House at the castle pool and beach

My wife and I stayed at our castle by the sea for a week this past September. Our stay was wonderful, our host Guido was very accomodating and communicated with us very quickly when we had a question. The castle was very rustic and had amazing views! Our suite had everything you need for a weeks stay, including a very nice welcome basket of goodies when we arrived! Grazie mille again Guido !! The castle is centrally located and is walking distance to the local bus, train stations, local shops and restaurants. It's a quick 15 mins train ride to Sorrento and was only 2 euros each (one way). We rode along with a bunch of kids going to school to the neighboring towns one morning, it was kinda cool. We would definitely stay there again our next time were in that part of Italy, highly recommended!!

Beautiful property and location in a castle! Nice apartment and convenient to train or bus. Our host, Guido provided lots of information and some goodies for our stay. Wonderful!

We had a wonderful family stay at Castello Guisso! The apartment had everything we needed (except maybe an extra key) for our 5 night stay. It was warm, so some of us used the pool, and the garden and castle grounds are nice, with a lovely view. There was one evening outdoor event on a Saturday night and the music is quite loud. We enjoyed the music and enjoyed watching the guests, so it did not bother us at all. But if you have toddlers who go to bed early or are concerned about open staircases inside the apartment this might not be the place for you. For us it was perfect.We also loved Vico Equense, and it is easy and convenient to take the local train to Sorrento, Pompeii, or Herculaneum. Be aware that the trains are very crowded so might be difficult with luggage, and you might have to stand. But works great to get around. Vico Equense has some nice restaurants and way fewer tourists than Sorrento, Positano, etc. I highly recommend!

The location is unique. Vico Equense is not only lovely but close to Naples and the wonderful Amalfi coast. The appartment is cozy.WiFi is kind of spotty but should be easy to fix.Guido sent us a lot of informations and made us feel welcome to his place.Thank you !

This historic castle is a must see. Right in the middle of so many sites and activities. Our host Guido was over the top helpful right from booking to location details, restaurants and sites. Can’t say enough good things about our stay. In its most recent incarnation I believe this castle was an army barracks, so prepare for a quick shower as the hot water gets a little strained if more than two people. Thank you Guido for your generous hospitality.

This was a once in a lifetime stay- who gets to say they stayed in a castle in Italy? We originally were looking at Sorrento and I’m so glad Guido’s castle apartment caught our attention because Vico Equense is a much more enjoyable place to stay! It’s a lovely little town with an astounding view, so close to Capri and Pompeii and has public transportation that will take you right there. Vico Equense has some lovely bakeries, gelato, pizza, and a gorgeous lemon grove you can eat dinner in. The castle is spacious and comfortable and provided ample space for our family of 5 with three adults and two teenagers to be able to have some space from each other during our downtimes. There is an amazing outdoor space to relax in and view the ocean below.

We have had a fabulous stay at the castle! The apartment is furnished in style and has everything a family needs. The kitchen is very well equipped, including cups for limoncello. We enjoyed the swimming pool, the orchard of lemons and a fantastic view from a terrace. The private beach is second to none! Guido is an excellent host, quickly responding to any questions and providing recommendations.

First up air conditioning did not work as soon as you turned it on it tripped the power. Contacted owner said he would send someone around to look at it. Never came. Shower was full of black mould disgraceful . Wifi dropped out constantly. Three out of the four nights weddings were on. The music so loud we had to leave the apartment. Noise on the first wedding went till three in the morning ridiculous. Beds were in very poor condition we had no sleep. Such a shame as it is in a lovely location.

The property is very well localized -- in a quiet area of Vico, inside a pretty big castle. We've had everything we needed and even a bit more than expected. Communication with property manager was great :)

Our host Guido went above and beyond communicating with us the weeks before our stay. Gave us so much great information. The best, most beautiful grounds, pool, and the views were as gorgeous as any we viewed from capri, ischia, Sorrento. The town is completely walkable from the castle, outstanding restaurants. Easy walk to trains (local trains are crowded, especially with luggage, but even us “seniors” managed very easily. Hope to return! Oh, and a shout out to Rosario,for promptly helping us out when needed!
