October 2022 - The view from this villa is unparalleled. The villa is spacious and clean. There are over 100 stairs so you need to be able to do this to stay here!
The biggest highlight to the villa, though, in my opinion, is Alesso and Martina, the villa property managers. They are SUPER helpful with any questions you may have. These include non-villa related questions like bus tickets, directions, boat rentals etc. They were amazing and so accommodating. The housekeeper was also a gem and it was lovely to have fresh laundry every day!
We went late Sept and the weather was cool so we didn't get to enjoy the beautiful pool. I will rebook for July/Aug when we go back. We have stayed here twice now and LOVE the villa, however, if you want to be downtown this is not the villa for you. The bus is unreliable and the cabs are an abomination - they charge 50-80 Euro's for a 7 min drive into the town of Amalfi.

Exceeded our expectations in every way!
August 2022 - Perfect! We hosted a family celebration and can't say enough about how accommodating the villa was and attentive the staff was. The villa exceeded our expectations in every way!
Luca and the entire Summer In Italy staff were a pleasure to deal with.

The family voted "best vacation ever"
June 2016 - Fantastic. Exceeded expectations. Perfect for larger groups - spacious and outdoor oriented.
Walked to local market and the nearby excellent restaurant Pesce d'Oro.
Beautiful pool, and gorgeous views of the Amalfi Coast and sea from every room.
The family voted "best vacation ever".
Summer in Italy was helpful and responsive. The booking went easily, and our many questions were answered promptly. Thank you.
Travel tips
- The local market is great but be prepared for an uphill trek. You can drive, but the roads are very narrow and steep. We hired a driver for a couple days - wise choice.
- Candida, the property manager, was wonderful - very helpful in arranging anything we needed.
- Many wonderful towns nearby - Amalfi, Ravello, Positano... Great shopping and viewing the scenery.
- History lovers MUST get a tour of Pompeii.

October 2014 - We had a fantastic time at La Maison Dei Desideri and can’t wait to come back!
Thank you to the Mariadiva team - including Candida, Alessio and Giovanni. Everything was great.
Summer In Italy booking system was easy to use, all very good.
Travel tips
- Ask for the possibility of pre-order a few items of food and drink to get you started at the villa. In that way you will have something there when you arrive. Candida was indeed so helpful that she was able to organize the shopping for us once we provided a list.

June 2013 - La Maison Dei Desideri was an excellent place to stay with a group of friends and or family. The pool was fantastic, as were the views.
The housekeeper was wonderful, and very helpful with anything and everything you need. The villa was clean and tidy and had all that you could want, including a great kitchen to cook for one or 12. It is close to some great restaurants, all of which were friendly and welcoming.
We had a fabulous time and would highly recommend it to anyone!
Summerinitaly was very helpful, great response time to any enquiries I had. Professional excellent customer service.
Travel tips
- We recommend hiring the boat from friend of the owner of the villa, and cruising to the Isle of Capri.
- Restaurant Al Pesce D'oro is a good place to eat and will help arrange for taxi's and bus timetable's.
