Unique Rustic Gem
Escaping the masses and the hustle and bustle of Cinque Terre, this mountain haven was a rare experience. Nestled high on the side of a mountain, with outstanding views to the valley, this community of 1400’s buildings has old world charm and much appreciated serenity and natural beauty. Our one bedroom apartment had all the modern conveniences (refrigerator, stove, Internet, washroom and small t.v.) Although there was no a/c., the apartment stayed cool with a single fan assisted by the foot thick stone walls. Francesca, the hostess, was more than generous with her time, assisting us in our planning of the Cinque Terre. A bottle of local wine as well as some pastries and other small treats, greeted us upon our arrival. The Locanda, a restaurant in the next cluster of buildings served daily fresh homemade dinners that have been the best during our trip through Italy. This place offers a somewhat rustic, yet unique experience we were lucky enough to have been able to enjoy so thoroughly.

Rustic charm
What a wonderful time away from it all. So remote and unique. Don't expect the usual stay. It is rustic and remote. Perfect for a bit away from the hustle and bussel of the costal tourist filled areas. Our host was wonderful and warm. Getting to train and the town was easy.

Exceptional - A little piece of paradise
I cannot recommend this place enough - we really did not want to leave. Our hosts Francesca & her family are lovely, very helpful and informative. Caste is a beautiful & very peaceful. Perfect for walking & you can take a trail walk to Cinque Terre. A bottle of local wine along with cakes, tea, cofffee & milk is there for your arrival. We really hope to return some day. WiFi signal is also good. There is a small restaurant in Caste which is recommended, it has a small set menu (3 courses 15euro - excluding wine & dessert (June 2019))

Peaceful escape!
Really beautiful views from the terrace at this rural idyll away from the crazy crowds of Cinqueterre. The lady who runs it (I'm afraid I've forgotten her name) was charming and very helpful. Lovely trails nearby, including a 2 hour one all the way to Riomaggore... which unfortunately we couldn't attempt as we have small kids but I was itching to try! Very nice, simple local restaurant a stones throw away with a nice terrace for 8pm dinner sitting - they were happy to prepare a veggie meal for us and it was delicious both times we went. Oh, and a very friendly and talkative cat that the kids loved...The appartment itself was basic but nice, with a sweet little kitchen with everything we needed to make a full meal for ourselves one evening.

Extraordinary location
This was the most amazing stay of our vacation. The location is like a place out of a fairytale! Our host Francesca was fantastic, even rescuing us when our car was towed away. She gave great information to guide our stay and plan a trip to Cinques Terre. I can't say enough about Corte Paganini. A must stay!

Great old building in the mountain
The property is in a 1400-year old small village of made of stone houses in the mountain above Chinque Terre. We felt really great there. The owner was very friendly.

It's a lovely place on the mountain. Our room was neat and clean. Kitchen was good too. The manager was very kind and helpful. She provided us with pick-ups from the train station and gave us very helpful information about where to go with lots of maps and pictures. You can feel her passion and genuine love for the place. I loved staying this place.

Perfect!
This rustic converted barn was the perfect choice for our holiday. Our host Francesca was lovely! A bottle of local wine was waiting for us when we arrived. The views were spectacular and we loved our little balcony and the courtyard where we enjoyed a glass of wine each evening. The wifi only works in the courtyard, but who cares whe you are on holiday! Put your electronics away and enjoy life!!!

Not a hotel. This is an renovated apartment.
This apartment high in the mountains in Caste,Italy was unique. Pros: scenery, character, solitude, and the host, Francesca ..... Cons: wifi ( had to sit by an open window to get decent reception ) , parking (limited), proximity to anything ( can also be a plus), We found the indoor lighting to be very dim. The radiator heat had been turned off and sometimes the apt. felt damp and cold; a few minutes of heat could have improved the comfort level greatly. We enjoyed our stay so much that we could overlook any of these shortcomings.

Charming position and view
Though the road and parking were both intimidating, this rustic and charming position was not too far from la spezia. The villas are very basic and a bit cold in October with heating central and weak, and turned on at request. We were wlcomed warmly and Carlo and Francesca were very helpful. They introduced us to the nearby estuarine which is in e middl of nowhere but has splendid dishes. We found the bed hard and the pillows too lean. Lighting inside is a bit dim. There is TV noise from nearby at night until quite late. The view from the courtyard is lovely though. Probably a 2.5-3 star accomodation.

Nice...but buyer beware!
This was a really cool place, though not too easy to get to unless you have a car! You should be aware that there is no air conditioning and no fans, so if you're staying in this hotel in the heat of the summer (we were there in late July 2015)- you will be uncomfortable. Also, they have small concerts in the courtyard on some nights, so if you want peace and quiet after traveling, check the web site before booking to be sure this isn't happening on your nights. We went through a 2 hour sound check, a hour plus reading from a novel in Italian, which we didn't understand, and then another hour of the songs that we listened do during the aforementioned soundcheck - during this time, we had to be quiet - no TV or music or anything or we would've interrupted this "show." They finished up at nearly midnight, and it wasn't a great night's sleep to have to leave the next morning. Francesca is very ni9ce, but she doesn't speak English very well, so it was hard to communicate. You also have to hang out the window to get internet - especially if there's a concert in the common area that you can't interrupt!! Great view though - just VERY HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With car, a perfect location for Cinque Terre
This is a perfect stay if you have a car. About 15 minutes up in the mountains from La Spezia. Wonderful view, calm and relaxing. Even though this is a very small village they have a restaurant worth a visit. I would say that this is a really good location if you want to hike or visit the cities of Cinque Terre. There is trains from La Spezia all the time. Thats the cheap option (think it was like 8 euros for a day pass) and then there are the boats wich is a little more expensive (28€ for a day pass). Dont worry about parking in La Spezia. There is a free touristparking with walking distans to the harbor or the trainstation. There are also free busses from this parking to city center every 20 minutes or so. If you want to hike to the nearest city of Cinque Terre from the house its about 1h 40 min.

Spirit of tradition in best way
This place is gorgeous!!! The house in which the apartments are was restored to fully reflect the spirit of time when it was built. And still, the accommodation is fully equipped. The owners are very good hosts and you will get all the information you need. Since the accommodation is located in small village near La Spezia, you'll need a car to get to La Spezia. During our stay the owners offer the ride to La Spezia and back for the travelers who didn`t come by car. All compliment for this accommodation!

Rural getaway
Breathtaking views, hospitable hosts, and authentic stay. Corte Paganini is a must stay if you are traveling by car. I was not. Cab fare from the nearest train station is 40€ and the closest market to Corte Paganini is a 3km stroll. However, Francesca, our host, was so kind and caring! She drove my friends and I to the market and upon departure all the way to the train station. She made us feel more than welcome. She made us feel at home, as did the rest of the residents in Caste! On a side note: if you're with musicians the locals will love ya, Cheers!

Place like a fairytale with a 10+ host
The place was like from a fairytail. Really beautiful and the host Francesca was superb. She knew all the best restaurants and places to go. The apartments is nicely renovated and really really clean. Francesca has her own parking which has loads of space also. We highly recommend staying with Francesca while staying in La Spezia area.
