Location and the view!

August 2023 - Great location. Maria [the caretaker] was very helpful.

All communication was very fast.

This was a great place for us to gather as friends to celebrate our birthdays.

Travel tips

  • Everyone needs to understand the steps in the Amalfi Coast. We found Praiano to be the perfect place to explore from.

Perfect place to stay for a holiday on the Amalfi Coast

June 2023 - Such a perfect place to stay for a holiday on the Amalfi Coast. Away from the hustle and bustle of Positano, with stunning water views, clean and presentable.

Summer In Italy was amazingly helpful and responsive.

Perfect location. Beautiful home.

June 2023 - Perfect location. Beautiful home. We loved the walk down to the sea. Coffee in the morning on the patio was Heaven.

We loved it and would book again! Thank you!

Spectacular location, superb panoramic view

May 2023 - Casa Capinera was a spectacular location. It was perfectly placed for excellent restaurants, convenience stores, bars and coffee shops. The walk down to the beach was a daily pleasure with easy access to water excursions and water taxis.

The apartment was light and airy with beautiful views and a large terrace with superb panoramic view. The inside of the apartment would probably benefit from some updating and a power shower in the en-suite. Also, the outside chairs require new seat covers. Overall it suited us perfectly and we loved it.

Maria met us and was delightful. The service from Amalfi Car Limousine Services was faultless. Matteo was wonderful and helped make our stay memorable.

As for Summer In Italy, my queries were always responded to promptly and efficiently. Can’t find any faults!

Travel tips

  • A visit to Pompeii is a must but take a day if possible.
  • A boat trip to Capri highly recommended with stunning scenery.
  • Superb restaurants including Kasai, Restaurant M'Ama!, Restaurant Il Pirata, Restaurant Il Pirata fabulous, Restaurant La Moressa for pizza.
  • Fantastic little bar the other side of Praiano called Café Mirante, a gem of a find.
  • Also a trip to Ravello is unmissable.
  • Lots more to do, see and experience but ran out of time. Did not want to leave this beautiful place.

Loved it!

May 2023 - Loved it! Our view was gorgeous and be prepared to get in your steps. Our place was 68 steps down.

Praiano is a small quaint town between Positano and Amalfi. There are various local buses, one is an intra Praiano that takes you anywhere for 1 euro. To get to Positano it was 1.30 euro.

A pleasant experience with Summer In Italy, from booking in January 2023 to our trip in April/May. Great information and great people.

Travel tips

  • Book a car from Naples to Casa Capinera. Travelling with luggage and going up steep steep roads is challenging... We used Limousine Sorrento Renato Cuomo.
  • Use WhatsApp everywhere.

October 2022 - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would have loved to have been able to stay longer. We actually spent one entire day on the terrace which was a highlight of our trip.

Booking was very convenient.

Travel tips

  • This house is located very close to the Praiano town square which is a great location to catch a bus to Positano or as a pickup spot for any taxi or shuttle service.
  • There are lots of good restaurants and shops within walking range making this a very convenient spot.

September 2019 - Our stay at Casa Capinera was awesome. Both bedrooms are spacious, as are the bathrooms. The best part of the unit is the very large terrace with excellent views.

We were so happy we elected to stay in the quaint village of Praiano - it was centrally located for day trips to the much busier/touristy Positano and the amazing trip to Ravello (with a little bit of time in the town of Amalfi too).

We arrived later than expected but Maria was gracious enough to meet us at the designated location to provide us with the keys, walk us through our apartment, answer all our questions, and recommend nearby restaurants and markets. Keep up the good work!

I learned about Summer In Italy through a friend of a friend and I'm so happy we booked our villa in Praiano through you. All in all, it was a great experience. I would highly recommend using "Summer In Italy" for anyone planning a trip to Italy's breathtaking Amalfi Coast. Luca was immediately responsive to all my email inquiries and provided great advice about transportation around the Amalfi Coast and back and forth to Rome.

Travel tips

  • There are 2 small grocery stores/markets very close to Casa Capinera with a wonderful selection of fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, and delicious breads baked daily, plus, a great selection of very inexpensive but good wines!
  • There is also a cute cafe nearby, next to the bus stop serving coffee and pastries each morning.
  • Restaurant La Moressa is a pretty good restaurant on the hill above one of the markets.
  • In the central part of town, there are a number of good restaurants: Hosteria Il Pino and Kasai are both great!
  • About 300 or 400 steps below the Church of San Gennaro (about half way down to the beach) is a great little place for a drink and sunset called "Café Mirante" - such a cool, chill spot and the owner Ciro is awesome and makes the best craft cocktails! His mother serves and cleans up and she is such a lovely gracious lady.
  • There are too many other awesome spots in Praiano to mention - you really can't go wrong. Buon appetito!

Perfect for our stay

June 2019 - Casa Capinera was perfect for our stay. We were there for a week with another couple and its location was brilliant - close to everything - the sea, great restaurants and a great market with everything you need. We would definitely stay here again.

It was a pleasure dealing with Summer In Italy.

Travel tips

  • The Path of the Gods is a must.
  • Restaurant Il Parata on the water is outstanding - food and location.
  • Restaurant La Moressa also outstanding. Brilliant service and the best pizzas in Italy!
  • The food market Tutto per Tutti (below Restaurant La Moressa) is great.
  • Is easy to travel to Positano, Amalfi, Ravello from here.

The best location

April 2019 - Very helpful and friendly owners and managers. Location cannot get any better. It’s away from the business of Positano or Amalfi, so makes for the perfect get away!

Highly recommended :)

Really enjoyed it!

August 2018 - We really enjoyed Casa Capinera. The house is very spacious, everything was clean and well maintained.

September 2017 - We really enjoyed Casa Capinera.

It was quite clean and appeared to have been recently painted. It's somewhat removed from nightlife, town, beach area etc. but we still enjoyed our week there tremendously.

Summer In Italy were the best when it came to response time and information. I would definitely use you in the future and would recommend you to my friends.

Travel tips

  • The small grocery store Tutto per Tutti has almost everything you might want.
  • You can find WiFi in town.
  • There are good restaurant recommendations in a binder in the apartment.
  • It's a good 70 stairs down from the street to the apartment so luggage was a bit cumbersome.
  • We walked most everywhere so kept in reasonably good shape so we could enjoy the wonderful food.

Very good

September 2017 - Casa Capinera was very well organized and extremely clean. The apartment is simple, no frills but offered everything needed.

My husband thought the bed was too hard. There were no shades in the bedrooms, so the sun gets you up early.

The owner is a very nice lady, welcoming and helpful. Good value for money.

All is great with Summer In Italy, very good follow up and service. Great team.

Travel tips

  • I will suggest a car although public bus stops just in front of the property. Many steps to get to apartment so you may need few trips to get your suitcases up and down.

August 2017 - Casa Capinera is a nice property with a wonderful view. It is well located and the grocery store is at a short distance, really convenient.

Travel tips

  • Our favourite beach was the furthest one (you will need to go down from the center of Praiano). It is a long walk so you will make some exercise (Amalfi Coast = lots of steps). :) With kids it might be more difficult.

Loved using Summer In Italy to book our honeymoon, easy to use and when I called customer service I got an answer right away.

  • A lot of walking done here, be prepared bring good shoes.

October 2016 - Casa Capinera is a great apartment with a fantastic view.

There are 2 spacious bedrooms, 2 bathrooms that ere clean and functional.

Praiano is centrally located, which made side trips to Amalfi and Positano quick and easy, either by car or public transportation.

Summer In Italy was great to work with. They responded quickly to our inquiries and provided all the details required.

September 2016 - We enjoyed Casa Capinera so much... often when you view information and photos the reality fails to match up - in this case the villa was even better than we'd expected. For the three of us, it represented great value too.

We felt instantly at home and very much 'in Italy' (rather than staying in some formulaic hotel room that would have been the same the world over).

The team at 'Summer in Italy' could not have been more helpful or easy to deal with... Thank you for making our first trip to Italy so memorable!

Travel tips

  • The little store 'Tutto per Tutti' was fantastic for everything you can possibly need... a few minutes walk away and the family who run it are so friendly and helpful. (there is a closer store but make sure you use 'Tutto per Tutti'!)
  • We had coffee most days at 'Armandino's' at La Praia beach... charming, good value and serves an excellent lunch too.
  • Make sure you visit Sandulli ceramics studio in the Saracen tower on the path to La Praia - a delightful gentleman and a truly talented artist.
  • A trip to Positano via water taxi from La Praia is not expensive... (there is no ferry stop in Praiano), and it's a wonderful experience to arrive in Positano for the first time by boat.
