Corte Paganini Casa Vacanze

Stunning location, the drive up there was an adventure in itself, but so much worth it! Francesca, the owner, was so friendly and took all the time needed to give us recommendations and explain all the different options to see as much as possible. The apartment was beyond expectations, so beautiful! And the surroundings were so peaceful, we almost didn't want to leave!

Nothing. Wifi was sometimes a challenge, but who needs wifi in such a beautiful environment?

The location is beautiful, in the middle of nature, with the sound of crickets and a fantastic view. The accommodation, simple and modest, is extremely tasteful and very comfortable. It feels like we are living in a small village. As for Francesca, I can't praise her enough, she couldn't be more friendly, available and helpful.

Beautiful italian villa, you get the authentic experience without sacrificing the amenities. The apartment kitchen came equipped with pretty much everything we needed to make ourselves breakfast and light dinner. The host Francesca is a wonderful person, you really feel like a welcomed guest (she even gave us rides from/to the hotel twice while we still didn’t have a car)

Because of the thick walls, the wifi doesn’t reach all corners of the apartment, but this wasn’t really a problem for us

Casté is an old medieval village located in the mountain, right behind the Cinque Terre. Francesca made sure our stay was as comfortable as possible, taking the time at check in to help us out planning our trip. she has lots of recommendations and tips to avoid tourist traps and make the best out of your stay over there. Francesca also welcomed us with a basket of snacks, olive oil and breakfast stuff which was super nice and helpful for late check in. The apartment was around 35m2, which was fine with a small dog. You don't spend much time inside anyway. It's fully equipped and had a balcony with a stunning view over the mountain. The outside courtyard is super nice and you can enjoy the sun until pretty late in the evening. All guests are greeting each other as it's a small place, which is also nice to meet other fellow travellers. There are many hiking path starting straight from the village to reach cinque terre.
