Reviews of Villa Gisella B

Wonderful late October stay

November 2023 - We had a wonderful 8 nights at Villa Gisella B in late October. The apartment is immaculate, very comfortable and beautifully furnished, with gorgeous views from every room.

Although we only used the coffee maker and microwave a couple of times, the kitchen is very well appointed with everything you could possibly need to prepare meals.

The outdoor patios are fabulous with glorious views that we never tired of, and we were very fortunate to have mostly great weather during our stay so were able to enjoy sitting outside. Yes, the 90 stairs up to the villa are a lot, but plenty of opportunity to take a breather and enjoy the views on the way up, and the trolley system that is in place to transport luggage up and down is brilliant.

The villa is very well situated in the village and within easy walking distance to several restaurants, little shops and small grocers

. Mrs. Adriana was wonderful to deal with and had the fridge stocked with fresh fruit and a bottle of Prosecco for our enjoyment, and shared a large piece of homemade cake with us one evening that was absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend!

I would look at the SummerInItaly.com website in the future if looking for accommodation in Italy. Very good communication, and helpful staff.

Travel tips

Highly recommended!

October 2023 - The views from this apartment are unbelievable. The unit is very well decorated, with plenty of supplies.

The property manager was very helpful with our arrival, she answered all our questions and was available to help us throughout our stay. We enjoyed the welcome snacks, fruit and bottle of wine.

We would highly recommend this unit for your stay on the Amalfi Coast.

5 star reviews all around!

September 2023 - We absolutely loved staying in this beautiful property. It was comfortable, charming and had incredible views of the coast. The town of Praiano is super cute and the property is walking distance to all the shops and restaurants and an easy drive to the other towns located along the coast. The air conditioning worked great and the bed was super comfortable. The home was well stocked with everything we needed, the attention to detail in the house was very impressive.

We really enjoyed meeting the owner and her daughter who were both very kind, they were able to communicate everything we needed to know and even helped us figure out the water taxi. 5 star reviews all around!

Travel tips

10/10 would stay again

August 2023 - My husband and I loved the villa. The views were incredible, the beach down the cliff was excellent (stop at Mirante Cafe on your walk down or up for the best cocktails of your life). The full kitchen was great and the bed was quite comfortable.

Praiano was the perfect place to have as a home base, good restaurants, easy access to buses and taxis but away from the craziness of Amalfi and Positano. Your buns will get a good workout from the stairs. 10/10 would stay again.

Perfect in every way

August 2023 - Would love to return, wonderful property, location and terrace.

Adriana and her family were nice hosts.

It is my third time booking thru Summer In Italy, it is always a pleasure. Thanks!

Just magical

July 2023 - This place is just magical. Very peaceful home in a quite and beautiful town. Highly suggest! Will be back!

Even better than the photos describe, loved it!

July 2023 - My husband and I loved staying at Villa Gisella B. Both the apartment and the views are even better than the photos describe them. The location is excellent for exploring other towns on the Amalfi Coast. The town of Praiano is beautiful, much less crowded than other places, and has great restaurants. We also appreciated the washing machine and dishwasher. The two outside sitting areas were fabulous with amazing views!

We enjoyed meeting Mrs. Adriana and her daughter, who were both very friendly and helpful. Everything was great!

This was the first time using Summer In Italy for booking a rental. I had no issues and would book another property through Summer In Italy again. Although we didn't require any assistance before or during our stay, I felt that help was available if needed.

Excellent

May 2023 - The villa was perfect in every way! Would love to return someday to this lovely villa and the Amalfi Coast!

Location and terrace are just stunning

May 2023 - Wonderful wonderful property. The location and terrace are just stunning but the inside of the villa is also fab. The little touches - everything that you need - such thoughtful touches.

We just could not believe our luck that we found such a fantastic villa on the Amalfi Coast! Despite the truly dreadful weather we had a great 4 days - just to sit and look at the coast line and the lights of Positano as the sun goes down - and what sunsets! Just amazing. Thank you.

Adriana [the owner] is so welcoming and the trolley to take your luggage from the car parking area to the villa is great! Thank you for such a lovely welcome and such a lovely stay

I have been delighted with Summer In Italy. How helpful you have been, thank you.

Clean, comfortable and with magnificent views

May 2023 - The apartment in Praiano was perfect for two of us. Clean, comfortable and with magnificent views from the terrace out across the sea.

Very clean, beautifully appointed, comfy bed, sweeping views of the Mediterranean and all the comforts of home

April 2023 - Villa Gisella B was nothing short of perfection!!! Very clean, beautifully appointed, comfy bed, sweeping views of the Mediterranean and all the comforts of home. The porch under the lemon trees, the veranda from both the bedroom and living room was so inviting. We spent most of our afternoons relaxing, reading and enjoying the views.

The hosts were very friendly and welcomed us with a delicious pear cake! We hope to one day come back!!!

The 90 steps to the top really aren’t bad. There are many opportunities to stop for a moment and catch your breath all while enjoying the view!!! No problem! The restaurant right next door, Restaurant La Strada ended up being our favorite place to eat. There is a small grocery store and pharmacy just a little further down the street. We walked to Bar de Sole every morning for a cappuccino and croissant. This really is such a special place!!!!

Worth every step!

April 2023 - Property is gorgeous, clean and comfy. Great view and great hosts.

It was as described and we really enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful apartment with a fantastic view

November 2022 - A beautiful apartment with fantastic view from the terrace to the sea or Positano. The apartment is very well equipped as well as the kitchen. There was a parking space for our car and an elevator for the luggage.

Adriana is a great hostess and spoiled us with a fruit bowl, own jam and cake.

I highly recommend this apartment.

Very good service from Luca and his team.

Fabulous location

October 2022 - A fabulous location with an amazing terrace that you won’t want to leave. The apartment is well equipped and spotlessly clean and the bed is extremely comfortable.

Adriana, the owner, is lovely and very thoughtful with kind touches such as fresh fruit and delicious home made cakes.

Although there are a lot of steps up to the apartment, to be expected on this coastline, there is a delightful luggage ‘lift’ that takes your heavy bags up for you.

Absolutely recommend this fabulous apartment and would 100% return.

Perfect, a wonderful stay and a lovely host. Thank you!

Very good communication, would use Summer In Italy again.

The apartment is just amazing, and the view breath taking

August 2022 - One of the best place we have ever stayed in. The apartment is just amazing with everything you will ever need and the view is just breath-taking. Loved sitting out in the lemon grove.

Adriana took such great care of us. Fresh vegetables in the fridge and she even baked us a cake. ❤️ We felt so welcomed. We cannot wait to return one day 😍

Amazing place and host!

July 2022 - We thoroughly enjoyed the location as well as our host, Adriana. She was extremely helpful to us and was a lot of fun to talk to. Amazing place and host!

All of our interactions with Summer In Italy were wonderful and we would definitely use them again, and we'd recommend this unit to anyone!

Travel tips

Perfect location, wonderful host

July 2022 - It's a perfect location at the beginning of Praiano on the way from Positano. Walking distance to the many fine restaurants in town. Also, easy access to steps that take you down to the small beach below.

The property is fully stocked and has all the amenities including A/C in the bedroom and living room, dishwasher and washing machine in the kitchen. The balcony has all the furniture you need to spend the day outside and enjoy the views and nice weather.

The owner is a wonderful host who made us feel right at home and would occasionally provide fresh fruits, vegetables, and home baked goods by basket from her home above our balcony. Thank you Adriana for a wonderful stay, Ciao and hope to see you soon.

The location and town is centrally located between Sorrento and Amalfi, it's a peaceful and quiet location if you prefer that from the busy, crowded hustle of nearby Positano.

Reliable and responsive customer service, all done via online and email. Thank you for providing a credit voucher to our original reservations during COVID and honoring the credit when we decided to re-book 2 years later.

June 2022 - Very nice stay!

Excellent

June 2022 - The apartment was lovely and the owner/manager was great! There was a luggage lift so we didn't have to carry up the stairs (thank God because there was 90 steps!). The climb got easier as our stay progressed, but the steps were worth it for the view! We could see for miles with Positano and the Isle of Capri to the right and the town of Praiano to the left. I would highly recommend this location.

Excellent

May 2022 - This was our second stay at Villa Gisella B and it was just as fabulous as it was 6 years ago. The views of Positano from the terrace are the best on the coast.

Adriana, the owner, is welcoming and wonderful. It is fully perfect!

Summer In Italy protected our booking which was originally for 2020. They are excellent to work with, very responsive.

Excellent

September 2021 - We had a great stay in this apartment which was very close to a good selection of restaurants and not far from a nice swimming spot.

While there were some steps to get to the apartment, it seems like there were a lot more for other places. It’s a good location for travelling to Positano and other towns like Amalfi on the bus.

The balcony is beautiful and is where we spent most of our time when at the apartment.

Excellent

September 2021 - A wonderfully located apartment with a picturesque view on Positano and any equipment you might need during your stay.

I highly recommend staying here!

July 2021 - Very nice and cosy apartment with wonderful views! We could not be happier with the stay.

Very nice host and we felt very welcomed. Highly recommend.

The best view of the whole coast!

September 2020 - Villa Gisella was fundamental to make our Amalfi Coast trip so special and unforgettable, first of all thanks to the best view of the whole coast!

You can enjoy a large part of the peninsula, an expanse of water up to the horizon and Positano to the right, which at night is a real nativity scene.

Garden and terrace are divided and therefore enjoyable at different times of the day, following the shade or the sun depending on your needs.

The house is very clean and Adriana and Michela [the owners] were very kind, smiling and taking care of us.

Summer In Italy was a fortuitous and lucky discovery. Fast booking, kind and thoughtful assistance right away by email and WhatsApp.

Immaculate and the view and location outstanding!

October 2019 - Best place ever! Immaculate and the view and location outstanding! We enjoyed everything about Villa Gisella. Very peaceful.

There is not one thing I would change or want in Villa Gisella. It was decorated with so many nice touches. It felt like we were staying in a family members home!

Summer In Italy is the best. I had a lot of fun communicating with them leading up to our trip. They recommended a few car services at my request to transport us from Naples to Amalfi Coast! We chose Amalfi Coast Transfers service and they were impeccable. Also Summer In Italy helped arrange a wonderful dinner on arrival for my husband’s birthday complete with a tiramisù birthday cake. Just a wonderful experience. Thank you for everything!

It was everything we imagined and more!

AMAZING location on the Amalfi Coast!

September 2019 - AMAZING location on the Amalfi Coast! The view from the large balcony was incredible, especially at sunset – where you have a clear view of Positano lit up at night.

We especially loved staying in Praiano. The neighborhood was quiet and not congested like other Amalfi Coast locations. The best part was being directly between Positano and Amalfi. We felt close to everything. The apartment was on the very end of Praiano (on the Positano side), which we loved, as it made it super easy to drive to Positano for dinner every night.

The apartment had an electric lift for our luggage, which we didn’t expect, but were so thankful for. There are stairs to the apartment, but to be expected in the Amalfi Coast.

The owners were extremely friendly, helpful and hospitable.

We had everything we needed and more staying at this apartment – including a private parking space, a total lifesaver! Apartment includes a kitchen, dishes, wine glasses, clothes washer, air conditioning and so much more.

Can’t say enough good things about this apartment. Highly recommend staying here!

Top stay!

August 2019 - We spent two wonderful weeks on the Amalfi Coast and would rent the apartment again.

The landlords are very friendly, they gave fresh figs and they even lowered a cake on the terrace for us. :)

Everything was great!

August 2019 - Everything was great! The terrace view was stunning!

View from terrace is amazing

July 2019 - LOVED our 10 nights in Villa Gisella B. View from terrace is amazing. I could have spent the whole holiday watching the super yachts and beautiful view of Positano.

Extremely well equipped apartment and lovely Adriana [the owner] and her family looked after us well with gifts of fresh fruits etc. It was all perfect!

Everything went smoothly and I would not hesitate to recommend Summer In Italy.

July 2019 - Very clean, well appointed and a view to die for.

Amazing property, everything you need for your stay with stunning views of the coast line

June 2019 - Amazing property, everything you need for your stay with stunning views of the coast line.

Everything is provided for your every need, the small oven took done working out to toast our bread in the morning but we eventually sorted that with patience! Bathroom a little small but more than adequate.

The view is simply stunning from the terrace to Positano and to watch the boats sail speed up and down and the lights come on slowly at night was just perfect every night.

You need to be fit to climb the 93 steps up to the property from the road which we got use to slowly!

We would recommend thoroughly this perfect hideaway in Praiano on the Amalfi Coast.

Host on arrival helpful and the home made jam was delicious and later in the week a home made cake, lovely touches and 😋.

Recommended by a friend to book with you, first class service from Summer In Italy. So helpful at all times, from booking, during our stay and post holiday. Grazie Mille!

Great location, close to beach, shops, restaurants

June 2019 - Great location, close to beach, shops, restaurants. The view is amazing. The place is really quiet and you can rest properly.

June 2019 - Enjoyed! Beautiful view, very very clean and bright.

The owner was wonderful to deal with. She had the best bedding of all the 7 places we stayed in the Amalfi Coast. It was super that she could speak French so we were able to easily converse. She had a lift for our luggage which was outstanding.

Wonderful thanks.

We had a fantastic stay

May 2019 - We had a fantastic stay. The view was just magnificent! The apartment had everything we needed and more.

It was located near Positano but away from the hustle of Positano. Praiano is a quiet town with good restaurants just a short walk from the apartment.

We would not hesitate to stay there again if we return to the area.

Summer In Italy was easy to work with and we will use it again if we return to Italy.

Excellent

May 2019 - Easy walk to local places in town - be prepared when you visit Italy that steps and walking are a way of life! 92 steps to the property to get to the town so pack LIGHT and enjoy - after a couple of days it was a matter of getting use to.

Owners were so nice and helpful with any questions.

I would use Summer In Italy again for sure.

Friendly, helpful landlords. We were spoiled with fruit from our own terraces and home-made jams.

This place was amazing!

April 2019 - This place was amazing! Yes there are 92 steps to get up there but payoff is the most wonderful view imaginable.

The apartment itself is charming with absolutely everything you need. The terrace is large and very comfortable. We spent most of our time out there.

The thing that sets it apart from others though is Adriana [the owner]. She lives in the apartment above with her family and she is a treasure! Made us feel completely at home and is just a really, really nice person. Everything was perfect.

Great service and communication.

Travel tips

Perfectly situated at the entrance to Praiano

April 2019 - Villa Gisella B is perfectly situated at the entrance to Praiano and next to the bus stop.

The apartment was immaculate and has been really well thought out. We were really pleasantly surprised despite all the positive reviews, it really is a perfect apartment from which to explore the Amalfi Coast. The view is stunning.

We were met on arrival and our luggage was transported up to the apartment by an ingenious pulley system as there are quite a few steps up to the entrance.

I would definitely recommend Summer In Italy, I've been impressed by the communication level and service from the beginning, it's been a very enjoyable experience.

Very satisfied with Summer In Italy.

Travel tips

This was a wonderful 7 days stay

July 2018 - This was a wonderful 7 days stay at Villa Gisella B. The apartment was as advertised, clean and beautifully arranged with breathtaking views across the sea to Positano. Although a number of stairs up to the apartment we would love to again visit Villa Gisella B for another vacation.

Our host Adriana was the lovely person and met us coming off the bus and took us the short walk to the apartment. Adriana also left us fresh fruit, water and baked us a cake during the stay. Everything was absolutely perfect.

I only found Summer In Italy by accident. I would advertise your customer responses widely as the service provided was 1st class. Hopefully we will be able to book again for our next Italian adventure.

Travel tips

Absolutely perfect and I would 100% recommend it

July 2018 - Villa Gisella B was absolutely perfect and I would 100% recommend it. The place itself is fairly spacious, all of the furniture is in good condition, the A/C works very well, and the VIEWS are amazing. My boyfriend and I ate all of our meals on the terrace - the view is even better most restaurants in town that boast a good view. The location is also perfect, very close to the busiest part of Praiano (lots of restaurants, grocers, the beach).

The owner and her daughter are both super sweet and helpful - though they don't speak much English, we were able to get by just fine. At one point we were sitting on the patio eating lunch and a basket was slowly dropped from the floor above (where the owners live) with a freshly baked cake she had made us - it was SUCH a nice surprise and very delicious. I really can't recommend this place more.

My entire experience with Summer In Italy was great - great customer service, always quick to respond. Thanks for everything!!!

Travel tips

It was simply fabulous!

May 2018 - After reading all the reviews, I knew we would have a wonderful time at Villa Gisella B... And as so many people have said, it was even better than anticipated! We had the most wonderful nine days and can only say the biggest thank you to Adriana [the owner] for her lovely apartment (impeccably presented and with everything you could possibly need) and for her warm and generous hospitality. It was simply fabulous!

Summer In Italy were wonderful to deal with from start to finish. Communication was prompt, thorough and very friendly and helpful. The booking and payment processes were dealt with very smoothly. It was great to know they were only a phone call or email away in case we needed assistance of any kind. We would definitely look to work with them again if we get to travel to Italy again one day.

Travel tips

It was a wonderful stay!

May 2018 - Villa Gisella B is a spacious and well equipped apartment with a double balcony. It was spot less and perfectly maintained. It was a wonderful stay!

The owners are particularly gracious and live in the apartment above. We stayed a week and were surprised on several occasions with a basket being lowered to our balcony with a homemade lemon cake, fresh cut fruit cocktail, a perfect head of lettuce from their garden.

Exactly as described

March 2018 - We loved Villa Gisella. It was exactly as described. The view was amazing. We did not have the greatest weather but still enjoyed the Amalfi Coast.

The owners of the villa could not have been nicer and were always there to answer our questions.

There is a great pulley system that takes your luggage up to the villa as there are a lot of stairs but it is well worth the climb.

The villa was spotless and we were given homemade cake and jam and limoncello also eggs and fruit were there for us.

Summer In Italy seems to have everything very well organized. When we contacted them they responded right away. We would not hesitate to book with Summer in Italy again!

Travel tips

We enjoyed our stay very much

March 2018 - We enjoyed our stay very much. Very well kept up, great location, beautiful view. Obviously, you have to be able to climb stairs to stay here; but that is true of visiting the region, no?

You did a great job.

Ideal location for seeing the Amalfi Coast

September 2017 - Fantastic, would highly recommend Villa Gisella B. It was an ideal location for seeing the Amalfi Coast. The apartment was well equipped and very comfortable.

The owner was extremely helpful. Our baggage was delayed several days and Adriana was always willing to assist with resolving, making some local calls on our behalf.

Good service from Summer In Italy. I appreciated receiving clearly instructions on how to get there in advance of our arrival and providing our arrival information.

Travel tips

We would go back in an instant!

September 2017 - We loved Villa Gisella B, we would go back in an instant! It is super clean, all the amenities you needed were available, just like back home in Canada. The terrace has the best view we have every experienced for such a great price too. Quite a few steps to the house, but you somewhat get used to them after a few days. We definitely would go back... Just need to put some more money on the side as quickly as possible!

The owner Adriana and her family were the most welcoming people. They will provide you with all kinds of information on things to do there.

Had a great experience with your company. My son had used Summer In Italy for his honeymoon back 10 years ago. We would do it again. Thank you so much.

Travel tips

Everything was perfect

August 2017 - Amazing view from the terrace and the best equipped holiday-home that we have ever had. Everything was perfect.

The owners were extremely welcoming and helpful. They greeted us with fresh fruit from their own garden, a home-made cake and a bottle of their own Limoncello.

Everything was good with Summer In Italy.

We loved the location and the view!

August 2017 - Villa Gisella B was fantastic. We loved the location and the view! The air conditioning worked fast and helped us to recover after being out in the heat. The kitchen was just what we needed. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom is small, but everything worked well. We had plenty of storage. We were lucky to be there for the last day of a five day celebration. Fireworks were set off above the church and we had a perfect view from the balcony. We will stay here again!

The owners are very kind -- our luggage was sent up via a pulley system so we did not have to carry it up the stairs, brilliant! The owners left water, coffee, fruit, and tomatoes for us.

We loved working with Summer In Italy. Everyone is helpful and very responsive. We felt like we had a local partner that took away anxiety. The booking process was very easy. Communication is excellent! I will use Summer In Italy on our return to Italy.

Travel tips

Everything about Villa Gisella B was wonderful

July 2017 - Everything about Villa Gisella B was wonderful. It was beautiful, clean and comfortable with all the amenities anyone could ask for. We would not change a thing.

Most important the owner was graciously kind and welcoming. It felt like staying with family.

All the people at Summer In Italy offer the most loving and caring customer service we have experienced anywhere in the world. Many say they offer excellent customer service, Summer In Italy embodies it and could teach others it's truest execution. Luca and Andrea feel more like friends than service providers. We cannot offer sufficient commendation for all they do.

Travel tips

Location perfect for day trips

July 2017 - Villa Gisella B was absolutely a dream, and the owners were so lovely and accommodating. Its location was perfect for day trips to Positano, Amalfi, and Sorrento.

Summer In Italy was very helpful. In particular, helping us secure affordable taxi rides to and from Naples was a big relief!

Excellent

July 2017 - Villa Gisella B was perfect. You cannot do it justice here in a short review. A magical place for sure. Thanks so much to all involved!

Travel tips

What a wonderful stay!

June 2017 - What a wonderful stay! We had the pleasure (I should say the chance) to stay for 7 days at Villa Gisella B at the end of June. Everything was even better than expected and we had high hopes because after all, this is the Amalfi Coast!

The villa itself is a very modern, clean and comfortable apartment with a large terrace overlooking the Amalfi Coast. It offers great views of Positano, the town just North of Praiano. You never get tired of looking at the coast, the sea and the boats below (yes, the property has a great view from above because it is situated on a hill side). Kitchen has everything you need. We had breakfasts and dinners at Villa Gisella B, eating on the outdoor terrace of course. Bedroom is large and has a very comfortable king size bed. Large French doors in the bedroom and living/dining room opens on the terrace. They were always left open when we were there, bringing in fresh air from the sea and the songs of seabirds. In fact, our stay at Villa Gisella B was so pleasant that we only want to come back.

Our host Adriana is the most charming lady. She is so welcoming. The minute you meet her, you feel at home. She wants you to enjoy your stay and discreetly does everything to make it perfect. When we arrived, delicious fruits and vegetables from her garden plus eggs from her own chickens, were waiting for us in the kitchen. This was repeated throughout the week. Adriana even made us a delicious lemon cake one day. Thanks Adriana!

Communication was great with Summer In Italy. I received many emails providing me with all the details we needed for our stay in Praiano. The Summer In Italy website is very users friendly and makes it very easy to make a choice in the abundant listing. The description that was given for Villa Gisella B was very accurate. I decided to book with Summer In Italy because I had the feeling I could trust them. I was absolutely right. Thank you!

Travel tips

We highly recommend this perfect paradise

June 2017 - We stayed here for 8 days in early June and loved it! The view is second to none, with fantastic views of Positano and the sea. We dined on our terrace numerous times as the view is so beautiful. The patio terrace is covered with lemons and just dreamy, with the views of the sea. Villa Gisella B is an absolute GEM. We highly recommend this perfect paradise.

The owners, Michela and Adriana, live above and manage your stay and are available to you if you so wish, otherwise leaving you to your own devices - the perfect balance! Fresh eggs, fruit and marmalade were gifted to us on arrival and a cake made and more lovely fresh fruit during our stay. Everything was great - the owners have thought of everything to make your stay here idyllic. Bus timetables, books, all kitchen facilities you could possibly need and more. A family welcome - they were absolutely lovely! Thank you Adriana and Michela for hosting us. We really want to get back one day.

Well, Summer In Italy found us the perfect place, so it will be the place for us to go to again when we next visit Italy - wherever that may be. Everything was fantastic. Very many thanks for securing the perfect property and we look forward to booking with you again.

The stay was perfect

June 2017 - We stayed in multiple places in Italy and Villa Gisella B by far was the very best. If we could do it over again, we would have stayed longer and stay the entire trip at this house instead of moving to other locations.

The apartment was well stocked with everything you need including fresh eggs, lemons, peaches, and homemade jam made by Adriana [the owner]. It has one of the best views on the Amalfi Coast, with perfect views of Positano and the island of Capri off in the distance. It was located conveniently near the bus stop, approximately halfway between Amalfi and Positano. You can walk to the beach or to a few stores, restaurants and gelato shops. We were sad to have had to leave and are already thinking about when we might return again. If we do, we will definitely be staying at Villa Gisella B. The stay was perfect.

Praiano is a quaint little town that is much quieter than Positano and arguably has a better view. What we loved the most was that it was a truly authentic Italian experience. In Praiano you are away from some of the hustle and bustle of the tourist town of Positano and this let's you experience even more of the Italian culture.

Adriana was an amazing host and the property was better than the pictures show. Adriana wanted to make us feel welcome and one day she surprised us with some of the best Italian desserts we have had. Thanks so much for your hospitality and for sharing your amazing place with us. We hope to see you again in the near future.

Easy way to book accommodations and great communication. Will definitely use Summer In Italy again.

Perfect location in Praiano!

May 2017 - Perfect location in Praiano! Villa Gisella B is a spacious apartment with an excellent terrace and stunning view. Bathroom is small but clean and everything you need is there. Kitchen well equipped, including dish washer and washing machine. Living room with TV is fine however we nearly always used the spacious terrace. Bedroom is good with clean and somewhat hard beds. Walls don't seem that big because talking from neighbors can be heard. Overall Villa Gisella B scored very high on our personal rating list!

Adriana [the owner] is great!! Very welcoming, friendly, helpful and a warm personality. She has been treating us like family and always available when needed. The marmalade, fresh eggs and fresh bread she baked for us for breakfast was a top treatment. Thanks for making our stay so wonderful!!

Contact with Summer In Italy was great. Perfect provision of information, keeping us well informed and contact works very quickly. Well done and compliments for guiding your guests in such a positive way!

We had a great stay

May 2017 - We had a great stay. We've never had a kitchen in a vacation rental that was so well-equipped! The bathroom was a bit small, but not a problem. The view is spectacular.

Our hosts were very friendly and helpful (and presented us with fresh eggs, fruit, and homemade cake!).

One of the best places ever

April 2017 - Stayed here Easter and the following week 2017.

We have been renting week-long stays across Europe for over 17 years - and this is one of the best places we have ever stayed.

It is the Amalfi Coast - so you will need to walk. Praiano is a fantastic spot - Positano is the next town (toward Sorrento) - but it is MUCH quieter. Positano was mayhem over Easter - Praiano - with all the good things it has - felt much more relaxed and was just easier to navigate.

The bus stop was - literally - right outside the gate to the apartment (down the hill).

Our host was one of the nicest and most helpful (and generous) we've had I think in all our travels - there are many good hosts in places to stay across Europe. She helped us out when we experienced a bit of car trouble - was available at any time - and so helpful and friendly. Really marvelous.

The apartment has a fantastic view, a really well equipped kitchen (we tend to like to cook for ourselves when we travel) - really comfortable and 'homey'. It wasn't luxury accommodation - in the sense that the fittings were all marble, and brand new - but it was very clean, VERY comfortable, fantastic view up the coast to Capri. This is HIGHLY recommended.

The perfect place to see the Amalfi Coast

September 2016 - Villa Gisella B was a wonderful apartment and the owner was great. We stayed a month and were always being given something like fruit or a cake. It was the perfect place to see the Amalfi Coast, and we were treated like part of the family. We loved it there.

Travel tips

A friendly host

August 2016 - Villa Gisella's host was friendly and helpful, we were able to have the whole floor and open terrace for the whole stay. Thank you

Would definitely come back!

July 2016 - Villa Gisella B was a very clean apartment and well laid out. The owner had stocked the kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom with all the amenities you would find in a hotel suite. The apartment was located in an excellent location next to a bus stop and walking distance to stores and restaurants. Highly recommended location, we would definitely come back and stay here again on our next trip.

The owner, Adriana, lives upstairs and provided us with fresh vegetables, fruits and eggs from her garden as well as home made jams and deserts through our stay. She was extremely hospitable and bent over backwards to make our stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible. Thank you Adriana and famiglia for a wonderful experience.

Good reservation and payment experience with positive and prompt feedback.

Magnifico!

July 2016 - Magnifico! Villa Gisella B is an enchanting place. Warm, impeccable, easy to cook, a really quiet place with amazing views. Highly recommended!!!

Adriana [the owner] is an outstanding hostess, thank you very much for your warm welcome, we enjoyed your hospitality and your cakes and jams!

Travel tips

Lovely place!!

July 2016 - We had the best time ever at Villa Gisella B. The back porch under the lemon tree worked well when the porch was too hot. The 90 steps were fine, we got better at it! Wi-Fi, air conditioners all fine!! Lovely place!! Will definitely stay there if we go again!!

Adriana [the owner] was so welcoming: eggs, home made jam, info on buses and just about everything! Thanks so much for all the information and detail and friendliness!

Very good service from Summer In Italy, highly recommended.

The view was magnificent

June 2016 - Villa Gisella B was a clean property and suited our basic needs. The view was magnificent. We had no problems with the property apart from the steps and parking being about 1 km away.

We used Summer In Italy after a friend’s recommendation. Have been impressed with the fast responses to questions and would certainly use your web site again and recommend it to friends.

LOVED IT!!!

June 2016 - We LOVED our stay at Villa Gisella B!!! The 180 degree view of the sea overlooking Positano is spectacular. The two terraces are spacious and comfortable. We loved the Amalfi lemon tree and pergola on the small terrace. You have a view of the sea from every room.

The property is spotlessly clean and very well organized thanks to the owner Adriana. LOVED IT!!!

Outstanding recommendation by Valeria! I told her our criteria and she immediately directed me to Villa Gisela B. Thank you Valeria!!! All your communication from Summer In Italy was spot on.

Travel tips

Very special: top appointments OMG vistas, great owner!

May 2016 - We've been in eleven - mostly by the week - self cater facilities thus far in our almost full season driving tour throughout Italy. From top (Alps and Lakes) to bottom (finishing in Salerno, Basilicata, Calabria and Puglia) in this latest immersion (leaving out the whole middle part as I'd soon enough need a publisher) and recalling many others over a lifetime, we've never had better vistas than afforded in Villa Gisella.

It's very possibly our best in that sense but such a thing is hard to admit to oneself. How does one compare an Audrey Hepburn to a Sophia Loren, Bach to Beethoven, Cinema Paradiso to On the Waterfront, buffalo mozzarella to aged provolone? Ed. Comment: Enough already!

Many of the smaller appointments within the apartment itself were above any anticipated relative to the price paid. There's parking and an ingenious rope elevator luggage system included: two great bonus in the area saving so many euros, much hard work and otherwise unavoidable tedium). Additionally, fabulous Adriana and her sweetest daughter Michela [the owners] could not be kinder, more generous and helpful with their delightful little bonus surprises and support.

I hesitate to detail examples save to say they included a variety of delightful tasty edibles, not wanting to ruin the surprises for anyone coming. One night while sleeping there was a strong thunderstorm knocking out the electricity for a bit. Automatically generated light went on in the kitchen so we could see whatever was needed. How many places provide such a service, one among so many extras?

The vistas could not be better. We love Praiano because it has all the strengths we want of the Costa Amalfitana, but with far less heavy tourism, giving it a warm paese feel, and absolutely among the best vistas anywhere. We looked out to a blue green sea below, from THREE separate balconies in your apartment, this one speckled in flowering desert plants, another shaded by lemon tree arbors, and a third perfect option for outdoor dining or whatever from high above.

One of our finer meals in Italy was but two doors away as well. Could one do better for the price? In my mind that is very difficult to imagine and we heartily recommend Villa Gisella as a base for an Amalfi stay, Our next door delightful neighbors in Praiano for the week have been coming for extensive stays over many years and will continue to do so.

Grazie tanto: Adriana and Michela for a great life memory!

Better than the pictures!

April 2016 - Villa Gisella B was better than the pictures. The location was perfect and the view was out of this world. Praiano was the perfect place to stay for our trip to the Amalfi Coast, with a good couple of restaurants within a short walk, and both Positano and Amalfi within a 10 min drive for a more loud and bustling experience.

I am already missing waking up to that view...

Wonderful experience with Summer In Italy!

Excellent

October 2015 - We couldn't believe our luck when we set eyes on this little piece of paradise there, in Praiano.

There are no words to express the experience we have lived. Peace and tranquility softly framed by a landscape that every morning, when we woke up, enraptured us giving the pure joy that results from the insight that such a dream does exist and it is there, on hand.

For my wife and I it was absolutely exceptional, the warm welcome of Adriana and Michela, together with the friendly courtesy of Michele made our stay unique and unforgettable.

Sincere thanks to you all for sharing this little bit of paradise with us. The house and the service are perfect, do not change anything!

September 2015 - Villa Gisella B is in an ideal location with both terraces presenting mesmerizing views as are the views from inside this perfectly appointed property.

We've stayed at numerous villas in Positano and Praiano over the last 16 years and Villa Gisella B ranks up there as one of our favorites.

Foremost on the list of why we love this villa is Adriana [the owner] and her family. They were a joy from day 1 thru day 14. Great, generous family. Keep up the great work! We loved all you did for us and cannot thank you enough.

Summer In Italy process - from beginning to end - was professional, prompt, and spot on. Thank you for allowing us to discover this wonderful family and property.

August 2015 - Had a great stay at Villa Gisella B.

The apartment was well equipped - spacious, good air con, good kitchen (including dishwasher and washing machine). Also has parking although this is offsite.

Villa Gisella B had one of the best views I have ever had - we enjoyed watching the sun set over Positano from the balcony every night, and I was genuinely gutted to have to leave once the week was up. The balcony is reasonably private as well.

Would recommend.

The owner spoke limited English but was still pretty easy to communicate between us. She was helpful when we needed her, but didn't impose on us.

Booking process was easy and all information provided by Summer In Italy was detailed and informative.

August 2015 - We thought that Villa Gisella B was excellent!! Would return, if our travels took us that way again.

The unit was spotlessly clean and well appointed with lots of personal little touches that made us feel comfortable. We are 2 adults, in our late 50s -early 60s, traveling for the first time to Italy and this was by far one of the best places we stayed.

I would highly recommend Villa Gisella B to anyone visiting Praiano.

Our hostess Adriana made us feel extremely welcome from the moment we arrived and had even put some fresh fruit and vegetables into the fridge. Well done Adriana and family we really enjoyed our stay.

We were extremely happy with the contact we had with Summer In Italy. All the staff members we corresponded with at Summer In Italy were helpful and very accommodating. Thank you all. We would also use you again.

August 2015 - We stayed in Villa Gisella B for 10 days in August this year, we had the best time.

The apartment was fabulously clean and the views were amazing. Entering the balcony from both the lounge and the bedroom was fantastic, the view of Positano was breathtaking, literally, you see the whole Positano bay area.

Amazing. Loved it. Thoroughly recommend.

The owners were so helpful and thoughtful, they brought us a home made lemon drizzle cake. Wonderful!

July 2015 - Villa Gisella B is located in the beginning of Praiano and situated a few steps up.

The view is simply breathtaking. You won't even want to go out anymore but simply sit out on the balcony enjoying the view. The kitchen had the essentials (oils, salt, pepper, etc.) so it was easy for us to some days just cook for ourselves.

The beach is quite a hike and not a traditional beach. However it is (in my opinion) the better beach with more room and some bars. After a few days you won't even notice the hundreds of steps going down. Down there you will be rewarded with very clear and deep water. They offer a number of things like stand up paddling and kayaking.

The owners are absolutely lovely. We received a homemade fresh lemon cake on our first morning. Simply delicious! Also homemade marmalades!

Overall this was a great trip, with a great place to stay!

May 2015 - Villa Gisella B is a beautiful and very clean apartment. There is a lot of space for two people. Terrace and balcony are amazing and invite you to dream.

Highly recommended!

We would definitely book with Summer In Italy again. The team is very helpful and assist you on site, too.

Excellent

May 2015 - Villa Gisella B is one of the best apartments we have ever stayed at.

Everything was 1st class, equipment, furnishings all in all a super holiday and we would would have no hesitation in returning on some future occasion.

It was central for sightseeing without a car as it is on the Sita bus route. There are a number of stairs to the apartment, but we did not find it a problem.

The owner was extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We had the most pleasant holiday and would say to Mrs Adriana - just keep on doing what you are doing, it was perfect.

I can't now remember how we found Summer In Italy - just searching on the web I think, but we received all the help and assistance from Luca and Anita we needed and more beside, thank you both we had a truly memorable holiday.

Very good

August 2014 - Villa Gisella B is a wonderful apartment.

Quietly located in Praiano, easy stroll to some excellent restaurants.

Owners are fantastic (and make a delicious tiramisù!).

Great help from Summer In Italy. Second booking with you and we will certainly use your services again.

Excellent

August 2014 - We had 7 glorious nights staying in this absolutely beautiful apartment.

Villa Gisella B was fully stocked with everything you need to make your stay comfortable.

The owners went above and beyond their call of duty answering any questions we had, providing fresh produce from their garden (the homegrown lemons were the best we have ever tasted) and making nice surprise for us.

Don't change a thing! Everything is perfect the way it is.

July 2014 -

Nothing could be better.

The house was equipped with everything and all electronic equipments were new. This house was far above our expectations.

The family that rented this house was also very nice and gave us some of their specialities!

We enjoyed our stay and if going back to the Amalfi Coast it will certainly be to Villa Gisella B.

Very good help form Summer in Italy!
