A few words from Gioconda...

Hello! My name is Gioconda and I guess that if we were a large corporation you could call me the "CEO" of Summer In Italy.

Instead we are proud to be a small business, focused on the happiness of our customers, so just call me Gioconda. ;-)

In 1995 I was teaching at my school in Salerno, Italy, when a colleague of mine asked whether I would rent our summer house in the Cilento National Park to her sister Sandra and her brother-in-law from Germany. I gladly agreed, and that year our German guests spent a few weeks in our villa in Perdifumo.

Much to my surprise, in 1996 I received a phone call from Sandra, asking whether I would agree to rent our villa again, this time for a longer period. She had talked about Cilento to some friends and they wanted to spend their summer there.

The year after that I had to ask my friends and relatives if they would like to rent their own summer villas, as I could not accommodate all the people who were calling me to ask for a nice house near the seaside. And so I started managing their properties...

For five years we have based our activity exclusively on word-of-mouth, satisfying more and more customers every year. Also, every year new friends ask us to manage their villas. In response to these increased demands, we have setup this web site in 2001.

At SummerInItaly.com we are proud to present our selection of beautiful villas and apartments in some of the most charming vacation spots in Italy: the Amalfi Coast, Capri, Sorrento, the Cilento National Park.

I would like to invite you to browse our properties and visit this magical land where we live. I'm sure you will remember this trip for the rest of your life!

P.S.
Should you need any kind of advice in choosing your accommodation or planning your trip please let me know. I'd love to help you! You can also call me on my mobile phone at +39 347 4572695. Please watch your time zone: I live in the GMT +1 time zone (Italy). You won't call me at 3 in the morning, I hope! :-)

"Villa Smeraldo is great for a bunch of 20/30 somethings to relax in the sunshine, eat, drink and sleep for a week! The views are amazing and the top deck is perfect for long lunches in the sun. Thanks for all your help in organising this holiday - we all had a great time."

Matthew Whitehead, London, United Kingdom
