Villa Trotta was easily found as it is close to the village of Perdifumo, within the Nature Reserve, and the directions supplied by the agent were easy to follow and very helpful.
The property was in excellent condition, clean and well-presented, and the Housekeeper was friendly and attentive, showing us around all the rooms and pointing out the various features.
Villa Trotta is not a new-build city-centre rental property. The property is quite old and traditional, and retains its authentic period charm and character. It is situated in a very rural location, and therefore some allowance has to be made for this. The agent's guide explains all this in helpful detail.
Two major attractions are the superb illuminated swimming pool, which is of a very good size, and appears to have been very recently refurbished. There is an associated changing and shower block and plenty of good poolside recliners. The other attraction, which is hard to ignore, is the vast terrace which runs across the back of the building, giving wonderful, panoramic and unobstructed coastal views across towards Salerno. There is a large twelve-seater table on the terrace, where we had our meals and watched the fireflies in the evening. There is also a traditional wood-fired outdoor pizza oven, which we used one evening, and which worked very well.
As a three-generation family, Villa Trotta was perfect for us all. The rooms were all huge, with high ceilings and plenty of space for everyone, and the situation is quiet and peaceful.
We found Summer in Italy to be extraordinarily helpful, friendly and attentive. All correspondence was answered straight away, and the team were always available to answer questions or provide help if needed. We cannot praise them highly-enough, and this would be a prime reason for booking a property through them again in the future.
