We have just returned from a very relaxing and enjoyable week at Carpe Diem, our only regret being that we did not book 2 weeks! It's a great place to stay if you are looking for a laid back, easy going holiday. The views from the terrace across the village to the sea and hills beyond are wonderful, with the extra benefit of the sunsets each evening. At the end of the terrace is a bird table where we put bread and fruit and we were rewarded with visits by many varied and colourful birds. The local chickens clean up any crumbs dropped by the birds!
The studio where we stayed is well equipped, with hot showers and safe drinking water. If you want to cook, there is everything necessary in the kitchen, but there are several places to eat in Castara too. We recommend the BBQ at the Naturalist and the pizzas at Marguarite's (need to book for these the day before).
The owners Chris and Yvonne made us very welcome, they are helpful and concerned to make your stay successful.
Castara is a safe place to visit, the sandy beach is very pretty, backed by palm trees and always busy with fishermen.
We had a great meal at the King's Bay Cafe, high up in a dramatic spot overlooking the bay, south of Charlotville. Fresh fish with a tasty home made sauce, home made bread and brownies to die for! Very reasonable prices too.
