We visited from the USA. Villa Dorata lived up to our expectations. The villa as well as the furnishings were all quite fresh and clean. We visited with our family of 10 including two young grand-kids. It was for a special family event. While we went out every day for sight seeing, lunches and dinners, we spent several evenings at home to enjoy the beautiful terrace, and have relaxed leisurely dinners on the terrace. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Dorata which enhanced our vacation.
The highlight was the Amalfi dinner freshly prepared by a chef arranged by the caretakers Renee and Franco, and served on a beautifully laid out table on the terrace. They also took care of the clean-up afterwards. Additionally, they arranged at our request, for daily cleaning/freshening service of the villa. They were very friendly, helpful and eager to please.
We found out about Summer In Italy through a friend who had rented through them several times. This was our second visit to the Amalfi Coast within three years. First visit we stayed at a villa in Positano. This time we chose Praiano. Both times the villa rental was arranged through Summer In Italy. They are real pros. Their web site photos are very good and descriptions are quite accurate and reliable. Basically, you get what you see. This is significant because anything can be made to look better than it is in color photos. They are very good to deal with, phone calls and emails are promptly responded to. The additional information re restaurants, sightseeing, and other services and tips provided after the villa is booked are very helpful. We hope to book through them again and have also referred them to our friends.
