1000000 percent, absolutely incredible. The villa was better than expected.
Summer in Italy was tremendously helpful and provided us recommendations for a car service as well as a grocery delivery. The owners met us at the villa when we checked in and walked us through the property. They came back mid week to clean the pool for us.
Location was breathtaking, dead center between Positano and Amalfi. Local bus service was inexpensive but must be patient. The neighborhood church with its bells made us feel like we were living in a dream.
Your organization was incredible, dream vacation, like your newsletter and will be planning to rent again .

This property has amazing views. Just keep in mind it takes a lot of energy to get there so get ready for a hike. House was spaces with a good layout. There is an ant problem that needs to be addressed. I would also recommend the Host leave more towels, sheets and pillows out.

We were 5 adults staying at the Villa Giusi and we loved it. The villa was beautiful with very tasteful decor. We lounged around the small but lovely pool in the mornings. The area is quite and peaceful and the views are amazing. The villa was clean and we had a washing machine we made use of.
It's a nice walk to the main road with restaurants, and a few shops. There are quite a few steps to get to the villa however we found another way round which was slightly longer but easier.
Paolo our host was accommodating and left us to our own devises but was on hand if we needed him.
Summer In Italy are so good, they answer all your enquiries quickly and professionally and they reassure you. This is our 3rd booking and I have just booked with them again for next year. Oh and their English is very good too. Grazie Summer In Italy.

We had the most amazing time at Villa Giusi
We had the most amazing time at Villa Giusi! The terrace is wonderful with green area, trees, pool, and chairs. And the view... Oh, the view!
The location was terrific for us. Close to town as well as the little market. A few restaurants were close, but we liked best a restaurant near the cathedral, which wasn't too far away. We would ABSOLUTELY stay again.
We had a great experience and would absolutely rent with Summer In Italy again.

Everything was wonderful
Everything was wonderful! The view was spectacular, the house lovely, but spent all our time outside except to sleep. Each room had ac which was a help. The pool was a comfort after we came home from walks or shopping especially after climbing so many stairs! Enjoyed my coffee every morning looking at a spectacular view and listening to the church bells.
We were meet by Paolo [the owner] who helped bring our bags to the house (there were quite a few) and we entered paradise.
Summer In Italy was so helpful and easy to deal with. Always kept in contact and keeps you up-to-date on everything. I would definitely use them again for my next Italy trip. Thank you for making our family vacation a memorable one!

We absolutely adored every minute at Villa Giusi
We absolutely adored every minute at Villa Giusi. It was the perfect size for our group of 5 friends. The layout was ideal to afford privacy when one needed some and the outdoor space truly became our common living area. Oh and the views... These were spectacular.
The location was ideally situated a few steps from Restaurant La Moressa and a few more steps down to Tutto Per Tutti grocery store.
Although the kitchen was a bit on the small side, we did prepare a few meals there to enjoy on the terrace. It was a welcome treat to return home each evening to Villa Giusi (or spend an entire day lounging in the sun under the lemon grove).
The owner was fantastic and available through WhatsApp the entire duration of our stay.
From the moment I started looking at properties in the Amalfi Coast, the team at Summer In Italy was extremely helpful and easy to work with. They were responsive to my questions and provided great recommendations also.

We have just returned from a glorious holiday in this idyllic town
We have just returned from a glorious holiday in this idyllic town. The house was perfect for us - quiet, clean, plenty of space for the teenagers to relax.
Shop just down the road and a handful of really good restaurants in easy walking distance. It was perfect for us. And the view from the villa was breathtaking. We loved our evening visits from the geckos too! The villa and area felt safe and I am usually quite a nervous mother but I wasn’t worried here.
Service from Summer In Italy was outstanding. Very responsive to my questions and very professional. I felt like I had a personal service and that they really cared about our holiday. I will definitely recommend them to my friends and family.

The place is stunning and the views are breathtaking. The layout of the place is perfect as the bedrooms and bathrooms are conveniently positioned throughout the place.
And above all the hospitality from the owners was beyond our expectation! They were so helpful and genuine and truly made our stay in Praiano unforgettable.
I highly recommend staying at Villa Giusi. It was perfect!

Stunning place and incredible host
Paolo’s place was absolutely stunning and the location couldn’t have been better. There’s a grocery store that’s not even 2 mins away and the owner is lovely. Paolo was such a kind and helpful host who made our stay within Praiano perfect. We can’t say enough great things about our stay and this place!

Lovely
The villa was clean and comfortable. The veranda and pool were lovely. Paolo was very helpful. It was well located in the town with a store and lovely restaurants within easy walking distance if you don't feel like going all the way down to the bay. Only issue was the DVD player didn't work and the tv signal was poor. Not really an issue as we didn't travel all that way to watch tv but it would have been nice to be functioning when the family needed some down time. Kitchen was well equipped and the air conditioning worked well. I enjoyed watering the lemon trees and using them to cook with at night.

Great location and very kind host
We loved staying in Villa Giusi. It is high above Praiano in a very quiet neighborhood. We ate several times at La Moressa and did all our grocery shopping at the charming Tutti x Tutti which had the most amazing loca fruit.
A few things could be improved - there was only 1 roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, no laundry, hand or dish soap. The beds were a bit hard and could use a mattress cover.
All in all we would return to visit this wonderful region.

Lovely place
Lovely place! Views are spectacular. Outside area is so nice! Inside area is a little small, but that would not be important on a summer day. It was only 55 degrees Fahrenheit when we were there, so unfortunately, we had to eat inside. The eating space is designed to be outside. There is an outdoor sitting area as well as the indoor one.
The owner, Paolo is awesome! His elevator for getting suitcases up the 50 steps is great too. Steps were not a problem. Grocery store is really close.
The villa has top-of-the-line appliances and fixtures. We loved the lemon trees, too! Not sure where else would be better in Praiano. We found Praiano to be quiet, but it was also March!
Very happy with our choice!
Dealing with Summer in Italy is pleasant and I'm happy I booked through them! Their help was great!

Good location
Good location. Felt more authentically low-key Italian vs tourist mecca Positano. Well equipped with a fair amount of room. Spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Good outdoor space with a very nice view.
Would definitely consider renting again.

We were in Praiano for only three nights, but we enjoyed every second
We were in Praiano for only three nights, but we enjoyed every second. The villa is lovely, clean, attractively decorated, and having the pool is a great perk.
I admit that when we first arrived, car-less, and confused about where we were and how we were going to take advantage of the coast basically on foot, I was disheartened. The owner pointed us in the direction of a neighborhood market, which was closed for siesta, and it looked drab and unfulfilling. But when the market opened and we discovered it had a fabulous meat/cheese counter and a bountiful wine cellar (yes, a CELLAR!! -- Tutto per Tutti), I was thrilled. And then we walked into town and rented mopeds, and never looked back. It was an amazing three days, zipping around on scooters (I hadn't been on a scooter in nearly 30 years; if I could do it, anyone can do it!), enjoying the villa at sunrise and sunset, and seeing Amalfi and Sorrento up close.
You have a great company. After having some trouble using Airbnb, I was very fortunate to stumble upon your website. Your services were topnotch and I thank you! It can be nerve-racking when you are making overseas plans, Summer in Italy made the experience very comfortable. Thank you!

Villa Giusi was exactly as advertised and very enjoyable
Villa Giusi was exactly as advertised and very enjoyable. A great place to stay in Praiano.
Was happy about the bedrooms with good mattresses and nice bathrooms. While we did no cooking on this trip my only possible critique would be the kitchen could have a few more glasses and utensils.
The owner was attentive and responsive.
I will recommend Summer In Italy to all my friends. Your prompt follow up and attention to details is excellent.
