Amazing place to stay in a great village

September 2023 - This was an amazing place to stay in a great village. We avoided all the busy tourist areas and were able to relax and chill out here. Everything was as shown so no surprises with the villa, having the pool was awesome. Would highly recommend this option due to its location and facilities.

Seamless booking, well communicated and no surprises with villa. We would definitely use Summer In Italy again.

Travel tips

  • Being close to the shops was a huge bonus, we loved Bar De Sole for coffee and sweets in the morning and sunset beers and Aperol Spritz - all at very reasonable prices.
  • Dinner at Restaurant Il Pirata and Restaurant Da Armandino down at the marina were excellent.
  • We used the local bus service around Praiano and the larger buses (that's an experience in itself) to Positano and Amalfi.
  • You don't need a car - we had a car drop us off from Naples which was all very easy through Amalfi Coast Transfers.

We were so pleased!

August 2023 - When we pulled up the the entrance and looked at the stairs we never imagined what was waiting at the top. Be prepared to make the climb but what’s waiting is worth it. What a view and wonderful accommodation.

The lower seating area offered a great place to chill and overlook the sea. The 2 bedroom balconies offered a place to sit before retiring. You even have a view from the pool.

We can’t say enough about how pleased we were with the accommodations and the well equipped apartment. I would definitely recommend it but don’t eat to much because you have a lot of walking to do if you want to see all there is to see.

Stunning views!

August 2022 - The views are stunning. You have your own well manicured backyard with a pool! There are even cherry tomatoes growing back there!

The town is quieter than Positano which we really enjoyed.

I would definitely stay again.

It totally exceeded our expectation!

May 2022 - We absolutely LOVED Villa Grecale. It totally exceeded our expectation! We selected the villa for its outdoor space and it did not disappoint! The multiple terraced levels were incredible with views everywhere. I wish we could return again to stay in this wonderful place!!

Praiano was a great location in itself and Villa Grecale is located very conveniently within Praiano. The Amalfi Coast is all about steps - so there were a lot of steps to the villa but it was still a very easy walk to town to get to the grocery or to restaurants.

Summer In Italy was wonderful, helpful and responsive. Thanks for everything!

Travel tips

  • Make sure to check out the other side of Praiano. It’s a lovely town and great to walk around.
  • We loved the Path of the Gods hike, we went up and down straight from Praiano.
  • The restaurant at the bottom of the stairs is great and does carry out. We loved getting food from there an enjoying the great porch.

Could not have been better

May 2022 - Wonderful place and the view could not have been better. A little store nearby and restaurants within walking distance.

I loved that you suggested this place when our first choice was not available. I can't imagine liking anyplace better than this for our needs.

Very good

August 2019 - We loved staying in Villa Grecale. The whole family gravitated to the front balcony for morning coffee and evening sunsets - the view is gorgeous! The villa was clean and well appointed; the floor tiles in the bedrooms were classic Italian. The only thing we missed was having a pool or nearby beach to soak in at the end of our days. The second bathroom sink drained slow, but nothing worth bothering the lovely owners about.

Every single recommendation (for restaurants and shops) from the owners worked out wonderfully for us.

Every single employee at Summer In Italy I interacted with was pleasant and willing to help. It took the stress out of planning (well, almost!), knowing I had access to a knowledgeable company with pleasant employees and extensive online information to refer to. Loved the newsletters! I have already recommended you to friends and we will be using Summer In Italy for our next trip to Italy.

Travel tips

  • Explore Praiano on foot.
  • The grocery store and butchers store give an authentic feel.
  • The stairs are plentiful - make sure you bring good walking shoes!
  • The bus stop was extremely convenient, and the locals were very accommodating with our questions regarding schedules and fares.

Loved

August 2019 - We loved the Villa Grecale. Perfect for 6 adults. Views amazing, huge amount of outdoor spaces and pool is perfect to cool off. Two main bedrooms are so huge and spacious, and kitchen well equiped.

Lucia's husband [the owner] was amazing the day we arrived and very helpful and informative. He helped carry our bags up the stairs.

Staying here was the perfect end to our two months of travelling around Europe.

I had a great experience with Summer In Italy. We booked our accommodation quite late and everyone tried to help us securing a place, offering us other options.

Travel tips

  • We stayed in Villa Grecale for 7 nights in peak time. It's perfect if you are not into huge crowds of people. Everything is there that you need.
  • Be prepared for some stairs up to the villa, but it's very hard not to have stairs when staying on the Amalfi Coast.
  • The villa is very spacious.
  • The local supermarket will carry all your groceries up to your villa for you at no charge.
