Many of the previous reviews are spot on. Casati House provides fantastic personal attention, is spotlessly clean and gives a unique experience with luxurious ambience. We stayed in the French Suite which was decorative, spacious and comfortable with a balcony with glorious sea views where we read our books. As a special treat we had dinner – the chef prepared a delicious dinner for us where we ate it in the opulent dining room served by the most wonderful attentive James. The food was excellent and finished off with handmade chocolates! Yum yum! Nothing was too much trouble for James – he always looked so unruffled, professional and gorgeous! Loved the music – fantastic to listen to Velvet Underground whilst eating breakfast in the Atruim. We hope to return again – James and Joseph do everything they can to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

This hotel was fantastic, with loads of interesting artifacts: hats, jewelery and tunics, like a small museum. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was superb. I highly recommend it.

Casati house is a unique experience - you should try it once in your life. James is so lovely (he reminds me of a young Dirk Bogarde) and it's like being in a totally different era. The place is full of antiques and words cannot describe it. Everywhere is spotlessly clean. We received an invitation to a 'cocktail floribunda'. It turned out they were having a party with about 70 people all dressed up in period outfit. This was nice, but meant that my husband couldn't get to sleep with the noise. Breakfast was beautiful, what an experience: smoked salmon and champagne served in our room! Casati house has now moved to bigger premises.

Hidden in the quiet streets behind the bustle of Ryde lies an exotic escape in the form of sumptuously furnished Casati House. Our room called The French Quarter was an elegant suit with a balcony offering a great view of the sea. Even though breakfast was delicious and exquisitely executed it was the service and delightful nature of our hosts which made this two night stay feel so special. It didn't matter that there was no tv, the well stocked sound system (I loved almost every track) helped us unwind and relax.
