Calm and beautiful

We had a very nice stay in Giusso castle. The appartement was nice and functional, lots of space for only two persons. We were disapointed with the elevator being closed for our entire stay and private access to the sea was not possible. It’s an information that we wished we knew prior to our stay. The rest was just perfect !

Great stay in an surprising place on Naples bay

We are a family of 4 with two young teenagers (11 and 13). Giusso Castel has been a really nice stay. At the time we were there, the place was still under remodeling and you may come across construction workers in the courtyard. This generates some minor inconveniences (our water has been cut off for few hours). But this is quickly forgotten when you start cruising in this surprisingly very open huge castle. The ground floor has beautiful large room with painted ceiling in open access. The view from the castle garden and the swimming pool over Naples bay is simply amazing and at this period of the year, we were almost alone. The apartment itself is spacious and convenient for our family. And there is always someone for help in case of problem. The small town of Vico is at 5 min walking distance and is quite charming. For food, we suggest the Pizza a metro (Pizza by the meter), very good super size pizza made in front of you in a very family atmosphere. This seems to be a popular place among locals. If you like real hot chocolate (very THICK), don't miss the Bar Toto, 50 meters from the Pizza a metro. Nice food and nice people.

Leuke ervaring om in een kasteel te overnachten

Mooi appartement, alles aanwezig. We zijn welkom geheten door Rosario en zij heeft ons het appartement laten zien en waar het zwembad en de lift naar het strand zijn. Enigste nadeel is dat er een rookplek onder het appartement is, wij roken zelf niet.

Spectacular!

Stunning location with view from castle over Naples Bay to Vesuvius. Castle grounds immaculate and swimming pool delightful. Dramatic lift descent to private beach. Apartment very well equipped and aesthetically pleasing. Safe parking and good security. Usually v. quiet - except when weddings held

Very nice apartment, much nicer than advertised!

The apartment is very spacious and well furnished. It is very clean and has everything we needed. I feel that I must write the review because when I was booking I read some dated reviews and had some apprehension. But now I’d like to let people who are interested to know not to worry about those issues. There is plenty of hot water. The internet is strong. The picture of the bathroom doesn’t do it justice. The real thing is much nicer. There is a good wash machine, very clean. Airing facility is good as well. During our stay, 8 to 15 September, the air conditioning was out of order. But we didn’t suffer from it. There are fans. I think also the high ceilings help. We were very satisfied with the apartment and wish we had the time to stay another week. We were busy seeing sights. It seems just hanging out in the apartment/castle can be very nice. Both the pool and the beach are great. I definitely recommend this apartment. It was also a great pleasure to meet Maria Lidia. Now I mention the restaurants. Pizzeria Al Buco is a traditional Italian restaurant with very reasonable prices and tasty food. Pizzeria Franco is also good. As it is a deli, the toppings are of a high quality. If you go down the alley way out of the castle and carry on till the end, you’ll find a very up market restaurant called Di Soile e Luna. It offers very artistically arranged food which also taste good. Great service and setting as well. Best of all, it isn’t expensive. One restaurant let us down was Buenos Aires. First we were told all the lower priced wines were not available. We had the large mix grill, which on the menu was priced 50 Euro. But when the bill came, it was 60 Euro. We did check with the waiter. He then produced a menu which indicated 60 Euro, but only by a sticker. My husband peeled it off and of course on the print it is 50. We said to them “If you want to rip us off, we’ll let you have the money just to end this unpleasant experience.” So we paid and walked out. Next we knew the waiter was chasing us. He was almost in tears. He said “I don’t want you to think that I am a bad person. I had to do what the inside tells me.” Sad!

A wonderful place - we just didn't want to leave

We spent a wonderful week at this lovely apartment. We were looking for beautiful surroundings, great facilities without the bland impersonal features of 5* hotels, a non touristy location and a place to relax. This was perfect! It was just as we expected from the photographs with plenty of space for a family of 4, we felt very 'at home' here. The castle is delightful in a beautiful setting with peaceful gardens, a super pool area and a lovely beach. Very clean and well maintained. Food from the bar and beach was so inexpensive and fresh that there was no need to self cater at all. Despite our limited Italian and few English speakers in Vico we felt very welcome at the castle and in the restaurants and cafes. We could not fault the assistance we received from the owner and the concierge at the castle. We would highly recommend this property and look forward to visiting again ourselves. The location is perfect for visiting Naples, Sorrento, Pompeii, Vesuvius, Herculaneum. The train station is a very short walk away with a regular inexpensive service. If you do hire a car go small - the narrow road to the castle is very narrow! Our only disappointment is that we booked to stay for just one week. We could very easily have spent 2 or 3 weeks here enjoying the tranquility of the castle, the friendly little town and the many nearby visitor attractions. A marvellous place.

Appartement dans le chateau de vico equenso

Séjour très agréable dans cet appartement. Très bien disposé pour 4 ou 5 personnes, et très propre et confortable. Nous avons de plus apprécié le jardin avec jeux pour les enfants, la possibilité de se garer à l'intérieur du chateau, la vue magnifique sur la baie de Naples depuis le jardin et multiples terrasses. Le gardien est très aimable. Cet appartement est idéalement situé pour visiter Naples et sa région : Naples, Pompéi, le vésuve, la côte amalfitaine, Capri..... De plus la gare desservant Naples, pompei et Sorrente est à dix minutes à pieds de la maison, les commerces de proximité sont également accessibles à pieds....Bref tout est réuni pour un séjour très agréable. Je recommande.

Cozy apartment in a castle with private beach!

My wife and I spent 10 days in this beautiful castel, in September 2014. The apartment is exactly the same as it appears from the pictures, so you get exsctly what you see. While not brand new, the apartment is practical and cozy and can easily accommodate 4/5 people (2 in the master bedroom and 2/3 upstairs). The owner of the apartment is very responsive. The strength of this arrangement is absolutely the context where the apartment is located: a beautiful and charming castel with nice gardens, pool and a private beach, which is a great deal for the residents of the castel considering how busy and pricey beaches of Sorrento coast are. Additionally, it's worth mentioning the charming common areas of the castel like the movies room orl the library. Overall this was an amazing experience and I would dedinitely recommend to anyone else.

Un château en mars

Nous avons passé un séjour exceptionnel à Vico. L'appartement est ensoleillé, agréable et confortable. Nous avions le château pour nous seul en cette période de l'année. Prendre le café dans le jardin ou sur une terrasse du château surplombant la mer est un expérience extraordinaire. La vue est à couper le souffle. Les gens du village sont accueillants et tous les commerces nécessaires sont accessibles à pied. Les concierges sont disponibles et avenants.

Castello Guiso fin octobre

Excellent séjour. Vico Equense est très bien placé pour visiter la région. En rentrant le soir, pas de problème de parking ni de bruit, et prendre un verre sur la grande terrasse à coté de la piscine donnant sur la baie de Naples... ben c'est la vie de château ! L'appartement avec sa mezzanine est propre fonctionnel et décoré avec goût, le fait d'avoir 2 salles d'eau permet de ne pas trainer le matin. Le concierge est aimable, serviable et accueillant. Les parties communes sont propres, ce qui n'est pas fréquent en Campagnie. Je recommande cette location.

Séjour au Castello Guisso à Vico Equense

"Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en famille dans ce sympathique appartement situé dans un magnifique Château, le Castelo Guisso, à Vito Equense, petite village pittoresque et très vivant. Le château est situé sur un promontoire, qui surplombe la mer et duquel on a une très belle vue sur tout le Golfe de Naples. Il est doté d''un magnifique et grand jardin avec piscine (acceessibe encore début octobre, mais dont l''eau est fraîche à cette saison). Il est acessible par de petites rues en auto et à pied (descendre environ 80 mètres une petite ruelle à droite, justeavant un virage à angle droit donnant sur la gauche situé juste après une pizzeria, puis tourner à droite pour accéder après environ 100 mettre devant la porte d''entrée massive du château). L''appartement est très agréable et convient très bien pour une famille de 4 personnes. La cusinette mérite son nom, mais est fonctionnel. Même s''il y a beaucoup de circulation dans la région, la situation est idéale pour rayonner en auto ou en transports publics dans le Golfe de Naples (Naples, Pompéi, Herculanum, Vésuve, Caserte), mais loin de l''agitation de cette ville et de ses faubourgs, mais aussi visiter la Côte amalfitaine, Sorrente et l''île de Capri ainsi que les temples de Paestum un peu plus au Sud. L''accueil au château par les concierges dans la loge d''entrée est excellent. La remise des clés s''est faite sans problème. Bref, on ne peut que recommander cette adresse. Christophe G.(famille de Suisse, 2 adultes et 2 enfants de 7 et 10 ans)"

Castello Guisso

Particulièrement bien situé dans Vico Equense à l'extérieur de la route principale. Permet l'accès rapide à tous les sites importants de la région de Napoli et de la côte Amalfitaine. L'appartement pour quatre adultes et un enfant est très confortable et bien équipé (pour des français qui ont l'habitude de remplir un bol de café lors de leur petit déjeuner, merci de mettre à disposition une "grande" cafetière). Spacieux et très lumineux, les volumes sont particulièrement bien exploités,la décoration de très bon goût! Nous avons apprécié le calme du lieu à cette époque de l'année.L'accès à la piscine et à la plage privées ainsi qu'un superbe jardin ont été apprécié. L'accès privé au site et la qualité de l'accueil des personnels de la loge sont un plus à signaler. Notons également que le fait de pouvoir stationner sans problème sur le parking du site est un plus apprécié dans une région où cela n'est pas évident............Résidence en tout point remarquable qu'on ne peu que recommander!

Die Fotos der Außenanlage...

Die Fotos der Außenanlagen und des fantastischen Blicks entsprechen der Realität.Das Apartment war wie beschrieben ausgestattet. Insgesamt ist das Apartment größer als auf den Fotos dargestellt, auf der Empore gibt es zusätzlich noch eine geräumige Nische mit einem weiteren Einzelbett, sodass oben zwei Personen sehr gut schlafen können. Die Anlage ist insgesamt sehr ruhig und sicher, tagsüber gibt es einen Pförtner, nachts hat man nur mit Schlüssel Zugang. Lediglich bei den Außenanlagen stand vorsaisonbedingt noch nicht alles wie beschrieben zur Verfügung (z.B. Tischtennisplatte). Die Lage des Apartments ist für Ausflüge und Besichtigungstouren ideal. Vom nahegelegenen Bahnhof (ca. 5 Minuten Fußweg) hat man mit dem Zug halbstündige Anbindungen nach Neapel (ca. 1h Fahrzeit), Pompeji (ca. 20 Minuten), Herkulaneum (ca. 40 Minuten) und Sorrent (10 Minuten). Die Vermieterin war sehr freundlich und bemüht, die Schlüsselübergabe war gut organisiert.
