"My husband's mother's last name, we came to hunt down potential family tree members. Such a lovely building in a quaint seaside town with a handful of restaurants and a pebbly beach full of local families. The Castello is on the cliff, with gorgeous views of the Italian Riviera in all directions. Easy walk down to town and along the coast. The building itself retains a lot of the original charm and details but with modcons of AC, hot water etc. Such a delightful stay, with the added bonus that we saw signs of Canevaros all over the town."

"The location and ambient gave us the most unique experience ,you feel like you have stepped into a different world of peace and beauty. Stunning views from 3 sides of the sea and the 4th is gorgeous gardens that's maintained to perfection! Every single step leads you to a a different way of space made
for leisure and enjoyment. Our room was spotlessly clean, with a cozy adorable atmosphere and a great bed that gives you such a great rest. Everything you can need is thoughtfully put, functional and reachable. But the most important part of it were the owners who were so kind to go out of their way to help
when I wasn't feeling well and behaved like caring friends. They allowed us to have our special moments and enjoy the day without
interruption so we felt like the whole place is only for us which is something that I appreciated a lot. Of all the places I have been
lately this one is my top choice in the whole experience!"
