Highly, and enthusiastically recommended!

July 2023 - We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Abbondanza. Although some of the bathrooms/bedrooms are showing signs of wear (this really is the only little down side), the villa’s location, architecture, views, ample dining room, helpful and attentive staff allowed our family to experience one of our best vacations ever.

It is worth noting that the food shopping and private chef services were a huge asset. They saved us from having to battle the Amalfi coast streets for groceries and the quality of every meal we ate was extraordinary! Home cooked meals at a fraction of what we would have paid in restaurants (only the food cost was charged to us since the private chef services were included in the cost of the booking). Highly, and enthusiastically recommended!

Amazing location

August 2022 - It’s an amazing location next to the ocean with stunning views. It’s truly unique on that front. The outside areas are great and there a many different spots to sunbath, gather in a group or escape to a quiet corner.

The staff were fabulous and went out of the way to help. Not just house stuff but also a concierge service booking cars boats and restaurants etc.

Summer in Italy were excellent from start to finish and very fair in dealing with the COVID disruptions.

Travel tips

  • We used water taxis a lot. Might seem expensive at first but by the time you order cars and get stuck in Amalfi traffic its was well worth it.

The most beautiful villa

June 2022 - The villa was one of the most beautiful we have stayed in during our many visits to the Amalfi Coast. Spectacular views, and a very hard-working and kind-hearted staff.

Travel tips

  • Be prepared for steps to and from the villa and to and from the pool/ocean access. It's a good workout.

Villa Abbondanza will forever hold a spot in our hearts!

September 2021 - Like many couples, we had to reschedule our destination wedding at this villa three times before finally making it happen in September of 2021.

During this process the Summer In Italy staff was always extremely helpful and responsive.

When we finally arrived at the villa we met Yunes, Amelia and Fatima [the local staff]. Yunes, the property caretaker, is a kind hardworking person. He was extremely attentive and responsive during our stay at all hours (sorry about that again Yunes). Amelia is a great chef, we had a very large group and we had high hopes for our food during the stay. Amelia didn’t disappoint. Fatima is the hardest working person we have had the pleasure of meeting. She kept everyone’s rooms, linens and towels fresh and clean. She served every 14 person meal and assisted the chef. We don’t understand how she made that all possible. Thank you so much Fatima for making our stay so incredible.

Summer In Italy we’re amazing hosts and very responsive!

Villa Abbondanza will forever hold a spot in our hearts!

Fantastic place!

July 2019 - Fantastic place, beautiful spot, loved the swimming in both the sea and the pool, loved that a large group of people can have so much free space to spread out in - Villa Abbondanza is a great villa for exploring the area.The week we stayed they were drilling in the hills above the villa and unfortunately this noise was very loud and very relentless right up until 7pm. Fully understand though that this was at no fault of the owners and was just bad luck that the hill maintenance took place the week we were there!

Everything was perfect :) Owners are such lovely people who made us very welcome.

Really happy with "Summer In Italy" staff - extremely helpful at every point of the booking, including the day of arrival and assisting in communicating with the owners. Would definitely book with you again and recommend you to others.

Travel tips

  • Definitely hire a scooter to get around - lots of fun.
  • The owners were incredibly helpful and hospitable making us feel very welcome.
  • The caretaking staff were fantastic and did an awesome job of looking after us and keeping the place in perfect condition - many thanks to them.

Amazing location and amazing villa

July 2019 - Amazing location and amazing villa. Large, warm and accommodating. We absolutely love Villa Abbondanza and would not hesitate to stay again with a large group of people. The location is amazing - a little remote from Praiano but 600 metres from Marina di Praia Beach and restaurants. Access directly into the sea via swimming pool was the highlight and the incredible views.

Thanks Summer In Italy and thanks Christian [the owner's son] for a wonderful experience.

Travel tips

  • The villa is remote from the hustle and bustle but easy access to the main road.
  • Just make sure you are happy with transport from the villa. You will need a car / catch a bus or public transport to get to Praiano or Positano.

We could not ask for a better setting and views

September 2018 - We enjoyed Villa Abbondanza and it was perfect for our group of seven couples. Minor upgrades to the kitchen and to some of the rooms would be useful, but we were very satisfied with our stay. We could not ask for a better setting and views.

Summer In Italy service and attention to detail are wonderful. You were always available to answer questions or concerns and helped with many details. Thank you.

Travel tips

  • The villa is perched on the cliffs of Praiano, be prepared for steps... Lots of steps.
  • The views and location are perfect for a relaxing week stay.

Wonderful villa

September 2017 - We all enjoyed our stay in this wonderful villa.

The caretaker were very friendly, help us to organize different activities, making our stay very interesting. Most of the room have a magnificient ocean view, but there is 1 that does not have windows giving on outside, 1 that has a small window giving on the side of the villa, and 2 rooms that are not in the main villa but at street level almost. We were using 5 rooms on 7, so it was ok.

We enjoyed a lot the pool near by the ocean, the outside dining room, the outstanding views from the terrasse.

Travel tips

  • Use the boat service that will take you right at the villa to visit the coast.
  • There is a service from the grocery store that comes get you by car to make your grocery, they are very helpful and friendly. This of course if you don't like driving the coast. The road area of the villa is quite curvy.

Fantastic

September 2017 - Amazing place. Will definitely be back. There are some great cliffs to jump/dive off of, and a wood-fired oven to cook pizzas in.

Travel tips

  • Stop for food/drink before you arrive.
  • It's not too easy to get around without a car.

Superb views

September 2015 - All 13 of us had a wonderful week at Villa Abbondanza. The views are superb, the caretaker very friendly.

It took us a while to figure out the logistics, but everything worked well in the end.

I was very pleased with Summer in Italy. You were all very responsive.

Travel tips

  • Transportation was an issue in the beginning. We ended up using boats most of the time. They picked us up at bottom of stairs. It was lots of fun that way. Driving was challenging.
  • We also used grocery delivery from 2 stores, which worked very well.
