Reviews of Villa Fillide A

We loved our stay!

June 2023 - Lucia [the owner] was very helpful even picked my family up at the train station. She was very responsive and helped us with taxis and use the washing machine.

Summer In Italy was very helpful with answering questions quickly to help in planning my trip across Italy. I would definitely use the company again!!

This is a beautiful property - extremely well equipped and spotlessly clean

June 2022 - This is a beautiful property - extremely well equipped and spotlessly clean. Eating breakfast on our terrace every morning looking out to sea and mount Vesuvius was a real treat. The bedrooms are large, beds comfy and air con quiet and effective. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Owners are unbelievably helpful but not intrusive in any way. A huge thank you for all their help and for such a wonderful holiday.

All staff have been extremely helpful. Would book with Summer In Italy again.

Absolutely amazing

August 2019 - Absolutely amazing. We rented 3 apartments here and the owners were incredible. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful surroundings

October 2018 - Villa Fillide A is a beautiful villa in beautiful surroundings with good view of the bay. The apartment is very spacious.

The views are stunning

September 2018 - We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Villa Fillide A. The views are stunning, both of the surrounding hills and overlooking the sea towards Mount Vesuvius.

The owners were always available but never intrusive. We were given homemade marmalade, and limoncello (made from their own orange and lemon trees) and freshly picked aubergines and tomatoes. We would like to thank the owners for their warm and generous hospitality during our stay.

Summer In Italy web site and monthly newsletter are excellent. The web site is very informative and easy to understand. All staff are prompt with their communication. Keep up the good work!

Good base to explore the Bay of Naples

August 2018 - We really enjoyed our recent stay at Villia Fillide A. The apartment was large, with a good sized balcony - giving a picturesque view over the Bay of Naples. The apartment was very clean and well presented. It does have a bit of a 70s style, with a small kitchen - but was perfect for our needs.

The villa is up the hill approximately 10 minutes from the centre of Sant'Agnello di Sorrento -- just be aware that the roads are quite busy with no pavements. The site is brilliant: a perfect escape from the grounds in Sorrento. A good sized pool and lots of shade sitting under the orange/lemon trees. A good base to explore the Bay of Naples. I would highly recommend Villa Fillide A and would return if we ever come back this way.

The owners were very friendly and helpful: on our first day, the owner drove us to the local supermarket for a "big shop".

Brilliant and super-quick communication. Will definitely use Summer In Italy when we return to Italy.

July 2017 - We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Fillide A. The location is fabulous and from the terrace you can see Mt. Vesuvius.

The pool is lovely set in a garden of citrus trees. The kitchen is basic but this didn't spoil our stay. Everything was very clean.

I would stay here again.

Excellent service. I would book with you again.

October 2016 - Villa Fillide A is a wonderful place to spend a week or more in the Sorrento area.

It lies well above the busy Corso Italia, yet is a comfortable walk to the amenities of Sant'Agnello, including shops and restaurants. The view from the balcony is superb, overlooking the bay with Vesuvius in full display.

Sant'Agnello itself is a great alternative to staying right in Sorrento, which is extremely busy and congested. And it is only five minutes away on the Circumvesuviana train.

Our hostess Lucia was warm and helpful and added to the pleasure of our stay.

I recommend the property highly.

October 2016 - The best term to describe Lucia and her husband and son is "gracious". We arrived very late at night but received a warm welcome along with pizza and fresh bread and coffee for the next morning. Lucia was more than happy to answer any questions we had and provided us with transport to Marina Piccola port in Sorrento so we could catch our ferry when the buses and train were not running.

The villa is located close to bus and train transportation while still being in the "country" in the middle of a citrus grove. The villa was immaculate and there were plenty of towels; the grounds are well kept and the pool, delightfully refreshing.

This is the second time I have used Summer In Italy, I can't see myself using any other company to handle my securing a vacation rental. All the staff I have had contact with have been friendly and helpful in answering questions. My daughter found your website and suggested I book our rental two years ago and again this year through you. I have not been disappointed.

September 2016 - We had a wonderful holiday. The owners went out of their way to be helpful and ensure we had no problems. I would recommend this villa to anyone.

I was also impressed by the information and service provided by Summer In Italy. It was the first time we had travelled independently and was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was made for us. I would definitely do it again. Thank you for all your help.

July 2016 - Very nice villa with friendly hosts. The villa was well equipped and clean. We enjoyed the stay very much.

July 2016 - A brilliant place with a good price.

The location is peaceful. However the traffic in the street coming up from Sant'Agnello is dangerous so beware when walking there. The walk to Sorrento takes 40 minutes so if you just want to be in Sorrento, then this is not the ideal location.

August 2015 - We have just returned from a lovely stay at Villa Fillide A.

The accommodation was perfect for 6 of us and the additional toilet/shower area off of the kitchen was excellent. >The 2 bedrooms were large and the sofa bed in the lounge was big and comfortable. The villa was very well equipped.

The terrace was lovely, giving restricted views of The Bay of Naples and a lovely view of Vesuvius. A gas BBQ on the terrace was much used.

The villa was clean and the villa's owners were very nice indeed.

The swimming pool was very well maintained.

The villa was well situated for trips to Sorrento (where my daughter got married on the Wednesday!) and only a 30 minute train journey to Pompeii. If we visited the area again we would definitely stay at Villa Fillide A a second time.

Summer in Italy were extremely good and I would not hesitate to book through them again. I found them by chance on the Internet and was so pleased I did. All my emails were replied to promptly and queries I had were answered quickly. The booking process was very easy to use.

July 2015 - We loved our stay at Villa Fillide A! The owners are very friendly, available when you need them, but never intrusive. The apartment is clean, spacious, and well equipped.

The pool area was sunny, with enough places with shade to escape the sun.

We have absolutely nothing but positive things to say about the apartment, and our stay in Italy

The pictures on the website do not do the place justice -- there is a wonderful view of Vesuvius.

We are very happy with everything provided.

June 2015 - Villa Fillide A was a bright and cheery apartment. The landlady was extremely helpful and left plenty of information in the unit about area attractions.

We thoroughly enjoyed the apartment. We were pleasantly surprised with a bowl full of fresh fruit. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes, pots, pans, utensils, etc.

The patio/terrace was beautiful. The grounds were meticulous and the pool was large and extremely clean. There was a washing machine available for our use.

The Villa is very secure, with two locking gates. The location is wonderful and one can easily walk to restaurants and the train and bus station.

Keep up the good work. The property was exactly as depicted. I would not hesitate to rent from your company again.

June 2015 - We really enjoyed ourselves, it was a brilliant base in Sant'Agnello and we relaxed so much, either by the pool or in the apartment.

The owner couldn't do enough for us, picking us up from the station and telling us the best places to eat and drink, and made it a fabulous week - the house is amazing and the grounds are so peaceful.

It is a very safe villa - four keys locked doors and gates before you got to the apartment - and very secluded so we didn't worry about our 2 and a half year old son running off or any traffic about.

Would recommend it to anyone, the sights from the rooftop are spectacular.

Thanks for taking care of us.

April 2011 - Accommodation was amazing - the photos don't do it justice. Big, comfortable rooms with lovely balcony all the way around. Fantastic views all around, lovely setting, very clean.

Owners were so friendly and helpful but not intrusive.

Beware of water, there isn't enough to have a couple of showers in a row. Not a fault of the house though, there is a lack of constant hot water in general in Italy. [that is because of the way water is heated, in small boilers which need some time to re-heat once emptied]

Can easily walk to Sant'Agnello (about 10/15 mins), although not recommended for the elderly. It's a 25/30 mins walk to Sorrento - very easy walk. Restaurant, supermarket and little shops/coffee shops in Sant'Agnello.

Good local transport - we used buses, taxi, trains. Trains and buses very good value and easy to use - recommend over very expensive taxi.

The best bit - friendly owners, comfortable apartment, lovely views, nice area.

Wonderful experience, fantastic holiday, would definitely go back to Italy again.

You were very helpful in providing information on getting to the apartment from the airport. Many thanks. Overall very efficient and helpful. Easy booking and payment. Found you through Trip Advisor. Would use you again.
