Lovely week in peaceful rural setting
Our extended family of 8 spent a lovely week here in July 2022. The setting is peaceful and quiet, surrounded by woods and with wonderful views across the valley.
The accommodation is clean and spacious, although quite rustic in nature. The kitchen is small but well-equipped, and we took advantage of the barbeque (but not the pizza oven!), eating outside each night. The bedroom information on the website was a bit confusing, but there turned out to be 4 doubles (one with an extra single and one with an en-suite bathroom), a twin and a small single. We decided against the air conditioning, but the week was particularly warm and humid so this probably was not the best choice! Everyone enjoyed both the pool and the pool table.
We struggled to find any supermarkets locally which were open on Sunday (having arrived Saturday night), but the Pugliese Market in Quaglietta was great, and we shopped there several times. We also recommend the Ristorante Silarus in the old part of the village.
Within 10 minutes drive from the house you reach the main road network. We used the house as a base for visiting various sites, but found the travel times longer than the website suggested (Paestum 1 hour, Pompeii / Herculaneum / Vesuvius 1.5 hours) although all were absolutely worth the drive.
All in all a superb week and very many happy memories!
