Reviews of Casa Marco

Very well situated, loved it!

June 2022 - We absolutely loved it. It was very well situated, a quick walk down to the beach and small square with a choice of five good restaurants and a small shop.

Atrani is a very good choice. It is a quiet escape after the crazy tourist madness of Amalfi around the corner and too popular Positano.

Maria who showed us in went out of her way to make sure we were happily settled in. Excellent service! Marco [the owner] was immediately on hand to help us with a confusion about the hot water system.

I would certainly recommend Casa Marco and we as a family really are intent on coming back.

Fantastic

October 2019 - It was a very pleasant stay for us at Casa Marco.

Especially the large terrace adds a lot of value to it!

Great place, would highly recommend

September 2019 - Very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

I would definitely book again.

Perfect location!

September 2019 - Perfect location! 3 mins to the beach 8-9 mins to center of Amalfi.

August 2019 - Enjoyed Casa Marco. It is very well located and has all amenities.

Marco, the owner was super nice in receiving us. He was very helpful in setting us up and gave us some good advice.

I've booked through Summer In Italy because of the better price. All-in-all the experience with Summer In Italy has been great. I would recommend.

Perfect for us

June 2019 - Liked it very much. The apartment was perfect for us.

Atrani felt genuine and friendly.

May 2019 - Charming apartment, more spacious than the photos appear and nice new kitchen.

Great views, amazing location.

Loved living in the village of Atrani

April 2019 - We had a week over Easter at Casa Marco and loved living in the village of Atrani. It was quiet yet just a quick walk took us to Amalfi with all the tourist shops and transport options.

For me the outdoor terrace was the highlight of the apartment. We ate dinner out there every night and than walked to the piazza for gelato and hot chocolate.

I found Summer In Italy very easy to deal with and most helpful. I would certainly book through them again if I am fortunate enough to travel to Italy.

Everything is exactly as the pictures show, very clean and full of character

September 2018 - We LOVED our stay at Casa Marco. Everything is exactly as the pictures show, very clean and full of character. And it has a dishwasher and washing machine, which were huge bonuses! The location is fantastic, a quick 15 minute walk to Amalfi.

One important note for future guests: as you can see from the pictures, the terrace is about 100 ft from church bells that ring every 15 minutes, 24 hours every day. I don't sleep well and didn't sleep at all the first night, but we had tried to leave all of the windows open because it was hot. The next night we closed all of the windows and doors (the apartment has both thick glass windows and wooden shutters, which really helps), and with earplugs I could barely hear them. After the second night I had no issues sleeping. So be aware and close the windows!

Marco [the owner] even picked us up in Salerno -- thanks Marco, we appreciated it! Couldn't have been better!

The Summer In Italy team were fantastic throughout the entire process. They were incredibly responsive to my (many!) emails and questions, and kindly and patiently answered everything I asked. I was blown away by the customer service and I would highly recommend them for future travelers -- I would book with them again in a heartbeat!

August 2018 - I loved the location, in the heart of Atrani. Lovely views from the terrace - sea mountains and architecture.

Summer In Italy were great, very helpful.

I will definitely come back and stay again!

July 2018 - I loved staying at Casa Marco. It was very pleasant and the terrace wonderful. Felt more like a private house than a holiday home. I will definitely come back and stay again!

Marco [the owner] was extremely kind and helpful. Easy to communicate with.

Everything has been very good with Summer In Italy. Communication. Service. And follow-up. Thank you.

A great location

May 2018 - A great location with a fantastic terrace and sea views.

Atrani is the quietest of the Amalfi Cost towns and this was a welcome relief after the hustle and bustle of Positano and Amalfi.

Travel tips

We especially love the terrace and the views

September 2017 - My third visit to Casa Marco. I love everything about it. Well, maybe not the 87 steps! It fits my style... Simple, comfortable, and charming. We especially love the terrace and the views. We like having a kitchen if we choose to eat in too.

Marco, the owner, is so hospitable and helpful. He has become a friend.

I have been very pleased with Summer In Italy. My third time. You make it easy. Thank you.

Travel tips

We very much enjoyed our time

August 2017 - We very much enjoyed our time at Casa Marco. We got to experience living much like I expect most Italians live in Atrani, climbing narrow walkways from the piazza. Definitely enjoyed the terrace and view. The apartment was well furnished and had everything we wanted/needed. Loved the location, among the local people more than tourists.

Summer In Italy handled arrangements promptly and professionally. Communications were excellent. Would use them again and recommend to others.

Travel tips

We would highly recommend Casa Marco and would stay here again

July 2017 - We were a family of 4 and loved Atrani and Casa Marco. The terrace is fabulous with loads of space, a big table and lots of drying lines/rack. The living room is lovely and airy with a fabulous high ceiling and lots of comfy seating. The kitchen is small but adequate. There is a washing machine and dishwasher. We had a few power cuts but not a problem as we were shown the switches to turn everything back in again. It was very hot when we were there and the breeze from the window and doors on the terrace provided a welcome breeze.

We loved the location of Casa Marco. Close to everything yet enough steps to make you feel part of the town. We would highly recommend Casa Marco and would stay here again.

Summer In Italy have been a delight to book with. Helpful and informative before, during and after. I would be very happy to recommend and to book through in the future.

It had everything we needed for a wonderful stay

July 2017 - Previous to coming to Atrani we had stayed in Rome for 10 days so we were exhausted. However once getting to Atrani we felt so much more relaxed, and then walking into Casa Marco and seeing that amazing view from the living room and terrace was so refreshing and beautiful.

Casa Marco was bigger than the pictures show. There is no air conditioning but even in the extreme heat of July, it stayed decently cool inside because of the soft sea breeze coming in the windows and doors. There is a fishing/nautical feel about the place and is light and airy. It had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. We bought some groceries and had breakfast at home everyday however having the piazza so close and the amazing food at good prices we found we ate the rest of our meals there.

We stayed for 10 days at Casa Marco and it just so happened that on the last weekend we were there, they were celebrating St Maria Maddalena so we found ourselves immersed with everything Italy. For two days from 6:30 am until 1:00 in the morning they celebrated St Maria Maddalena and wow she must have been something else!! From world class opera singers in all their finery singing down in the piazza and jaw dropping big brass bands lead by tux and tail wearing conductors, to bells tolling all day long echoing and reverberating throughout the narrow alleyways and off the mountain walls... All followed by a heart pounding cataclysmic fireworks show. Thank you for the send off Atrani... Bravo!!

Meeting with Marco [the owner] at the arrival went as planned, no waiting at all, and he was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He spoke very good English and helped our daughter with her baggage as we climbed the steps to his house. It was very close to the piazza and the amount of steps to climb wasn't a big deal. Carrying luggage after a long trip wasn't the easiest but once we were settled and just enjoying Atrani, the stairs were no problem. Thank you for renting out your lovely casa to us. We enjoyed it immensely. If we ever come to Atrani again we'd love to rent Casa Marco again.

Summer In Italy made the whole experience of renting something in a country you aren't familiar with so much easier and it helped a lot to know that if there was a language issue we could have you help us out. Thank you for all your assistance. Your news letters are the best!!

Fantastic stay

September 2016 - Our stay at Casa Marco was fantastic. The value for this rental given its location is superb, even if there are a few modern conveniences missing - AC and Wi-Fi would've been the cherry on top of our stay. The terrace alone is worth every penny for reading, sipping limoncello and watching sea.

Your service was very helpful and made our stay in Atrani smooth and enjoyable. I'll be sure to recommend Summer In Italy properties to anyone planning a trip to Italy (and for our return trip).

Great terrace

July 2016 - Great stay at Casa Marco: good position, not too many stairs, great terrace.

Great service and information made booking easy.

Location was great

July 2016 - Casa Marco's location was great, and the terrace was lovely.

Atrani is a lovely small town, quieter and less busy than its neighbour Amalfi which is a quick walk away. For a small town we found plenty of places to eat and were able to pick up items for our room easily. Some noise due to the nature of a town built into a hill - can hear people on stairs and noise from the square for example, but not excessive and you get used to it quickly.

Owner was very helpful when our luggage didn't arrive on our flight coordinating with a local business for bags to be dropped off for us. Good value.

We were referred through a friend - we found Summer In Italy service to be prompt, helpful and efficient.

August 2015 - We loved it, with our two girls we thought the location was brilliant. The town has a lovely local feel and we just thought Casa Marco was so comfortable for all of us.

August 2013 - Really enjoyed staying at Casa Marco. Full of character, it had all the facilities we needed, the view was great and it felt like home whilst we were there.

Especially loved the outside space and amazing view and location looking over the town and out to sea. Kids loved the mezzanine bedroom area.

It was great being a short walk down the steps from the beach and the town square. The church bells were very atmospheric.

You were very helpful and the information pack was useful so we knew what to expect.

July 2013 - My husband and I loved our stay at Casa Marco!

Atrani is such a beautiful little town, away from the hustle and bustle of the close by Amalfi.

The apartment was perfect for the two of us. We spent our afternoons lounging on the deck, sipping lemoncello. The view of the sea and the buildings was beautiful.

I was worried about the lack of air conditioning in July, but the apartment has high ceilings and the airflow makes it cool down. We also used a fan that was provided. So no problem!

We met with David (Marco's brother) and he was so kind. Everything went very smoothly. Thanks!

I loved my interaction with Summer in Italy. Everything went so smoothly!

Travel tips

Very good

July 2013 - Casa Marco is well located in the village of Atrani, which is itself a good choice for the Amalfi coast for those who are not looking for nightlife, but want a convenient spot with all facilities. There's several good restaurants and everything you need to make your stay pleasant.

The apartment is relatively small, but fine for up to four people; probably best for two adults and up to two children. The second bedroom is a mezzanine with steep steps from the living area so it's unsuitable for the very old or very young. The main bedroom is very comfortable and at the quieter and cooler rear of the apartment.

The terrace is a nice spot to sit and take meals, and look out over the rooftops out to sea. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and the beds are comfortable. The bathroom is a little small, but nonetheless functional.

Only issue we had was the church bell which is quite close to the apartment and which rings all through the day (four times an hour). With the windows closed it's OK, but if the weather is hot and you keep the windows open, it may make sleeping in the front (mezzanine) bedroom difficult if you're a light sleeper.

The owners are a very friendly and accommodating family who take an active interest to ensure you are comfortable, and we appreciated their thoughtfulness.

Thanks for providing a great level of service and a very complete website. Well done!

September 2012 - We really enjoyed our week in Casa Marco.

Davide and Marco [the owners] were extremely helpful and friendly.

We are so glad we chose Atrani, with it's unique atmosphere, and Casa Marco epitomised this -- comfortable, but clearly authentically Italian.

The bedrooms are spacious but the people in the mezzanine need to be fairly agile to get up the steps. We loved the terrace, with it's views of the bell tower (chiming every quarter of an hour!) and the higgledy piggledy roofs.

Don't change a thing! Your service was excellent and a warm welcome to Italy. Thank you for everything!

July 2012 - We really enjoyed our staying at Casa Marco. It is a wonderful apartment, very convenient. It was four of us staying - 2 adults and 2 children - enough space for everybody.

Very good location - close to the beach and all local food shops and restaurants.

Next time in Italy, we will use Summer in Italy again! Very professional, pleasant to deal with.

September 2011 - We loved Casa Marco. The location was perfect and although the bells seemed noisy at first as the villa is right next door, we got used to them very quickly and they became part of our day.

Although the fixtures and furnishings aren't luxurious,this is a lovely homely villa and was perfect for what we wanted.

The owner and his sons were wonderful, friendly and very helpful the one time we needed to contact them.

The village of Atrani is perfect as you're away from over crowded Amalfi but the village square is still lively.

August 2011 - We loved being so close to the centre of Atrani, despite the steps, and the roof terrace was wonderful.

June 2011 - Fantastic base in Atrani. We loved our stay. Two couples shared the property and found there was plenty of room. Loved sitting on the balcony with breakfast in the morning or a glass of wine in the afternoon.

Really close for walking to Amalfi but we did love spending time in Atrani.

Excellent

June 2011 - Very helpful owners. Nice place. Really enjoyed our stay.

Bells are close, as others have noted, and ring every quarter hour - however we did not find this a problem. They did not bother us, they are just part of the background noise of being in Italy and we slept through them ok.

It was great to have so many things, such as washing machine liquid etc provided and nice to have a choice of books to read.

We will stay here again.

Davide, who met us was very welcoming and helpful. We had a small problem that was fixed immediately (with power). Marco [the owner] rang back the same day to check we were ok and offered to come from Salerno if necessary.

Everything was there at the apartment that we needed. We used the outside shower in the laundry as our en-suite which made the apartment very serviceable for two couples.

Summer in Italy are great.

June 2008 - Casa Marco is beautifully situated, comfortable and charming. Atrani is also a great place to experience and explore the Amalfi coast.

Marco [the owner] and family were very helpful and friendly.

The apartment does get some noise from the square and passing people and the bells but that is part and parcel of being in the centre of Atrani and did not detract from the holiday.

I would happily recommend Casa Marco as a great location to enjoy a holiday on the Amalfi Coast.

September 2007 - I visited Casa Marco with my sister and two cousins in September.

Casa Marco easily accommodated four adults. The view from the outdoor terrace is beautiful. The decor is understated, comfortable and contemporary.

The location is central to everything the Amalfi coast has to offer.

Marco [the owner] was kind enough to bring us the keys to Casa Marco in the early evening and even helped us carry our luggage up the steps.

We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to other vacationers. The property was everything we expected and more. We will be sending all of our friends who want to visit the Amalfi Coast to Casa Marco!

Summer in Italy is professional, dependable and thorough. We booked Casa Marco with Summer in Italy because all of the reviewers gave honest and detailed feedback about their experience. It did not seem like there were discrepancies between Summer In Italy's property profiles and the guest property reviews.

August 2007 - We very much enjoyed our stay at Casa Marco. The apartment was light, clean and very comfortable.

We spent most of our time on the terrace which has excellent views and plenty of space.

Marco's brother Deniele made us feel extremely welcome, and couldn't have been more helpful.

All in all better than we expected because of past experiences in Italy. We even enjoyed the bells!

Great service from Summer In Italy - would use again and recommend to others in future. Thank You.

November 2006 - Casa Marco is wonderful! The views are absolutely amazing - far more impressive and breathtaking than we were expecting.

The accommodation is perfect for 4 people. The kitchen is easy to cook in and we had some fun nights in.

Atrani is a wonderful place to visit; quieter than Amalfi but close enough to cultural sites if you want to visit them.

August 2006 - Casa Marco was super and we had a great time - and I got fit with all the steps! Even though there were bells in close proximity, we got used to them very quickly and didn't find them a problem.

It is so nice being able to walk everywhere. We found the locals extremely friendly, especially the Alimentari [grocery store] in the square. I do speak Italian, which may have helped?

All in all a positive experience.

Thank you for a holiday without hitches.

July 2006 - The property is magnificent, church bells a little noisy but adds to the charm of the village.

The owner very hospitable and welcoming.

We had one of our best holidays and will certainly return soon.

Village bars/restaurants extremely friendly. Local shops full of wonderful fresh produce.

We made a big mistake hiring a car as parking a problem. The buses and boats are very good and run regularly for sight seeing the area.

Booking through Summer in Italy was great and staff extremely friendly and helpful.

Excellent

June 2006 - I could not have had a more enjoyable experience while staying at Casa Marco.

The location is absolutely unbeatable -- close enough to the heart of town and the beach, yet far enough away so you are not kept up all night by the noise. The balcony is spacious and offers an amazing view of Atrani and the ocean.

The owners are extremely accomodating -- my luggage was lost and Marco went out of his way to ensure it made its way to the house.

I will be going back to Atrani every summer and definitely staying at Casa Marco each time I go back.

June 2006 - We LOVED Casa Marco. Not a day goes by that I don't miss it.

Marco was a wonderful host and our experience surpassed all our expectations.

Great service from Summer In Italy. Really good directions to the property. Will use you next trip.

May 2006 - Very nice apartment that we enjoyed a lot. The town is beautiful and charming.

The terrace is large, and it was very nice to sit outside for breakfast or in the evening with a glass of wine.

It was great to be in town rather than isolated.

My one piece of advice is to not bring a car. It ends up being more of a hassle to find and pay for parking. The local bus service is excellent, and we used that most of the week.

Great rental agency! Everything was well organized and the owner was a pleasure to deal with.

September 2005 - We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Casa Marco, the apartment felt very authentic and Italian,not just tourist holiday accommodation, which is what we wanted.

The apartment is very well equiped, spotlessly clean and Atrani itself just perfect, really handy for everwhere yet still felt like a small village/town.

Marco is just great, really helpful and friendly and gave us instructions on how to make Italian coffee,when we arrived which we loved, and we even bought an Italian coffee maker to bring home.

Summer in Italy have been perfect too we have no hesitation in either recommending them or using them again. Thanks for a great holiday!

September 2005 - We stayed for a week at Marco’s (as a second honey moon) and had a fabulous time.

We received a warm welcome by Marco’s family and felt instantly at home. Marco speaks good English and was only too happy to answer any questions and help in anyway he could. He also brought us some local specialities and helped us with transport. Thanks Marco!!

The location is perfect for exploring the ancient pathways and if you’re captivated by the idea of discovery and secret passages it’s possible to spend days wandering around the valley constantly finding surprising pathways. The house is situated perfectly for access to the sea, the town and also exploring the hills and if you want to be able to pop to the beach on foot and walk back to the house for shower then this is a great house.

The house has a large balcony which feels really private and was perfect for eating out on, playing games and relaxing. The balcony gets lots of sun but the large umbrella meant that it was possible to sit out at midday without getting burnt. The view of the sea is a little obscured by buildings so if you’re looking for a location where you can watch the waves lapping at the shore from your balcony, Casa Marco would not be the ideal venue. But, it’s great for enjoying the views of the houses and the landscape of the valley.

It would be impossible to stay in Atrani and not notice the clock tower and bell. At Casa Marco the bell that chimes every 15 minutes is very close. This is a small price to pay for staying so close to what feels like the heart of Atrani.

The inside of the house was clean and comfortable with a comfortable lounge. The large double bedroom felt fresh and cool. The kitchen is quite small but adequate: it’s best for not more than 1 person to cook at a time.

We would definitely recommend staying there, not just for couples but also for those with a family. We would happily go again.

We were really happy with your service and have reccommended others to your site.

June 2005 - We absolutely loved Casa Marco. For us, elegance is not important, location, comfort, and ambiance is, and Casa Marco certainly fit the bill! We had a great view, easy access to the beach, could walk to Amalfi, even to Ravello (the guys hiked up and down, the girls took the bus up and hiked down), and loved the quiet ambiance of Atrani.

Our bedroom was nice, the kids loved the loft, we all liked the extra indoor/outdoor bathroom!

Marco [the owner] was a delightful host, went to the trouble of preparing us a delicious caprese salad and giving us some wine and local pastries for our arrival! By the end of our stay, we had met his mother and two brothers as well!

We would go back in an instant if possible, and would certainly recommend it to others! Our only, and very small comment for an improvement would be another comfy chair in the living room. But since we spent most of our time on the terrace, it really wasn't important!

I just found you online, liked your website and listings (it took me a while to decide, so many sounded nice, but I don't think we could have made a better choice!), and very impressed by your service and professionalism. I really dont have any suggestions for improvement, will let you know if I think of any, and would definitely recommend you, as well as Casa Marco, to others.
