Electricity:
Depending on consumption.
You pay for electricity usage during your stay. The cost of electricity is paid at checkout when the apartment undergoes a final inspection. Guests’ electricity consumption varies greatly depending on the number of guests and how the AC or heating is used. Currently, the cost of electricity is very high; please do not use the air conditioner if you leave the apartment or do not need it, as the cost can be high.

The apartment is located in the heart of Pizzo’s old town. There is no private parking space; however, there are municipal parking spaces, some of which are free and others require payment.

Note! During peak season and depending on the time of day, it can be difficult to find parking near the apartment, especially in July–August and part of September. We have a tip for free parking, but it’s a 5–8-minute walk.
-
From the apartment, it’s a short walk to the piazza and small shops, a bakery, and fruit and wine shops.
Pizzo Marina is a 5–10-minute walk downhill from the apartment.
If you walk 10 minutes uphill from the apartment, you’ll find Pizzo’s main road, Via Nazionale. There you’ll find supermarkets, a gas station, and more shops selling fruit, vegetables, cheese, and bakery items.
So if you don’t mind short walks, it’s easy to leave your car parked.

Pizzo also offers tuk-tuks as small taxis, so if you don’t want to walk, it’s easy. You’ll find them around Pizzo or at their pickup point in the Piazza.

Important to know:
A cleaning fee of 90 euros is paid in cash upon arrival at the service office.

From October through May, there is also the cost of gas consumption, such as for heating, the fireplace, and hot water.
