Reviews of Villa Allegra

Hands-down the best vacation my husband and our family has ever had!

May 2024 - We booked this a few months in advance of our travel, and admittedly had a hard time picking from pictures of different properties. But I tell you – the property is even more beautiful than the pictures show, and this location is breathtakingly beautiful and perfect!

The property is very well-maintained, and everything was perfectly clean. The pool was well-maintained and the deck chairs were lovely to sit outside on. Our family spent most of our time out on the porch around the pool, eating appetisers and drinking wine during the afternoons. It is a perfect place to relax and lounge. You walk down a few flights of stairs to direct beach access, where you can lay out on your own towels or rent beach chairs from the little restaurant on the water. Parking is a little bit difficult, so I would try to minimize having a multiple automobiles… Everything is walk-able in town and you really don’t need it. Overall the house exceeded all expectations!

Speaking of the town - there are a handful of restaurants and all of them are absolutely phenomenal! The locals were incredibly nice to us even though most of my family did not speak Italian, and by the end of the trip we had actually made a few friends in town. We walked down every single day for one reason or another, and even my parents who are older had no trouble making the 10 minute walk.

Everything was flawless from planning all the way through to our departure day. Gennaro the house manager contacted us ahead of time to make sure we had everything we needed – and we asked him the favor of helping us plan daily groceries, daily meals, and even a boat trip! He was kind, thoughtful, and executed everything flawlessly! Even more impressive were our two housekeeper's, who come to the property daily to tidy things up. We asked for them to make two meals while we stayed there – and they were two of the best meals we had during our entire trip in Italy… Just as good as Michelin star dining! It is an absolute MUST to request a dinner from them! We really just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped us have such a special week!

Also thank you to Summer In Italy who helped us every step of the way - we’re so grateful for all the hard work! I specifically would like to thank both Luca and Klint who went above and beyond assisting me and my family to have a great vacation. I had a lot of requests before hand, and a lot of questions, and Klint meticulously helped me out with every single one of them. We are very grateful, and wanted to recognize his hard work. He is a total rockstar!

Elegant and functional, with uncomparable views

September 2023 - Villa Allegra is elegant, functional and very comfortable and affords views like no other. The property is just perfect. The commercial kitchen is amazing.

Even with 14 people at the villa, we had no issues with lack of water for showers.

The pool is beautiful and was kept pristinely clean.

Summer in Italy staff were very helpful and supportive throughout our year long process of booking, and all of our questions were answered thoroughly and in a timely way.

September 2023 - We have nothing but positive things to say about Villa Allegra.

In years past, we have stayed at villas in Lucca and in Barcelona, so we had high expectations. At one point during our 2 week stay we had a total of 12 adults. Villa Allegra is so spacious and open that we NEVER felt crowded -- everyone had their space.

First, the view is stunning - in the morning, we could relax on the terrace with our coffee and watch the water and hear the waves below. In the evening, watching the sunset with a glass of wine was the perfect way to wind down.

Second, Mimma, the on-site assistant, was wonderful to us and anticipated our every need. Mimma genuinely adds value to the villa and, not only takes care of the property -- but takes care of its guests as well.

Third, if you like to cook -- this is the villa for you. The kitchen is remarkably well-equipped. We grilled fish and meat (on an outdoor gas grill), we made pasta dishes, baked desserts, etc. Since many in our group love to cook, the excellent kitchen was much appreciated and well-used. There is a large gas cooktop, 2 refrigerators, a large walk-in pantry, every size of pot/pan/serving dish you would ever need. In addition, the villa is well stocked with enough ceramic plates and wine glasses for a very large gathering.

All of the rooms in the villa are very comfortable. The salt water pool is fun -- some of us even swam "laps" for exercise. The villa has plenty of lounge chairs outside overlooking the sea, as well as outside tables for eating and 2 large outdoor couches for lounging.

We highly recommend this villa.

We hope to return again

June 2023 - Villa Allegra was enjoyed by my whole family. They were very happy with all house, location, beach. They especially like the town walking to at night to enjoy dinner and sharing time with the locals. Hope to return again.

Summer in Italy was the best.

This was our 3rd time at this amazing place!

September 2022 - This was our 3rd time at this amazing place! The last villa before Capri on the Amalfi Coast! The setting is unforgettable, the house a delight, and the care provided by the housekeeper (also a fantastic cook!) and the staff is unobtrusive and warm.

With boat tours, hiking, restaurants, swimming, snorkeling, etc., all available from the villa or the beach below, you could not have a more outstanding vacation.

It is absolutely perfect!

Summer In Italy was efficient and clear.

July 2022 - I had an AMAZING week staying at Villa Allegra.

Gorgeous house and property, having the pool but being close to the beach was an awesome bonus, and the town of Marina del Cantone was lovely. I can't say a single bad thing.

A perfect week. Thank you!

September 2019 - We really enjoyed the view from the terraces, the direct access to the sea and much more.

If you would like to stay with all your family or friends (children included) in a quiet and luxury place and, at the same time, visit the Amalfi Coast and Capri then Villa Allegra is the right choice.

Many thanks to Summer In Italy! Good home page and communication, excellent people. I found a lot of useful information and support to arrange our stay in Amalfi Coast, really interesting.

We highly recommend the villa for large groups like we had.

July 2016 - Villa Allegra is a beautiful Villa in a stunning location. It has everything you need for a fantastic holiday.

We travelled with family and friends to get married in Sorrento. The Villa is spread over 3 floors and is immaculately maintained and clean. The views from many of the areas within and around the villa is absolutely stunning.

The villa has a very well equipped kitchen along with many other items including Sky TV, Wifi, washing machine, tumble dryer, etc.

On the eve of our wedding day we arranged for the housekeeper (Mimma) to cook for us all. This was a special night with us all (14 people) sat around the big dining room table eating beautiful home cooked food drinking local wine supplied by the owner, Mrs Valeria, as a gift. Mimma is amazing and nothing is too much trouble, she even presented us with a wedding cake at the end of the meal.

The Villa and the welcome we received was very warm and friendly which helped everyone have a fantastic stay with very fond memories.

I was a little unsure of the process initially when trying to book the villa, but as the time got closer the support and response I received from Summer In Italy was great. Thank you all for helping us have a fantastic stay and wedding in Italy.

June 2015 - According to our 8 year old son... best vacation ever! Our group had a great time!

The place was exactly as described and looked. The kitchen is a cook's dream -- fully stocked with pots, pans , plates, platters glassware to the hilt! We love to cook and did for most nights but we took advantage of Mima's [the caretaker] talent and enjoyed 2 lovely meals. Her pasta was hailed by the boys to be better than the Michelin starred restaurant in Marina del Cantone. Mima is a gem! Despite her halting English we communicated beautifully.

September 2014 - Villa Allegra was a very nice Villa for our group of 6 couples! We had a great time and enjoyed the many amenities it had to offer.

It is super clean and was maintained very well by the housekeeper every day.

Everything within the villa is of very high quality and is extremely luxurious and beautifully decorated, per the pictures on the website.

The village of Marina del Cantone had great restaurants and convenient small grocery store and pizzeria.... we walked there every day!

We found doing business with your company very easy, professional and the booking procedure simple and efficient. We would use your company again! Thanks for answering all our questions well in advance of our vacation: it made us feel secure and found it helpful in planning our time. Your website provided a lot of great info too.

May 2014 - The property is absolutely "top notch" and exquisite in every detail. The rooms are bright and airy, the views are magnificent, the location is remote, quiet and peaceful.

Local hiking trails make for great 1/2 day trips. Convenient for day trips to Amalfi, Sorrento, Capri and even to Pompeii and Paestum (by boat was quicker).

Friendly, polite staff members and excellent cook preparing local specialties.

Property manager at check-in was able to help out with daily excursions.

The rental process and correspondence were professional and timely. All pertinent details regarding the property were given; directions, phone numbers, etc. I was lucky to find out about your company on the internet and would indeed consider your firm for future rentals in Italy. I would definately recommend your business to friends and associates, as will the other couples in our group.
