Cava de Tirreni was beautiful city with friendly people and we enjoyed being so close to Amalfi. Transportation was a bit of a challenge as we had no car
We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment. It was very spacious, clean, and equipped with anything we needed. It was close to shops, coffee bars, restaurants, and grocery stores. It was also a good location for sightseeing and activities in and around the Amalfi coast. The host, Riccardo, was excellent. The communication with him was easy and he was very helpful with any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again, and would recommend it to others
Ideal loaction to explore Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast
This is a great location from where to explore the Amalfi Coast, away from the busy tourist areas.
It is clean and well equiped. It is on the 2nd floor, but there is a lift available.
There is a bus stop virtually outside the property and a train station only a few minutes walk. A supermaket is only a short walk away. It is easy to get to the beach by bus to Vietri or Salerno.
Riccardo is so helpful, a dream owner; always a phone call away. He lives on the first floor, and nothing is too much trouble.
Will recommend it to anyone who wishes to explore the region. Thank you Riccardo. Thomas, Doreen and family.
Lovely apartment in the center of wonderful restaurants and shopping. Our host Ricarrdo had everything we needed and easy instructions. Beautiful mountian town, I wish we had more time to explore. Thanks from Texas
We had a great time! The apartment is very spacious, comfortable, and nicely decorated. The host welcomed us warmly and responded to our questions promptly. We immediately had a feeling of entering a historical palace. Checkin and checkout were easy. Great location: in the city centre, but also a short walk away from beautiful hiking trails.
Excellent location for us. We are regular European travelers who have been renting homes since 1999. Only a few hundred meters from the train station provides easy access from Napoli to Salerno. Very simple to day trip out to the Amalfi coast or go to the Salerno ferry to Capri. Riccardo was extremely helpful.
We had a wonderful stay at Cava. Riccardo was fantastic with any question or problem that we had. He was very prompt with his replies and came down to our unit to help on a number of occasions. The location was good for buses and trains. Bus stop was about 50m away and train station was about 400m from apartment. The unit was very spacious, clean and well equipped and was a nice place to return to after a day of sightseeing.
We stayed at Riccardo's place and it was nothing short of awesome! The location is close to the train station, shops, and center of town. The large 3 bedroom 3 bathroom apartment is spacious and immaculate. The views from the apartment are stunning! Riccardo was very helpful at giving us recommendations for local restaurants and responded to our needs quickly. I will be back! Thank you Riccardo for a great experience!
Beautiful modern apartment. Lots of room for our family with three bedrooms and three baths. Elevator. Modern amenities. Nice town with lots of charm. Arcaded main street with lots of restaurants and bars. Very few tourists. Great for trips to Amalfi Coast, Pompeii and Paestum. Riccardo was great host.
My family and I stayed at the apartment for 4 nights. I wish we had more time. The apartment was perfect and clean and even better than the pictures. The town of Cava was a wonderful surprise. Much different that your typical tourist trap town. Strolling the streets during the evening, eating a great dinner, followed by a drink at one of the local bars was truly enjoyable. It was also a great place to use for day trips to Amalfi, Pompeii, and Sorrento.
Riccardo was an excellent host and answered any questions we had very quickly! The property is clean and spacious and a great starting point for day trips out to the Amalfi Coast. There is a wonderful coffee shop right at the corner for coffees and breakfast pastries if you don't want to make your own. The washer/dryer is challenging for anyone not used to European styles but it was manageable. I'd say my only complaint was that the beds are extremely firm but then this is all personal preference because two of the 6 of us loved them! I'd definitely recommend this property!
The apartment was large, clean and very modern. Cava dei Tirreni was great location to visit the Amalfi coast and Pompeii. The train station is just down the street. We took the 15 minute train to Salerno then the ferry to Amalfi. We then took the bus back. On Saturday night the town was busy with lots of local people socializing and enjoying their children. No cars were allowed downtown which is an easy walk from the apartment. We found a great bakery which was open late into the evening. The host was available if needed.
I've been using VBRO for over 20 years to travel all over the world. I am familiar with the reservation process, liaising with owners prior to arrival, and most importantly getting what you pay for.
To anyone who is considering renting this property please be advised; the images are not an accurate representation of the apartment. It is not as bright as it appears, the sofa's were wrapped in raggedy blankets and the apartment looks like a run down version of what's posted. The posting says "RESTORATION" - the building is old and run down down, plain and simple. I entered a vestibule with graffiti and to my dismay ashtrays on hallway sills. Although, I was told smoking is only allowed in the hallways, it is inevitable that it permeates the apartments in the building and IT DID. The posting also did not state that this is a smoking building which clearly should be stated under property description.
WHY is this such a problem? I paid to stay in a place that was unlivable for me as I am severely asthmatic. Had I Had this information, I would have booked elsewhere. I spent no more that 10 minutes in this dingy apartment before calling the owner to inform him that I would not be staying. I did not travel all the way from New York to spend a week in physical discomfort. I asked for a portion of the money back who wouldn't if you didn't even stay an hour???? When I expressed how I felt about the apartment the owner became belligerent, and began personally insulting me asking me what kind of Italian am I. If I could post a pic of the WhatsApp exchange, you will think twice before booking here. I contacted VRBO to resolve this but they were of no help.
Also FYI - Sorrento was an hour way and $130 cab ride., where I ultimately booked a hotel. This place is not the gateway to the Amalfi coast by any means. I've been home for over a week and have debated on leaving this review as I do not wish to interfere with anyone's livelihood, however, this owner has a severe lack of integrity in not returning even a portion of the cost of the stay.. To add insult to injury I was offered tours at a discounted rate. So, my money just went down the drain and then he turned around and asked for more?
I don't know what he's doing/offering to guests to get these glowing reviews but this place is far from glowing.
BUYER BEWARE.
Wir waren zu fĂŒnft in dieser sehr schönen Unterkunft. Alles hat reibungslos geklappt und der Vermieter war sehr gastfreundlich und hat bei allem unterstĂŒtzt. Optimaler Ausgangspunkt fĂŒr AmalfikĂŒste, Pompeii und Neapel. 100% Weiterempfehlung
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Wohnung ist sauber und jedes Schlafzimmer hat sein eigenes Bad, was uns wahnsinnig gut gefallen hat. Die KĂŒche ist bestens ausgestattet und der groĂe KĂŒhlschrank mit EiswĂŒrfelfunktion fĂŒr die Kinder der Hit. Jedes Schlafzimmer und das Wohzimmer sind mit einer Klimaanlage ausgestattet. Riccardo ist ein sensibler und sehr hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Er half uns ein Problem zu lösen und tauschte umgehend einen defekten Duschkopf. Es gibt die Möglichkeit fĂŒr 15 ⏠am Tag eine sichere Tiefgarage zu Mieten. Alles in Allem sehr zu empfehlen fĂŒr Familien und Gruppen die mobil sind um ans Meer zu kommen. (ca. 20 - 30 Minuten). Die wunderschöne Altstadt liegt jedoch direkt vor der TĂŒr.
Wir waren nur ein paar NĂ€chte, aber der Ort hat eine grosse gepflegte Altstadt in der auch einiges los ist, d.h. viele Restaurants und Bars zur Auswahl in nur 100m Entfernung von der Wohnung. Ausserdem gibt es einen gesicherten , grossen Parkplatz. Sehr praktisch in Italien wenn man mit grossem Auto unterwegs ist.. Der Verwalter ist sehr nett mit Tips und immer verfĂŒgbar fĂŒr alle unsere Anliegen. TOP. Wohnung war gerĂ€umig und sehr sauber. Klimaanlage hat perfekt funktioniert.
We loved our stay! Especially enjoyed the quaint town of Cava de Tirreni which was easily within walking distance. So many places to sit & enjoy a glass of wine, a cocktail & of course gelato!!
Riccardo was a fantastic host always available to answer questions or make restaurant recommendations. Definitely would recommend!!
Thanks again Riccardo đźđčđđźđč
We had a great stay at this property. There were four of us and there was loads of room for us all, with plenty of room if any of us wanted some privacy. Great bathroom facilities (two bedrooms were en suite) and a lovely hot shower. Everything lovely and clean and well maintained and well equipped for self catering if we wanted. Lots of great restaurants within a short walking distance into the old town with the lovely porticos. Ricardo, the owner was wonderful and couldnât do enough for us. We need ed a few more towels, a larger kettle, a few sharp knives âŠ. Ricardo brought these for us very quickly. We would definitely love to stay here again! The railway station is about 15 minutes walk away and only an hour on the train to Naples one way,and about 20 minutes the other way. Very secure parking facilities. About 45 minutes in the car from Naples airport. We highly recommend this property!
Riccardo was an excellent host. He explained clearly how to use equipment, the location of restaurants, shopping etc. He responded to all our texts promptly.
The apartment is on the 3rd floor of an old building, and we were very pleased to find it had an efficient lift. The large apartment is all newly renovated and comfortable with 3 large bedrooms with 3 bathrooms (2 ensuite).
Close to train station and very close to the main arcaded street.
I highly recommend this apartment to anyone going to the charming town of Cava de Tirreni.
Loved the beautifully appointed large Apt. Had everything we needed. Restaurants,Grocery stores, shopping, Train Station 15 min. walk. All very doable by foot.
