Reviews of Casa Marama

Loved our stay!

October 2023 - We loved our stay in Casa Marama. We watched life in the fishing village filled with tourists and local residents. The view is stunning and we sat for hours watching the marina.

Excellent

August 2023 - The beds and furniture were all comfortable and the whole place was very spacious. There is a great view of the marina and Mount Vesuvius.

Easy access for boat pickup, beach, several excellent restaurants, and a small market right outside the building. There is a public bus stop for rides into downtown Sorrento. Parking might be a challenge if you have a car, but we used private transfers and it went well.

Owner was great and met us at arrival to help find the building and show us around the apartment.

We would definitely stay here again if we return.

Excellent

August 2023 - Fantastic apartment. My family loved it and the terrace was a wonderful spot to enjoy the view and relax.

Perfect location overlooking the Marina Grande

June 2023 - This home is in the perfect location, overlooking the Marina Grande. It is surrounded by good restaurants and it is an nice walk into the city center and the ferry port. It was the perfect size for our family as we were traveling with another couple.

This was our second time here, we really love it!

August 2022 - This was the second time we were in Casa Marama and we really love it. The house is in Marina Grande, Sorrento's little old fishing village. If you want to go to Sorrento town, you just have to go up the stairs and walk 200 metres. In the apartment there are 2 spacy bedroom and a living room + a kitchen. Everything you need! It is awesome to see the sunset from your own balcony, and there are several balconies in the apartment!

There are a lot of lovely restaurants near the house and also a beach in front. There is also a little shop only few steps from the house.

The property exceeded all expectations

July 2022 - The amenities were as described, and then some. The location is right in the middle of the action in Marina Grande, but just removed enough to mitigate the late night noise. The view from the terrace can't be beat.

Everything was fine. Giuseppe [the caretaker] was a pleasure to deal with.

Summer In Italy could not have been more helpful. There were several changes of dates due to the pandemic. Luca and staff handled it all professionally and cheerfully. Contact by email and by phone was simple.

The whole experience was so good

May 2022 - The apartment was in a great location and the amenities were excellent with lots of thoughtful touches.

The host was lovely.

The whole experience was so good.

I love Summer In Italy (recommended by a friend) and have also seen other places advertised that looked beautiful. The communication is also excellent.

A little piece of paradise!!

April 2022 - No words really to describe our experience in Sorrento but everything was incredible!!

Our host Salvatore and his friendly wife Tiziana were great as well and they even let us check in early which really helped!

Waking up to the Mediterranean Sea and Mt Vesuvius right outside our windows every morning was breathtaking!! The village of Sorrento was beautiful and treated us in first class fashion!! Well done Sorrento!!

I'd definitely recommend anyone going to Sorrento and staying at Salvatore and Tiziana's incredible place!!

Highly recommended

June 2019 - The view from the balconies over the harbour and Mt Vesuvius were amazing. The location is excellent with many harbourside restaurants. The apartment is very spacious and beautifully appointed. Highly recommended.

Everything was perfect. You should take better pictures as the view is so much better that what is advertised!!

Enjoyed!

May 2019 - We did enjoy Casa Marama very much!

Good information from Summer In Italy.

We could not have asked for a better place

October 2018 - We could not have asked for a better place to spend our 8 nights in Sorrento. The location was perfect. Casa Marama was home away from home. I really can't think of anything I would recommend. We were so happy with our stay.

Everyone we worked with from Summer In Italy to the property people were great. We actually just happened on Summer In Italy but have recommended it to others and would use the service again. I love the news letters. I learned a number of things prior to going on our trip that came in very handy.

Very good service!

What a wonderful place

June 2018 - What a wonderful place to experience Sorrento in the quaint fishing village at Marina Grande. Location was very enjoyable. As stated it is right above a restaurant and bar so it was noisy but nothing that you can't block out with ear plugs and just getting used to it.

It was a very enjoyable place to stay and great views. Would definitely stay there again.

Fantastic! Summer In Italy is a great way to book your stays in Italy. Will certainly do it again.

Stunning views and a great value

March 2018 - Anything I could nit pick is quickly forgotten once price and the STUNNING VIEWS FROM EVERY ROOM are take into consideration.

Located in an old fishing village, with not many tourists staying there was ideal. It feels like another time. The bay of Naples with a clear view of Vesuvius and Capri farther away greets you all day. And there is a small black sand beach there as well.

We stayed for two weeks and found the stores and restaurants in Marina Grande were all quite good. The walk into town (Sorrento) up the ancient pathway was fun everyday and the views just made the day start off right. It was easy to get to all the other places you want to see nearby like Pompeii, Herculaneum, Naples, Amalfi Coast and Capri. A great place to Live Like the Italians for your stay.

And, the owners left cereal, coffee, croissants, cookies, juice, water and milk. Which was nice to have the next days breakfast after the long flight.

SII was always helpful and you could contact them and get a response quickly. I found them through VRBO and would not hesitate to use them again.

Fabulous position!

October 2017 - The outstanding aspect of Casa Marama is its position. The views from the property over Marina Grande are spectacular and there are small balconies from both bedrooms and the sitting/dining room where it's possible to sit and soak up the atmosphere. The bedrooms are very spacious, with plenty of storage. The property was clean and tidy.

It is in walking distance of Sorrento centre and the railway and bus station, although the climb up the hill takes a little effort! Marina Grande has many restaurants, so inevitably there is some noise, but this didn't cause us any problems in late October.

The owner of the property was extremely helpful. As we arrived in the evening, we appreciated the provisions that were organised for us such as milk, juice and croissants for breakfast the following morning. He also made contact with me before we departed for Naples and informed us about the changes to the train times from Naples to Sorrento. We thoroughly enjoyed our week's holiday and hope to return.

Summer In Italy was recommended to us by a friend. All the communication I had with the company, both by phone and email was always helpful and efficient. It was clear how we would make contact with the owner of the property. I would recommend the company and hope to use it again, for another visit to Italy.

Really excellent!

May 2017 - Casa Marama was really excellent. It had everything we needed and more. We were only 100 feet from the waters edge with great views. Three balconies were perfect.

Summer In Italy were great to deal with. Answered all our questions right away. Email responses were very quick.

Very good

October 2016 - Casa Marama was formerly a family home and was simply furnished but very spacious and clean. Fabulous position looking out over the marina with great views from both bedrooms and the living room. We had a great stay and were glad we were not right in the middle of the town (but only a short walk away).

The two young men running the property were very helpful, picking us up from the station and taking us to the ferry terminal at the end of our stay.

Very happy with the accurate description of the apartment and Summer In Italy information and service. I had rented an apartment through them before and had also been happy with their service.

Very good

May 2016 - The location and views from Casa Marama cannot be beaten!

Good

September 2015 - We loved our stay at Casa Marama, we had beautiful views and spent a lot of time out on the balcony watching the world go by.

It was as described, was clean and quite spacious. It was basic but had everything we required and we would definitely go back.

Casa Marama is situated at the far end of the Marina Grande and there is a bit of a walk some of it uphill with stairs. It is a beautiful walk but might not suit everyone. There is also a bus that takes you around if you can't manage the walk.

It was a stroke of luck that I found Summer In Italy online. I enjoyed the news letters and will be back again to Italy booking through yourselves. I have already recommended you to friends.

Fantastic

September 2014 - Casa Marama was very enjoyable.

Accommodation was excellent. Excellent location next to the beach and Marina Grande. Good nearby restaurants and shops.

Salvatore and Giuseppe [the owners] met us on arrival in Sorrento and took us to Casa Marama. They were very helpful... We were delayed and they coped excellently. Many thanks.

Excellent

August 2014 - Casa Marama is in a great position on Marina Grande, with great balconies to take in the breathtaking views from this apartment.

It is surrounded by lots of restaurants and shops and is just a short walk up to the heart of Sorrento - although there is a regular shuttle bus up to Piazza Tasso for 1 Euro.

We had a fabulous time staying at Casa Marama and would highly recommend it for your stay in Sorrento. Everything was perfect.

We highly recommend Summer In Italy - this is the second time we have booked apartments with you and on both occasions we have been very happy with your service and advice. We have recommended you to all our friends.
