As regular visitors to South Africa, this is our favourite destination to start the holiday: The tranquil setting with its stunning vistas immediately demands you relax and breathe in the wonderful healing nature of the venue. The proprietors, Nan and Patrick, are the perfect hosts achieving a great balance between attention and discretion: Their attention to detail is first class.... More

Nan and Patrick run this beautiful B&B in a delightful way. They are very welcoming and friendly, yet leave you to enjoy the privacy you want. The rooms are stunning. We had the cheapest room which was still wonderfully equipped and spacious although, if it's a view you're after, it may be worth paying a bit more to see the... More

What a special place with a simply stunning view and friendly, efficient staff. We spent the first four days of our honeymoon in the Sole Suite and it was everything and more than it was described. Spacious and comfortable with excellent amenities. The breakfasts were amazing and cooked fresh with the most personal touch from Nan. A fews minutes drive... More

If you look a this the exclusive B&B/Hotel, as a banal B&B you are gong to find it expensive. But it's not banal, it overlooks the Knysna lagoon, perched un a hill top ridge, between oacean and lagoon. You are first welcomed by a big friendly dog, and then by the managers Nan and Patrick (qui est francophone, du coté... More

We spent 5 nights at Villa Castollini and loved every minute of it. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with fabulous bathrooms and great amenities. The staff are warm and friendly, and Nan runs the place with the kind of friendly efficiency most B&Bs only dream of. And the breakfasts were simply superb: extremely generous, beautifully cooked and set us... More

Lets start with the positives. Wonderful views, very nice pool, good sized room and good bathroom. Interesting town. We have returned from 3 weeks in South Africa. The hotels were all either very good or excellent and the food throughout superb. We were recommended this hotel by a South African friend who stops there. The cost was R 1500 for... More

I am truly sorry that you had a disappointing experience at the Villa. However, I must confess to be a bit confused. With regards the breakfast, the review just prior to yours was written by a guest having the same breakfast as yours that morning. Perhaps you could have sent it back and asked for it to be redone if... More

We fell in love with this accomodation 3 years ago and we were even more impressed this time around, The views from the villa must rank as some of the best in the world, the front-facing rooms...

Villa Castollini is a breath taking wedding venue and holiday spot. We attended a wedding there which was phenominal. The view is one of the best we have ever seen and the staff are friendly, helpful and on the ball at all times. We love the venue so much that we have booked our wedding there for next year. An...
