Words of Wisdom *** We at Villetta Mimma Vittoria understand that as Calabria begins to become a more popular travel destination, others will and have jumped on the bandwagon of the villa rental business to make a quick buck.
If you’re traveling on a budget and think to be getting a good deal elsewhere, (think again) you may end up finding that unscrupulous competitors in the region end up making up for the difference in savings by charging outrageously high HIDDEN FEES during check-out time.
This sly and underhanded practice is leaving a bad impression on those otherwise honest, good and hard working Villa owners.
We believe that competition is healthy for the market economy and the consumer, however at Villetta Mimma Vittoria we do not endorse this shady kind of business practice and we believe in stating everything upfront in our correspondence and rental agreement. In essence, we don’t like unpleasant surprises and treat others the way we want to be treated.
In conclusion, as you do your lodging research for your future travels to southern Italy…we hope to hear from you with any questions you may have, with the hopes you’ll want to stay at our villa while vacationing and exploring Calabria, Italy.
