About this property

Villa Gisella A: A bright apartment which faces the sun and the sea, with Free WI-FI.

Villa Gisella A is a bright apartment which faces the sun and the sea. It sleeps three people. It is approximately 70 square meters (750 square feet). It features a nice private terrace with a view of the sea, air conditioning (please read description below to check in which rooms the units are installed), winter heating and WI-FI Internet access.
You will be in the center of Praiano, approximately 100 meters (330 feet) from restaurants, shops and the SITA bus stop. You will find the closest beach (Spiaggia della Gavitella) at roughly 500 meters (550 yards) including 400 stairway steps. You will reach Villa Gisella A from the street level going up approximately 90 stairway steps.
You will not need a car to stay at Villa Gisella A. If you do have one, you will be able to park it at approximately 800 meters (880 yards), in a reserved covered parking space, in a fenced yard.

Villa Gisella is an independent house built on a stretch of coast which descends towards the sea. It is part of an old area of Praiano, right in the center of the town and a few feet away from shops, restaurants and bars.


From the terrace, you can enjoy a splendid 180-degree view of the sea and the coast. You will be able to admire the whole fascinating arch-shaped coast where Positano is nestled. Your eyes will meet, far in the horizon, Capri with its famous Faraglioni (stacks – vertical columns of rock in the sea near the coast) and the small Li Galli islands just a little closer.


The terrace will be your favorite place to have meals outdoor while admiring wonderful sunsets over the sea.


From Villa Gisella, you can reach the sea by either taking a bus or walking until the beach "della Praia", about 1 km (about 0.6 mile) away. You can also climb a long stairway (about 400 steps) which leads to a graciously small beach called ‘’La Gavitella’’ placed in an inlet enclosed by rocks.


During spring and summer the beaches are equipped with establishments and restaurants. Several beaches have small boats which take you to numerous and enthralling small beaches along the coast. Don't miss the chance of going on those trips! From Praiano, you can easily reach the beaches of Positano and Amalfi by bus.
Terrace
The terrace is 40 square meters (430 square feet) large. It is partly shaded by a characteristic pergola. It is equipped with a small sofa and two armchairs, as well as with a table, chairs, a sun umbrella, deck chairs and sun loungers. From the terrace you will enjoy a breathtaking view of the sea and of the coastline.

Villa Gisella A is a perfect property to us

Villa Gisella A is a perfect property to us. The view on the terrace is unforgettable, it overlook the sea with Positano in view. We have breakfast every morning and watch all the yachts sails by. In side the house, it is very comfortable and super clean. Adriana [the owner] stocks everything you can think of from pots and pans for you to become a gourmet cook, and enough dishes for you to throw a party! Adriana is a very kind and a welcoming host. The airline lost me luggage for two days. Adriana helped me to make contact, she even went out of her way to drove to Positano and pick up my luggage. WE are thankful for her help. I would have no hesitation to recommend Villa Gisella A to anyone who want to come and visit the Amalfi Coast. Just to mention to get to the villa it is 90 steps up. It can not be avoided but it is worth it, after all Amalfi Coast is build on cliffs!!

Villa Gisella A is a fantastic place to stay, and the large private terrace has amazing views

Villa Gisella A is a fantastic place to stay, and the large private terrace has amazing views. The house is well equipped and very comfortable. It is convenient for bars and restaurants in Praiano. There are shops nearby, so it is easy to pick up groceries. Praiano is a beautiful town, relaxed and quiet compared to some other places on the Amalfi Coast! We have stayed in Villa Gisella A three times in the past 15 years, and we will be returning again! Thank you very much to Adriana [the owner] and her family for making our stay so comfortable and relaxing! Excellent communications and service from Summer In Italy.

Villa Gisella Anniversary Week

Don’t let the 90 steps up intimidate you, they’re not bad at all and you get to enjoy the view every step of the way. Beautiful and huge succulent plants and lemon trees all around you. The Villa is very private with a huge patio and wonderful views of Praiano and Positano. We never tired of the view, perfect setting to relax at night with a glass of wine. The place had everything we needed. Bed was very comfortable with plenty of room for our clothes; kitchen is well stocked (great quality pans) and every type of glass you could possibly need. The place is spotless! Every corner of it! Hostess Adriana and her daughter Michela were most gracious and helpful! They greeted us with a bowl of fresh fruit from the garden, snacks and Prosecco. Mid week, Adriana lowered a basket from her patio to ours with a delicious pie, flowers and some limoncello for our anniversary. What a sweetheart! Both of them so sweet and helpful. Their English is limited (and so was our Italian) but again there’s always Google translator. We enjoyed our stay at villa Gisella immensely (despite some rainy days) and by the way, the patio is covered. The location is perfect, close enough to other Amalfi coastal towns without the business and the large tourist crowds. You are a 5 minute walk to great restaurants , bars, and shops, and beautiful St. Gennaro church. What an amazing stay we had! We are already talking about coming back :) Maria and Pete S

Perfect Spot to enjoy the beauty of the Amalfi Voast

This property is exactly as the photos show. There is a large balcony from which to enjoy beautiful views of Positano without the hustle and bustle of staying in Positano itself. The property was clean and very comfortable; kitchen was well equipped and we particularly appreciated the welcome package of Prosecco, fruit and snacks. The bedroom and sitting room were comfortable and our hostess Adriana was very willing to help out with anything that we needed. There are 96 steps to reach the property from the main road, but this is par for the course on the Amalfi Coast. Adriana has an ingenious freight elevator to get your luggage to your room. We were able to get around by the SITA bus and the local grocery stores were within walking distance for all essentials. There are 2 restaurants close by; “La Dolce Vista” and “ La cucina del Tramonto d'oro” both of which had excellent food, great service and stunning views of the Mediterranean and neighbouring Positano. Would definitely stay here again.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Villa Gisella A

We very much enjoyed our stay at Villa Gisella A. The views of Positano and the sea are unmatched. The location was perfect for beach club, restaurants, groceries, etc. The villa has everything one would want or need and is impeccably kept. If you enjoy walking and hiking, you can also walk to the eastern side of the town. We walked to Restaurant Il Pirata and spent an afternoon at the beach club there. Nothing but great things to say about the villa. Summer In Italy provided outstanding service. Very responsive and property was impeccable.

The terrace and view were amazing

The terrace and view were amazing. Inside was very comfortable and clean with everything you need provided. The owner was very friendly and helpful. She had left us home made jam and fruit - one evening she gave us a homemade cake and a bottle of cold limoncello - delicious! Summer In Italy was also absolutely fantastic - responding very quickly and helpfully to our questions. We will definitely use them again if we return to Italy. Keep doing what you are doing!

Where do I begin to describe such a wonderful place? I would soon run out of superlatives! The property is perfectly located, very well stocked with everything you could possibly need, spotless clean, the views on Positano and the sea are just stunning. But absolutely outstanding is Adriana [the owner]. She is such a loving and caring person, a really "superhost"! She thought of really EVERYTHING she could do to make our stay memorable. The only problem we had was leaving... We hope to be back one day at this magical place. Everything perfect with Summer In Italy. Very well run!

Excellente location avec vue sublime

L'appartement est très bien situé près des commerces, restaurants et arrêt de bus, au pied du Sentier Des Dieux. Il faut monter quelques marches, les valises suivent dans le monte-charge, pour arriver sur une magnifique terrasse ombragée avec une vue sublime de Positano à Capri. Nous avons été très bien accueilli, l'appartement est propre et bien équipé, nous recommandons vivement cette location !

Most amazing view of the coast from our private terrace

Most amazing view of the coast from our private terrace!! The host family members were just wonderful! Their English language is limited (but far more than our Italian) so it took longer to communicate but they were very caring and made sure we were comfortable with our stay, connected us to a great private boat tour company to Capri, and made the celebration of my mother’s 70th birthday there so special. We were also able to hike the Path of the Gods from this property by going upwards. It was a long way up with lots of climbing (and a few times lost) but we eventually found our way and enjoyed the hike tremendously. It took us 5+ hours but even my 70 years old mother made it and loved it! This is the best vacation rental we’ve ever stayed due to the amazing view and hosts!!

A superb apartment in a great location. It was very clean and well equipped. The shower worked well and the beds were comfortable. There is a very well equipped kitchen and good food can be brought in the village shops. The view over the Amalfi peninsula is fantastic, particularly in the evening as the sun sets. The owner is very friendly and helpful and lives further up the hill if you need anything. We had a great time exploring the Amalfi Coast and would recommend it to anyone. The booking process was very straight forward.

A peaceful place on the Almafi coast with great views

The apartment is at the west end of Praiano with very good views over the sea and towards Positano. It was very well equipped with 2 good bedrooms, a bathroom with a good shower and a spacious kitchen/living room. It is well insulated and stays cool on hot days. Outside there is a lovely veranda, which is surrounded by flowers. There are 95 steps to get to the apartment from the road, but when you are on the Almalfi coast you quickly get use to steps. There is an ingenious arial runway for taking the bags up so you don't need to carry them. Praiano is a relaxed friendly village that is a welcome break from the masses of tourists in Positano or Amalfi.

We had a brilliant time

We had a brilliant time. The property was well equipped and we had everything we needed for our stay. It was spotlessly clean and a pleasure to stay there. We highly recommend it. We found the location on the coast perfect for exploring as we were roughly in the middle of the sites we wanted to see. The owners were extremely kind and very understanding about our late arrival and early departure (due to flight times). I have to say that Summer in Italy were excellent in the way they dealt with us for our holiday. Whenever I needed to ask a question they were quick to reply and extremely helpful. If I returned to Italy they would be the first company I would look at.

I LOVED staying at Villa Gisella A! The apartment is comfortable and has everything you need. But the terrace and the view is what makes this place spectacular! There are 90 steps to climb from the road to reach the property. But you are only going to do that once or twice a day! The shower stall is a tad small but there's plenty of hot water and water pressure. I would definitely stay here again if opportunity presents itself. The owner Adriana was wonderful! You were very helpful and I appreciate all the information you sent, especially with the transportation. Thank you very much, you were great to work with.

We could park our rental car in the owner’s garage, reachable in a 10 min walk. We stayed 6 days and did everything by bus because parking your car in the area is almost impossible.

Enjoyed Villa Gisella A immensely. The kitchen was very well equipped for anything you might want to make. The bathroom is just standard but fine. The bed was not as hard as we were warned but that is the normal style. Air conditioning and Wi-Fi were very good and, of course, it's a million dollar view. We ate outside every day on the nice terrace. Even the buses honking around the curve below fades when enjoying that view. Of course it stops at night so no problem sleeping! Everything worked and we were given some fresh eggs and fruit by the owners, which was a nice gesture. Summer In Italy service is great.
