Castagnola Vacation Packages

Great location...parking overspill could be improved for better and clearer direction

Great location. Excellent breakfast with delicious pastries. Lovely bathroom facilities with strong hot shower.

Clean/ nice breakfast bar and diner

Our view was absolutely stunning, and you won't find a better location! It is steps from the water, steps from a variety of restaurants and shopping, very close to the ferry and train station. We easily parked our car just before Varnazza (they don't allow you to drive in), there is one parking lot that is reasonable and they shuttle you in. Communication with manager is a little challenging. He doesn't respond to email, but will pick up phone and be very pleasant. The directions he gave us to find the place was MUCH more confusing than it needed to be. Walk towards the water after arriving and then the steps are to the left just before the restaurant Il Gambero Rosso, take a right after the stairs. If you see a bar on your left after the stairs you've gone too far. Enter through green door. The room itself is dated, and nothing special, but the location and view, and space in the room all made it worth it to us!

This is not ideal place to stay for me. There are 2 things that I don't like. One is the room is hard to find and I had to carry my luggage walking some upstairs in a narrow street. There is no reception and no communication ahead for how to check in. The good thing is the contact information posted on the door. I contacted the owner who responded quickly.
