Casa Augusto B&B

Hi Everyone! So. I have to say the hotel Casa Augusto is highly overrated here on Expedia. Let's start with the good stuff: The surrounding garden is really beautiful and although the outdoor shower is maintained poorly it was fun and nice to take a cooling shower after a day at the beach. The view from the garden onto the sea and the surroundings is also very beautiful and relaxing. The cleaning lady is super friendly and lovely. The family room on the ground level is good and practical, not perfect, but quite alright... infrastructure okay, the bath okay (and it has all you need), also nice that you get two separate sleeping areas. That is it. The closets smelled weird, like mould and everything, again, is not that well maintained. The breakfast, which is highlighted in most of the reviews is actually a catastrophe. Not that it does not taste well. It does. But is just sweets and desert. A lot of it (sugared yoghurts, only marmalade and Nutella, just two eggs for four heads and only sweet bread and vanilla pudding / Nutella filled croissants) and nothing else, except for the eggs, nothing savoury. Seemingly that is tradition, but come on... cultural differences aside and I get it, continental breakfasts are rare in that area, but that is not a breakfast, it is a desert platter. Only, when we bought savoury stuff from the grocery store (which is close luckily), they started serving some salami and some Italian cheese. Coffee refill is sporadic and they do not really ask.

Ocean view, botanical garden, and breakfast provided daily

Good location as a base for touring where you can cater for yourself. Not so good for a one night stop with no back-up supplies.

We loved staying with Augusto he gave us the low down on all the sights and good eats on Caprì. The house is a short walk to marina piccola as well as to the bus stop on via Roma and the downtown area. The beds were comfortable and the setting is beautiful.

Augusto was a great host. I would absolutely stay here again! Great location too!
