Top apartment #3 of the Castle ~ Sunsets & views high above Lake Travis!

Imaginie yourself in Italy overlooking Lake Como, when in reality, you are still in Texas!
This beautifully decorated 1 bedroom, 1 bath apartment is located at the top of the wine castle at Villa del Sol. The suite has what you want in a romantic, cozy, private getaway for a long weekend or weeks at a time. Relax and toast another day while watching our Texas sun set over the hill country! Part of an Italian style estate, separated from the main house with private entry, the apartment suite is decorated with unique accessories, colorful art and best of all, incredible views of the sunset, hill country and main basin of Lake Travis. Only 19 minutes to Downtown Austin and 1 minute to mouth watering margaritas at The OASIS! The best bedroom view on the lake! Approximately 15 steep brick steps up to the front door.
Owner allows one small to medium size dog. Property has a very small grass area for dogs. Road the property is on is very curvy, not ample for walking.

Castle on Lake Travis

My husband and I really enjoyed staying at this property. The castle is situated perfectly on Lake Travis. The view from the top tower is incredible! And it is right next to Oasis Restaurant if you need a quick bite. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend!

Charm and stunning beauty

The castle is the perfect balance between charm and stunning beauty. Our hosts were friendly and hospitable. The views were absolutely incredible ~ we actually didn’t even leave the residence the entire stay as there was no where else that we wanted to be more than the castle.

Lake Travis stay

The apartment was very clean and nicely furnished. The view of the lake is the selling point for this place. It’s gorgeous sunset views of the lake are worth the stay. Only negative was the internet wasn’t working and the door to the terrace has a bad handle that locked us out.

Lake Travis - views to die for

This is a wonderful property with good sized rooms, nice amenities, and a fantastic view. Very relaxing and just what we were looking for. Just a quick note on entry - my wife has vertigo and the stairs to the apartment were incredibly hard for her to navigate. Other than that we enjoyed every moment of our stay. Highly recommend. Sunsets are spectacular!

Cozy and beautiful

We hate fuzzies so we loved the check in and communication process. The castle was very cozy and beautiful. They have all the necessities there at your disposal. Our timing wasn’t great, it was cloudy and rainy majority of the time. We didn’t do much but it was what we needed, to just relaxed and lazed around. Loved the view from the balcony.

Romantic Eclipse Escape

This place was a great escape to view the eclipse! It had an amazing view of Lake Travis. Not too far (and not too close) from Austin TX. Two things I did not care for were: 1) The listing did list satellite TV but there the only option was Prime Video. 2) None of the windows opened. It was very nice outside but we still had to run the AC inside!
