Beach house vacation rentals in Castro Marina

We greatly loved our stay! The house is right on a beautiful beach, perfect for a relaxing holiday. Our host was incredibly welcoming and surprised us with fresh fruit from his own country, a great touch! We felt right at home. Highly recommended for those who want to enjoy the beach, peace and warm hospitality.

We spent 2 weeks in the shark of Francesco by the sea with two grandmas. The location is really fantastic. The sea starts right outside the terrace. A small mini sand beach is 7 meters away, a smaller bay about 20 meters and a slightly larger bay 50 - 100 meters. The more extensive sandy beaches in the north can be reached by car in about 5-10 minutes, in the south in about 20 minutes. We spent two weeks here in April and enjoyed the tranquility. At that time of the year, there was not so much activity but some restaurants were already open. As well as the small supermarket in the village. The house is divided into two units with the courtyard as a meeting point or "chill area". The grill is practical and all technical equipment worked perfectly. The amenities are also extensive but not overboarding. We lacked nothing. As a welcome, Francesco (the first guests of the season) has basic amenities (oil, salt, sugar, coffee, wine) Everything is great

We had a great time!! Stefania was very nice to give us tips for the area, to communicate for check-in and to greet us on our departure. Fantastic location right on the beach and a small marina. We were there at the beginning of the summer season, so it was super quiet but with a nice bar open next door where you can have a coffee or a drink. I'd love to go back!

Francesco and his wife and children were so helpful with suggestions of restaurants and places to go and visit. The unit was exactly as described and met all of my needs and expectations. I will definitely be going back!

One of our best stays yet! Great friendly and prompt communication. Spotless presentation of this fully refurbished villa. Wonderfully equiped and laid out. Well appointed kitchen with easy to use appliances. The rooftop pool and entertainment area are great when not at one of the numerous beaches or for having dinner at night. Highly recommend this villa!

The house has a great location. Pietro is very reliable and helpful and available at any time. The house has a few restrictions regarding water odors and aging garden furniture. But it is really furnished with a lot of love for detail and the terrace and the small beach right in front of the house and the beautiful sunsets are fantastic. Thank you Pietro for your hospitality.

Truly felt at home and comfortable, she’s a keeper host. Will be back again.

We loved our stay at this beautiful house, Mario and Annalise were terrific and so helpful. We will be back again to visit as soon as we can!

The property was beautiful, too bad it was only a few days but everything was perfect. Giulia was super helpful and the location was perfect, quiet and if I had to go back we will definitely go back there.

Great villa. Modern styling, open plan with plenty of space for family party of 10. Lovely house in a peaceful location but close enough to walk to nearby town. Very helpful and responsive hosts. Highly recommended.

Thank you Paolo for a great stay, for the directions on activities in the area and for the availability. The house's location is beautiful, close to everything but with the right privacy and tranquility. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

We felt completely comfortable. Rosanna welcomed us warmly and gave us useful tips. The house is in a beautiful unobstructed location... you could take a creative break here for a longer period of time! The rooms and decor are very tastefully designed. The pool is truly a dream. Nice water! In the kitchen it has everything you need. It is important to have a car, as a good Supermercato is already a 10-minute drive away. The beaches are very nice and the water clean and beautiful! Puglia is very pleasant to travel in autumn. It doesn't have everything open anymore, but it has a lot fewer people!

We had a wonderful week at Villa Palibella. The villa has exceeded our expectations, especially thanks to the beautiful pool and the care of the property. The entire area is lovely and perfectly maintained. Another highlight is the impeccable cleanliness, which made us feel comfortable from the start.

We (7 people) had a great stay at Sara's place. The villa is very tastefully decorated, with everything you need. Each room has its own ensuite bathroom. The spacious covered veranda gives plenty of shade in the sun or makes it possible to be outdoors even in light rain. The infinity saltwater pool with ocean views and the outdoor kitchen with gas and charcoal grill are a real highlight. Also the rooftop terrace with sea view, which we used for yoga sessions. The location is super quiet in a villa district. Villa has a fantastic tuff stone garden. Santa Maria de Leuca is within walking distance. There are smaller shops and a few bars/restaurants. However, some things were closed during our travel time (mid-October). Weekly markets, larger supermarkets and restaurants in the neighboring towns between 5-8km. Sara and Sergio (contact person on site) were always available and super helpful. Clear recommendation. THANK YOU ❤️

Wonderful stay in a very peaceful location. Enea was very prompt with communication and met us at the property. A lovely couple who greeted us with kindness. We were even left some local bakeries 😋 The villa itself is perfect, with lots to see and do around. We particularly liked being able to walk or cycle to the beach and also the nearby town of Gallipoli. Thanks again for having us!

A lovely villa in a quiet location. 5 minutes drive away from restaurants and shops. The villa is a little rustic internally and lacks some home comforts. The outside area is stunning with lovely sea views. We had a restful stay and would recommend the accommodation.

We cannot say enough about Federico. He was extremely helpful and attentive to our every need. He even printed our ballots for us so that we could vote! I highly recommend Federico as a host.

Great location, easy to walk around. Alessio is very responsive and Davide that met us for the keys is very friendly and very helpful with lots of local tips. Thank you for welcoming us in beautiful Castro Marina. Carol and Sokol

The small apartment is really fantastically located. The upstream road hardly bothered us, as the view of the sea and the dune landscape - both in stormy-rainy weather and in sunshine - is simply fantastic. We liked to take the slightly longer walk to restaurants and shopping (about 20-30 minutes on foot) as an opportunity for extensive morning walks by the sea and through the (seasonal) still somewhat sleepy streets of Torre di San Giovanni, which is characterized by vacation, weekend and summer houses. Overall, a great starting point for excursions throughout Salento. As already described several times, the apartment with the small kitchen is excellently equipped, we did not miss anything here at all. Communication with Emanuela and her parents is exemplary. We could not try out all the restaurant tips, but when we asked, we had helpful and targeted answers after 30 minutes at the latest! Thanks for the unforgettable days!!!

Everything went very well. Simone was always very responsive and the place was simply breathtaking. Very recommended!

Looking for a quiet place to return to after being on the beach (and you know that in Salento in summer the sea is besieged), a small house but with everything you need for a comfortable stay, with a garden, sunbeds, hot shower also outside, patio where you can eat? Do you like having a "base" from which you can easily reach some of the most beautiful cities in Salento and also the many small and unexpected towns scattered in the countryside? Well, then you have to come to Casa Assunta because it will offer you all this, combined with the kindness of Tania who managed not to get irritated even when we tried to remedy our carelessness (we were locked out of the house). In short, what more can I say? That in Salento you are well and that there is a lot to discover, as well as a splendid sea that is at its best out of season.

The descriptions and pictures are very accurate. The apartment is easy to find if you don’t use google maps directions/navigation. The most direct route is to follow the “lungomare”, turn at AMU restaurant, and proceed to number 10. The apartment is on several floors, without an elevator. There are 65 steps from the street to the rooftop terrazzo and kitchen. Each bedroom is on a separate stop along the stairs below the kitchen floor. The apartment is the best equipped of any apartment in which we’ve stayed over a period of 12 years. Francoise is very helpful and responsive. She provided a great deal of local info and recommendations. Also, she can arrange for a parking garage; street parking is non-existent.

Dajana is one of the best hosts we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. She is extremely responsive, genuinely friendly, and truly cares about the well-being of her guests. The accommodation is exactly as shown in the photos—clean, comfortable, and recently refurbished. The room is well-equipped with nearly everything you might need for a pleasant stay. Highly recommended!

Giuseppina is a great hostess! The place is lovingly decorated and very clean. The kitchen utensils are sparse, but it has everything to cook a pasta, for example. The views are breathtaking. In the morning, you can have breakfast on the protected seating area in the morning sun, in the evening enjoy the sunset on the balcony for an aperitif. We were there in early October and had approx. 25 degrees. So, perfect. Grazie per tutto!
