Highly recommend

June 2019 - Excellent location on a pedestrian only street. Casa Graziella D is a very clean and spacious apartment in a perfect location. Highly recommend.

Everything was good. A staff member met us and walked us to the apartment. On site staff helped with dinner reservations and lining up drivers. Leah and Guisy were both very helpful.

Casa Graziella D in Sorrento

June 2019 - I can’t say enough about this property or the concierge staff.

Leah provided some amazing support in getting us booked on a semi private boat tour of Capri Island as well as arranging a private driver to take us to Positano and Amalfi!

The property was very centrally located, had comfortable beds and was very clean and quite all you need while visiting this amazing city!!!

I would return in a heartbeat.

Right in the center of Sorrento's shopping and dining district

June 2019 - We loved Casa Graziella D. The apartment was beautiful. It was a perfect location... Right in the center of Sorrento's shopping and dining district, and close to the scenic overlook of the waterfront.

The property was perfect... Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen (which we used for breakfast and afternoon appetizers) for our family of four.

The two managers are the best... They greeted us when we arrived and were so friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We couldn't have asked for better.

We loved it and will recommend Casa Graziella D to friends. Thank you!

Travel tips

  • Favorite shops: Bimonte Christian for cameos. Great linen, pottery, limoncello, olive oil at small shops.
  • Favorite tours: Rick Steves's Mondo tours... Prior to our arrival, we signed up for the small group/shared tours of the Amalfi Coast, day trip to Capri and a Pompeii visit. The meeting spots are a short walk from Casa Graziella. We definitely recommend!!!
  • Food: check Rick Steve's book and check with local guides and the front desk. They know the best places to go.

October 2014 - We liked Casa Graziella D very much...

The apartment had everything we needed. The beds were great, and two bathrooms a luxury.

The location of the property is perfect... In a small pedestrian street in the historic part of the town. Of course there is some noise from the restaurant next door, but that wasn't a problem.

We were very pleased with our choice.

Travel tips

  • Sorrento is lovely.
  • We did our trip on public transport and highly recommend it.
  • The train from Naples was so easy and great price... And takes you past Mount Vesuvius and through Pompeii and Herculaneum...
  • Herculaneum is mind-blowing.
  • We went by Sita bus along the Amalfi Coast... That was a fantastic experience.

September 2014 - We enjoyed our stay at Casa Graziella D very much.

The property was very clean and it felt very safe and secure.

Casa Graziella D is in the heart of Sorrento so it was loud until the restaurant and shops below closed. We just closed the windows and it was fine. Also, the bedrooms upstairs are open to the living rooms below due to the loft style so there are potential noise issues there, but it worked fine for our quiet group. The very narrow spiral staircase was a challenge for bringing large suitcases up and down.

Overall, very happy and satisfied.

Angela and Deborah [the caretaker and the owner] were both very welcoming and accommodating.

Summer In Italy was great to work with, would recommend them. Keep doing what you're doing!

Travel tips

  • The restaurant below, Le Grazie, was excellent.
  • The guys at the tourist service agency down the street spoke English and were very helpful to us planning our trips to Rome, Amalfi Coast, etc.

May 2014 - We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Graziella D. The accommodation was very spacious and well-appointed which make for a nice home away from home. There's air conditioning in the living rooms and in one bedroom.

Staff really made our stay even more special offering exceptional travel advice and tips of places to visit and eat. Viviana was very helpful and personable, she gave us many tips for great places to visit (via train) and best place for gelato or pizza, etc... She was delightful and even surprised me with a birthday hug and best wishes on our last day.

Summer In Italy, keep up the great work and continue to find more vacation gems in Italy.

Travel tips

  • Casa Graziella D is centrally located to most attractions in Sorrento. It's within minutes to restaurants, 15 minutes walk to the ferries going to Capri and 15 minutes walk to the train station going to Naples, Pompeii, etc...
  • Being is in the heart of Sorrento,it is also a great place to shopping for gifts and Limoncello!
  • Many places to buy food and a variety of grocery stores or small fruit market and specialty food stores nearby.
  • There's a nice restaurant just next to the property where you can dine or take-out good pizza, however there are many to choose from just around the corner too.
  • Also it's in a safe neighborhood and we felt comfortable walking out at night onto the lively side streets of Sorrento.
  • We were glad we did not hire a car since public transit is good. Also, the property is located in a pedestrian street off of the main streets so it was good that we hired a car transfer service to take us there.
  • If going to any of the islands, be sure to buy tickets for the boat at least a day in advance. If going to Capri well worth the additional 5 euro if you want to ensure you get a seat at the earlier time and at the later time.
  • Capri and Anacapri are well worth 1-2 days, if you wish to see all the attractions, stroll, go up the chairlift or just enjoy the sights.
  • Better selection and more reasonable priced restaurants at Anacapri.

June 2013 - Casa Graziella D was very clean and roomy. It had everything that was needed in the apartment. It was perfectly located in the historic area, as it was close to the beach, stores, restaurants, and the historical sites in that area.

We were very pleased with this property and would definitely rent it again. The ladies that worked there were extremely helpful, and we were actually met in the piazza upon arrival and walked to the apartment, which was very nice as I don't think that we would have located it otherwise. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

Travel tips

  • This property was an easy walk to the train station to Pompeii, and I would recommend going there. It was amazing!
  • There were so many restaurants around, but the one that we liked best was O'Murzill. This was a very small place on Via Dell'Accademia, but the owners were wonderful and the food was delicious!

June 2013 - Just a fantastic location right in the heart of Sorrento lively town. Restaurants, beach, water, town center all within minutes walk.

Very good place for 4, but can fit 5 if need be. Owner was very helpful.

Summer in Italy was extremely helpful and everything was as advertised. I would book again with Summer in Italy.

Travel tips

  • To get to the top floor where two bedrooms are you need to climb a vertical spiral staircase. Elderly may have an issue but can be accommodated on lower level.
  • Bathrooms very small but good and well kept.

May 2013 - Casa Graziella was great! Perfect location, and Daniela [the owner] was so helpful.

The apartment had all the comforts needed to make a great vacation! We would recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely apartment in the center of Sorrento. We hope to return soon.

Travel tips

  • Case Graziella was close to all attractions: walking distance to all Sorrento sights, markets, and fabulous restaurants. Close to ferry to Capri and Amalfi. Close to buses and trains to all tourist points of interest.

Perfectly equipped with everything one needs. Very, very, hospitable concierge - Pina.

October 2012 - We really enjoyed Casa Graziella D.

The location is the best. Walking distance to restaurants, main piazza Tasso, beach and marina, bus and train stations.

We loved the cosiness of the building and the apartment. I have already recommended this apartment to other future travellers.

The only things to be aware of is that some of the apartments have loft like bedrooms that are open to the living space. If you are travelling with others you must understand that noise and light carry to the loft style bedrooms. Also, some of the apartments have spiral staircases. This may not work for young children or seniors. It worked fine for us, although challenging to get suitcases up the spiral staircase.

For this particular apartment there was a balcony that opened to the restaurant below.

It would be noisy late at night when the outdoor seating was being broken down for the night. Closing up the windows helped for the most part. It was warm while we were staying, so we closed up the windows at night and put on the air conditioning.

We loved the property. We hope to return.

I thought Summer In Italy did a great job in communicating about the apartment availability, the deposit time frames, the final arrival times. I have recommended Summer In Italy to future travellers.

Travel tips

  • Several recommended restaurants are very close to the apartment. The Pizzeria La Grazie is right out the front door and absolutely delicious. The staff at the restaurant are very friendly and would always greet us with smiles whether or not we were eating with them or just walking through.
  • There is a travel agency a couple of doors down from the apartment that can help with tours and transfer to the airport.
  • The apartment is walking distance to almost anything you are going to do in the Sorrento area.

May 2012 - Casa Graziella D was a wonderful place to stay in Sorrento.

The location was perfect. Very close to restaurants, shopping and the train station for travelling from Naples. The bus was also there which was great to travel the coast to Positano, Amalfi and other towns.

The beautiful view overlooking the sea was a couple of minutes walk away.

A bit of a trek down to the beach but there is an elevator to use for 1 euro each way if you wish.

The bedrooms were roomy and bright with large closets. The bathrooms were nice and modern with nice showers.

The apartment had everything you need for staying in for meals if you wanted. Large supermarket was close by.

Daniela [the owner] was wonderful to deal with, showing us everything we needed to know about the apartment and the area.

There is a spiral staircase to the bedrooms upstairs. Bringing large luggage up the stairs could prove a little difficult.

Would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone travelling to Sorrento. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Travel tips

  • You are literally a few steps from the best and longest shopping street in the area, Via San Cesareo.
  • There are so many terrific restaurants very close by. One that was exceptionally good was La Lanterna Due Ami, just a street away.
  • Would definitely recommend taking the Sita Bus along the coast to Amalfi, only 7.20 euros. The views were spectacular! Be sure to arrive really early for the bus in order to get a seat. They fill up quickly and do standing room and you may not get the best views if standing.

May 2012 - Excellent location in the heart of old town near to shops and restaurants.

Apartment is spacious and well equipped, spotless clean. We liked the balcony bedrooms.

There's some noise from the below restaurant but it didn't disturb us. We even liked the church bells 'wake-up call' in the morning.

Summer in Italy staff was very professional and prompt in our communication. Thank you! We couldn't have chosen better!

April 2012 - We really enjoyed our visit so much so we hope to return next year.

It was a perfect base for our daughters wedding at the cloisters and the staff were faultless.

The only downside was the building work on the pizzeria next door but we were out of season so can't really complain

Luca and Andrea were so very helpful. I have booked property both in the UK and Spain before but the staff were nowhere near as helpful! Definitely will be using summer in Italy again!

Travel tips

  • Enjoy! There is a fabulous reasonably cheap restaurant/pizzeria, Restaurant Buonconvento just a 2 minute walk away, great pizza and pasta.: We have been to Sorrento many times and all we would say is walk and get the local buses and trains rather than organised tours. Do the open bus tour at the start of your stay and then go back and visit some of the lovely spots you drive through.
  • Don't forget to visit Amalfi and Pompeii!

October 2011 - Overall the stay was enjoyable and the manager Giuseppina was very helpful. Keep up the good work, congratulations and compliments on the presentation and high standard of accommodation.

Many thanks for the high standard of service you provided before our arrival and occupation of the property. Also thank you for arranging an additional nights accommodation due to changes in our plans. We are extremely appreciative of you service. Thanks for everything Ciao.

Travel tips

  • The property (Graziella D) overlooks a small laneway thoroughfare. This is busy area with restaurant patrons, scooters, other foot traffic and deliveries of goods to the restaurant and other retailers. The above though needs to be balanced against the excellent location and more generally similar accommodation and hence location and activities of the area.
  • The apartment is well appointed and very comfortable.
  • In my view any negatives are more than compensated for by the standard of accommodation, location and hospitality of the operators/owners who were extremely helpful and always at our disposal.

May 2011 - My two friends and I just loved our stay in Graziella D. It was all we could wish for, and more...

The apartment is beautifully furnished to a high standard, and extremely well-equipped. It was very spacious and everything was in first-class order. As you can gather, we were absolutely delighted with it!

We were delighted with Summer In Italy. The staff were extremely helpful and answered our emails promptly and efficiently. It is a great website! Thank you to everyone who helped to make our holiday so memorable.

Travel tips

  • Casa Graziella is just a few minutes' walk from the main square, so there are many restaurants close at hand. We particularly liked Restaurant L'Abate, which is about two minutes walk from the apartment, in the small square. A little more expensive than some, but the fish is wonderful!
  • We would advise guests to avoid the little corner shop, close to the apartment, that sells spices and herbs outside. The prices are horrendous and we found similar goods in plenty of shops for a fraction of the prices charged there.

November 2010 - We had a wonderful stay in Sorrento!! The Casa Graziella D is fabulous. We would recommend this apartment anyone who would be able to climb the winding stairwell.

Thank you so much for the fantastic memories.

We will be back as soon as we get the kids through college.

Keep up the great work. All your advice and recommendations were accurate and helpful. Your web site is wonderful!

July 2010 - We loved staying at Casa Graziella D! It was spacious, clean, full of character and charm, and beautifully decorated.

We truly appreciated the air conditioning in the hot July weather.

Its location was very convenient to everything that Sorrento has to offer.

Thanks to Summer In Italy for providing detailed information and prompt responses.

Travel tips

  • We recommend eating at the Foreigner's Club. Don't let the name fool you! Try their so called "Snack Bar" which is actually a full service Italian restaurant with dining on a large outdoor terrace. The food was excellent, and the view of Vesuvio was spectacular!
  • If you have a car, it is difficult to park on the streets, so the best and least expensive option is the indoor public parking on Via Correale.

April 2010 - We found the property to be really well located in the centre of town. Despite being in the middle of everything there was no noise at night.

The apartment was all it was advertised to be and more. The staff were very helpful and courteous throughout and couldn't have done any more for us.

The property is really lovely and well maintained. No complaints whatsoever!

Keep up the good work! We had to organise this holiday at short notice and found your company very professional and efficient. We will certainly recommend you to friends.

October 2009 - We have enjoyed the flat very much.

The location is great. Access is straight forward to any destination.

The flat is more convenient for a family of parents and children than 2 couples. The bedrooms are open to the living areas and therefore there is no privacy.

The flat is kept in a very good state and cleaned during the week. The hospitality of Daniella is just perfect. There is a phone in the flat.

The furniture is very comfortable and the flat is nicely decorated.

The information supplied by Daniela in the welcome file is useful right away.

I feel Summer In Italy are doing a perfect job with all the information supplied. You are very organized and clear and all our questions were answered before even getting there. We have recommended your service to many of our friends.

We will certainly "use" you again for any future trip to Italy. Thank you very much.

Travel tips

  • The location is perfect. 10 minutes walk to coach and train station, an easy walk down to the ports and not too difficult to climb up back to town. The bus from the port to town will charge only one ticket for 2 persons.
  • The main supermarket is on the mainstreet, 6 minutes walk.
  • A daily ticket for the coach will let you take as many buses as you like to travel the coast to Amalfi for 6 Euro per day. The best deal and wonderful trip.
