Fly Catcher Castle

What a breathtaking place to stay and experience! The architecture, decor, antiques and gardens are to be seen to be believed! A real step back in time, with such attention to detail. And Eduardo & Willem are the consummate hosts, so wonderful & welcoming! What a glorious experience, I will be back!!

What a gem !. Art, history, antiques, gardens, period accommodation, just delightful wow moments everywhere..., and Hosts that go the extra mile to make your stay totally tailored to best suit your preferences. Totally and happily recommend.

The reception and guided tours fantastic and so was the breakfast. Omelet out of this world..The place is in need of attention and a lot of small things like leaking drain plugs,( bathroom Verdi) and something to keep the cupboard doors closed.

Such an interesting place to stay. Our hosts were amazing in every way and seemed to enjoy the experience as much as we all did. They gave an entertaining historical tour and made the delicious food with attention to detail down to even the special way the eggs are prepared in an omelette. The castle is situated next to a wild life preserve that protects a miniature chameleon that sometimes ventures onto the property. We were lucky to experience horrible cold, rainy, and foggy weather which made the courtyard magical. The weather cleared on the second day which offered fantastic views. Everything used to build the castle is old and has meaning which adds to the flair…Wi-Fi is available but unplugging let’s you soak it in…particularly in the unique hot tub which offers a bit of an anatomy lesson. Enjoy the natural wood fire and a kings table for dinner then head up to the roof for some starry skies.

Flycatcher Castle is OTT and must be appreciated for this. The hosts, Willem and Edoardo could not have been better. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Breakfasts were cooked to what we wanted. They also did dinner one night which was excellent with each of us having something different. We were a group of 5 with young adult children. The Ruby Room is an experience with the private pool, mirrored ceiling, circular room and other surprises. The accommodation is very good, not 5* but perfect and very clean. A great place to spend a couple of nights in the area with a pleasant garden too. We Embraced it for what it is and enjoyed the hospitality.

WOW, WOW, WOW! It is hard to put into words just how special this place is. We were travelling a on safaris for 3 week and we stayed one night for a break between safaris and we will be back. There were 9 of us and our hosts Edward and William were wonderful. They made us feel at home from the moment we arrived, I could not speak highly enough.
