Rent your vacation villa in Italy!

Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, Capri, Cilento National Park: we love these places!  This is where we live, where we spend our own vacations and where we want you to come.  Let us show you the beauty of our land and the friendliness of our people.  Let us make you feel Italian, at least a little bit.

And if you are looking for a different Italian destination, we have now made available a selection of villas and apartments in Tuscany, Umbria, Rome and Venice that have been recommended to us by friends and by past guests themselves.

In this web site we present the villas that we have built and furnished for ourselves and our families, and that are now available for rental, as well as selected places that have been recommended to us and that we have visited, inspected and approved personally.  Feel free to browse our selection, to contact us for more information and to book your favorite villa on-line, directly from Italy.

Amalfi Coast

This spectacular coastline, which embraces the charming towns of Positano, Praiano, Amalfi and Ravello, invites you to imagine yourself back in the sunny carefree days of the sixties - for here the beauty and romance of those times have not changed.

Sorrento Coast

Sorrento is one of the best known resorts in Italy, situated on a tract of coastline of unrivalled beauty, on the northern slope of the Sorrentine Peninsula, in a sheltered spot, surrounded by luxuriant hills where vines, olives and above all high quality citrus fruits are grown. The site of patrician villas during Roman times, it has been a highly prestigious retreat since 700.

Tuscany

Famous for its Chianti wines, its magnificent historic towns, such as Florence, Siena, Arezzo, San Gimignano, Cortona, Lucca and Volterra, and its peaceful nature, Tuscany reveals its very soul with placid hills, wide pastures and neatly harvested vineyards and offers travelers a continuous sequence of stimulating highlights.

Cilento National Park

Would you believe that just a few miles off the usual tourists' routes lies an enchanting mix of culture, art, nature and folklore?  Discover Cilento and some of the most beautiful places in the world: Pompeii, Naples, Sorrento, Capri, Ischia, Positano and the Amalfi Coast are all within reach of a day trip. And at night you'll get the chance to relax in this magic place where time has stopped and stress and chaos are unheard of.

Rome

Roma caput mundi: Rome center of the world. That is how the Eternal City used to be called in ancient times. Today Rome, the capital of Italy, is a vibrant and lively city with reminders of its past everywhere: a spectacular fusion of the ancient and the modern, which presents its unique heritage like no other city in the world.

Umbria

If you love nature, tradition and tranquillity, you will feel at home and love Umbria, the green heart of Italy. With its deep roots in the past, it offers an unique testimony to the untouched Italian countryside. Umbria is a mix of nature, peace, genuine cooking, culture and an antique farming tradition that attract visitors from all over the world.

Capri and Ischia

The island of Capri has fascinated emperors, poets, painters and scholars with its charm for centuries.  The Blue Grotto, the Faraglioni, "la Piazzetta", Marina Piccola, Anacapri  and Villa Jovis, the ancient residence of Emperor Tiberius, await you in one of the world's most exclusive vacation spots. Ischia, the Emerald Island, with its thermal spas, sandy beaches and sparkling waters is the largest island of the Bay of Naples: health and beauty treatments, swimming and night life, you get them all here.

Venice

The city of Venice is so unique and so famous that you might feel you know it without ever having been there. St Mark's Square, the Carnival, the canals and the bridges, and, of course, the gondolas. Haven't you seen them a thousand times in brochures and movies?  Yet, with its dazzling architectural heritage, some of the world's finest art museums and churches, Venice transmits an indefinable feeling of mystery and romance. It is a city too special on this globe to be rushed.

About us...

Summer In Italy has been renting villas and apartments in Italy since 1995.  We are based in Salerno, Italy, less than 30 miles away from the properties that we represent in the Amalfi, Sorrento and Cilento areas.  Salerno is, indeed, our home town, and this benefits you in many ways.

1. Each villa and apartment has been personally inspected by our staff.  The accommodations are carefully, and, again, personally, selected to make sure that they fulfill your expectations.

2. When you send us your request, we will help you compare and choose among the many apartments and villas the we represent in a knowledgeable, unbiased and honest manner. Just one single email will suffice, you don't need to send an individual request for each individual apartment.

3. When you are in Italy, our friendly Italian staff is just a phone call away, all day, all night, all week long:  let us know that you need us and we will be right there to help you.  We speak both English and Italian, and know the place where you are staying like the back of our hand.

4. We personally know each property owner.  We have chosen the properties listed here ourselves.  We can give you any piece of advice you need to make your vacation memorable!

To satisfy the requests of our enthusiastic guests, in 2004 we have extended our reach to include villas in Tuscany, and in 2006 we have included vacation apartments in Umbria, Rome and Venice.  Our clients have been consistently asking us to provide the same careful and friendly service for villa rentals in more areas of Italy, and so we have been happy to take short trips to inspect holiday homes, apartments, farmhouses and agriturismo accommodations and to shake hands with villa owners, who have been recommended to us by friends or by past guests themselves.

"You guys at Summer In Italy are great and more helpful than I could have ever imagined! I sure am glad that I went with you. You have little room for improvement. Your attention to detail was impeccable, customer service was excellent, and the entire process was very easy. You are at the top of your game. Just keep doing what you are doing and I'll keep coming back."
