Reviews of Appartamento Ulisse C

A wonderful apartment in a beautiful location

May 2019 - Appartamento Ulisse C is a wonderful apartment in a beautiful location. It is spotlessly clean and beautifully presented. It has a spacious terrace and also a designated area beside the pool. We were extremely happy with this apartment and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We were extremely happy with the apartment and I cannot think of anything that needed improvement.

I am very happy with the service from Summer In Italy. You provided us with all the necessary information to help us enjoy our stay. We booked with you because of your very competitive price. I would be very happy to book with you again.

Beautiful location with great views

September 2017 - Appartamento Ulisse C is in a beautiful location with great views. Although the apartment is fairly basic, it has everything you need and is reasonably priced for the general area it is in. The only thing you do need to be aware of is that there are a lot of stairs you need to negotiate to walk anywhere from the complex. The amazing view comes at a cost of these stairs which can be exhausting to navigate if you're not in the best of health. The pool is perfect, set again in a beautiful ridge but again those steps feature in getting to and from this. Personally I would stay here again, but some of the group did struggle with the steps.

The experience of using Summer In Italy company has been great, have no issues and would use you again when I next visit the amazing Amalfi Coast.

Fantastic

August 2015 - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Appartamento Ulisse C was very good with lots of space, a lovely pool, gardens and the most spectacular view. We enjoyed the walk down to Atrani which is a gorgeous small town with places to eat and a small beach. The location was ideal and I’d definitely recommend staying here.

A few things left in the kitchen by previous guests such as salt, coffee or washing up liquid would be handy as navigating the steep hill and road to Ravello to get to the supermarket is a challenge on first arrival.

Thank you for our stay, it was such a beautiful place, very clean and with well tended grounds. Would recommend to others.

The customer service from Summer In Italy is the best I've ever had. Your communication, information and prompt replies to queries has been greatly appreciated and I would recommend you company to others. Thank you.

September 2013 - The location is beautiful. Although there are 10 apartments in total there is sufficient space for everyone to have privacy and use the facilities (pool etc).

The view is amazing and the town of Atrani is pleasantly quiet compared to the more busy Amalfi around the corner.

The walks around here are great. We really enjoyed our stay.

Excellent

July 2013 - We loved Casa Tertulla. It was a beautiful apartment and you could sit out on the huge balcony all day it was such an amazing view.

The grounds were lovely and the pool area very relaxing. We enjoyed every minute there.

Great communication and very helpful. Excellent company and if I return to the Amalfi Coast would definitely use again.

Very good

June 2013 - We had a wonderful time at Casa Tertulla.

Very comfortable and facilities very good, lots of hot water for bath and shower. Lots of steps but we were ready for this: we carried our 16 month old granddaughter in a backpack. Pillows were rather old and need replacement but other bedding fine. We were bad at recycling which seemed to annoy caretaker but there was insufficient bins in the apartment to divide all rubbish into the six different types.

We will definitely visit again, Atrani was a delight. Summer in Italy could not have been more helpful and we will use them again.

August 2012 - Casa Tertulla was perfect for our party of seven as it was spacious, light filled, and cool with the breeze that was always blowing through the valley.

The location was ideal as it was an easy walk to Amalfi and we even walked to Ravello once. The pathway from Atrani to Ravello runs right by the main entrance to the house. The walk down to Atrani and the beach is about 400 steps but we took our time and admired the views along the way.

The view from the villa's terrace is amazing. The pool area was very beautiful and the gardens well kept. We enjoyed many evenings there after returning from the beach and before heading down to Atrani for dinner.

Atrani was a wonderful escape from the crowds in Amalfi and Positano. The Piazza Umberto I in the village looks like an opera set. We spent many mornings there having cappuccinos and drinks in the evening before dinner. There were several good restaurants in Atrani as well.

We found the caretaker to be pleasant and although he speaks no English he always had someone to translate whenever we had any interaction.

The drive down to the villa from the main road is unbelievable at first but after a few times it was not a problem. This place is worth the trouble. Just make sure you hire a small car!

This was the second time we've used Summer in Italy and both times have had a hassle-free experience.

Good

July 2012 - We enjoyed Casa Tertulla because it had a very nice view over the sea.

Summer in Italy did very well for us. Everything was arranged well.

September 2011 - We enjoyed our stay. The outside space was excellent and loved the pool.

We had easy access to Atrani however not to Ravello. Taxis are extremely expensive, however there is a bus service.

August 2011 - Our entire group loved our accommodations.

One thing we would have loved more, would be if there were queen sized beds vs 2 beds put together.

Overall it was a very pleasant experience.

Nicola [the caretaker] was great. The villa was very clean and we had a fabulous view.

Excellent

August 2011 - The villa is in a beautiful position, perched on the cliff side overlooking Altrani and the sea below. It's a bit of a harrowing narrow snake drive down to the parking space but very much worth it for the villa and view.

We loved the pool which was large and clean with surrounding sun loungers, there were more people sharing the pool than we had anticipated but it was still fine. We had a wonderful time and were glad we had chosen the villa with a terrace.

April 2011 - Spectacular location - great views.

Quite a hairy drive up to the entrance and then down the very steep twisting drive.

Plenty of room inside the apartment.

Lovely walking down into Atrani and across to Amalfi - and up to Ravello.

I think you described this property very well - it is in a spectacular spot and we had a good time. Thanks.

August 2010 - We had a great time at Casa Tertulla. Do not let others scare you about the stairs. They helped us keep fit and we really missed them when we got back home.

Very close to Amalfi. The village of Atrani is charming. Every 2 nights we had fireworks and music. The food at the local restaurants was great.

September 2009 - Lovely Villa with an amazing view and grounds. The grounds has a variety of trees and vegetables which allows you to go and pick your own fresh fruit and vegetables as you wish and for us that was an added value to this villa.

My only criticism of this Villa is the housekeeper. he was very unpleasant and unhelpful. I did not expect him to speak fluent English but he did not even try to cooperate with our broken Italian - so a warning to all the future guests. Make sure you know your essential Italian words otherwise you are TRAPPED!

August 2009 - The house is lovely... The driveway is hellish. Unbelievably narrow, with 8 hairpin turns, and only a small rock wall between you and the cliff. I would not bring a car here again. We drove for a week in the Amalfi Coast and ended up with three major dents in the rental car all sustained in the driveway. Thank goodness we had collision coverage.

Mr. Nicola, the caretaker, does not speak English and was only slightly helpful - he only gave us one set of keys to our unit, which was really difficult for our group of 8, and he did not explain to us how to exchange the dirty linens, so we didn't get clean towels midweek.

Summer In Italy were quite helpful and efficient. The process of renting was very easy. Thank you.

April 2009 - We really enjoyed Casa Tertulla.

Summer in Italy was very helpful during our stay. The caretaker indicated that we would be charged extras for garbage and linens so that was kind of a surprise but you were able to sort it out.

October 2008 - We really enjoyed our week at Casa Tertulla. It was for our anniversary and our eldest sons birthday. The time of year meant there were not so many tourists, so you could feel the real atmosphere of Italy and the locals were very friendly and could not do enough for you.

If you stay here you need to be fairly fit. The local town of Atrani is at the bottom of 390 or so steps. If you want to drive there, you can, it would take about 10 minutes. The driveway down to the villa from the main road is narrow steep and zig zags sharply so the use of a smaller car would be better than say an estate car. The driveway is well maintained though.

If you are in a group it would be advisable to ask for more than one set of keys as it could affect your holiday if you were waiting for other members of your party to arrive with the keys to let you in, especially if you had been out in another vehicle and you could not get through the electronically operated gates with your car.

We would definitely recommend staying here as the villa is well maintained, clean and has gorgeous views down to the town of Atrani and above to Ravello. The swimming pool was a little cold for this time of year but it was still pleasant enough to sit and sunbathe by.

We found summer in Italy to be a very friendly and helpful organisation who kept us in the picture about anything that needed doing.

August 2008 - Lovely comfortable villa with brilliant views over the bay and good rooms.

This villa is built into a cliff so tackling the drive by car takes nerve but you get used to it, the 340 steps down to the town are fine so long as you have comfortable shoes. My 6 year old managed it (and counted) but I wouldn't bring anyone younger and certainly no pushchairs.

Great location for visiting Amalfi, Pompeii, Sorrento, etc.

Really peaceful and quiet unless you have neighbours who stay out late and come back noisy.

I found you through Internet search and would look for you again - perfectly helpful - thank you!

June 2008 - The pool area was magnificent.

The apartment was in an ideal location for walking down to the village of Atrani, be prepared to walk down many steps but it was always an enjoyable trek. The way back up to the apartment by foot was also reasonable if you took your time!!

A bus was also regular to get off at the gate of the villa.

All information was excellent - directions were perfect.

September 2007 - Casa Tertulla was a wonderful villa to stay in while visiting the Amalfi Coast.

It was immaculately clean, great location even with the 500 steps to Atrani! The walk into and out of the town was part of the charm.

The view was incredible and the grounds were gorgeous.

Everyone staying will be returning, we all loved it!

Loved the grounds. Hated driving down from the main road.

Wonderful view and a lovely terrace.

Nicola [the caretaker] was very helpful.

August 2006 - The views were fantastic. The distance to Ravello town without a car is very very far so it is expensive in taxi cabs. However, for those that are fit you are walk down to Atrani (10 mins) and then onto Amalfi (further 10 mins) but be prepared to have to walk back up the steps...!!

Pool was lovely and never packed and the villa itself was fine.

The gentleman in charge of the upkeep is nice but speaks no English so be prepared to communicate the best you can!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Casa Tertulla
