I found this little gem at the last minute and when I pulled up, I was so pleasantly surprised. It looks like something out of Italy has a Tuscany feel to it but had lots of character and when I went inside it was even more beautiful. Beautiful views from the swimming pool and amazing staff that made my stay very enjoyable. If I ever go back to South Africa, I would definitely stay there again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2741F270810C82D68C7C73AB6368A29A3346BEAB1743076719248.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9168D917FDCFF33AE2908B5CC0F219493DED52341743076743419.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/575DE6E9BFE9D54628CA1114181A9D9475CE76741743076730079.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3A134976B06CBFEDA64480BF73E1AE3BF2AA57231743076739148.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Naznin Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vania Nov 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Easy check in, the staff is very helpful and friendly. Great breakfast. Stunning views, the place is kept clean at a high standard. Well run by the manager. We had some amazing food, the chef was creative and we loved what he created for us even though the restaurant wasn't officially open yet. We will definitely return. I can highly recommend staying at Villa castollini. ##### Vania Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorne Mar 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The view ##### Lorne Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caren Feb 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property on a hill over looking Kisha. Hostess very helpful and recommended things to do and good restaurants. Only complaint would be allowing smoking in the bar room. Would have used it more if not so smelly. ##### Caren Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin Mar 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A hidden gem. We had a wonderful stay. The owner and staff were so welcoming and friendly. The whole ambiance of the property was comfortable, relaxing and secure, and the view over the Knysna river and lagoon from the patio was fantastic. The breakfast was very good quality, and in fact our whole stay was incredibly good value. We only stayed one night as we were moving on to an Airbnb previously booked, however wished we had found this sooner as we would have loved to have stayed longer, it was so good. ##### Kevin Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Britney Mar 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Far exceeded expectations This may have been one of my favourite places that I’ve ever stayed. Where to start! We received a very warm welcome from the staff when we arrived (much later than planned). The property is beautiful, set above the lake just a short drive outside of Knysna. Our room had a huge balcony with a view overlooking the lake. It is such a relaxing and scenic setting that it was difficult to find the motivation to leave during the days! From the amazing breakfast, self service bar, and wonderful staff, this is such a lovely spot to stay. ##### Britney Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Nov 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful, Affordable, but with Limitations Extraordinary and spectacular classical Italianate structures atop the highest hill in Knysna. Quiet, peaceful, and the photo of the beautiful sunset was taken from the property. Our room was like a honeymoon suite, complete with four poster bed and private terrace with fabulous view. But it's a quirky, albeit charming property, and furnishings, flooring, and the breakfast buffet could all use an update. Francoise is a sweet, caring manager, but there is no staff after 8pm and a well-stocked honor bar is it. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/474095AB369740F09B7D6CAD73F6FAE36E4849231730580050630.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7129509A22F6E6A6D0AAAD9369DF6E56C064CE0E1730580050687.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4D511153CD0791E982DEEC2AEE08F53FCB83E5071730580420502.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Robert Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Jul 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property in a spectacular location.
