Ristorante Piccolo Mondo In Castro

We had the pleasure to stay here in September 2024 and it was stunning! The views are expansive and absolutely beautiful. The pool is a great place to relax for the day perched high on the cliff overlooking the blue sea with a drink in my hand. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had anything we needed and were comfortable during our stay. We even brushed up on our Italian and learned some new words from them. We were treated like family. The food was simple yet delicious and the breakfast spread was the perfect way to start each day with homebaked goods and the most perfect eggs! The view from the dining room can't be beat either. Blue sea and sky as far as one can see! If you are coming to Castro and want to stay at a cute family run place with the most amazing views and friendly staff, this is the place to stay. I look forward to returning here one day. A special shout out to Alessandra who assisted me with a package that needed to be shipped to me in the US. She went above and beyond to make sure it was packaged securely and shipped off to me.

The meals were good and plentiful, excellent value for money, the owners were very helpful and sociable, the only flaw was the welcome buffet, although it was quite generous there was no space to get close because it was too crowded, the DJ was very engaging and good

Quiet and romantic place, very kind manager and staff. I recommend it.

Arriving at Piccolo Mondo feels like stepping into the home of lifelong, affluent friends, who have opened their doors to offer their loved ones a sanctuary of rest and relaxation in beautiful surroundings. We spent six nights in the Double Deluxe Seaview Room, with a balcony jutting right onto the sea below, and where we spotted dolphins on several occasions! The room is very private and quiet, perfect for a restful night’s sleep. The property and rooms are elegantly decorated, with curated and simple amenities. It’s no-frills, shabby-chic elegance, rather than the gaudy opulence of many large luxury resorts. Especially noteworthy was the service. Alessandra, who owns the hotel, Maria and Gemma were always available to provide fantastic recommendations and guidance on sightseeing and dining options across the region; and they would take care of our more mundane requests, like a late breakfast or an aperitivo by the pool, promptly and always with a smile. You will need comfortable footwear to explore the grounds and descend the 190+ steps to the sea - this all adds to the uniqueness and charm of the property, and we plan to return again next season.
