Villa Dorata exceeded my expectations! Every room has an amazing view. The villa was clean and elegantly decorated. The kitchen was well stocked for eating in. The pool-hot tub area was great for hanging out. The patio accommodates many for eating, lounging and hanging out. I would stay here again in a minute. It's perfect! Summer In Italy took care of all my needs!

It was perfect for our family of 7 adults and 3 children. Everyone enjoyed the comfortable living area and the outdoor terrace. The views were spectacular. The house is beautiful. Francesco [the caretaker] came every day to clean the pool and make sure everything was in order. We had a great experience with the Summer In Italy company. When our first villa was cancelled, Luca helped us find another villa that would be suitable for our group.

Villa Dorata is beautiful, large enough for our extended family of 15, in the lovely and quaint town of Praiano with the most unbelievable direct view of the Mediterranean Sea from all locations. After spending the day touring the Amalfi coast we would return to the villa to use the pool and then relax with drinks in one of the many outdoor sitting areas. Our grandchildren also enjoyed more than their share of plums from the plum tree. It was also a perfect location for us to explore nearby towns like Ravello and Positano. Your concierge, Giovanna, went above and beyond to assist us with making reservations and giving suggestions. She also connected my wife with her mother's cousin which was a wonderful meeting and we went to mass at the church right there where my wife's father was baptized.

We were a family of 9 people, 2 generations of adults celebrating a special occasion. The best part for us was the roof terrace where we could gather to eat, play games, listen to music. The roof terrace is very well equipped and the views are spectacular. The garden is also a great gathering space with plenty good seating for all and space to stay out of the sun if we wanted. The living areas were very modern and spacious while the kitchen and bathrooms were more traditional. We felt there was plenty space for us all. The property garden and terrace were well maintained daily by Franco [the caretaker]. The seating and facilities in the garden were excellent. Summer In Italy were excellent. Their communication was prompt throughout and the information they sent for our arrival was comprehensive and clear. Any questions we had about the property or the area were answered so quickly. I would certainly use Summer In Italy again and can definitely recommend them.

This was my favorite week of our 4 weeks in Italy. The home was perfect for our two families. We loved sitting out on the patio every night enjoying the amazing view. The pool was great for cooling off each day. We loved the town of Praiano, it had all the charm of the Amalfi coast but not the crowds. The location was fabulous, we could walk to a local grocery, bars and restaurants. Giovanna the house manager was amazing help us set up transportation, tours and a in house chef one night. We would definitely love to stay here again. Summer in Italy was great facilitating the house rental. I would rent through them again.

We took a family vacation
We took a family vacation (15 of us!) and stayed at Villa Dorata in September. Villa Dorata exceeded our expectations and was even more beautiful than the pictures. Every room better than the next and the villa was very spacious and super clean! And the washing machine came very handy! Most of our time was spent down at the pool or on the terrace enjoying the breathtaking views. Villa Dorata could not be a better location! It is located right below the center of town which has a bunch of different restaurants and shops. Many nights didn't even leave Praiano and dined at the restaurants right in town. We liked that Praiano was small and quiet, yet vert accessible and close to neighboring towns. We would definitely recommend Villa Dorata! Renee and Franco (the housekeeper and groundskeeper) were wonderful! They were so nice and helpful and took care any request that we had.
