Inside: the main entrance takes one into an impressive hallway. At the bottom of a few steps, one has three options: straight on, left or right. Straight on leads out into the large courtyard garden. A left turn takes one to a series of well-furnished reception rooms, each of which has its own large glass doors accessing the courtyard garden. Two have large decorative fireplaces, while the last is located in the oldest part of the castle, once home to a chapel.
Back in the hallway and heading right, one comes to a grand dining room, which in turn leads to yet another living area and a TV room. Off the TV room is a guest bathroom and the large, superbly equipped kitchen. Glass doors lead out from the kitchen to into the internal courtyard and the main al fresco dining area. A door from the kitchen takes one into a long corridor, off which is a laundry room and a double bedroom with en-suite shower room. At the end of this corridor is an indoor-outdoor hallway connecting the courtyard garden to the main gardens and the pool area. Also accessed from this hall is the second of the main house's bedrooms, a double with en-suite shower room.
Back in the TV room next to the kitchen, a staircase leads to the first floor and the main sleeping quarters: a twin bedroom with en-suite bathroom with tub , a spacious double bedroom with en-suite bathroom with separate shower and tub, and a master suite with double bed, a walk-in wardrobe, and a voluminous bathroom with separate shower and tub. All three bedrooms look out into the courtyard garden.
The remaining accommodation is located in a charming, beautifully furnished guesthouse in the gardens, just a short walk from the pool and the castle. It comprises a comfortable open-plan living and dining area with kitchenette, and four spacious bedrooms: two doubles and two double-twins, each with its own en-suite shower room.
Outside: Il Castello di Caprarica is blessed with extensive grounds essentially divided into two parts. The first is the large courtyard garden, home to a long shaded loggia equipped with sofas, easy chairs and a dining table overlooking a lawned quad. Most of the ground floor rooms open out onto this area, including the kitchen. To one end a door leads to a hallway, from the other side of which one may access the main gardens. Here there is a wide expanse of lawn, studded with a variety of Mediterranean trees. There is plenty of space for fun and games here, not least in the large pool, which is served by a poolhouse offering a shaded sitting and dining area, a kitchenette, and a changing room with shower and WC. A short walk across the lawns takes one to the guesthouse, which has its own furnished terraces.
Think About
Castello di Caprarica is set in the outskirts of Tricase, about 1km from the lovely old baroque centre. This proximity gives you easy access on foot to cafés, restaurants, shops and other amenities. A little traffic noise is sometimes audible in the gardens, but we don’t find it disturbing.
Tricase hosts a series of summer festivals, which are an excellent opportunity for visitors to join in and be part of the local community. Some are religious in nature, others more profane, but all involve food, fun, music and fireworks. Ask us for specific festival information if this is of interest to you.
