About this house rental
Villa Gisella A is a bright apartment which faces the sun and the sea. It sleeps three people. It is approximately 70 square meters (750 square feet). It features a nice private terrace with a view of the sea, air conditioning (please read description below to check in which rooms the units are installed), winter heating and WI-FI Internet access.
You will be in the center of Praiano, approximately 100 meters (330 feet) from restaurants, shops and the SITA bus stop. You will find the closest beach (Spiaggia della Gavitella) at roughly 500 meters (550 yards) including 400 stairway steps. You will reach Villa Gisella A from the street level going up approximately 90 stairway steps.
You will not need a car to stay at Villa Gisella A. If you do have one, you will be able to park it at approximately 800 meters (880 yards), in a reserved covered parking space, in a fenced yard.
Villa Gisella is an independent house built on a stretch of coast which descends towards the sea. It is part of an old area of Praiano, right in the center of the town and a few feet away from shops, restaurants and bars.
From the terrace, you can enjoy a splendid 180-degree view of the sea and the coast. You will be able to admire the whole fascinating arch-shaped coast where Positano is nestled. Your eyes will meet, far in the horizon, Capri with its famous Faraglioni (stacks – vertical columns of rock in the sea near the coast) and the small Li Galli islands just a little closer.
The terrace will be your favorite place to have meals outdoor while admiring wonderful sunsets over the sea.
From Villa Gisella, you can reach the sea by either taking a bus or walking until the beach "della Praia", about 1 km (about 0.6 mile) away. You can also climb a long stairway (about 400 steps) which leads to a graciously small beach called ‘’La Gavitella’’ placed in an inlet enclosed by rocks.
During spring and summer the beaches are equipped with establishments and restaurants. Several beaches have small boats which take you to numerous and enthralling small beaches along the coast. Don't miss the chance of going on those trips! From Praiano, you can easily reach the beaches of Positano and Amalfi by bus.

Summary of reviews
Villa Gisella A offers unforgettable views, comfort, and exceptional hospitality from Adriana. The well-equipped house and terrace provide a perfect setting to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Amalfi Coast.
10.0 / 10.0
Villa Gisella A is a perfect property to us. The view on the terrace is unforgettable, it overlook the sea with Positano in view. We have breakfast every morning and watch all the yachts sails by. In side the house, it is very comfortable and super clean.
Adriana [the owner] stocks everything you can think of from pots and pans for you to become a gourmet cook, and enough dishes for you to throw a party! Adriana is a very kind and a welcoming host. The airline lost me luggage for two days. Adriana helped me to make contact, she even went out of her way to drove to Positano and pick up my luggage. WE are thankful for her help.
I would have no hesitation to recommend Villa Gisella A to anyone who want to come and visit the Amalfi Coast. Just to mention to get to the villa it is 90 steps up. It can not be avoided but it is worth it, after all Amalfi Coast is build on cliffs!!
10.0 / 10.0
Villa Gisella A is a fantastic place to stay, and the large private terrace has amazing views. The house is well equipped and very comfortable.
It is convenient for bars and restaurants in Praiano. There are shops nearby, so it is easy to pick up groceries. Praiano is a beautiful town, relaxed and quiet compared to some other places on the Amalfi Coast!
We have stayed in Villa Gisella A three times in the past 15 years, and we will be returning again!
Thank you very much to Adriana [the owner] and her family for making our stay so comfortable and relaxing!
Excellent communications and service from Summer In Italy.

Don’t let the 90 steps up intimidate you, they’re not bad at all and you get to enjoy the view every step of the way. Beautiful and huge succulent plants and lemon trees all around you.
The Villa is very private with a huge patio and wonderful views of Praiano and Positano. We never tired of the view, perfect setting to relax at night with a glass of wine.
The place had everything we needed. Bed was very comfortable with plenty of room for our clothes; kitchen is well stocked (great quality pans) and every type of glass you could possibly need.
The place is spotless! Every corner of it!
Hostess Adriana and her daughter Michela were most gracious and helpful! They greeted us with a bowl of fresh fruit from the garden, snacks and Prosecco. Mid week, Adriana lowered a basket from her patio to ours with a delicious pie, flowers and some limoncello for our anniversary. What a sweetheart!
Both of them so sweet and helpful. Their English is limited (and so was our Italian) but again there’s always Google translator.
We enjoyed our stay at villa Gisella immensely (despite some rainy days) and by the way, the patio is covered.
The location is perfect, close enough to other Amalfi coastal towns without the business and the large tourist crowds.
You are a 5 minute walk to great restaurants , bars, and shops, and beautiful St. Gennaro church.
What an amazing stay we had! We are already talking about coming back :)

This property is exactly as the photos show. There is a large balcony from which to enjoy beautiful views of Positano without the hustle and bustle of staying in Positano itself.
The property was clean and very comfortable; kitchen was well equipped and we particularly appreciated the welcome package of Prosecco, fruit and snacks.
The bedroom and sitting room were comfortable and our hostess Adriana was very willing to help out with anything that we needed.
There are 96 steps to reach the property from the main road, but this is par for the course on the Amalfi Coast. Adriana has an ingenious freight elevator to get your luggage to your room.
We were able to get around by the SITA bus and the local grocery stores were within walking distance for all essentials.
There are 2 restaurants close by; “La Dolce Vista” and “ La cucina del Tramonto d'oro” both of which had excellent food, great service and stunning views of the Mediterranean and neighbouring Positano.
Would definitely stay here again.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Villa Gisella A. The views of Positano and the sea are unmatched. The location was perfect for beach club, restaurants, groceries, etc. The villa has everything one would want or need and is impeccably kept.
If you enjoy walking and hiking, you can also walk to the eastern side of the town. We walked to Restaurant Il Pirata and spent an afternoon at the beach club there.
Nothing but great things to say about the villa.
Summer In Italy provided outstanding service. Very responsive and property was impeccable.

The terrace and view were amazing. Inside was very comfortable and clean with everything you need provided.
The owner was very friendly and helpful. She had left us home made jam and fruit - one evening she gave us a homemade cake and a bottle of cold limoncello - delicious!
Summer In Italy was also absolutely fantastic - responding very quickly and helpfully to our questions. We will definitely use them again if we return to Italy. Keep doing what you are doing!

Where do I begin to describe such a wonderful place? I would soon run out of superlatives! The property is perfectly located, very well stocked with everything you could possibly need, spotless clean, the views on Positano and the sea are just stunning.
But absolutely outstanding is Adriana [the owner]. She is such a loving and caring person, a really "superhost"! She thought of really EVERYTHING she could do to make our stay memorable.
The only problem we had was leaving... We hope to be back one day at this magical place.
Everything perfect with Summer In Italy. Very well run!

Most amazing view of the coast from our private terrace
Most amazing view of the coast from our private terrace!!
The host family members were just wonderful! Their English language is limited (but far more than our Italian) so it took longer to communicate but they were very caring and made sure we were comfortable with our stay, connected us to a great private boat tour company to Capri, and made the celebration of my mother’s 70th birthday there so special.
We were also able to hike the Path of the Gods from this property by going upwards. It was a long way up with lots of climbing (and a few times lost) but we eventually found our way and enjoyed the hike tremendously. It took us 5+ hours but even my 70 years old mother made it and loved it!
This is the best vacation rental we’ve ever stayed due to the amazing view and hosts!!

A superb apartment in a great location
A superb apartment in a great location. It was very clean and well equipped. The shower worked well and the beds were comfortable. There is a very well equipped kitchen and good food can be brought in the village shops. The view over the Amalfi peninsula is fantastic, particularly in the evening as the sun sets.
The owner is very friendly and helpful and lives further up the hill if you need anything.
We had a great time exploring the Amalfi Coast and would recommend it to anyone.
The booking process was very straight forward.

We had a brilliant time. The property was well equipped and we had everything we needed for our stay. It was spotlessly clean and a pleasure to stay there. We highly recommend it.
We found the location on the coast perfect for exploring as we were roughly in the middle of the sites we wanted to see.
The owners were extremely kind and very understanding about our late arrival and early departure (due to flight times).
I have to say that Summer in Italy were excellent in the way they dealt with us for our holiday. Whenever I needed to ask a question they were quick to reply and extremely helpful. If I returned to Italy they would be the first company I would look at.

A peaceful place on the Almafi coast with great views
The apartment is at the west end of Praiano with very good views over the sea and towards Positano. It was very well equipped with 2 good bedrooms, a bathroom with a good shower and a spacious kitchen/living room. It is well insulated and stays cool on hot days. Outside there is a lovely veranda, which is surrounded by flowers.
There are 95 steps to get to the apartment from the road, but when you are on the Almalfi coast you quickly get use to steps. There is an ingenious arial runway for taking the bags up so you don't need to carry them.
Praiano is a relaxed friendly village that is a welcome break from the masses of tourists in Positano or Amalfi.

I LOVED staying at Villa Gisella A
I LOVED staying at Villa Gisella A! The apartment is comfortable and has everything you need. But the terrace and the view is what makes this place spectacular!
There are 90 steps to climb from the road to reach the property. But you are only going to do that once or twice a day! The shower stall is a tad small but there's plenty of hot water and water pressure. I would definitely stay here again if opportunity presents itself.
The owner Adriana was wonderful!
You were very helpful and I appreciate all the information you sent, especially with the transportation. Thank you very much, you were great to work with.

Very clean, nice and spacious apartment with two big bedrooms and an amazingly beautiful view of the Amalfi Coast. Breathtaking!
We could park our rental car in the owner’s garage, reachable in a 10 min walk. We stayed 6 days and did everything by bus because parking your car in the area is almost impossible.
Summer In Italy provided all the information we need.

Enjoyed Villa Gisella A immensely. The kitchen was very well equipped for anything you might want to make. The bathroom is just standard but fine. The bed was not as hard as we were warned but that is the normal style. Air conditioning and Wi-Fi were very good and, of course, it's a million dollar view. We ate outside every day on the nice terrace. Even the buses honking around the curve below fades when enjoying that view. Of course it stops at night so no problem sleeping!
Everything worked and we were given some fresh eggs and fruit by the owners, which was a nice gesture.
Summer In Italy service is great.

Amazing terrace and views!
This villa is a real gem! The apartment itself is very basic but has everything you could need but the terrace is absolutely spectacular! You can watch the sun set over Positano while sipping limoncello (home made) and sitting under the olive trees that are planted in the terrace floor. The caretaker, Mrs Adrianna, couldn't have been sweeter and she and her family live in the apartment above. The only minor drawback was a rooster nearby that would start up about 5 am every morning! If I was to ever come back to the Amalfi Coast, I would definitely consider Villa Gisella A again!

Our stay at Villa Gisella A was fabulous
Our stay at Villa Gisella A was fabulous! I honestly cannot say enough good things about the apartment. The space was more than adequate, the furnishings functional and the location fantastic. If you are reading this review wondering if you should book this apartment, stop and go book it!
We were two couples traveling together and stayed nine nights in the apartment. We found everything we needed here, more space than if we had taken hotel rooms, and enjoyed the amenities. We would book Villa Gisella A again if were were to return.
The apartment is three rooms and a bath. The two bedrooms are small and simple, but for sleeping and dressing were all we needed. Both bedrooms had french doors that opened onto the terrace and we slept at night with ours cracked open. There was a wardrobe and a dresser in each, and a nightstand on either side of the beds. There was adequate space to unpack and store all the clothes we brought, and enough hangers in the wardrobe. We had no issues sleeping due to the firmness of the bed.
The living/kitchen/dining area was small but sufficient. The kitchen had all the tools we needed; plates, mugs, bowls, all shapes of glasses and utensils, including several sharp knives and a cutting board. The dining table seated four, and while there were only three comfy chairs in the living room we pulled a fourth from the first bedroom when we sat inside.
Out on the terrace there is a dining table with four chairs, and also a set of outdoor seats for socializing under an overhanging roof so that even if it rains you can enjoy being outside. There were some folding lounge chairs that we did not use, and a collapsible clothes drying rack that we did. There is a divider on the deck separating the two apartments, but we rarely saw or heard anyone in the one bedroom unit.
The bathroom was small but functional. The shower is the weakest component, and the one aspect of coming home that I enjoyed most was washing my hair without having to tuck my elbows. That said, the bath was entirely functional and I have no complaints.
There is a utility wardrobe in the hallway to the bedrooms that held cleaning supplies, electrical adapters and other miscellaneous items like washing machine and dishwasher soap. We loaded the dishwasher every morning after breakfast, ran it while we were out for the day, and it was great to come home to clean dishes.
The location of the apartment was ideal. Yes there were approximately 90 steps to get up and down,

Villa Gisella A is a wonderful place to stay when in the Amalfi Coast area
Villa Gisella A is a wonderful place to stay when in the Amalfi Coast area! It is so peaceful and quiet and very close to the other towns along the coast. The terrace is amazing and the views are equally beautiful from the terrace. The living room is really part of the kitchen which really wasn't an issue overall for our stay but I note it just so future renters will be aware of it. It did not detract from the overall stay. The amenities in the apartment were excellent. I would highly recommend staying here over Positano and we would definitely stay here again.
The apartment is excellent and I don't have any improvement thoughts or suggestions. The owners were responsive and very friendly, they even provided us with fruit, lemon cake and Limoncello! So nice!
Summer In Italy was a great help! They were responsive to my questions and requests and provided very easy to understand directions and guidance on arriving at the apartment. I would definitely use them again and recommend them highly.

The location is fantastic - amazing views. Villa Gisella A is very clean, well equipped and has everything you need for a wonderful holiday.
Within walking distance of the shops and restaurants and great access to public transport. There are a lot of steps up to the property but nothing unusual for the Amalfi Coast. The walk down to the beach is via a series of steps and walk ways but the little pebble bay and the clear blue sea is well worth the effort.
The owner, who lives in the apartment above, was extremely helpful.
Great service. Lots of helpful information on the web site. Will definitely use Summer In Italy again and recommend to friends.

My husband and I stayed for a week in April at Villa Gisella A and had a wonderful time. It's a lovely unique home. The entire house is faultlessly, spotlessly clean. We cooked most of our meals during our stay, and while the kitchen is small it is well-equipped, clearly the kitchen of a cook. Although the place is simple and basic, it is very homely and was really perfect for us. The terrace is just a joy and the views are fantastic from every room.
It's extremely well-located, with everything you need a short walk away. We loved shopping for our supplies every morning at the local alimentari and fishmongers, and going to Bar del Sole for a nightly aperitivo and people-watching. We intend to come back again, hopefully for a much longer stay!
The owners, Signora Adriana and her family, were extremely kind and caring; she even lowered a basket to us on Easter morning with a beautiful traditional Easter cake. Keep doing what you're doing!
Great web site, vetting of properties, communications and support! You really know your properties and hosts and that is key to your success. We would definitely book with Summer In Italy again, and will recommend you to our friends.

Villa Gisella A was a wonderful place to stay and use as a "home base" to explore the Amalfi Coast. Even though it was on the main road, it was surprisingly very quiet. You could not have asked for a more beautiful view as you get from the terrace. I would not hesitate to stay here again.
The owner even lowered a basket with fresh baked goods for us!!

We loved our stay at Villa Gisella A. The most spectacular thing about it is the unparalleled view from the terrace. This is the most understated feature of the property in the write-ups. From the terrace you can view the mountainside of the Monti Lattari chain, including an excellent view of hikers on the Path of the Gods. One can view the entire harbor of Positano, all of the boats, the beach, and the entire town which is absolutely gorgeous, especially when lit at night. Finally, the island of Capri is in plain view from the terrace, separated by water from the tailing coast.
We would recommend Villa Gisella A to anyone who prefers a realistic and authentic visit to the Amalfi Coast, its beautiful views and completely charming local people!
Adriana [the owner] was wonderful to us, and we feel we have a new friend in Italy! We simply loved our stay.
I will say that Summer In Italy was very thorough once our trip was booked.

Unbelievable view from the front terrace. Besides the exceptional view of "path of the Gods", there is a fabulous view of Positano, its city lights, the beach and its beautiful harbor. You also have a view of the island of Capri, simply stunning.
Adriana is a wonderfully warm and hospitable woman. She made our stay in Praiano an unforgettable one.
I hope we can return someday!

We stayed at Villa Gisella A in Praiano on the Amalfi Coast for 1 week. I can say without hesitation it was the most beautifully stunning location I have ever stayed in. Situated on a height above the famous coast road, approximately 90 stairway steps... The reward for climbing these steps is well worth it. High mountainous cliffs at your back, the rugged splendor of the coastline stretching out in front, looking down at beautiful Positano and on out to the island of Capri. Looking down below at the super yachts moored in the bay. On the terraced climb up to the villa is a fruit and veg garden at every turn: lemons, figs, tomatoes. The apartment is spacious, very clean, and had everything we needed and more! There was a travel adapter plug, plug in mosquito repellent, dishwasher tablets, insect sprays and lots of other items we thought we would have to buy. There was even a pair of binoculars for viewing the coastline in more detail! During the day we explored up and down the coastline... Off to Pompeii and Vesuvius, Capri, Sorrento, etc but I was never more happier than sitting out on our terrace with a glass of wine or beer in the evening watching the sunset over the Amalfi Coast. I would have no hesitation in coming back here... Indeed, it is on my to-do list.
We were greeted with a bowl of fresh figs in the fridge, a bowl of supersized lemons, and a bowl of fresh eggs. On one of those evenings we had a surprise gift from the owner (who lives in the villa above). She lowered a basket down to us with a homemade cake, a bottle of homemade limoncello, and a bottle of homemade blueberry liqueur. The cake was delicious, the limoncello was rocket fuel! :) Touches like that help to make your stay even more memorable. Keep doing what you're doing.
I can't fault Summer In Italy. Their response to my enquiries was very fast and always helpful and pleasant.
5.0 / 10.0
We absolutely loved staying at Villa Gisella A, a lovely 2 bedrooms apartment with a lovely terrace with the most spectacular view! The apartment is well equipped and has everything that one needs. I highly recommend Villa Gisella A we loved it!!!
Adriana the owner is unbelievably friendly and kind. For two times she offered us a basket of lovely food, this was extremely special to us. Everything was great! Thank you so much.
I thought that your service was excellent and I have already recommended Summer In Italy to several of my friends.

5.0 / 10.0
We loved living in Villa Gisella A.
The terrace has the nicest view ever. The kitchen is better equipped than our own and the view from the bedrooms is hilarious.
The owners have an "elevator" for bringing your luggage upstairs to Villa Gisella A. We even got home grown vegetables from the owner's garden for cooking.
I would recommend Villa Gisella A to everyone who wants to be a bit away from the crowds of Amalfi.
5.0 / 10.0
We absolutely loved Villa Gisella A and, based on other places we stayed during a month in Italy, it was also extremely good value for money.
The villa was in a stunning location with an exceptional view which we could enjoy from the generous terrace. It was also very well stocked, with a full kitchen and the best hair dryer I used during our time in Italy!
The location was also excellent. Praiano was quieter and less touristy than the other Amalfi towns we visited, but Positano was easily accessible in one direction and Amalfi in the other.
But what really made it was the unobtrusive and lovely help of Signora Adriana [the owner] and her daughter Michela and the thoughtful touches they put into the place including home grown produce, a freshly baked cake and his and hers dressing gowns. Signora Adriana also helped return some belongings I left behind (even dry cleaning them for me before sending them).
The villa is up 90 or so stairs so if you have limited mobility this may cause you some difficulty. The proprietors have a cable trolley and helped us with our bags.
I would highly recommend this place to others.
The service from Summer in Italy was excellent. We always got prompt replies to any queries and thorough (and humorous) information. I was also extremely impressed by the efficiency and helpfulness of the staff who helped to organise the return of belongings I left behind at Villa Gisella A.
