Great location! Great pool!

July 2018 - Great location! Great pool! We needed that with the heat and having a child travelling with us. We also had a private patio which was appreciated since we had friends staying in one of the other apartments. We cooked dinner many times and enjoyed the privacy of our terrace.

The owners are really nice and helpful. I recommend this place greatly.

Will look you up again. You were very helpful in finding the perfect apartment for us.

Travel tips

  • Be aware of the Italian drivers in this part of the country. The driving experience is a bit crazy.
  • Try the pizza at the close by restaurant. Great experience.

Absolutely exceptional

June 2018 - Villa Fillide D was absolutely exceptional, surrounded by the most beautiful gardens embellished with orange and lemon trees (the owners will give you bags and you can make your own orange juice with equipment in the apartment). The apartment itself was great, clean, well stocked with spices and everyday amenities in the kitchen. We had our own patio as well as a communal terrace which has a terrific view where we were able to BBQ and enjoy relaxing evenings. The pool area was beautiful, very quiet! We definitely intend to return in the future when re-visiting the area. Villa Fillide D is a hidden gem and fantastic value for money.

We cannot thank the owners enough, so accommodating, they picked us up from our transfer bus and went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant and enjoyable.

Summer In Italy helpful, attentive and efficient from the very start...

Travel tips

  • Located away from the hustle and bustle of Sorrento but only £2.30 Euro for a return ticket to Sorrento town, literally takes about 3 minutes - the train station is about a 10 minute walk from the apartment.

Very good

July 2016 - Villa Fillide D is the ground floor apartment of the villa. For my wife and I it was the best, with a small private patio where, thanks to the shade provided a vine covered and pergola and hedges, we enjoyed all of our meals and some relaxation time. The apartment is well equipped, with plenty of space for 2, but would be more cramped with 4. The pool is ideal for cooling off after a hot day, and has plenty of sun-beds and umbrellas. The roof terrace of the main building has stunning views over the Bay of Sorrento and up to the surrounding hills.

Location wise it is a little way (10 minutes) from the main Corso Italia, and is a bit of a climb after a long day, but a good excuse for an extra glass of wine to be walked off! Sant'Agnello di Sorrento is very convenient, being well served by the Circumvesuviana railway between Sorrento and Naples as well as frequent and regular buses, so we enjoyed not having to drive ourselves.

All in all a highly recommended rental property.

Lucia, the owner, and her husband are great hosts, friendly, helpful and informative. Do not change!

Travel tips

  • There is no need to drive, as it is a short walk downhill to the bus stops and the Circumvesuviana train station. The latter runs from Sorrento to Naples, with stops at Pompeii, Herculaneum and elsewhere en route, although can be crowded and hot.
  • Boats from Sorrento go to Naples, Capri and Positano, and offer a great alternative to the bus and train service.
  • Be prepared for some walking, but there are plenty of bars to stop in, and the views from the sea front across to Capri and Naples are well worth the effort.

November 2015 - We enjoyed staying in the orange groves.

Villa Fillide D is in a beautiful position, walking distance from shops etc but quiet and peaceful.

The owner is very helpful and speaks English well enough to know what we want.

Travel tips

  • Don't forget that there's a bus to and from Naples airport that stops in Sant'Agnello.
  • There's a rather nice pizza place (used mainly by locals) in walking distance.

October 2015 - It was the second year I stayed at Villa Fillide D. This year I traveled solo, and Villa Fillide D was perfect for me. I especially liked the kitchen with its big windows, but with privacy.

This is the third time I've booked with Summer In Italy. Questions are answered promptly and special requests handled in a timely manner.Just keep on doing what you're doing, you're the best.

Travel tips

  • The kitchen has everything you might need to create meals. The refrigerator is small, but ample.
  • Take wash clothes, they are not provided [Italian-style towels are provided].
  • The villa is a 10 minute walk to the center of town on Corso Italia and a 25 minute walk on Corso Italia to Sorrento.
  • If you drink wine, check out the Bacchanalia bulk wine shop near the corner of Corso Italia and Via Marion Crawford.
  • If you're a lady and want some pampering, have massage at "Alma" near the corner of Via Marion Crawford and Via Cocumella. The owner of Villa Fillide D can make an appointment for you.
  • The villa is close to all modes of transportation yet has the feel of being in the county. It's close to bus and train transportation so it's easy to make day trips to Capri, Ischia, Pompeii, etc.

Very good

September 2015 - We had a wonderful time, the owner in particular made our stay all the more enjoyable as she was very friendly, smiley and helpful. We arrived very late of an evening and she met us somewhere more easily reachable to take us to Villa Fillide D.

The pool was very cold which was unfortunate as we had picked this place above others due to the pool, but we couldn't use it due to it being so cold. We visited in September, so perhaps it is better in warmer months.

Also, we stayed in the 1 bedroom, but I would say it was more of a studio as the kitchen is only separated by an archway and curtain. But the room was very spacious and thoroughly clean, which is the main thing for us!

Travel tips

  • If you go there to have a good rest and peaceful time it is a nice place. If you want to go around and visit it takes time because the villa is a bit far from town.

July 2015 - Villa Fillide D is a beautiful apartment. There is plenty of everything in the villa. It is open plan, as well as the large double bed, there is a pull out sofa for 2. The terrace area has table chairs and BBQ.

It is very private, peaceful and picturesque. The pool area was great and my children loved it.

Travel tips

  • The owner, Lucia, is very helpful and accomadating.
  • The villa is situated about a 10 min walk from train station. We didn't hire a car and most nights we just took a taxi back to the villa.
  • Sant'Agnello is only one train stop from Sorrento, a very busy place, so glad we weren't staying there! Had a great holiday.

October 2014 - My friend and I loved our stay in Sant'Agnello and Villa Fillide D.

The owners, Lucia and Salvatore, were the best by far... we felt like their family.

The villa was very nice, the next time we want the top floor for the magnificent views.

We enjoyed our walks to the town each day greeting all the people.

We stayed for a month and wanted to stay longer. We highly recommend this property.

Used your website for the first time and will use it again, in fact already passed it on to friends!

Travel tips

  • The center of town has everything, including a local wine shop.
  • Taverna Rosa and Donna Rosa restaurants were our favorites.
  • Tony's bar in center of town was wonderful for either cappuccino or a glass of local vino.
  • Pizza market around the corner from villa was wonderful.
  • We hit every town in the area and then some... loved every minute... miss it...

June 2014 - We had a wonderful time at Villa Fillide D. Lucia and her husband [the owners] were very welcoming.

Other than the bathroom being a bit small everything else was fine.

We would certainly consider staying here again!

We were also quite satisfied with Summer in Italy and would use your service again.

February 2014 - We enjoyed our trip immensely. The landlords were very giving. Even when we needed more heat. The location was tough for me (Patricia). I broke my back and all the hills and steps were painful. We may like to return but, we will have more drivers. I really do not want to rent a car because because I will be giving directions and miss all the beauty around the apartment and the area. We even love their dog.

Travel tips

  • Johnny's grocery store: Idea 3, Tito's restaurant, Bar Syrenuse in main square in Sorrento.
  • Wear the best walking shoes you own.
  • Trains take you everywhere.
  • The Vatican and Amalfi were my favorites.

June 2013 - This is a very nice appartment with very nice owners who are helpful and available whenever needed.

Just a few minutes driving to Sorento (or 2 minutes in the train!)

We had a wonderful time and made trips to most interesting places between the Amalfi Coast and Napoli

We heard about you from friends. Got good information, found the right place-so we are really satisfied. It was not cheap (would have loved to pay a bit less) but the place was really great -- thank you!

Travel tips

  • Take into account a walk to the centre of the village takes about 15 minutes (to the centre-down). No problem if you are good walkers!
  • Use your car only when really needed, otherwise you will have parking problems. Best is to park your car in a parking garage (the one near the station in Sorento is relatively less expensive). During the day count on 1.5 to 2 Euro per hour for parking. In Positano it is more expensive!

May 2013 - This address is also a good place to be even if you don't have a car available. The railway station / bus station takes only 7 till 10 minutes walking.

The landlords were very friendly, offered a huge number of oranges and lemons and a small bottle of Limoncello (home made).

Everything people, equipment etc were very good.

Parking place was excellent.

Excellent support from Summer In Italy, nice email contact. Stay at this level :-)
