B&B D'AMICO

“Great location, Good friendly host - Ideal for 1 or 2 nights - Longer if they rectify a few things”

B&B D'AMICO sits in a good central spot in Cava, with everything within walking distance and the train station also easy to reach for trips to Pompeii, Vesuvius, Salerno, Amalfi, and more. Massimo, the host, is very friendly and communicates well; if you need to contact him on WhatsApp he replies promptly. Italian‑style breakfast (coffee and croissant‑style pastries) is served across the street at a typical local coffee bar where the staff are also friendly and welcoming. The kitchen at B&B D'AMICO is fairly well equipped with a pod coffee machine, but a tea kettle would have been a good addition since not all visitors drink coffee (we Brits like our tea), so we had to boil water in a saucepan, which is not ideal and can be dangerous when pouring into a cup. I think if Massimo was asked he would have bought and provided one because he wants to keep guests happy. Be aware that the kitchen and dining table are shared with occupants of the other rental room, so keep that in mind; we were lucky because the other room was not occupied for most of our stay. It’s not a problem if you like to socialise and don’t mind sharing kitchen facilities like the fridge and cooker/hob. Massimo supplies a starter lot of coffee pods and still and sparkling water stored in the fridge, which is a very good and welcoming touch. All that is needed at B&B D'AMICO, as other guests have also recommended, is a few more items of furniture in the bedrooms—the obvious one is a dressing table! Ladies, be aware of this because you’ll likely struggle! The place needs a deep clean and a lick of paint everywhere; it could benefit from a woman’s touch and honest advice on how to make it more homely. If you do this, Massimo, you’ll have a “No Brainer” place for guests coming to Cava. If I still lived in Italy we’d help you renovate it; it wouldn’t take long or cost much money either! Thanks again, we’ll possibly try and stay with you again in the future—take care and get rich!

“"FERRAGOSTO DA DIMENTICARE"”

The location is good. As soon as I arrived at the apartment I noticed I wasn’t alone. The apartment had two bedrooms with a private bathroom, but the description promised an independent solution with an independent entrance that didn’t exist. There was a total absence of cleaning in the common areas (patio and kitchen) and in the room assigned to me, with dust, mold, deteriorating fixtures, cobwebs, and dust everywhere, especially on the bed structure. The host was uncooperative, rude, and aggressive. After I reported it on Booking, we found him outside the room. Terrible experience; it’s possible that hosts like this exist. We just wanted to report to Booking that the situation was appalling. Obviously, when I invited him to come and check the situation, he responded that any choice I made, always being insulted, he clarified that he would never refund me and that I could also leave. I’m attaching photos.

The welcome and proximity to the station were great.

“Close to centre of Cava”

It worked well for our one‑night stay, but we definitely didn’t realize it was a shared communal area. This is noted in the description, but we missed it!

“Gentilezza”

The owner was kind. There was no hot water at first, but the owner resolved it immediately.
