About the host

Ciao, welcome to my VRBO page. I have owned this beautiful IL Casale apartment in the Capo Vaticano area since 2009 and I love it. It's my 'Happy Place'. I think the photographs say it all. A wonderful Italian retreat with nearby stunning beaches, lovely people and fantastic Italian food. Please email me if you have any questions/queries on jillstinson2@googlemail.com. I hope you choose to stay at IL Casale soon - you won't be disappointed. Jill
What makes this property unique
Il Casale is a peaceful tranquil retreat with pool and magnificent sea views , yet within easy travel to local beaches and train service to Lamezia Terme.
