Excellent accommodation in a perfect location

May 2019 - The apartment provides excellent accommodation in a perfect location, in the old town with its restaurants etc. jet not far from bus, train and ferry.

It would suit a family or group that will mainly eat out, taking simple meals in the apartment. We loved sitting out sipping a glass of wine looking up to the surrounding hills.

Summer In Italy does just fine.

Travel tips

  • If you don't mind a bit of a walk, then a whole new world opens up. Go to the official tourist office and get the free "hiking map". This shows all the footpaths behind Sorrento very accurately. Then ask about and get to know the local buses. You can now visit small country villages and the local beaches on foot, getting away from the tourist crush and admiring local gardening as you go. The views are fabulous.

We had such a lovely experience at Casa Graziella C!

April 2019 - We had such a lovely experience at Casa Graziella C! It was beautiful and the perfect location!!! Next to everything and at the same time on a quiet little street! The apartment had all that we needed. We had our 3 children with us, and it was perfect for us!!

There was always someone available to help us!!

Summer In Italy team was very professional and responsive!!! We looked at location and reviews to decide to book here.

Travel tips

  • We loved taking a boat ride between Amalfi and Sorrento. The beautiful coastline is not to be missed!

Amazing location

January 2017 - We loved Casa Graziella C. It was an amazing location and a really well layed out apartment and quite large for our family of 5.

The on site lady was really friendly and helpful and great to deal with. Check in and check out was made very simple and she was always there to assist.

June 2016 - Casa Graziella C was in such a good location, we could not fault it. Everything was very clean and tidy and we had plenty of space.

We would return anytime!

Summer In Italy was very helpful and gave us lots of information.

Travel tips

  • The drive around the Amalfi Coast took all day due to very heavy traffic. I would recommend visiting the towns around Amalfi by ferry.
  • There were too many restaurants to recommend!

October 2015 - We loved Casa Graziella C.

The apartment was in good order and I thought it was actually better than the description. We stayed there for two weeks and could not think of a better location. We have already recommended this property to others.

Everyone, especially the apartment manageress, Giusi, were wonderful. She went out of her way to share local knowledge with us and helped us with our flight documents for our return journey back home. Guisi was in the reception desk most days of the week providing help and welcoming new guests as they arrived.

Summer In Italy was fantastic. Keep up your good work! We will be in contact with you when we are planning our next trip to Italy.

Travel tips

  • Whatever you do don't separate the light & front door keys, keep them on the same key fob. Leave the keys in the light switch and only remove when you are leaving the apartment. If you fail to do this and leave them on the inside of the door lock by mistake, the whole brick/plaster wall surround may need to be broken down into rubble before the caretaker (and you) can gain entry again. This may take all day and prove to be very expensive - you have been warned !!
  • You need to get the property manager to program the telephone connection before you can use it to call in/out of the apartment.
  • All the restaurant recommendations in the paper document in the kitchen fruit bowl are all very good and well worth trying.
  • If you turn left from the front door & cross over into Via Accademia, there is a very good Barber shop and a great bar with a long happy hour - their pina coladas were the best we had in Sorrento. The bar is also part of a very good family restaurant but you could easily overlook this & walk on by, as we did several times before it got recommended to us.

The kitchen is well stocked, the furniture is comfortable and the A/C is excellent!! We simply will never stay ANYWHERE else but Casa Graziella C on our return trip to Sorrento!

Everything was perfect!

Travel tips

  • We have eaten A LOT of Italian pizza, it is one of our favorite foods, but Pizzeria Da Franco is THE BEST pizza we have ever had, so do no miss it!!

June 2015 - What a fantastic place to stay is Casa Graziella C.

The apartment is even more beautiful than the photos. It is so spacious, the beds are comfortable and everything is so very clean. On top of all this the location is perfect, so close to everything. Easy walk to anywhere you would like to go in Sorrento, there is even a restaurant as soon as you walk out the reception door which happens to serve amazing food.

Don't hesitate in booking this apartment, it is wonderful and the location is perfect.

Thanks so much for renting your wonderful apartment. We hope to return someday soon. It is such a lovely apartment and Sorrento is absolutely beautiful.

Thanks to Summer In Italy for all the wonderful service always updating us with information making everything so easy. Also loved receiving their newsletters.

  • Restaurants are located all around you and the swimming area to the beaches are no more than 2 minutes walk.

May 2015 - Casa Graziella C is an excellent base for exploring Sorrento and its superb region.

The apartment is well appointed, clean and attentively cared for. The kitchen is basic but with restaurants all around it makes no matter. We liked the neat outdoor patio for our evening drinks.

Travel tips

  • For getting to and from the Capri ferry, go to the nearby cliff-top park for a lift down to the sea front.

May 2014 - We loved our stay at Casa Graziella C.

Quiet and private but right in the center of the pedestrian zone of Sorrento.

A fantastic place to stay.

Travel tips

  • There is a lift to the beaches and the port. Ask where it is when you check-in as we walked endlessly down winding roads before realizing life could be easier.

Very good

October 2013 - The apartment provides a very convenient and comfortable base for exploring Sorrento and its region. You are right in the historic old town, yet bus, boat and train are easily at hand. Coming back each evening, Sorrento's superb restaurants lie just around the corner.

Travel tips

  • If like us you have young children you can get to good places to swim by using the local buses.
  • The restaurants are superbly child-friendly. On the other hand, the apartment would not be great if you wanted to cook in all the time as the facilities were rather basic.

September 2013 - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Giuseppina [the caretaker] greeted us and explained things to us. The apartment is beautiful and very secure. The location is perfect for those wishing to be very close to all of the activity of central Sorrento. We had a perfect week here!

Travel tips

  • Be sure to try Restaurant La Basilica just up the street.
  • Sandals at la Conchiglia (by Mario).
  • Spa treatments at Hotel Grand Excelsior Vittoria are a wonderful indulgence!
  • The train station is much closer than you might think - easy to make connections to Pompeii, which is a do-not-miss sight.
  • Enjoyed the Lemon Grove trip and the local museum is very good.
  • Restaurant O' Murzill is very good. Enjoyed lunch at Artis Domus. Must go to Marina Grande to have a great meal at da Emilia - one of the best of our whole trip! Great atmosphere and food.
  • If you want to take the boat to Positano, be sure to check on its departure time: ours was a once-a-day departure at 10:30 AM. We then boated to Amalfi, and caught the bus back to Sorrento.
  • Amalfi and Positano were beautiful, but we were glad we were staying in Sorrento!

I have family members who have used Summer in Italy, and have always been satisfied with the accommodations that you represent. I also found it comforting to know that any questions or concerns I had prior to arriving were addressed promptly and warmly. Your staff is wonderful.

May 2013 - We loved Casa Graziella. It really was a peaceful and beautiful spot right in the heart of Sorrento. The front door staff were great to have for any problems and they were wonderful.

The entire experience was great. We had no problems. Thank you!

Travel tips

  • We ate twice at a nearby restaurant called Da Gigino. Good atmosphere and food.
  • We took a minibus trip along the Amalfi coast which was beautiful. It was arranged at a tourist shop just steps from the front door.

April 2013 - Casa Graziella C is a fabulous apartment in the center of Sorrento. Despite it's central location it is very quiet, apart from early morning church bells!

There is a wonderful terrace to have breakfast on and lovely little balconies in every bedroom.

The kitchen was a bit small but with so many inexpensive, delicious restaurants nearby this didn't pose a problem.

The apartment was by far our favourite aspect of Sorrento.

Travel tips

  • There is a laundry only 4 streets away and an air dryer in the apartment.
  • One thing to remember is that the landlord charges you 1.5 euro per person per day in temporary residence tax. This is above the 100 euro deposit so be sure you have enough money to get to the airport because you might be surprised not to get all of your deposit back as this tax is deducted from it.

June 2012 - Casa Graziella C was the perfect place for us to base ourselves in Sorrento.

We particularly loved the outside roof terrace which was perfect for dining al fresco, and for relaxing on the sun lounges after a busy day. And being able to see the tip of Vesuvius from the terrace was an added bonus!

It was very clean, modern and well-equipped. We would definitely stay again and recommend it to friends.

We thought Summer In Italy were fantastic -- they guided us through exactly what we had to do in terms of booking, paying deposits, checking in etc., and answered all our questions promptly and well. I would definitely recommend them to anyone booking a holiday in Italy.

Travel tips

  • Casa Graziella C is perfect for exploring the local area as public transport is so good and so close.
  • We would definitely recommend getting the train to Pompeii from the local train station (10 mins walk away, no changes), and climbing Vesuvius (get the train to Ercolano and then the minibus (straight off the train) to Vesuvius).
  • We also got the boat to Capri for a day trip, and the bus to Amalfi (which leaves from the train station, again no changes) and a spectacular route.

Travel tips

  • Everything is close to hand. We travelled each day by train, bus and boat to all the nearby places: Pompeii, Herculeneum, Vesuvius, Naples, Capri, Positano and Aplontis.
  • No need for a car or private coach trips.

June 2010 - We loved staying at Casa Graziella C. It is located within walking distance of everything you will want to do in Sorrento. It is in an attractive pedestrian area. I enjoyed listening to the wandering musicians at the restaurant under our window a couple of evenings.

It was a comfortable and attractive apartment. We were glad of the air conditioner after a hot day of sightseeing.

The only thing we would have liked to have was WiFi.

Your booking agency was very helpful. It was easier to communicate with you than with another agency we used. I particularly enjoyed your newsletter. If we ever plan a trip to Italy again, I will use you. I will also recommend you to friends.

Travel tips

  • There is a Standa supermarket within walking distance that we visited several times to buy supper and other necessities. It was reasonable and has a variety of groceries, clothes and souvenirs.

May 2010 - The location was great, the grounds well kept and the accommodations spacious and well equipped. This is a great accommodation for four adults.

Each of the bedrooms as well as the living room had small balconies that allowed great light and circulation; however, the noise from the restaurant below required that we close the doors at times. Early morning glass collection also was loud and at 5:30-6:00 AM.

The terrace off the kitchen provided a place to sit in the sun, read or enjoy a meal alongside the church steeple and rooftops and truly experience the flavor of Sorrento.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this apartment as a great alternative to a hotel stay in Sorrento.

Arrangements were professionally handled and communication was excellent.

Travel tips

  • Casa Graziella is a great home base for day trips to Capri, Pompeii, Mt. Vesuvius, Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. The apartment location was conveniently located to Sorrento attractions, beach, transportation and shopping.

Travel tips

  • Easy to get to station for train to Pompei and Naples or the buses for Amalfi coast. Also close to road to Harbour for boats to Capri, Positano and Amalfi.
  • Visit the Foreigners Club at the top of the Harbour road out of the square for Info Desk, clean toilets, a quiet coffee and super view.
  • Do not use the little grocery shop just down the lane... much is out of date and very expensive. There is a good supermarket a short walk in the opposite direction... items half the price.
  • A bit noisy from the restaurant below until about 11 o'clock and the glass collection VERY early in the morning! Ok if you use earplugs.

The apartment was much bigger than we expected, it was cleaned mid week and we had fresh towels every day.

The owner was very helpful and there was a nice lady on reception every morning.

We hope to book again next year as we found the apartment more comfortable than a hotel room.
