it was lovely and quiet.
