“Wonderful vacation home” My husband, 3 adult children and I recently spent a week in annarosa C in the delightful town of Praiano. The villa was exactly as described and perfect for our family. Everything we needed, for an enjoyable stay and comfortable stay, was supplied. Luca was great to work with as we planned our vacation and when we arrived in Praiano, Fortunata was there to greet us and explain everything we needed to know. She was wonderful. We are a healthy and fit family that doesn't mind a challenge so getting to and from the villa every day was fine for us but be aware that the trip to the villa is up a long steep road and down about 70 steps. It can be a bit challenging with luggage or groceries. But, once there, the villa, with its view of the sea and the surrounding mountains, covered in lemon trees, was well worth the walk (about 1/2 hour from the main road). We hope to return to Praiano some day.

“above expectations” Very clean and very nice decorated. Great view. Warm welcome by the people in the street. Everything what was needed was there. Little shop around the corner. Good parking services in the hotel.

“Gentle, pleasant in every way” This lovely villa in gentle, beautiful Praiano was the reunion spot for my family, May 29 - June 5, after my husband's six-month tour in afghanistan. We wanted a quiet and beautiful place to get to know each other again - kids, 10 and 12 - and have adventures at our own pace. It was exactly what we'd hoped. The wonderful: Ed and Tony, the key-keepers; the view; the terraces; the locals; the location - If you must leave Praiano (but really, it doesn't get lovelier, only more crowded), Amalfi and Positano are short rides away; Capri an easy ferry ride. Easy access to Path of the Gods. Really clean and pretty villa, though not new. Perfect for four. Six would be tight, but doable. Steps not a big issue, except for those who need handicapped access or have a double stroller. Tutto per Tutti, the grocery store, is a short walk and has nearly everything you need - also, it's the meeting place for locals! Bad: I am having trouble thinking of anything bad! I guess the beds were a little hard. Lack of wifi was the closest we saw to an inconvenience, but there are hotels within a few minutes' walk that will let you use theirs for the price of a cappuccino. So, not really an issue. Best: We are not Italian or Catholic, but if you are there on a Sunday, you'll hear lots of people singing from somewhere on the cliff. Turns out the weekly Sunday Mass is on *the roof* of Tutto per Tutti, sea in the background! It's followed by a procession through town; walkway lined with candles and flowers. That was a true highlight, even though we didn't understand a word of the service! After six days at Torre a Mare, we went to Rome, which was a blast. But my heart remains in Praiano - where the air smells like jasmine and it's all about the senses. I highly recommend Torre a Mare and will never forget it.

“Love it, Love It, Love It...” I found summerinitaly.com via a google search... I thought, you never know... But reading reviews on their website, I took a chance and am so delighted that I did. Great responsive, fast service. And our week at Casa alfononsina was a delight. Our contact in Praiano was super-responsive and helpful. We already want to go back! Can't stop dreaming of a return trip.

“Fantastic Praiano!!” LOCATION: Praiano is a lovely town. We had a rental car which in many ways made it easy for us to get around. The villa had a garage in which we could put our car so parking was not an issue there. The villa is located quite high up the hillside from the commercial area of town. There is a bus that stops right outside the villa which makes it convenient and we did use the bus if we were staying in Praiano for dinner. The roads are extremely narrow which makes navigating through town a challenge. We did have to back down the road on occasion to let someone get by that was coming downhill. The villa is on the south side of town so you do not have a view of Positano from the villa but we all thought the view was magnificent, both day and night. The villa was located near a piazza and church which was my favorite part of our trip. We were there over the feast of St. Gennero and there was a lot of activity in the piazza. We would open the doors and enjoy the ambience of the residents just going on with life. VILLA: The villa was very clean which is my top priority in any place that I stay. The furnishings were serviceable. Upon entering the villa there are several steps up to the lounge area. The lounge has 3 sets of doors that open out to a patio area. With the double doors open the breeze is lovely. Off of the lounge there is a bathroom with shower, bedroom, and kitchen. On the floor above there is a large bedroom with a queen sized bed, large bathroom with tub/shower. There is another bedroom with twin beds next to the bedroom but you must go through the other bedroom to get to it. I have back problems and prefer a mattress to be a little on the soft side. I really thought that I would have a problem because the mattresses were firm but I slept very well there. There is a laundry room which is very well equipped. There is an iron and an ironing board. You must, of course, have your own soap. Took awhile to figure w
