Reviews of Villa Micia

Fantastic

July 2019 - We stayed in Villa Micia for one week in mid July. As a family of four (2 adults and 2 older children), we enjoyed the space afforded by the 3 different bedrooms. The Garden Room was occupied by myself and my wife; we enjoyed the privacy of having our own room away from the main house and found it to be nice and cool at nights with a large and comfortable bed.

The property is a little "quirky" but we found that to be a real positive; who wants to stay in a boring hotel room? This property feels more Italian. The outdoor space is delightful with a large shady area and a great view over to Vesuvius.

The swimming pool is good and very well maintained. Although its open to the whole park, it was never really busy.

As previously mentioned, the property does sit at the top of a rather steep hill and our little car struggled to make the incline, particularly with a heavy load! However, this all became part of the fun and caused no issues. A car is really required to ensure full enjoyment of the local area.

Summer in Italy offered us a good service and I liked the ongoing dialogue to help me along.

The view from the garden on Mount Vesuvius, Naples bay and Capri was gorgeous

August 2017 - Villa Micia was a nice house for our two weeks in Massa Lubrense. The view from the garden on Mount Vesuvius, Naples bay and Capri was gorgeous. Perfect for breakfast, and apéro! The three bedrooms are perfect for 6 guests. The separated bedroom and its bathroom, which are built in the rocks a few steps down the garden from the house, were humid. The pool is rather big, even if it is shared with others people. We recommend the place.

Salvatore, who takes care of the property, is very friendly and helpful.

Very helpful.

A wonderful stay

October 2016 - We had a wonderful six-week stay at Villa Micia. It is the perfection location for exploring the Amalfi Coast. The villa itself makes for a very pleasant place to not only explore the area, but also to enjoy the fabulous views from the outside patio areas. It is very quiet and relaxing.

The owner Dora and the resident caretaker Salvatore are simply the greatest. They both truly went out of their way to make us comfortable and our stay memorable.

We have booked with Summer In Italy on several occasions and have never been disappointed. The people there are professional in every respect and go out of their way to make the reservation process seamless.

Very good

July 2016 - Villa Micia is in a beautiful location and has spectacular views of the golf of Naples at 180 degrees. We rarely left the house, for as beautiful and comfortable it was. We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend this property.

The caretaker, Salvatore is very nice and has been helpful all the way through. The pool is also fantastic and Nino, the pool keeper, is a real gentleman.

May 2015 - Enjoyed our stay, great location. Furniture & furnishings dated. Don't expect to do much cooking. One of the bedrooms is very small, the sofa opens into a bed.

Caretaker was very courteous, helpful and punctual.

Very good

August 2014 - Brilliant location. Great pool. Very small kitchen.

Excellent

June 2013 - Villa Micia is beautiful, the views are breathtaking. The villa is very spacious with lovely personal effects.

The garden room is unique set into the side of the hill with rock features in the room.

You really need a hire car staying here as taxis into Sorrento are quite pricey. Mr Salvatore, who is the resident caretaker, was very welcoming and helpful. Thank you!

Loved our stay and hope to return.

Summer in Italy staff were extremely helpful throughout.

Thanks for a great trip!

August 2012 - We loved Villa Micia!

To mention a few points: the location is great, views are magnificent, gardens are green, full of flowers and well maintained, the terrace is extremely comfortable, the pool is great and the people were very nice and friendly. Inside Villa Micia is very comfortable, clean and spacious.

If we have the chance we would very much like to come back to this spot again in the future. And definitely we would recommend others to go visit and share this wonderful experience with us.

I would like to say thanks for all your kind services. We have experienced nothing that disappointed us during and before our stay at Villa Micia. Many thanks again and I hope we will be able to book a next holiday through your organization soon!

September 2011 - We had a great time at Villa Micia and would definitely consider staying there again.

The outside living space is excellent with space to sit in the shade or in the sun.

Th pool is very clean, well kept and fairly quiet.

The kitchen needs updating but was manageable.

We didn't really use the living room as the weather was so good we spent all our time outside.

The third bedroom is not suitable for a couple and if used the main front door is not usable, however this did not really affect our stay.

August 2010 - Overall we very much enjoyed our holiday but some minor improvements (bathrooms/lounge) would make a great deal of difference.

July 2010 - We did greatly appreciate our stay in Villa Micia. The villa is a charming and quiet place and the swimming pool is very useful to rest and relax after visiting the surroundings, especially with children.

Salvatore [the caretaker] is welcoming, efficient and has very good advices about restaurants. Special thanks to Nino that cares very good the swimming pool and is a very nice person, our son Julien did very appreciate his playing with him.

The villa conforms to the presentation on Internet, the proceeding of the payment is correctly respected. The agents have been efficient for special requests (baby bed, baby chair)

We are very satisfied.

July 2010 - View was excellent, apartment itself was not in good enough condition, especially kitchen.

Salvatore [the caretaker] was very helpful.

July 2010 - Fantastic place, I'm delighted! If I have to look for flaws is just a small little kitchen. Beside that is all amazing!!!!!!.

Leisure and the villa was great, view on Vesuvio and Capri daily gave me strength.

Place is advisable.

Excellent

August 2009 - The Villa itself is spacious - apart from the kitchen which I found adequate but small. No dishwasher was a downside, but it was quite well equipped.

The terrace, private garden and patio area are stunning and peaceful. The view is breathtaking and a daily treat and the property's caretaker, Salvatore, was very helpful and friendly.

July 2009 - The villa has excellent views across Sorrento and the Bay of Naples. It is in a lovely peaceful location. The facilities on site are excellent and are kept very clean. The swimming pool is a lovely advantage, very quiet and peaceful.

The villa itself is in traditional Italian style. The terraces are lovely, and very nice to relax on. A barbecue would be lovely on the terrace. I feel that this villa is perhaps not suitable for 6 adults as the third bedroom with a pull out bed is located in the entrance hall of the villa, therefore the main front door is not accessible when that room is being used as a bedroom.

Unfortunately, when we arrived the bedding was not clean. We informed Salvatore, the caretaker, who promptly dealt with the situation, and the beds were changed. It was perhaps disappointing when we first arrived. Overall we had an excellent holiday, a beautiful place, which we would visit again!!!.

Summer in Italy was a very accessible web site, which I found easy to book through. The service has been excellent.

August 2008 - We had a lovely week at Villa Micia.

The shared pool was so well looked after by Franco, it was a pleasure to swim in.

Salvatore was very helpful as the caretaker.

The view of Vesuvio & Naples was stunning & there seemed to be nightly firework displays!

Once again Summer in Italy were a fantastic company to book a holiday with & we hope to use them again in the future. Thanks to all.

September 2007 - We loved our family stay at Villa Micia.

It was a really homely environment and the accommodation suited our family... 5 adults and 1 child...a cot was provided (no linen for the cot was provided) and a high chair.

Beach towels and robes were a lovely extra.

The towels and linen are getting a bit "tired" and for the price of the rental it would really make a big difference to have some new ones.

The outdoor sitting area was lovely... armchairs and tables... just like the picture on the net shows!!

Every communication with Summer in Italy was dealt with in a really friendly and caring way. Altogether a pleasure to deal with... thank you very much.

We would recommend Summer in Italy to anyone...

August 2007 - Generally excellent but let down by two things.

1. The kitchen was far too small. To try and cook for 5 people was a challenge. More thought needs to be given here to space and organisation. Also, no kettle!!! For English people this is essential.

2. One of the basins in one of the bathrooms didn't drain. This should have been checked prior to arrival and repaired.

August 2007 - We enjoyed our stay at Villa Micia very much.

The size of the apartment was ideal for a family, the pool was great, Franco and Salvatore [the caretakers] were very friendly and helped us with whatever we needed.

Overall, a very enjoyable stay.

Thank you for making our stay enjoyable. The directions to the villa were fantastic and dealing with you was very easy.

June 2007 - We enjoyed our stay at the Villa Micia and loved eating on the terrace and patio every night.

Our favorite part was the beautiful landscaped grounds and views. It was like having a real home in Italy!

The caretaker, Salvatore, was phenomenal and spoke good English.

The villa looked just like the pictures.

September 2006 - Very enjoyable - lovely patio and view - when at the house, we spent all our time outside on the patio. We ate there, played there, just enjoyed ourselves.

The master bedroom was a bit "simple", compared to the separate bedroom down below - but it still met our needs - as did the kitchen.

The people there were great - although we couldn't "speak" to some (since we don't speak Italian) we still found a way to communicate, and everyone was most helpful.

Everything was well organized - the information you provided was helpful and you met all of our expectations.

Thank you.

July 2006 - Location was fabulous. Exterior area (deck, landscaped areas) was above expectations.... very very nice !

The "quiet time" at the pool (between 2-4) was odd... this is the hottest time of the day and would have been nice to be able to utilize the pool area.

Interior was good and met expectations.

Getting access to the Villa went without a hitch and Salvatore (on site manager) was effective. We did not need him much, but had the sense that if we did, he would be available.

I would not hesitate to use Summer In Italy again. I have already recommended it to several others. The process was efficient and well organized.

Excellent

July 2006 - Generally speaking it was a good time we had at Villa Micia.

I mean, for instance, it’s not your fault that it was very warm and very wet weather during our stay there... :-)))

April 2006 - WOW! A fantastic Villa nestled in the hills of Massa Lubrense with an exceptional 180 degree view of the bay. A great location within a 2 minute drive of the town center of Massa Lubrense to the left out of the gate (yes it's also gated) and a 8 minute drive to the right puts you into town center of Sorrento.

The villa is in a very quiet location, beautiful back patio and landscape. The detached studio is an excellent place for Mom and Dad to get away from the kids!

This villa comes with a BONUS! His name is Salvatore (caretaker) and speaks great English… He is the kindest and most helpful person, he provided excellent information and if we needed something, it miraculously appeared with in a couple of hours.

Villa Micia made our week on the Almafi Coast as enjoyable as possible!

Summer in Italy - Thanks a million for your great website, excellent customer service and great information. We have recommended both Summer in Italy and Villa Micia to our friends and would highly recommend this site and service to anyone reading this note.

October 2005 - We enjoyed our stay very much at Villa Micia.

May 2005 - A great place to stay.

The patio was just like in the photos... fantastic. We could have lived outside.

Salvatore [the caretaker], speaks perfect English and was a pleasure to work with.

April 2004 - We enjoyed Villa Micia a lot. A great location and view - close to the villages yet isolated enough.

Great garden and porch. Very helpful supervisor.

You offer a great service and a great site - the best I have used so far !!!
