House / Villa - Vico Equense

Dear guests,
Welcome home and thank you for choosing us!
Here is some useful information :
HOUSE
The control of the external gate is the first button on the left near the front door. There is also another one, on the terrace, next to the entrance door.
The control of the light on the outer scale is located in the kitchen, near the brooms. You can leave this light on during the night but please remember to turn it off during the day.
If you turn on the air conditioner in the living room and simultaneously one or more appliances and heaters or fans the general counter may skip. In this case please exclude one or more devices and restart electricity, using all devices at the minimum level. The general counter is located on the wall behind the iron green door of the kitchen. Our advice is to always use the washing machine and dishwasher at night.
If during your stay the kitchen gas bottle ends, please call immediately Mr Molisso tel. + 39-081-8798338, asking him to take another. You won’t have to pay anything. You only say "UNA BOMBOLA GAS PER NICOLA MIGLIACCIO PRIMA DELLE TERRAZZE VIA SERIO", he’ll understand. That’s all !


Please pay attention to the chairs of the dining table, which are in straw and hand-finished by artisans: for the children there are other chairs that are more suitable for them all over the house.
The BBQ is at guests' disposal. The tools are in the drawer under the kitchen oven. After use, please do not leave dirty tools or grids. When using the barbecue, please pay attention not to grill to the terrace plants!
If it is summer, it is likely that in the evenings there will be mosquitoes. At home, you will find anti-slip stoves
and plates to be used before going to sleep. For the terrace instead, you can use the citronella candles or
the citronella spirals or repellent spray in the skin. They are sold in all shops, including supermarkets.
Please do not leave the gazebo unattended in case of strong wind : they may move and cause damage. Just release the laces that hold the covercloth before you leave.
In Vico Equense there is a hard waste collection and there are severe penalties for those who do not do it well, so please follow the instructions and deposit them in the evening and put the right bags outside the garage. As to safety at home, please note that all the window shutters have can be locked with a key and that the entrance door is armored. Please also do not leave your trash at home before leaving, otherwise we will be obliged to charge you with an extra fee for the final cleaning.
At the end of your holiday, before leaving be sure to:
- Leave the keys on the dining room table.
- close the windows.
- turn off all the lights
- leave the dirty linen folded and in one place only.
Finally, we remind you that the holidays are an opportunity to rest for everybody , therefore we ask you to respect the rules of civil society with your neighbours and to collaborate with them in the use of the common garage, which is intended for three cars of normal size.
WHERE TO GO SHOPPING
In the center of Vico Equense in the same road you’ll find the supermarket CONAD, the fishmonger, the delicatessen, the greengrocer, the winery and other useful shops. At the University of pizza you can buy everything there is on the menu, including delicious vegetable portions to take away. The restaurant has its own underground garage which leads to the upper hall.
Vico Equense is famous for its typical foods: we suggest you not leave before trying the famous fiordilatte , provola and provolone del Monaco by Di Gennaro, cakes and pastries by Andrea e Giovanni and the Gabriele ice creams and its dairy products.
In Vico Equense there are two chemists and a hospital with emergency service and medical service. At the chemists and in the hospital you can ask for some advice, if necessary.
In the centre of Vico Equense there are many ATM where to take cash, which is still used everywhere.
WHERE TO EAT
The University of Pizza, also said the Gigino’s restaurant, is a famous pizzeria which sells pizza by meter. It also provides a take-away and home delivery. Just call, order and ask that Vincenzo delivers the food to Nicola, Via Luigi Serio 45, in the "terrazze". Do not forget to leave him a tip!
In the center of Vico Equense are also other restaurants such as Terra Mia, a Sushi Bar, Il Buco with its inner garden, Tito's, Cerasé, il Barrio with its inner garden..
In Seiano, the next bay to that of Vico Equense, don’t miss a drink at sunset at the small bars of the promenade or have a dinner at the restaurant Mustafa.
In Montechiaro, just after Seiano, you’ll find the restaurant Il Patriarca, with its panoramic position on the Gulf of Naples.
In Sorrento, please try Il Parrocchiano Restaurant, and the Pollio’s ice cream. Two other really good restaurants are Francesco in Schiazzano a fraction on the mountains of Massalubrense and La Torre in Santa Maria Annunziata, still a fraction on the Massalubrense’s mountains. The restaurant Eughnes in Termini, Nonna Rosa in Alberi , Camillo Torre Ferano in Fornacelle, not to mention Maria Grazia on the Nerano’s beach, with its worldwide famous spaghetti with zucchini…
We don’t report the restaurants with Michelin and Gambero Rosso Stars throughout the Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast because they are already very famous (and very expensive for our tastes).

WHERE TO PARK
In Vico Equense there are many paid parking garages. Throughout the center you can park on the street, where the stripes are blue. You pay for it in the appropriate columns and please display the ticket in the car, not out! Free parking is only possible where the stripes are white. To tell you the truth, very few white stripes are available!

EXCURSIONS
The whole coast of Sorrento and Amalfi is full of places to visit and corners to discover: Sorrento, Capri, Nerano, Recommone, the bay of Ieranto, the Path of the Gods, Positano, Amalfi, Vietri sul Mare. Towards Naples there are the Vesuvius, Pompeii, Herculaneum and Naples itself with its castles, museums and the ancient center. Beyond Naples, in the Campi Flegrei with the Solfatara, the Rione Terra di Pozzuoli, the Acropolis of Cuma. A little further away there are the Royal Palace of Caserta, the Temples of Paestum, the Certosa di Padula and the Caves of Pertosa. Many excursions can be organized personally or with a travel agency of your choice, either by car, boat or by walking.

SEA:
The beaches of the Sorrento coast are generally small and almost private. During high season we suggest to avoid going there on Saturdays and Sundays because they are too crowded. Better better to go to museums or archaeological sites! There are some small free beaches, such as the Pezzolo in Seiano, which can also be reached on foot from the central church of Vico Equense via a long stair (you can come back by bus in Seiano), the Turtle Beach down to the Marina di Vico Equense which can be reached by a rented pedalo or canoa . In the center of Vico Equense there is the Hotel Sporting's beach which is accessed via a lift costing 9 euros per person: on the beach, you can choose between are a private lido and a free beach.
For a fee, you will find many well-equipped establishments such as the Stone, the Bikini, the Scraio, the Antico Bagno, the Axidie.
