September 27, 2008 - It was the most beautiful villa I have ever stayed in combined with the most stunning view of the sea and town below.

We had been advised of the walk to and from the Villa but hadn't quite expected it too be as many steps, up hill was the worst. I'm 30 and consider myself fit but even I had to stop a few times on the way up. So be advised, if you suffer from leg problems or tire easily maybe its not the place for you. The upside to this was we worked off all the vino and pasta with the walking and the steps would NOT put me off from staying at Casa Delia in the future. It's the most idyllic setting ever.

I would recommend this Villa to anyone who wants traditional Italian living.

Thank you.

July 5, 2008 - Our week at Casa Delia was magical and unique! It was a one-of-a-kind location.

We especially liked the large terrace which offered an incredible view on the small town of Atrani and the ocean (especially at sunset).

Admittedly there are lots and lots of steps to get up to the apartment from Atrani, 378 to be exact [unless you cheat and take the bus back home, that is! :-)]. Actually, steps are required to get anywhere. So those who have difficulty climbing or walking should think twice. However, after each walk back to the apartment, we were so grateful for the large, stunning swimming pool. We were normally the only ones at the pool and our children really had a great time in the water.

The caretaker Nicola was always helpful and the apartment itself was just as the website described it.

We were not disappointed and would definitely recommend this place to our friends.

Summer In Italy was great, our experience was fantastic. We discovered it online by accident and were not disappointed. We would not hesitate using this website again!

July 7, 2007 - Our stay at Casa Delia was absolutely phenomenal! The views from everywhere on the property were breathtaking, the apartment was very clean and well equipped, and Nicola and Tanya [the caretakers] were very available to assist with any questions we had.

Though the whole place was rented out, we were almost always alone at the pool and never saw too many people.

It is definitely a hike either into town (Atrani) or even up the driveway to the main street. The walk to Amalfi was less than 20 minutes which was great and often we would walk down the 300 steps to Atrani, over to Amalfi and take either a taxi or the bus back again (it truly is 300 steps!) Be prepared, the taxi's are expensive but the drivers were all wonderful, friendly and helpful.

This place and all of the previous reviews did not disappoint. We couldn't believe how lucky we were to have found it. Even though the temperature was 25-30C and there was no air conditioning, there is a constant breeze and the apartments are cool due to being built into the side of the mountain.

Summer in Italy was great with lots of information and phone numbers provided in case we had any problems - which we didn't. We would definitely book through them again.

May 26, 2007 - We loved the pool, the deck, the little town of Atrani below, the bells chiming every hour, the roosters calling in the morning and the view was amazing!

You guys were great! Very efficient. Very helpful. Great site. Very informative, I would recommend all my friends...

July 15, 2006 - Casa Delia is a lovely and unique place. My husband and I were there on our honeymoon in July, and found it a perfect location in which to relax and enjoy the stunning views of the Amalfi Coast. We were able to cook for ourselves in the well-equipped kitchen, and loved having the pool available for a swim during the hot afternoons. Nicola, the caretaker, does a beautiful job with the flowers and landscaping in and around the villa: it truly is an exquisite spot.

The complex in which Casa Delia is located sits perched above Atrani, a wee gem of a village that is a short walking distance from Amalfi. There are a few small shops and good restaurants; my husband and I were lucky enough to be there the night Italy won the World Cup, and it was great! Villagers gathered in the town square to watch the match on a movie screen in the open air; there were fireworks galore, car horns blaring up and down the coast, people embracing, young boys jumping into the sea to celebrate.

Those who have trouble walking should note that steps lead everywhere: to the pool, to the parking space, to the village. I was recovering from an appendectomy at the time and managed the stairs relatively well (if slowly). The views you are rewarded with make the climb more than worth it, though!

The apartment of Casa Delia itself is quite large and roomy. It remains cool (if a bit humid) on hot days because it is built into the wall of a cliff, which you have probably seen in the photos. My only advice here would be to recommend leaving both bedroom doors open to let the air circulate through during the daylight hours, as the humidity from the adjoining bathroom can get trapped if you don't.

Savor the night views from the terrace. It was incredible to see the moon peek out from behind the cliffs and shine across the sea, all the little lights of the village houses twinkling away, and the church across the valley illumined until late in the evening.

Working with Summer in Italy was great, all of the information you provided was very helpful. We would definitely book through you again if/when we plan to return to Italy!
