Reviews of Casa Anna A

Very good

June 2014 - Great. Wonderful people.

Excellent

July 2012 - Very pleasant, quiet place to stay on the otherwise busy Amalfi coast.

Owners were really helpful, generous with their time.

The common terrace area was outstanding.

Easy to move around the coast, to Sorrento and Pompei by public transportation.

Would recommend this place highly.

You did a great job, couldn't ask for better. Special thanks to Luca and Andrea for saving the start of our vacation with a prompt reply when I emailed them from Fiumicino for help when I discovered we had left the contract and information about arriving at Casa Anna A at home!

June 2010 - My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Casa Anna A. The apartment is nice and the view from the terrace is amazing.

The owner has a wonderful roof top garden and let us use some of her basil.

The location also makes it easy to catch a bus to Positano and Amalfi.

We highly recommend staying here!

I will recommend this site to others visiting Italy. We had a great experience.

October 2007 - We enjoyed it very much.

The apartment was very clean. I liked being able to make coffee and light dinner. The owners were very helpful and pleasant.

Friends had stayed here previously and told us that the road was noisy, however, I pictured the road being in a little town, not the main road for the Amalfi coast, so there was more traffic and noise than expected.

Excellent

September 2007 - The apartment is fine and Anna and her son are very helpful and pleasant.

The advantage is that the unit is right on the main road so no endless steps to get to the apartment. The disadvantage is that buses roll by at all hours, and scooter noise is never-ending. My wife had a hard time getting a good night's sleep.

Small TV, and there were no non-Italian stations available.

For the price, the value is OK. We visited with a friend who was in Italy at the same time, and for about 100 Euros more, the difference was major. This is a clean, but very basic property.

Casa Marina next door, with a large patio, is a much nicer property.

June 2007 - We had a great time at Casa Anna: friendly hosts and a great, clean, spacious, apartment. We would recommend the area and site highly.

We were very happy with the property, keep it secret so that too many tourists don't find it!

June 2006 - Very lovely place in the best part of Praiano (near the beach).

The hosts are very lovely people and most helpful in all ways.

The traffic is a bit noisy but considering the perfect location and the modest price it’s absolutely a good budget alternative!

Excellent

May 2006 - Thanks for the way it was all organised. The process followed by Summer in Italy works brilliant.

Casa Anna A is a great place in a great location with enough comfort to make it a very pleasant stay.

Excellent

May 2006 - It was perfect for our needs. We wanted view and location.

The people were fantastic. We felt like part of the family.

I found Casa Anna by typing in villa rentals in Italy. You have made it so easy and your website is very well formatted. It's been a pleasure and we do plan to return.

April 2006 - Anna is wonderful -- she showed us around and gave us a bottle of wine and a big bowl of fresh fruit as welcome presents. The kitchen is small (and no oven) but she left it stocked with all you need, plus essentials like olive oil, vinegar, coffee and sugar. Though Anna doesn't speak much English, her daughter-in-law, who works in the ceramics shop below, is fluent, and helpful.

The location was great -- the main road goes right by it so it can be noisy, but is always interesting. In the evening, you can watch shopkeepers come out and talk. Also, there are lovely ceramics to buy in the shop. Walk up the stairway/street near the apartment to find the grocery store, "Tutto per Tutti" (ask people on the way where it is) -- it's closed in the early afternoon -- It's a delightful place to shop and everything is very fresh.

We did find walking on the main road into town (about 1 km. away) too stressful, so we found a way to climb the hillside streets and make our way into town. It's good if you have strong legs, enjoy the views and are not in a rush.

The Bar de Sole in town is THE place for morning cafelatte or cappuccino and cornetto and people watching, with a great view of the duomo, Positano and the Mediterranean.

We loved Praiano and decided it was the best place to be on the Amalfi Coast. Be sure you say "buon giorno" to shopkeepers and everyone you pass on the street.

I felt very confident about the arrangements and everything worked out great. You were recommended by the Slow Travel web site, and it was a justified recommendation. What a nice organization! Grazie tanto.

October 2005 - We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Anna A!

It was a nice, clean villa and the owner Anna and her family were wonderful. They were always friendly and helpful, especially their helper Laura.

There was easy access getting around with the bus stop being close and lots of places within walking distance.

Please tell the family we said hi and will have many fond memories of our stay.

Summer In Italy has been fantastic! We've used them our past three visits to Italy and they have made everything so easy. They provide so much information and any questions are quickly answered in a professional way. Summer in Italy is the first place we go to when we start planning our next trip!

Excellent

July 2005 - I had an excelelnt time. The owner was very very friendly and helpful and there was English-speaking staff working in her shop next to the villa.

The location was excellent and the view of the sea was gorgeous.

I would highly recommend it for a base to see the Amalfi coast as it is locted between Positano and Amalfi.

Excellent

June 2005 - I loved being there -- it is a bit noisy because of motor bikes and being right on the road, but that felt like part of the whole experience.

The view of the ocean is perfect, and the morning light into the main bedroom was excellent.

The kitchen was a little too tiny and difficult to use, especially if you have a third person (as we did) using the foldout bed.

But I'd definitely return to the casa. Anna [the owner] and her assistant in the downstairs pottery shop were lovely people.

Excellent

June 2004 - My wife and I absolutely enjoyed our stay at Casa Anna A.

We were initially greeted by Anna, a very warm and friendly lady. When we arrived, she offered an espresso, which we thoroughly enjoyed. She then helped us to our appartment and it was everything (and more) that we hoped it would be.

The view from our balcony was magnificent!

Praiano is well situated between Positano and Amalfi. Several nearby restaurants make the stay at Casa Anna most enjoyable.

The bus ride along the scenic coast is wonderful and exciting at times.

Please tell Anna that we enjoyed our stay at her home and that we are continuing to remember Praiano with the ceramic from their shop.

I want to thank Summerinitaly for all that they did for my family and I have already recommended the website to our friends. It was a very positve and memorable week.

Excellent

April 2004 - The owners of Casa Anna A, Anna and her family, were really charming and nice.

The apartment and the environment are very pleasing and we enjoyed very much our stay.

All the doubts that I raised were answered nicely and rapidly by the staff at Summer In Italy and they were very clear.

Excellent

May 2003 - We had a wonderful stay at Casa Anna A.

We were very well received by Anna and her family and the apartment was perfect for our needs.

The website is also very easy to use and informative. The apartment was very well described.

Thank you for everything.
