This accommodation was perfect for our family

This accommodation was perfect for our family. Comfortable, wonderful views, great location, and all amenities that we needed. My only regret is that we were not able to stay longer! No suggestions. It was perfect! Antonio [the owner] was wonderful. He had so much information and recommendations on nearby areas for us. He has thought of everything.

The villa was perfect for us

The villa was perfect for us. We were two couples traveling together. Each of us had plenty of space. The views from the terraces are breathtaking. We ate breakfast outside each morning before heading out to explore the Amalfi Coast. Praiano was a perfect location away from the crowds of Positano and Amalfi. While there are lots of steps to access the villa, it is quite doable. The steps made us feel less guilty about all the great food and wine in the area. This villa is a perfect choice for couples traveling together or families. Mr. Antonio, the owner was a great host. He was charming and helpful. He takes great pride in the home, and it shows. Summer In Italy was easy to work with, communicative and always available. Will absolutely rent from them again when in Italy!

Beyond perfection on every level, especially the host!

This property is like something out of a movie and is a perfect spot to use as a base if you want to see all of the Amalfi coast. The villa is spotless and beautiful and it is obvious that Antonio, the host, takes great pride in it. He keeps it up as one would a home they live in on a day to day basis, and not just a vacation rental property. Nothing is done half way or cheaply. Everything is well thought out and has a purpose for where it is located in the house and how it should be used. As a host, Antonio is perfect. He met us at the house when we arrived to give us keys and explain the minimal 'house rule's and how everything worked, but after that he also sat with us and reviewed our itinerary. With his assistance he helped us revise it to get the most out of the time we were there and the money we were spending. He helped our visit exceed our wildest expectataions. He made us feel like family! If there was more than a 5 star rating available, I would definitely give it. and there are not enough stars for Antonio. Mille, Mille Grazie Antonio! If we ever have the opportunity to get back to the Amalfi coast, this is where we are going too stay,

Relaxing in a beautiful setting

We were greeted by Antonio, and he went out of his way to help us with our luggage, familiarizing us with all aspects of the property, and giving us tips on what to do, where to go, etc.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Fabiola

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Fabiola - the views are incredible from every room and the terraces are magnificent. The villa had everything we needed and was so relaxing and peaceful. It felt like home and is so beautiful inside and out. The home is quite spacious, with plenty of room - easily 2 couples could share or a large family would also have plenty of room. The beds were very comfortable and air conditioning during a heatwave while we were there helped keep the bedrooms cool for sleeping. Check-in and check-out was super easy and our host, Antonio, made us feel like family. He went above and beyond getting our bags to the villa and was so friendly showing us everything we could do in the surrounding areas. Antonio was absolutely incredible to us and we will always remember his kindness and beautiful home. We didn’t want to leave! I read reviews on the net that mentioned Summer In Italy several times and after a few communications through email with Luca, decided I wanted to work with your company to book our stay in the Amalfi Coast. Luca was very patient with me and answered all of my questions thoroughly. He took the time to look for the best alternative options when my first choice wound up not available. The service and devotion to making sure myself and my family were satisfied will make me use Summer In Italy for any future trip to Italy.

I stayed here with my three children and it was a wonderful experience

I stayed here with my three children and it was a wonderful experience. The home is on three levels and had enough space for everyone to be on their own, and a very comfortable kitchen and outdoor spaces for everyone to congregate together. I should note that there are also enough terrace spots to have solitude as well. The views are fabulous. You can easily walk to a small, super cute grocery store to get the necessities, as well as a very nice restaurant (La Moressa), where I had my morning cappuccino with an incredible view, and also enjoyed some fabulous dinners. The walk to the beach (and especially back) can be challenging, but the good news is that public transport goes to the nearby grocery store, which allows for getting to and from the beach, as well as to neighboring towns easy. The best thing about our stay was Antonio [the owner], who welcomed us with such warmth. It started with the fact that we were dropped off many, many steps lower than the home and had to make our way up. Antonio had great spirit and humor and took 3 of our 4 bags on his motorbike, including carrying one on his lap! The home has a very helpful binder with schedules for transportation, trash/ recycling pick-up, brochures for local attractions/ activities - and Antonio walked us through all of it, answering questions along the way. He arranged our trip to Capri, as well as our final dinner to watch the sunset (including transportation to and from). Our flight was out of Rome and required us to leave at 4:30 in the morning and he was a great sport - arriving at 4:15 to check us out and help us get our bags to the grocery for pick up by the driver. He also have us his cell phone and told us to contact him if we had any issues. It was a much more personal touch than I had expected and I now want to go back just to see Antonio again. I loved his parting words: "The first visit is just to understand a place, and the second visit is to relax". I think we were able to relax, but I hope we are blessed to go back for another visit! Great trip.

Excellent location

Excellent location - I will never forget those views and the blue of the sea and sky. The terraces are spectacular and served our need to be outdoors as much as we could. Very relaxing and wonderful vacation. We felt quite safe in this village - it was quaint, beautiful and made me long for a simple way of life. Good organization - I feel comfortable with Summer in Italy - this is my third experience with them and all of them have been more than satisfactory. Thank you SII for another great trip! You will always be my contact for stays in Italy. Hopefully I will be planning another trip in the not too distant future.

We enjoyed our stay in villa Fabiola. The house was very clean and very well equipped. The owner was helpful. It was nice of the people of the grocery store that they delivered at the house because of the 60 steps to the house. We were satisfied to book with Summer in Italy. Everything was correct and everyone was very helpful.

Villa Fabiola was fantastic

Villa Fabiola was fantastic. We looked forward to the end of the day when we would have our "happy hour" on the balcony overlooking the blue Mediterranean. In fact most of our meals were had on the balcony. The view was to die for. We recommend the small grocery store a short walk from the villa for some of the best bread, cured meats, wine and general grocery items. The villa was large, comfortable and you wanted for nothing. Summer in Italy very professional and most definitely use them again and recommend strongly.
