I was there last year and there are no cups or cutlery in the room but I'm sure the nice barman ( if he is still there, but ALL the staff are great!) would be happy to loan. There was in my room on top of the mini bar/fridge a bottle top opener (lol). Incidentally we were advised not to drink the tap water whilst we were there. Bottled water is always available at the bar (you have cards for your bar bill and then pay up at the end of the holiday), and for basic basics there is a very small supermarket in the village, literally 5 minutes walk away opposite the church. Nice people with a very small amount of English. Sure they would have bottled milk there.

The TV's in the room didn't have English channels last year, but CNN was available in the bar area. There was also a very small amount of paperback books which I suppose you could borrow near the reception. I left mine there when I left!

I went right at the beginning of May and took insect repellent with me, but didn't need it as it was rather cool at the beginning of the holiday. Quite a lot of vegetation in the hotel corridors. You will see!

Apologies for butting in but hope this helps! I was SO tempted to return to Cilento this year I enjoyed the holiday so much.

Hello Bondensbabe,

So glad to hear you loved the Cilentro Coast... I love it as well, not yet "too touristic"... of course, as you say, not everyone speaks a lot of english... It's another "corner" of Italy that has yet to be discovered by many... I live in northern Italy - every region is so different.

Many thanks for your input - I believe JY readers really appreciate feedback from other JY travellers!

Yes, the staff at the hotel are all lovely, as is the hotel. In short, I'm really looking forward to leading these holidays this year.

Thanks again for writing - this is what makes the JY Community Board so useful - real input from folks that have been there!

All the best to you and I hope you have a great time where ever your travels take you.

Kind regards,
Lisa
