We will be back
September 2019 - We arrived at Casa Farida and were delighted with the accommodations. The unit was clean and contained all the linens, utensils etc. we needed for our stay.
The views were fantastic from every window and the outdoor terrace. The outdoor terrace was great, we spent a lot of time out there as it was very spacious and we never got tired of the view.
The beds were comfortable and the A/C, washer and appliances all worked well. At the end of our 3 week stay everyone hated to leave as we enjoyed our stay so much!
I highly recommend this unit as it works well for 4 adults and could work for 6. We'll be coming back next year!

We enjoyed Casa Farida as it provided a great location near town
October 2018 - We enjoyed Casa Farida as it provided a great location near town. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were sizable, the kitchen was convenient with a large refrigerator/freezer, stove top and enough dishes. A washer is provided and great to have. Please be aware to be in great shape to walk the approximately 120 stairway steps to get to the apartment from the street level. The view from the balcony was superb.
Summer In Italy was great to book with. Lots of great communication along the way and all paper work details were exact.
Travel tips
- So many great restaurants and shops as you descend the steps into town.
- A large supermarket was right at the bottom and very convenient.
- Transportation was so terrific with access to buses, taxis and the water ferries just a few blocks from the apartment.

Beautiful view over the harbour
July 2017 - Tastefully decorated apartment, all windows and the terrace with a beautiful view over the harbour. Make sure you are comfortable climbing stairs as there are over a hundred street steps from the centre of the town to the front door.
All good with Summer In Italy!
Travel tips
- Take a boat trip to Duoglio Beach (4 € return), a nice beach with clean water 10 min from Amalfi.
- Enjoy the local limoncello from the freezer!

I didn't want to leave!
July 2017 - Completely enjoyed the wonderful oasis from the moment I arrived until I left. I didn't want to leave! The terrace outdoor space was amazing and the apartment was clean and comfortable. Everything was wonderful.
Great web site to book from. Your communication and suggestions were spot on. I would definitely book through Summer In Italy again.
Travel tips
- The small piazza has some great restaurants.
- Loved Maiori and Positano.
- Also loved the Walk of the Gods hike from Bomerano to Nocelle. The hike back, Valle delle Ferriere, was also fun.
- One day we even hiked from there to Pontone and on to Ravello and down to Minori. Hiking is not for the faint of heart, lots of steps so make sure you can handle it.

Views are amazing!
September 2016 - The views from the huge terrace are amazing! In fact, the view from every room is amazing. Casa Farida had everything we needed and we loved the location. If you don't mind all the steps, this apartment was perfect!
Summer In Italy were great at providing tons of info about the apartment.
Travel tips
- No need for a car. You can ferry or bus to every town. We even walked to Ravello.
- The apartment location was great, a little off the tourist area but a quick walk leads you down into the shops and restaurants.
- Hotel Luna's outdoor dining for dinner was our favorite!

Perfect place to stay along the Amalfi Coast
May 2016 - Casa Farida is a perfect place to stay along the Amalfi Coast. The terrace is amazing, the beds are good, the linens could be more modern. Unfortunatly the kitchen is poorly equipped.
Very nice team at Summer In Italy!!
Travel tips
- Leave your car in the garage and make every trip by boat.

June 2014 - The views from Casa Farida are amazing and you could spend all day just watching the activity on the sea!
Location is great but there are a lot of steps to get to it - too many to think of staying here again but we were made aware of all the steps so this was not a problem.
Summer In Italy service was great.

May 2014 - Casa Farida is a high quality apartment, well finished and well equipped. Amazing terrace with stunning views and that gets the sun all day. Good location with a few steps to take you down to the town center. Couldn't wish for a better place to stay in Amalfi.
Travel tips
- Parking in Amalfi can be difficult, the caretaker can help you.

October 2012 - Our family of 4 adults thoroughly enjoyed our time at Casa Farida. The 135 steps up to apartment each day became easier as the week progressed. The views were stunning and the apartment really spacious. The outdoor patio was fantastic - even had a shower.
Travel tips
- The only trouble was parking as there are no garages. We paid to have our car picked up and brought back to us each day.

June 2012 - We stayed in Casa Farida first week in June. Very beautiful apartment, all new decor and very comfy beds.
The best of the house is roof terrace... large and fantastic views... very enjoyed all stay.
Very enjoyed all out stay. Very professional and polite all staff, all emails with questions was answered same or next day. Thank you.
Travel tips
- Please don't bring a car, because apartment is not on the road, and there is little parking in Amalfi (only private or expensive).
- Highly recomend a day trip to Capri by private boat through http://www.amalfiboatexcursion.com/. Was superb!

Very good
Travel tips
- We mostly ate at Antonio's restaurant (not sure of the correct name) but the restaurant is at the bottom of the steps from the apartment. Excellent food and hospitality!
- We enjoyed our visit to Positano although the bus trip was hair raising and because of this we took the water taxi back to Amalfi.

September 2011 - Our stay at Casa Farida far exceeded all of our expectations. We could not have been any happier. There was nothing that we would change.
The location was very central and the views were fantastic. Casa Farida is very well appointed with most amenities and impeccably clean.
The property manager/owner, Mrs Francesca was extremely helpful in all aspects.
I would not hesitate recommending this property to anyone.
My experience from dealing with your company was a very pleasant experience. The interaction and information we received was first class. Our thanks to Luca.
Travel tips
- Whilst the steps were a little challenging, they became easier to tackle each day.

September 2011 - Casa Farida was the best accommodation we have stayed in in our 5 trips to Europe.
The interior design was fabulous. The view from the large veranda overlooking the city and ocean was breathtaking. We spent most of our waking hours up there!
Mrs. Francesca [the owner] was courteous, and responsive to our needs (once). A very pleasant woman!
Summer in Italy is a great service! Thank you!
Travel tips
- The only advice is that if you bring a car, be prepared to pay a 20 Euro per day parking fee (through Mrs. Francesca) [indeed, this applies to most spots of the Amalfi Coast: parking is scarce and very expensive, public transportation is generally good and not expensive, and private transfers from/to the airport can be pre-arranged... worth considering: our staff can help you decide: just ask].
- It is better to ride the bus/boat transportation while you are there, as the traffic and driving are not for Americans!

April 2011 - We liked Casa Farida very much. It was a very beautiful and nice apartment, well cleaned and the beds were comfortable.
The owner was also very nice.
We have had a wonderful time.
We are very much impressed by the contact with Summer in Italy. You phoned us directly when we arrived to Salerno by train to ask how it was and contacted the owner for us. We had a good feeling of that you followed us. I have good confidence and will recommend you to our friends.
Travel tips
- Take good shoes for all 74 steps up and down to the shops.
- Beautiful and great walks around in the mountains.
- Bus and boat are the best transportation in Amalfi.
