Away from tourists
This community is a beach town that sees few tourists off season. I loved it, but it depends on your tastes. The room does not get super dark at night, but I travel with eye covers since I am sensitive to light at night. The kitchen had everything I needed. I wanted a massage and right now due to Covid massages are shut down in Italy. Pietro came through because the local medical spa has a mud, then hot springs bath (sulfurous springs) followed by a short massage that is labeled a medical treatment in Italy and was totally relaxing. The mineral bath removed all aches and pains, really wonderful for hot springs afficionados.
Not all trains stop at this local stop so you have to look up on Google or ask to make sure the train will stop at Trecase. It is easy to go to all local archeological site from here. I stayed in Naples first and this community was better for me on all fronts. If I go back I would only do day trips to Naples as it is crowded, dirty and full of beggars and homeless. This area was full of normal people just living life and Italian visitors. The beach is black sand and I don't know if they clean it during beach season, but there is a ton of trash that washes up which is very sad. It was still a very nice place for me. I went to Sorrento one day and came back right away as Sorrento is a highly groomed tourist area and not to my tastes.
Even the food was much better here than Naples and lower in price. The rental was the quietest I stayed in and very secure. Lots of hot water and even a washing machine which I appreciated. November is not for everyone, there were very heavy rain and thunder storms, but on the upside the light when between showers was incredible and the day I went to Paestum there were only two of us outside at the archeological park. When I entered Pompeii there were not more than 12 people in the whole giant place although more came later, it was very empty. I loved it and just dressed for the weather.
Pietro checked up on me by message from time to time and was a great host.
The day I arrived fiberoptic fast internet was being installed and the wifi was blazingly fast which was great as I needed to work online.
I have found VRBO to have a consistent high quality level and it is my preferred booking site worldwide.
