What guests say
Guests consistently praise the friendliness and helpfulness of the hosts, who are attentive to guests' needs. The property is noted for being very clean and well-maintained. Breakfast is plentiful and often tailored to dietary needs. The location is convenient for visiting Castro, the Zinzulusa cave, and exploring the Salento area, although walking to the marina involves a somewhat steep route. Rooms are spacious, comfortable, and equipped with essential amenities, in a quiet setting with scenic views. Good value for money and convenient parking nearby.

Great place for a beach vacation. Nearby is the famous Grotta Zinzulusa (15 minutes walk towards Santa Cesarea), the port of Castro with panoramic parking and bus stop - 15 minutes walk to the south. Directly above the house (5 minutes uphill), there is the center of Castro, the upper town with squares, cafes, restaurants, viewpoint, and Aragonese castle. The owners are very kind and help with everything. Well connected place with other historical cities thanks to the bus transport operating in summer for tourists. Good and abundant breakfast. Very clean structure, also very quiet. It is a good place to relax, go to the beach, and visit Salento.

The host was very kind. She asked us every day which croissant we wanted for the next day. Every morning she asked if we needed something. They helped us figure out how we could take public transportation. On the last morning, we had to walk with our luggage to the nearest bus stop, and she immediately helped us get there in an easier way. We had a very nice stay.

Well-managed structure, comfortable beds and everything working. Good location to reach Castro and Castro Marina. The managers are very kind and helpful, attentive to every request. We had a problem with the bathroom, they immediately allowed us to use another one temporarily and the fault was repaired on the same day. Highly recommended!

The property is situated between the old town and the sea, the old town is just five minutes' walk, and it is also possible to walk to the beach and take a shuttle back. A shuttle is advisable as the property is uphill. My room was spacious, spotless, the furniture was not the most modern, but it had everything I needed. Breakfast was ok, fresh croissants and coffee plus the usual jam, cookies, and snacks. Communication with the host was excellent, Sabina was very nice to me and the other guests. Good value for money, I would definitely go again.

Castro is a town reachable from the side street of B&B L'Aurora. Castro Marina is reachable by car, a bit tiring on foot due to the ups and downs. Zinzulusa is 300 meters away and can be reached on foot. The breakfast is plentiful, and Mrs. Sabina is available for any requests regarding intolerances or allergies. Even though the location is not right by the sea, on the other hand, you can sleep peacefully at night even without air conditioning. The sea view is still present. In any case, Castro is a gem. We will definitely return, but only to B&B L'Aurora.

We stayed at this property in July 2019 and had a great time. The property is a stone's throw from the Zinzulusa cave and a stone's throw from the historic center, Castro Marina is three minutes away by car, maybe even less.
The owners are very kind and hospitable, ready to meet every need.
We will definitely come back.

We stayed a week at B&B L'Aurora and had a great time. Perfect location: in 200 meters on foot you can reach the center of Castro, a little more for the marina, Grotta di Zinzulusa at 600 meters. Also very good for reaching other locations in Salento (Santa Cesarea Terme, Marina Serra, Otranto, etc). Mrs. Giusy and her family are very friendly, welcoming and attentive in asking us about our breakfast preferences. Spacious and very clean rooms with a fridge and air conditioning.

The B&B is in a very convenient location to reach the Grotta della Zinzulusa and Castro Paese on foot. In 5 minutes by car you can reach Castro Marina. The rooms are very spacious and clean, with a bathroom in each room and a personal fridge. Each room has an exit to the entrance veranda! The breakfast is prepared in a very elegant way at tables reserved for each room. Mrs. Giusi was very helpful, also showing us the main attractions of the area.\n\nI recommend it!
