Reviews of Villa Aristide

This house is incredible!

June 2023 - Just steps from a bus stop with the most beautiful views and patios. There are restaurants and convenience stores that are walk-able from the house as well.

The house's pool was so much fun and my kids really enjoyed it. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was wonderful as well.

The communication about the house was easy and we felt supported while we were there. Highly recommend!

Everyone was great at Summer In Italy!

June 2023 - We immediately fell in love with Praiano and Villa Aristide.

My husband and I celebrated our first anniversary in this lovely home with its vast, breathtaking views. We wanted something out of the way from busy tourist areas -- a place with quiet beauty where we could experience local culture of the Amalfi Coast. Villa Aristide provided just that.

Each day we could see children playing in the town square by the church, with the beautiful bells tolling (they only ring during the day). We loved the market close by where we purchased locally grown veggies and eggs that we prepared in the well-equipped kitchen. Have I mentioned the views???? There are family gardens viewable from the windows and the light echo of roosters crowing from high above on the hill. I honestly cried when we left. We highly recommend Villa Aristide.

The landlord, Salvatore, treated us like family and we immediately grew to love him.

We loved Summer In Italy website and the service you provided. You were so responsive and provided a personal touch. Thank you!!

September 2018 - The villa suited our circumstances extremely well. The "manager" was excellent in assisting us to access eating and entertainment events as well as being friendly and courteous. Overall our experience was wonderful. Proximity to the local bus was excellent and access to the villa perfect.

Strong points for the villa are its easy access particularly for older visitors and the local bus at the door makes Villa Aristide one of the best destinations in Praiano.

August 2018 - We did enjoy Villa Aristide very much. The view is incredible, and the location in the middle of Praiano, with the church nearby with the lovely sound of the bells, the sounds of the Italian family's in the surrounding houses, the music played almost every night at the piazza we will never forget. And then the beautiful garden, were we had breakfast in the shadow, the swimming pool for the kids, not large but very cool and clean. The house was clean too.

The manager Saverio was very kind and helpful and the car could be parked in a garage nearby.

The kitchen was very basic but we did not need more. There were shops nearby were you can find anything you need and there are very good restaurants in Praiano.

Keep on doing it the way you do it now! You were very helpful and kind during our communication. It was for us a last minute vacation and we had very little time to search a location but it was no problem for you. The communication via email was very quick and easy and very clear. If we go to Italy again we will certainly book again with you and we will advice you to all our friends. Thanks for all your help and we hope to contact you again soon.

July 2017 - We all loved Villa Aristide.

Praiano is a great location away from the more touristy towns of Amalfi and Positano but close enough to enjoy their restaurants and shopping.

We were happily surprised that the festival at the church occurred our first weekend. Fireworks over the villa, procession of musicians, street vendors -- a wonderful local experience.

September 2015 - We loved our stay at Villa Aristide. We thought the location of the villa was excellent. The views were incredible! We were located adjacent to a piazza and church, which was full of activity in the early evenings. We happened to really enjoy that. There were children playing an assortment of games, parents socializing with neighbors, and the elderly visiting with their friends. The clock tower on the church also chimed every 15 minutes 24/7 which we also loved.

Villa Aristide was very clean. The master bath was lovely. Beds were a little hard for me but that is my taste. Furnishings pretty basic but the kitchen was charming. The kitchen had more than enough dinnerware, silverware, cups, and wine glasses. The frying pans were a very small, but it was ok since we just did breakfast in. Made frying sausages take longer to do.

The setting was gorgeous. Views were just incredible. Couldn't ask for more. There were a couple of large patios which overlooked the water as per the website. The pool area was tiny so that there is no room to lay out right around the pool. There is a laundry room which is very nicely outfitted with an ironing board and iron. There were instructions in English, though it took a while for us to figure the washer out. There was also a drying rack for us to use.

The villa came with a car garage which we were able to lock. That was a great thing to have in Praiano, or anywhere on the Amalfi coast. If we were going to stay in Praiano for the evening, we would just take a bus down into town for dinner. The bus stop was right outside our villa.

We would not hesitate to stay at Villa Aristide again for a future trip to the Amalfi coast. Loved it!

Summer In Italy was wonderful to deal with. Thank you for your flexibility regarding our payments. Since we were sharing the villa with our English friends it made it much easier that we paid each of our portions with our own credit card.
