Reviews of Casa Agostino A

I loved Casa Agostino A!

October 2018 - I loved Casa Agostino A! The best thing about it was the view - we could see the harbour, sea, coastline and the inimitable Mount Vesuvius straight through our bed/sitting room windows. We were perfectly placed for all the amenities. There was a newly installed lift. Although clean and tidy, I did feel that the kitchen could have been a little better equipped: there were only three sockets to serve four electrical appliances, and the cooker had only two rings. The beds were very comfortable.

As a busy port, it could be quite noisy at night, but it was also exciting to see and hear all the ferries and cruise ships coming and going, and people out enjoying the evening at the local bars and restaurants. We felt very much part of the life there.

Extremely helpful and friendly staff on hand for any of our questions and queries.

As a non-Italian speaker, I found it reassuring to communicate in English with Luca and Anita, who are either very familiar with the local area, or went out of their way to give me the information I needed before I set off for Italy. Thank you!

November 2012 - We enjoyed Casa Agostino very much. It would not suit elderly or disabled people, nor parents of babies using a buggy (stroller) because of the 60+ stairs, but this was not a problem for us.

Not all the rings on the cooker were functional. It took a long time to boil a kettle! An electric kettle would be a good addition, and would probably use less electricity than the old-fashioned rings. Unexpectedly we had to use the heaters (because of extreme rain we got very wet and had to dry our clothes and shoes). The heaters were mounted on the ceilings, and were not easy to use. There were no instructions, and we had to call the landlady. She was very helpful, but some written instructions would have been helpful

Very helpful staff. Keep up the good work!

September 2012 - Casa Agostino A is a fantastic apartment with a great location.

Very easy to get to from train station with a taxi (expect to pay around €20). Barbara met us upon arrival and was very helpful and accommodating during our stay. Easy access to lift up to Sorrento centre (€1 each way) and boats to Capri, Positano and Amalfi Coast across the road at port. Great restaurant downstairs... we ate there every night!

June 2012 - We loved the fact that we walked off the ferry and in a few steps arrived at our villa. Location was incredible - view, restaurant options, it was great. Everything was in walking distance.

While there could be some updating to the unit, it suited our needs perfectly (great to have a washer for cloths in the unit).

We will definitely be back and will recommend it to anyone interested in visiting Sorrento.

Summer In Italy made the villa selection process very easy. Your support was great. I just want to say "Thanks" for making our stay enjoyable! We will be back.

October 2011 - We really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect for day trips and there is a beautiful view of the marina and the coast.

October 2011 - The warmth and hospitality of the hosts were first rate. You'll find yourselves not wanting to leave the immediate area with great food downstairs at Restaurant Ruccio and beautiful views in every direction.

We had a great experience with Summer in Italy. We'll definitely use you again for our next trip.

August 2011 - We loved the apartment and the location. The views out of the windows are amazing with brilliant sunsets. The location was great as you feel you are in the heart of the action and access to ferries are at the front door with restaurants and a few shops.

If you find stairs hard this apartment may not be for you as it is on the fifth floor but otherwise perfect.

You can catch a bus to town 1 euro and to the train station where buses 2 euro and easy to use public transport.

Summer In Italy is a good and professional company which was very easy to deal with. We found you on the internet but will recommend you to friends and other travelers.

April 2011 - Lovely apartment in Sorrento... It is located in the port, so there are about 300 steps to get up to the town [bus service is available], but a great location for those taking the ferry or going to the beach. Friendly, helpful staff and spacious bedrooms.

Summer In Italy runs a great website!... very helpful!

February 2011 - We loved staying at Casa Agostino A. The location and the gorgeous view made climbing the 60 stairs to the apartment worthwhile. We would stay there again.

January 2011 - Casa Agostino A was wonderful!

July 2010 - Fantastic location and views, noisy late at night with motorbikes and early morning with garbage collections. Overall the location won out and I would definitely stay there again but the bathroom needs improving.

Summer In Italy has great communication and advice for travellers in Italy.

April 2010 - A great location - in the hustle and bustle of the busy ferry marina. Superb views, always something going on.

The apartment was comfortable, all the kitchen equipment etc that we wanted was there.

Owner was very helpful - particularly when we got caught up in the volcanic ash flight hold-ups.

Very much appreciated all the emails beforehand and the info received from Summer In Italy. You would have been our next port of call had we been stuck for accommodation while we waited for flights. We will use you again should we return to Italy (and we hope to do so).

September 2009 - Beautiful place! We will stay there again, next time we go to Sorrento.

When we stayed the washing machine didn't work as it should, but I am sure that the owner has fixed it by now.

The building were the apartment is located need desperately a renovation, and yes, the steps to the apartment are really a challenge but the apartment is really cosy and the view from the all the windows, was even better then showed in the picture!!

In order to reach the apartment, and the nearest supermarket, you have to be aware of going up and down several steps, but if you are ok with it, so do we warmly recommend this apartment. The position is perfect if you plan, to use a boat transport to Amalfi, Naples, Capri etc.

Summer In Ital was professional and nice.

June 2009 - We enjoyed being right at the harbor and it was easy to get up to the main square of town.

The villa was a bit of a hike upstairs but we enjoyed it.

We booked with you based on the recommendation of a friend and we have subsequently recommended you to others. Your properties are as advertised, very accurately portrayed on your website. You were very helpful We also liked the driver you recommended. We will be back to Italy and would use you again!

August 2008 - Casa Agostino A was wonderful. My girlfriends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were sad to leave.

The apartment was in a great location, just across the square from the ferry quay, and the view was spectacular.

We walked in to the apartment our first day, and the apartment was even better than the pictures on the website, which is rare.

Roberta, the apartment manager, was very accessible and helpful. And the staff at Summer In Italy was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, from selecting the apartment, to being flexible with our arrival dates and times.

I strongly recommend this apartment -- and look forward to when I can stay again!

I look forward to working with Summer In Italy again, and will definitely be recommending this site to friends and family.

April 2008 - We went to Italy on our honeymoon and stayed several different places in different cities. Casa Agostino A in Sorrento was our favorite by far.

Signora Roberta [the owner] picked us up from the train station and gave a tour of the town square of Sorrento before taking us to the apartment. The apartment is in walking distance of the station but since we were unfamiliar with Sorrento, Signora Roberta's hospitality was greatly appreciated.

We loved Casa Agostino. Casa Agostino is spacious yet comfy with spectacular views. The views from the windows were the best in Sorrento in my opinion. On the nights that we did not dine out, we cooked in the fully equipped kitchen.

I want to go back and stay there again as soon as possible.

I was very happy with Summer in Italy. I would definitely book with your company again. Thank-you for being so organized and easy to deal with.

March 2008 - We really enjoyed the stay at Casa Agostino. The owner was very nice and helpful.

It was in an excellent location, although often noisy at night and in the morning.

There were a lot of steps to get to the apartment, but we knew that in advance and it was good exercise.

January 2008 - We thoroughly enjoyed the apartment and we would stay there again. It was very quiet, the view from the two bedrooms and the kitchenette was wonderful, there was plenty of hot water and the reverse cycle air conditioner worked very effectively as a heater.

As we did not have young children or disabled people in our party the 60 steps from the ground floor to the apartment were not a problem.

The owner and the agent "Summer In Italy" were very helpful – they arranged an early check in at short notice and on every occasion we telephoned the agent we were promptly connected to a fluent English speaker (Luca).

The only other thing that we would have liked was to have had WiFi or cable Internet access and perhaps a small dining table in the kitchen/dining area.

We found your service was first rate, and we basically chose to book with you because the apartment was attractively presented on the Internet and you were very prompt in responding by email to our questions. On your web page you could say that the apartment had efficient reverse cycle air-conditioning which also acts as heating.

September 2007 - We enjoyed our time and would recommend it to others.

There is a 140 step stair case to the town above but we are heathly and it kept us fit, but for others it might be a problem unless the wanted to buy a bus pass each time.

Views were great and in the eveing the ferry noise from crowds was gone.
