Reviews of Villa Marilu

Just like the pictures show

October 2023 - The villa was breathtaking. The photos are exactly what you see and receive.

Our host, Dana, was so accommodating and she made herself available to our group with any need.

The outdoor space was beautiful. We enjoyed our morning sunrise and coffee every day. It was warm enough to use the pool and all the lounging seating and areas were comfortable.

We even saw the donkeys working as they went up and down our steps all day long. That was very cool to witness.

The bedrooms and bathrooms were great. Very comfortable and good water pressure.

We spent our evenings hanging out in the kitchen and even cooked ourselves a home cooked meal with all the ingredients purchased at Tutto x Tutti. We had all the cooking equipment needed. The kitchen was stocked well.

I only regret not getting the opportunity to use the Turkish Spa and lounging area. It was so inviting; however, our days were long and full.

I would highly recommend Villa Marilu to any person or group wanting to stay in Praiano. The grounds were exquisite and I loved looking around every second I was there. I even purchased a beautiful linen top from Marilu In Positano!!

I loved working with Summer In Italy.

It was lovely!

August 2023 - Very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The daily housekeeping was a perfect amenity and it certainly made it feel like a vacation. We were three families totalling 8 people. Trying to get out early every morning made it a plus.

Getting around was not bad… If you are in good physical shape the walk down to the beach and back is doable. My husband and I who are older walked down but not back up. We did take a cab upon departure from the beach.

Any issue that came up at the villa was readily taken care of by the owner who was very responsive. I highly recommend!!

I was happy with everything!

Great place with spectacular views

May 2023 - What a great place! Views are spectacular. the villa is has a great layout for multiple guests and was large enough to accommodate or group on 9 very comfortable. The terraces are all amazing with fantastic views of the cliffs and sea.

Our hosts Deborah and Daniela were the best. They not only took care of everything we needed at the villa, but went the extra mile helping us with taxi's, info, shopping, etc.

Our travel agent recommended this great place. Can't think of anything that wasn't great. You can't go wrong here.

Excellent

May 2022 - We thoroughly enjoyed Villa Marilu and Summer In Italy! The villa was absolutely beautiful and the host went the extra mile to make our stay perfect!

We had a group of seven - so the bedrooms and bathrooms were exactly what we needed. The showers were updated and wonderful! I can’t say enough about how wonderful Villa Marilu was for our group! I highly recommend it!

We loved the quiet of Praiano. We took a water taxi to Amalfi one day, and a bus to Positano another day. We enjoyed the bustling streets, shops, cafes and restaurants! Mini Market Tutto Per Tutti - the nearby market - was a perfect place to meet our driver - and the market was welcoming and convenient!

It was wonderful. We enjoyed the hospitality - ease of check-in and checkout, and the assistance with finding our way around. The host arranged for a chef to come to the house and cook dinner for us - it was splendid! The chef and his assistant were amazing and so friendly. Thank you!!

Loved Summer In Italy. I was very happy with the pre-trip assistance and guidance. Everything went smoothly and we had an amazing trip!! Thank you!

We had the best time and the BEST views

April 2022 - We had the best time and the BEST views from Villa Marilu! Praiano is a lovely sleepy town and Villa Marilu is walk-able to a grocery, restaurants, and the Praiano beach/marina.

Summer In Italy was wonderful. Everyone was very communicative and helpful.

Excellent

October 2019 - We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Marilu and would highly recommend this house for large groups like we had. It was in a great location, close to everything we needed but far enough away from the crowds and noise. We will certainly book Villa Marilu again if we return to the Amalfi Coast.

Giulia [the caretaker] was great and very accommodating.

We have used Summer In Italy before and had such a great experience we used them again on this trip. Since our group was a larger one we booked a larger villa this time but were not disappointed as it was perfect for our needs. We highly recommend Summer In Italy and look forward to using them again on our next trip to Italy.

The house was perfect, the outdoor area was fabulous

October 2019 - We were a group of 10, family holiday, the house was perfect, everyone had a private bedroom and plenty of space to enjoy quiet time if needed.

The outdoor area was fabulous, plenty of outdoor furniture, sun lounges, a small pool and a huge yard.

Great restaurants close by, mini-market with everything you needed, beach within walking distance and Path of the Gods not far from the house.

We had the best holiday at Villa Marilu. Grazie.

I have used Summer In Italy before, always happy with them.

We loved it!

June 2019 - We loved it! Spent all our time on the balcony - it was fantastic!! Shopped at the local grocery shop which was terrific in location. We'd stay again, it was great! Summer In Italy was terrific.You came to the rescue when I couldn't find what I wanted! Fantastic, thanks!
