Reviews of Casa Isca

Magical stay with stunning views in Praiano

July 2024 - We had a magical stay at this home in Praiano! The view was breathtaking and everything about our stay was perfect.

Check-in and finding the place was very smooth. The place has private water access, shared with other apartments at the same location. The ocean was too rough for swimming when were there, but a small swimming hole was created that was fun for our kids. It is many steps down to the water, but again, it is worth it! Praiano is either up or down, so it is just part of the experience.

Wonderful place to experience the Amalfi Coast

Spectacular stay

April 2024 - We had a wonderful stay at Casa Isca. This location is spectacular. You are on the water with views of the Amalfi coast in both directions. There is a long set of stairs down to the water where you can jump in or enjoy crashing waves.

We had great communication with the host, Pina, before and during our arrival. I used WhatsApp and email to communicate with her. The apartment was perfect with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a washing machine with drying racks, and a full kitchen. There is a balcony to sit and enjoy the view and the coastal breeze. Such a beautiful place to sit and relax... we didn't want to leave to do sightseeing.

It goes without saying that getting to this location included driving the coast which is as equally terrifying as beautiful to drive. There is a steep driveway to enter the property. We were given a gate code to open it. There was room to park multiple cars, we had 2. There are 70 steps to the rooms. You must carry luggage down multiple flights of steps. However, the payoff is a stunning view.

I highly recommend staying here if you have a sense of adventure or just love being right on the coast.

The apartment was lovely and very comfortable and the terrace was amazing

October 2022 - We loved Casa Isca. The apartment was lovely and very comfortable and the terrace was amazing. Was very tempted to spend our entire stay sitting out there! Was great that there was parking inside the gate. Bus stop just outside the gate. Would definitely stay here again. Be warned there are a lot of steps but totally worth it!

Summer In Italy was incredibly easy to work with. Everyone at Summer In Italy were fantastic. A friend recommended the company and we were not disappointed. Great communication with quick responses to our inquiries.

Really nice apartment with a gorgeous view of the sea

August 2022 - Casa Isca is a really nice apartment with a gorgeous view of the sea. The private access to the sea ensure quiet and relaxed vacation. Furniture is of an average quality, the washing machine avoid to bring much clothes on vacation.

Good experience with "Summer In Italy".

Lovely apartment!

June 2022 - Casa Isca is a beautiful apartment with a spectacular view. The apartment was comfortable for a family of four and having two bathrooms is always a plus. The view is the star though. Lovely apartment. Thank you!

Praiano is a beautiful town and highly recommended to visit. Be aware if you don't have a car that there is a ton of walking to do along the road but all in all, would stay there again in a heartbeat.

It was a pleasure using Summer In Italy and I can't wait to book our next adventure with your company.

Gorgeous view

May 2022 - Casa Isca is a nice large apartment with a gorgeous view and lots of sun in the morning. Bedrooms very large and nice comfortable bed. Kitchen well equipped. The position wasn't that great for us as it was a ten minute walk through the tunnel and on the main road to get to the main restaurant area of Praiano. There is (tricky) swimming access from the property if you walk to the bottom of the steps.

Perfect home away from home

May 2022 - Fantastic location, spacious and roomy apartment. Casa Isca was a perfect home away from home with the most beautiful view and great spot to spend a summer's evening.

Great service from Summer In Italy, friendly communication with no hassles. Would definately use again. Thanks!

Nice private secluded beach

September 2017 - This is an almost perfect place for physically active and fit people to spend their vacation at Praiano.

Lovely 200 steps down to a convenient and nice private secluded beach. The sea water was crystal clean and warm in the end of September.

The place is in a walking distance from grocery stores, diners (you can save a lot of money cooking at home though), and Path of Gods trail.

The place is nice and clean, the owner is lovely and caring. There is a beautiful sea view from the windows.

We could not find a tea pot but used one of numerous saucepan instead.

There is a fast and reliable WiFi router.

Fantastic

July 2017 - Casa Isca was wonderful! The view from the porch window was breathtaking. Lots of space, very relaxing. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor shower, which is half-way up the steps from the sea: a magnificent view while you shower after swimming (and a much-needed break when climbing all those stairs back to the apartment!).

The apartment is also well-situated. It's a short walk from the shops in Praiano and the grocery store, and the Sita bus stop is right at the front gate.

Thank you for a lovely stay!

Summer In Italy has been great! Thank you for your prompt replies and for your various messages as our trip was nearing. At no point did we feel nervous about using your service.

July 2017 - We enjoyed Casa Isca, it was cozy, with a great view, and it provided enough privacy.

Having a private beach is a great plus. The beach chairs we found in the cove at the beach were quite useful. I suggest keeping there a water mattress as well.

Relax and enjoy this beautiful country.

June 2017 - Casa Isca was great and had a very "at home" feeling with a beautiful breakfast patio overlooking an unbelievable view!

It's a very spacious unit with plenty of room and many comforts.

Mrs. Pina (the property manager) is very sweet and will do everything she can to help you and make your stay comfortable.

Parking is safe and very close to your unit.

Should you need anything from them, the folks over at Summer In Italy are ALWAYS ready and available to help you with anything that you may need and only a phone call away. They're very attentive and will amaze you at how fast they get back to your emails (even when you're emailing from the States, like us).

July 2016 - Very well appointed, stylish and quiet, with beautiful views. The property does not have balcony or garden, but the living room French windows open wide to give an outdoor feeling.

All the other properties were occupied at the time, but for the most part other guests were not obtrusive. Being set against a cliff face gives a nice feeling of seclusion. Steps down to a pretty private cove for swimming - entrance to the sea there is not of the easiest, however. The facilities all worked well except that on the last night there was a problem with the hot water.

June 2016 - We enjoyed our stay (2 weeks) very much.

Located at Praiano it is a more peaceful part of Amalfi Coast. We were able to walk to everything we wanted.

Great outlook from the unit.

July 2015 - Casa Isca is a beautiful apartment, well located with an incredible view on the sea and the coast. Ms Pina [the caretaker] was very nice with my wife and I.

The only point that I would like to mention is that the mattress was not very comfortable but we were so tired at the end of the day that we were able to sleep anyway!!!

Overall, we loved our stay at Casa Isca.

I would like to thank everybody from the team of Summer in Italy. Luca and his staff were so helpful. They gave me tips and advices and they responded very quickly on each of my numerous questions! Next time that I'm going to Italy, I will rent again with Summer in Italy. Thank you for making my stay on the Costa di Amalfi unforgettable.

July 2015 - Living room, you can not stay 2-3 people. It is very uncomfortable to stay to sleep on the coach.

Other than that the organisation was very professional.

Thanks to Summer in Italy.
