Hause Rules
In general, the rules of common sense
Smoking is forbidden inside the house
Smoking is allowed in open spaces
It is forbidden to organize noisy parties and events.

-The electricity/air conditioning included in the price up to 100 kWh of consumption, the consumptions over 100 kwh will be counted for an amount equal to € 1,00 for each kWh, to be paid in cash on departure.
- All the electricity used in the house is 100% exclusively energy from renewable sources. We are very sensitive to energy waste. It is a small contribution to the best protection of our world.
- In compliance with the Kyoto and Doha treaties, the Italian legislation provides that both in winter and in summer the temperatures inside the holiday homes can never exceed a certain temperature. This temperature was set at 20 degrees Celsius (with a maximum tolerance of 1 degree Celsius), equivalent to 68 degrees Fahrenheit, in heating mode and 27 degrees Celsius (with a maximum tolerance of 1 degree Celsius), equivalent to 80.6 degrees Fahrenheit, in cooling mode. These temperatures are imposed by the legislation for a healthy and optimal use of electricity, against energy waste and for the protection of the environment and public health.
- Moreover, by virtue of the recent war between Russia and Ukraine,Italy, like many other European nations, suddenly found itself without energy supplies previously coming from Russia and the Italian government, at the moment, has found only as a temporary solution that of double the costs of energy materials, so as to make consumption by the population prohibitive, thus reducing consumption.
- So remember that leaving the windows open with the air conditioners on, or leaving the lights on and the air conditioners on without anyone at home, or sleeping with the air conditioners on all night and covering yourself from the cold with duvets in Italy is considered an absurd waste of energy, no longer sustainable. For considerable energy savings, it is always preferable to use the dehumidifier mode in case of humid heat.
However, personally,I deeply respect the habits of each guest of the structure, but I believe it is important that all my guests have the precise awareness of the costs of their choices in order to maintain their habits.
-There is a tourist tax
The tax will not be paid in the following periods:
- January 1 to March 31
- November 1 - December 31
From 1 April to 31 October, the cost of the residence tax will be equal to Euro 3 per person per day (new amendment approved by the Municipality of Ravello on 20.03.2019), for a maximum of 7 days, subject to further legislative intervention variation of local taxes. After 7 days of stay, the following days of stay will not be taxed.
The age of 16 are not subject to payment of the tax
- The cost for the final cleaning of the whole house , terrace , swimming pool ( very scrupulous even before the advent of Covid 19 and made with specific products as per directives of the National Health System ), and washing and sterilization of the sheets , towels and of the tablecloths from bathroom , for each week or at least , for every change of guests , amounts to € 120. This sum is compulsory to pay at the check-out cash if it has not already been paid at the time of booking.
-The house must always be left in the order in which it was found and if possible cleaned;
I can advise you on excursions, shopping to do, of restaurants, pastry shops, night dancing.

The patio is nice and overlooks the Sea. The building is old and inadequately heated.
I’m sorry to say we were disappointed. 1. We had to wear our coats indoors. The owner monitored our use of electricity. On the second day he sent me a lengthy text explaining how I could monitor the complex meters myself on a daily basis. 2. We were happy to sort our trash and recycle. There were five categories with a scheduled pick up of different materials nearly every day. Trash and recycling needed to be put out between 22:00 and 24:00, but we had some trash left in the apartment on the day we left due to the schedule and our departure day. We left the apartment neat and clean. All dishes washed, refrigerator cleaned, etc. Wish we had taken remaining trash the half mile into town and deposited It in the city park waste receptacles, so owner wouldn’t have complained about the remaining trash we had sorted and bagged. 3. I think communication was a big problem. I had studied Italian before the trip, but my vocabulary was limited. Owner admitted he had English skills of a two year old. We had misunderstandings. 4. The HomeAway website indicated property had a pool and a hot tub. It had no hot tub. The unheated pool was the size and shape of a large hot tub. Very pretty. Owner said a different apartment contained a jetted bathtub, but it was out of order. We didn’t care to sit in an indoor bath tub anyway since we were expecting a hot tub on the patio. I notified HomeAway that their website was incorrect, and the property had no hot tub. I thought they should correct their advertisement because it was misleading. They contacted the owner, and I’m not sure what was said. I immediately received an irate text from the owner calling me a “bad person” who tried to ruin “him and his family”. He threatened to call the police. I wish the owner no ill will, but I cannot in good faith recommend this property. I have always had wonderful stays and a great rapport at every other VRBO/HomeAway in which I’ve stayed.

Fantastic, superlative, there are just no words.....
This place is just fantastic and if you know the Amalfi Coast you will know what this property has is hard to find and invaluable. You can park, it has it’s own gate so driving or hiring a car is straightforward and not the parking lottery which accompanies most stays in this region. The property has a lift (U.S. elevator) - almost unheard of here, removing the usual hundreds of steps required every time you venture out. There is a beautiful plunge/ hydro pool, almost impossible to find at this price, gorgeously designed. It has a huge terrace for dining and relaxing with stunning views of the coast, close enough to hear the waves on the rocks below. Minori is an easy walk where you can buy everything you may need and the town is serviced by a water taxi which opens up the entire Amalfi Coast- Amalfi, Positano, Capri, Sorrento - without any hassle associated with using the buses or parking. The interior is beautiful and large for this region. Amalfi properties tend to be hewn from the rockface and therefore are generally not large by the standards of other areas, but this property is larger than most. The building is stunning, an old minature castle, a stand out property on the cliff edge. We stayed as two couples, 4 people, but it could accommodate 6 easily without compromising space. But what stood out more than any of the excellent reasons to stay here listed above was the owner and host of Little Castle of the Moors, Francescopaulo. A kinder, more helpful or more attentive host could not be imagined, an amazing guy who it was a genuine pleasure to get to know in the brief time we spent with him. Francescopaulo can transform your stay from a villa coastal holiday into a full appreciation of the region. He offered to take us shopping to ensure we knew where to go and that we had enough supplies for the week- essential if your are self catering on the wonderful veranda and if you don’t know the shops in the area. He offered to take us to the best sights and let us know what festivals and local attractions were on offer while we were there. He ensured everything in the villa was as needed and was available whenever we needed. One of life’s true gentlemen and good souls, it seems much of his love, kindness and attention to detail has been transfigured into his wonderful villa and you can feel it all around you as you soak up it’s amazing vistas. Recommended and five star doesn’t come close- if you are looking in this region you simply have to go.

Absolutely Amazing
From before we arrived and throughout our stay Francisco was communicative, supportive, responsive and engaging. This is an amazing property with spectacular views. Would very easily be comfortable for 8 people- 3 couples and 2 teenagers or children in the bunk beds! We had 2- couples and 2 elders. Highly recommend the host and the home! Thank you Francisco👍

About the host

Hosted by Francispaul

Host profile image
I love jazz in all its forms, from swing to smooth /jazz, Latin/jazz ,fusion/jazz . I love everything that is rhythm, everything that produces and transmits vibration, atmosphere, harmony and joy, everything that is not framed in a pattern or closed necessarily in a label. To play you must have a solid technical background, but this, it will seem strange, it is the easy part .In fact, to fit with ease and musicality in a particular rhythmic context seasoned harmonies and melodies is required openness uncommon, inventive , a keen musical taste, a particular sensitivity combined immediacy executive; essential aspects to appreciate and use a shade and to frame your drumming with ease and quickness in a musical phrasing, trying not to be invasive, respecting the spaces of the other musicians in the group. It is not easy, because you have to be decided, sure, but you must also have rigor, discipline and firmness, without being afraid to be deeply innovative, while maintaining a healthy and vital feeling to play, the nuance, the atmosphere, the rhythmic joints . Well, in short , i believe , when you put all this together in that moment born the groove. That is not taught in any school, academy or conservatory. If a musician has the groove, will broadcast this particular characteristic in everything we do and with his sensitivity, his skills, his taste can deal calmly with the many aspects of this life with the awareness of being able to give birth, express and transmit things, aspects and definitely positive feelings and often uncommon. And then ...... I love animals and animal lovers can only be a person fundamentally and profoundly good mood .
