Thank you Lee for your beautiful review! I’m so pleased you enjoyed La Bella La Casetta and your stay in the mountains. Love to have you back again.
Very comfortable and well fitted out home to stay in in a great Location
The home was warm and welcoming with more than everything you need to feel special and well looked after. Comfortable beds and everything felt new and luxurious. Would love to stay here again. Amazing Cliff walk only a short stroll from the property. Shops an easy 10 minute walk away.Thank you

Thank you Julz for your lovely review. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure to have you.
Such a stunningly practical luxurious home. Close to the magnificent mountains, restaurants like Arrana, markets and local shops useful if you are cooks. Toasty warm in Winter and perfect for that night sky viewing. Carol's attention to detail and hospitality makes this the ideal stay. You will even get design ideas and furnishing for your own place.

Lovely warm words Geraldine thank you. I love to hear my guests enjoyed themselves and the cottage.
Very cosy stay. Warm inside, cold and wet outside. A lovely house. Just need some clear instructions for the washing machine. It defeated me

Hi Diane, I’m glad you were warm and cosy and it was a pity you had cold wet weather as there is so much to see in the Blue Mountains when weather permits. I’ll certainly check on the washing machine instructions to make them clearer. Thank you for your kind review.
This is a fantastic property which was well designed when it was built and is well equipped. The kitchen is excellent and is easy to use - something that is not common from our experience. The bathroom was also excellent and well layout. The property is an easy walk to Leura and the walk that starts at Leura Cascades. Even the garden surrounding the property is superbly maintained! We would highly recommend a stay at Carol's property.

Thank you Chris for your very kind review. It gives me great pleasure to hear you enjoyed your stay at La Casetta. It is a special little cottage!. Thank you again, it was lovely to have you both.
Kind regards Carol
We stayed in Carols place for the weekend as we had runners in the 100km UTA and I think it’s safe to say all four of us never wanted to leave. If we could have lifted it up and brought it home with us we would have!!! Every single part of this house was immaculate and there were so many nice little touches that made the stay so amazing. We will be sure to recommend this house to everyone we know! Thanks again Carol 🥰

Chantelle, thank you so much for your very warm kind words about your stay at ‘La Casetta’, it was a pleasure having you to stay and you are welcome anytime. I do hope those runner’s muscles are feeling more rested after their incredible 100km run.
We had a wonderful time at La Casetta. Cosy gas fireplace to keep you warm all through the cottage with beautiful bush scenery and treetop views from the front verandah. 5 minutes to Village of Leura. Also great communication with the owner. Definitely will be back 🙂

Thank you Ashley, glad you enjoyed your stay and that cosy fire kept you warm during those misty mountain days you experienced during your stay.
Carol's beautifully-appointed cottage ticked all our boxes for a family Xmas in the mountains... extremely comfortable, quiet and within a short stroll of interesting shops, cafes and spectacular cliff-top views. Despite being in COVID lock-down on Sydney's northern beaches, Carol couldn't have been more helpful. Our two adult sons also gave La Casetta top marks for its savvy AV facilities.

About the host
Hosted by Carol Re
I am married to Joe and we have 3 sons and 6 grandchildren. We are retired so enjoy to travel especially to Italy as I have a passion for learning the language and skiing in the Dolomite mountains. I love the culture, it’s history and certainly the food and wine. Hokaaido in Japan is another country I love to ski with its incredible powder snow, gracious people and delicious food. Gardening is something I get a great deal of pleasure from and in the Blue Mountains beautiful gardens can be created with such a variety of plants and trees because of the colder climate.
Why they chose this property
I have owned this block of land which ‘La Casetta’ now sits, for several years, so finally in 2020 the house was built by a local builder who has done a superb job. It sits quite comfortably amongst the other Blue Mountains cottages. I've enjoyed furnishing and decorating the cottage and although everything is brand new it has a nice cosy feel. La Casetta means ‘little cottage’ in Italian. The beautifully landscaped gardens are flourishing and growing rapidly. It is our wonderful home away from home, being close to our grandchildren and to enjoy all the Blue Mountains has to offer.
What makes this property unique
The Blue Mountains are World Heritage and there is so much to see and do. 1km to Leura Mall with its shops, cafes, restaurants and galleries. Walking distance to bush walks, amazing views and waterfalls. Winter time in front of the gas fire with possibly a snow fall is pretty special.
