This villa was perfect for our group of 6 adults. We spent many evenings on the terrace enjoying the incredible view. The kitchen was well-equipped for what we needed. Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and exactly as pictured. Luca was very helpful and knowledgeable. Everything was very well-explained up front. No surprises. Highly recommend.

The villa met our needs and wants overall. 4 beds, 4 baths, great view of Amalfi coast, proximity to Praiano, parking place for 1 compact car. This is an old house, well lived in. The kitchen is functional though not attractive. The bathrooms were ok. The bedrooms were good. It was quiet and secluded. The property manager was accessible and helpful. The villa is built into the coastal cliff, so there are many narrow steps down from the road to get to the entrance. This feature can be de rigeur for villas in this area, so this comment is just in the spirit of emphasis, not something surprising, but it is serious for anyone with leg problems. The mosquitoes were serious in the middle of September and the anti-aircraft supplies were low on arrival, but Luca and crew were responsive. Bring repellent if you want to enjoy the magnificent view from the patios. The distances to Praiano to the north and the closest beach are not long, walkable if you don’t mind Pamplona-esque running with the cars. We had hoped in mid-September that tourist season pressure would be lower, but it was full blast with packed Sita buses and fuhgeddaboutit taxi service.

The villa is amazing and in a fantastic location of Praiano
The villa is amazing and in a fantastic location of Praiano
The villa is amazing and in a fantastic location of Praiano. Close to restaurants and market for food. The bus to get to other towns on the Amalfi Coast was just up the road. Villa La Gattaia had private space for all four couples traveling. Two beautiful terraces to relax on and have dinners. The villa is old but has lots of character. I loved that we had a great place to stay in and it was not in the busy part of the Amalfi Coast like Positano or Amalfi. Luca [the caretaker] was an amazing host and helped us organize a charter boat and recommended places to shop (he even did some shopping for us to get local chicken and beef). Great service from Summer In Italy. They were really responsive in answering my questions. Also the links for transportation were great as well. I would highly recommend using Summer In Italy to book places in Italy.

Villa La Gattaia is an amazing villa furnished with beautiful old artifacts and art. The views are absolutely amazing and we are so please you recommend Praiano to us as this is a beautiful little village set apart from bustling tourist towns of Amalfi and Positano. The local restaurants are amazing and although many steps we embraced the exercise and were thoroughly delighted with our villa. Don't change anything, Villa La Gattaia is just perfect. Thanks for organizing our Capri boat trip and delivering our cold beer placing it in the fridge. Thank you so much Luca for your great advice on Villa La Gattaia and staying in Praiano, we are so glad we weren't in the middle of the bustling towns. Everything was just as you promised and we had a fabulous stay, many thanks.

Villa La Gattaia is a beautiful villa with fantastic views and lots of space for family and friends. Being located in Praiano, it is away from the full tourist rush of the Amalfi Coast. The friendly support offered by Luca [the caretaker] was excellent. Highly recommend.
