Beautiful Praiano, amazing views

We had a wonderful time at Casa Farfalla. It was very clean and comfortable. Very spacious. We had everything we needed. The views from our 2 balconies were amazing. Our host Gemma was lovely, very friendly and helpful. On our first morning she arrived at our door with a lovely Crostata, it was delicious. She also gave us miniature mandarins from her tree and lovely sweet lemons. It was very quiet even though we were in the main centre. The little supermarket, pizzeria, restaurants etc were only 2 minute walk away, also bus stop not far. We used bus transport to go to Positano and Amalfi. Praiano is a pretty little village, locals very friendly, not too many tourists. We recommend Casa Farfalla for a great holiday. Thank you Gemma

Wonderful

Wonderful! Our hostess Gemma was so good to us! Tiramisù and limoncello for treats. Gemma may not speak fluent English but she is wonderful in trying to assist us. I would highly recommend her apartment for a place to stay for traveling the Amalfi Coast. We loved this place and the hostess is wonderful! There is nothing to be done to improve this property! We enjoyed fresh produce from the garden! Just lovely and so clean. Summer In Italy will always be a go to for me to look for future stays! This company was wonderful. Our time was cancelled in 2020 due to Covid and Summer In Italy honored our reservation 3 years later without any loss of deposit. That in itself should speak of how wonderful this company is. Always so nice and informative when I had questions and really willing to help with all aspects of travel. Next time I will just let them find the drivers and restaurants etc. The takeaway is trust Summer In Italy they take the anxiety out of the travel and planning! This company is honest and so trustworthy! They are Italy! ♥️

We loved Casa Farfalla. Balconies and view were perfect. Spaces were clean and accommodations were great for 4 people. Homeowner was very accommodating and thoughtful to our needs. Location was close to amenities and the bus stop. Highly recommend! Summer In Italy was recommended to me by a previous user. Very happy with the communication provided, documentation about the villa and all the information on the website.

Casa Farfalla is fantastic

Casa Farfalla is fantastic. The location is perfect; close to the bus stop, a market, the beach, and hiking. The house is amazingly clean and well equipped. The view from the porch is one from a dream! This is our second time staying here and it will not be our last! The host, Gemma, is unbelievably accommodating and kind. We have used Summer In Italy for three of our four vacations to Italy. Top notch crew that is always there to help. Top quality places to stay and very competitive. If you need anything in addition to accommodations they will help. Auguri to Luca and the crew at Summer In Italy.

The place was great

The place was great. Only 10 steps from the main road. Bus stop out front and a fantastic view. Gemma was a great host. Left us with a tiramisu and lots of fruit. I think you guys were great with your communication.

We loved staying at Casa Farfalla and would definitely re

We loved staying at Casa Farfalla and would definitely re-book if holidaying on the Amalfi Coast again. The description of the apartment was accurate and the apartment itself was very clean, well equipped with comfortable beds! The view from the terrace is superb - what can beat a view of Positano to the right and Capri in view in the distance! Signora Gemma [the owner] was very friendly, welcoming ad hospitable and a great help re SITA bus tickets... The staff at Summer In Italy were very professional and extremely helpful and organised. Thank you for helping us to find a great place to stay!

Our terrace was our living room

Our terrace was our living room. What a view. You could not ask for a more perfect view. We could step away from the tourist and relax on the terrace. Casa Farfalla has the Wi-Fi Internet access, so we could stay in touch with home. Gemma [the owner] is wonderful. The perfect hostess. She does not speak a lot of English, but we always manage to understand each other. She goes out of her way to make you feel welcome. She is very helpful, and makes your stay more enjoyable. I have been booking with Summer In Italy for over 10 years. I go every two years to Italy, and Summer In Italy is who I book with for my time on the Amalfi Coast. They are very helpful .

Casa Farfalla was just amazing

Casa Farfalla was just amazing! These are the best 7 days we've spent on a holiday. I can definitely say that with ease. The proximity to the main road with less walking was such a boon. Not that we would have minded if it was a long walk. But the views are just stunning. The older nature of the rooms and the decor inside was so good and it showed the love and history of the place. It's been there since 1889! We are in awe of this place and so happy that we chose Praiano instead of staying in Positano. Gemma [the owner] is a wonderful lady and she took care of us and guided us and told us everything we needed. An absolute gem. Gemma, you're a wonderful Lady! Lots of love from The Botadkars! :) I'm so thrilled we've found you, Summer In Italy!

We had a fabulous stay at Casa Farfalla

We had a fabulous stay at Casa Farfalla! It was perfect for us. It does get very hot on the terrace between 14 - 19:30 in late June/early July, so we used it in the mornings and had a siesta in the bedrooms in the afternoon. The view is spectacular! The house is very clean and Gemma [the owner] was extremely helpful! Perfect, thanks for a great holiday!

Casa Farfalla was such a great spot

Casa Farfalla was such a great spot. The views from your private large balcony/terrace are amazing, some of the best on the Amalfi Coast and all yours to enjoy peacefully. The apartment was spacious and well equipped and the bedrooms all have the spectacular view... Mrs Gemma, the owner lives next door and is such a lovely lady and really helpful. She helped ensure that we had a lovely stay and gave us lots of lovely treats including a huge Tiramisù - which is my elderly papa's absolute favourite dessert so he was in heaven - plus lemons, wine, fruit tart. She really was super generous. Many thanks Mrs Gemma. Also thanks to Summer In Italy team for their excellent service which helped make our stay in the Amalfi Coast so good. Loved it! Found you on line when looking due a place in Praiano. Had never heard of you before so looked you up on line and your reviews were great - was a little worried that they were too good! In fact they were spot on. Many thanks.

This was better than we expected

This was better than we expected. Nice decor, clean and everything that you need. The apartment was ideal to get bus or water bus from the beach to Positano and Amalfi. We would definitely stay again. We had a lovely holiday! The host Gemma didn't speak English but we managed to communicate well. Gemma is a lovely lady and was there when we needed help. Thank you Gemma for the lovely pastry and courgettes. Summer In Italy are really good and always on hand to help with any enquiries. This is the second time I've used them and will do so again. Thank you to all your staff.
