Italian Holiday Accommodation – Casa Piccola Katie

ORIENTATION

Piazza Pinto is the main piazza in Pisciotta. Your taxi or bus will drop you here.  If you are driving you can unload your luggage here.  Pisciotta is a medieval village and there is no car access in the historical centre.  There are stairs and cool narrow pathways throughout the village – connecting the tiers of housing, the church, the castle, the different bars and restaurants.

Your keys and directions to the house will be coordinated at the time of your booking confirmation. From Piazza Pinto it takes less than 5 minutes walking (once you know your way) to get to Casa Piccola Katie.

I urge you to contact Luigi Gatto, owner of a local Travel and Tours Agency in nearby Palinuro – Cilento Viaggie, Via Acqua dell’Olmo, 248, 84051 Palinuro.  Telephone +39 0974 931362 or email info@cilentoviaggi.com for travel information and bookings.

You can only access the house by foot and some stairs.

There is only pedestrian access throughout the historical centre of the village.

Having to walk everywhere means automatically that you are living differently to how we live at home.  There is no need to have a car to visit Pisciotta but that said it is nice to have one to explore the beautiful surrounding beaches, wineries and restaurants.  Increasingly cyclists are visiting this area of Campania.

House Rules

It is a privilege to live in the historical centre of such an untouched village as Pisciotta. Other than in Ferragosto when there are many visitors in the village, the streets are extremely quiet. You never hear a television, other people’s music, raised voices or even children crying. We ask our guests to respect this tranquility and choose to come, partake and share in this wonderful experience. Please do not disturb our neighbours. This is their home.

Other Things to Note

Rubbish collection and recycling is taken extremely seriously throughout Italy and especially in Pisciotta. Information about this is detailed in your guest information package. Failure to comply will mean that your rubbish will not be collected, the cats may get into bags incorrectly sorted and left out and you will be entirely at the mercy of the local signore! Good luck with that!

food, hills and beaches were all fabulous.
