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!

This place is fantastic. Elise is very friendly and helpful, the property is beautiful, and the view from the balcony is likely one of the best in the state of Texas. Can not recommend this place enough.

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.

Breath Taking View

Such a fun different property. Set high with a breathtaking view of Lake Travis. It is a little castle, a fun property that has the feel of castle, but the bed is so comfy. Elise, property manager kept the lines of communication open and took care of all our needs. This was our second stay on the property and we will repeat🙃😊

This apartment is exactly as described. Private and peaceful setting. The views are breathtaking. The bed was very comfortable with a lot of bedding and pillow. options.

A nice stay with a great view

If you are familiar with the view from The Oasis restaurant and love the sunsets, imagine seeing them every day! The apartment is next door to the Oasis, but not so close that the noise is a problem. Unfortunately, the water level at Lake Travis was low during our stay. But the view and the sunsets were still great. The apartment was good and Elise was great to work with. We'll probably choose the middle apartment for our next stay as the stairs were a bit much for our older legs. We loved it and we'll be back,

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!
