Yes, free Wi-Fi in the house. The password is in the instructions you receive on arrival.
Can I cook?
Yes: the kitchenette has an induction hob, fridge, crockery and a coffee maker. There is no breakfast service: the house is a non-business holiday rental, with no food service.
Can I bring a pet?
Pets are to be agreed before arrival: mention it in your request and we will answer honestly.
What is the minimum stay?
The minimum stay is 2 nights and the maximum 90, as set by the regional law for holiday homes. For long stays, write to us.
How much does it cost?
For two people rates are on request: write to us with your dates and we reply with the exact amount. The rate depends on the period and the length of stay; the final cleaning and any municipal tourist tax, if due, are stated in the confirmation.
How do I pay?
Nothing is paid on this website: you send a request, the owner confirms the dates and tells you how to pay in the reply. Guests booking on Booking.com or Airbnb pay through the platform.
Can I cancel?
A request from the website is not binding until it is confirmed. The cancellation terms of a confirmed booking are written in the confirmation email; on the platforms the listing’s terms apply.
Do I need ID documents?
Yes. By Italian law (art. 109 TULPS) we record a valid identity document for each guest and report the data to the police through the Alloggiati Web portal. Data is processed as described in the privacy notice.
Can I arrive by train or bus?
Avellino station has no service until 2027. The useful station is Benevento, 24 km away, with regional and Intercity trains; from there you need a rental car or the bus. AIR Campania links Avellino with Naples and Prata with Avellino, on commuter timetables. A car is still recommended.
Where can I shop for food?
The village has a café, a bakery, a pharmacy and local shops a few steps from the house. For a larger supermarket you drive to the neighbouring villages or to Avellino.
Is the house registered?
Yes: it is a holiday home declared to the municipality (SCIA) under Campania Regional Law 17/2001. The national identification code (CIN) and the regional one (CUSR) appear in the footer as soon as they are issued.
