HOUSE The control of the external gate is the first button on the left near the front door. There is also another one, on the terrace, next to the entrance door. The control of the light on the outer scale is located in the kitchen, near the brooms. You can leave this light turned on during the night but please remember to turn it off during the day. If you turn on the air conditioner in the living room and simultaneously one or more appliances and heaters or fans the general counter may skip. In this case please exclude one or more devices and restart electricity, using all devices at the minimum level. The general counter is located on the wall behind the green door of the kitchen. Our advice is to always use the washing machine and dishwasher at night. If during your stay the kitchen gas bottle ends, please call immediately Mr Molisso tel. + 39-081-8798338, asking him to take another. You won’t have to pay anything. You only say "UNA BOMBOLA GAS PER NICOLA MIGLIACCIO PRIMA DELLE TERRAZZE VIA SERIO", he’ll understand. That’s all ! Please pay attention to the chairs of the dining table, which are in straw and hand- finished by artisans: for the children there are other chairs that are more suitable for them all over the house. The BBQ is at guests' disposal. The tools are in the lower drawer under the kitchen oven. After use, please do not leave dirty tools or grids. When using the barbecue, please pay attention not to grill the terrace plants also! If it is summer, it is likely that in the evenings there will be mosquitoes. At home, you will find anti-slip stoves and plates to be used before going to sleep. For the terrace instead, you can use the citronella candles or the citronella spirals or repellent spray in the skin. They are sold in all shops, including supermarkets. Please do not leave the gazebo and the big umbrella unattended in case of strong wind : they may move and cause damage. Just release a pair of laces that hold the one side of the covercloth before you leave. Tomatoes and herbs if any grown in the garden are completely bio and for you! In Vico Equense there is a hard waste collection and there are severe penalties for those who do not do it well, so please follow the instructions and deposit garbage every evening for what is scheduled the day after. You can leave the bags outside the garage on the left. When your vacation is ended and you will check out, please try to leave less garbage as possible at home, otherwise we will charge you with an extra fee for the disposal. As to safety at home, please note that Vico Equense is a very quiet small town from this point of view, but in any case all the window shutters can be locked with a key and that the entrance door is armored. Please keep attention to the keys: if you close all the windows and forget the keys behind the door, you won’t enter in the house anymore! At the end of your holiday, before leaving be sure to: - Leave the keys on the dining room table. - close the windows. - turn off all the lights - leave the dirty linen folded and in one place only. Finally, we remind you that the holidays are an opportunity to rest for everybody, therefore we ask you to respect the rules of civil society with your neighbours and to collaborate with them in the use of the common garage, which is intended for three cars of normal size. WHERE TO GO SHOPPING In the center of Vico Equense in the same road Via Nicotera you’ll find the supermarket CONAD, the fishmonger, the delicatessen, the greengrocer, the winery and other useful shops. At the University of pizza you can buy everything there is on the menu, including delicious vegetable portions to take away. The restaurant has its own underground garage which leads to the upper hall. Vico Equense is famous for its typical foods: we suggest you not leave before trying the famous fiordilatte , provola and provolone del Monaco by Di Gennaro, cakes and pastries by Andrea e Giovanni and the Gabriele ice creams and his dairy products, the gourmet handmade food by Pastammore shop. In Vico Equense there are two chemists and a hospital with emergency service and medical service. At the chemists and in the hospital you can ask for some advice, if necessary. In the centre of Vico Equense there are many ATM where to take cash, which is still used everywhere. WHERE TO EAT The University of Pizza, also said the Gigino’s restaurant, is a famous pizzeria which sells pizza by meter. It also provides a take-away and home delivery. Just call, order and ask that Vincenzo delivers the food to Nicola, Via Luigi Serio 45, in the "terrazze". Do not forget to leave him a tip! In the center of Vico Equense are also other restaurants such as Terra Mia, a Sushi Bar, Il Buco with its small indoor garden, Tito's, Bistrot la Piazzetta , il Barrio and many others. In Seiano, the next bay to that of Vico Equense, don’t miss a drink at sunset at the small bars of the promenade or have a dinner at the restaurant Mustafa. In Montechiaro, just after Seiano, you’ll find the restaurant Il Patriarca, with its panoramic position on the Gulf of Naples. In Sorrento, you can try Il Parrocchiano Restaurant, and the Pollio’s ice cream. Two other really good restaurants are Francesco in Schiazzano a fraction on the mountains of Massalubrense and La Torre in Santa Maria Annunziata, still a fraction on the Massalubrense’s mountains. The restaurant Eughenes in Termini, not to mention Maria Grazia on the beach of Nerano, with its worldwide famous spaghetti with zucchini… We don’t report the restaurants with Michelin and Gambero Rosso Stars throughout the Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast because they are already very famous (and very expensive for our tastes). WHERE TO PARK In Vico Equense there are many paid parking garages. Throughout the center you can park on the street, where the stripes are blue. You pay for it in the appropriate columns and please display the ticket inside the car, not out! Free parking is only possible where the stripes are white. To tell you the truth, very few white stripes are available.
