Casa Vacanze Galatro

Great location, easy to get to from the train station and for exploring the whole town of Sapri. Smooth check in process. I appreciated the communication from the host as all of my questions were answered. The apartment was clean and the air conditioning worked great.

La struttura è a 3 minuti a piedi da qualsiasi cosa utile a sapri

Nulla è andato storto

Praticamente in centro e a poche decine di metri dal lungomare. Ambiente tranquillo e pulito.

It was a fair price for a very basic room. Fridge provided, and a good bathroom facilities. All very clean, and good storage. Sapri itself is a really lovely, safe, family town. It has a really nice beach, with fine shingle and clear waters - and is not plagued by sales people. The town has good restaurants, gelaterias, coffee shops and the Lungomare is really lovely with shade and lots of benches. Not being overly touristy the prices are fair and not over-inflated. The bay is overlooked by lovely green hills/mountains and there is lots of walking/sailing in the bay, and the local area. Being quite shallow the water was warm, great for swimming, and the pebbled beach is far more preferable to me than sand which usually ends up coming home with me.

We couldn't get the air conditioning to do anything (not entirely sure it was connected). Had an uncomfortable couple of nights, couldn't open the window as there were mosquitos and no insect screen. There was no coffee machine or kettle in the room (good coffee shop about 100metres to the town square though). The fridge was next to the bed and really noisy, we had to unplug it to sleep. The bedding was the cheapest bedding I've ever seen, and the bed/pillows were quite hard. We made ourselves as comfortable as we could despite all this - oh, and the lack of WiFi (if there was, couldn't see the network, but had a 5G signal and lots of spare data so wasn't overly bothered). The key hand-over was a bit odd - I had to call one of three different numbers, two of which didn't work. When someone did answer they didn't speak much English which is fair enough, but the remote door unlock didn't seem to work the first few times. Then I had to call someone else who spoke no English at all and try to get them to understand it wasn't working. But he tried again I presume, and it remotely unlocked. So not ideal, I much prefer a key box outside and to be sent a code - but understand this can be impractical if there are lots of rooms inside a main building etc. If you just need somewhere to lay your head down whilst enjoying Sapri, then it's absolutely fine as it's essentially just a simple double room in a hostel type environment- but it has an ensuite and is private.
