    Had my wedding at Villa Castollini and stayed there for a couple of nights. I fell in love with the place and will definitely return in the future. You will find the most beautiful views over Knysna from your room and balcony. Carin's warm and friendly hospitality is highly regarded. All the staff members are very friendly, helpful and professional. I can definitely recommend Villa Castollini to those who find joy in the finer things in life.

    The view cannot outweigh the terrible service we received. Food was beyond mediocre (ice cold and terribly small portions). Co-ordinator admitted to forgetting to order the dessert. The food is a huge problem and put a big damper on my sister’s wedding.

    Very friendly staff and the absolutely amazing view over the town of Knysna, lagoon and mountains made me feel on top of the world. Great location as it is 6 minutes away from the breathtaking Brenton On Sea beach, and 15 minutes drive to the town centre. They also have mobile therapists that can offer any beauty treatments in the comfort of your own luxurious room. Oh and the freshly baked chocolate cake is definitely a must try, it is worth every single calorie. πŸ˜‰

    Villa Castollini hosted an intimate private matric farewell for our daughter. It was an magical night. The staff were friendly, the hospitality warm and the attention to detail meticulous. Dinner was delicious and the portions generous. The home made Turkish Delight icecream highly recommended. Thank you, Caren and Staff for helping to make the end of our daughters school career a memorable occasion. I would highly recommend Villa Castollini for a special event.

    Lovely venue, unfortunately the food service is not very good. Waited for 30+ minutes for a cup of coffee more than 2hours for breakfast.

    We had a very warm welcome to "The Paradise" at Villa Castollini and didn't regret anything during our stay :-). The rooms are big, clean and comfy. The owner and Liesl made our stay a great one! You also can enjoy a spectecular view over Knysna while relaxing on the huge terrace. Because of all the activities you can do around Knysna and due to this wonderful hotel it is definitely worth to stay more than one night!

    Attended a conference at Villa Castollini. Great venue, comfortable seating (tables and chairs), good projection picture size and quality, good sound system. Staff are polite, helpful and professional. Food served is tasty and plentiful. Safe parking and great views over the lagoon. Wheelchair friendly.
