About The Experience
This beautiful two bedroom apartment in Praiano adds a little Greek flavor to your Italian holiday. Pure white walls accented with blue furnishings and decorations welcome two couples or a small family to relax and enjoy the spacious home and the even more spectacular views. With two terraces, one with an attractive garden and the other with a private pool, you will have a hard time leaving your home to explore the coast. Walk down to the sea or visit the nearby towns of Positano, Sorrento and Amalfi.
Location Description

This apartment is situated below the main street of Praiano, a small fishing village made up of houses scattered along the ridge of Monte S. Angelo down to the Mediterranean Sea. A small well-stocked supermarket is a short distance from the villa and about 400 meters away you will find coffee bars with internet facilities, a tourist information center, restaurants, a post office, shopping, and more! Visit Marina di Praia, a small and charming pebble beach surrounded by the houses and boats of local fishermen. It is dotted with small, authentic restaurants not to be missed by any seafood lover. If you do not have a problem with climbing steps, visit the small, delightful beach of “Gavitella”, located at the bottom of a small rocky inlet. The beach houses a restaurant with beach facilities, open during the summer season. La Gavitella can be reached either on foot, walking along a path that includes about 350 steps, or by sea using the local ferry service! The SITA bus stop, the long distance bus that goes to Amalfi and Sorrento, and the local bus stop, the shuttle bus that goes from Praiano to Positano, are situated at the beginning of the steps leading down to this apartment.

Nearby Attractions: In Praiano, a town characterized by its expansive views on the sea and its fishermen who dot the marina and bring fresh seafood to the authentic restaurants, you can enjoy numerous historical, architectural and naturalistic attractions. Its beach, La Cala of Gavitella, is the only beach on the Amalfi Coast illuminated until sunset at which time, be sure to join the locals at nearby wine bars such as Vivaro or Le Fioriere Cocktail and Wine Bar. Surrounding Praiano are several vineyards and a hiking trail, Sul Sentiero degli Dei, which stretches to Positano! In Positano, the main square Piazza dei Mulini offers restaurants and shops or head to one of the beaches such as Spiaggia del Fornillo.

Customer Reviews

Overall:
Top of the line resort-like accommodations. Everything the other reviews say are true and correct about how wonderful this place is. This was October, so the weather was warm to hot in the sun during the day and mild in the evenings.
Enjoyed Most:
The house itself inside. So clean and modern and comfortable.
Enjoyed Least:
I would only add 2 things which ultimately didn't diminish our experience much at all: 1. There is someone living above you with a balcony that is not that far above, but they generally are quiet and keep to themselves (It's the owner's aunt and uncle.) 2. Praiano is a beautiful little village perched on a cliff so almost everything is flights of stairs up or down from the main road. So coming from and going to our little villa was like going down (first) and then back up 8 flights of stairs. We ended up buying a chicken and some steak and cooking at home and never going anywhere rather than brave the stairs.
Surrounding Area:
Amazing views. Walking down the road in either direction gives you great views one after another.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Positano; not in walking distance but viewable.
Tips or Restaurants:
Definitely amazing fresh fish and lemon risotto at the restaurant that is part of the Hotel I Pini, which is just above the villa on the main road. Hostaria i Pini is fantastic and friendly, helpful staff.
Directions:
Have a driver pick you up and deliver you from Naples. If you're coming from Sorrento, take the bus.
Check In Out:
Everyone involved was absolutely sweet and helpful.

Overall:
Outstanding! Beautiful villa, beautiful location, beautiful views!
Enjoyed Most:
Everything! Plus the attention of the owner during our stay! The property was fully stocked with all supplies/amenities that one might expect to find in a luxury villa.
Surrounding Area:
Amalfi coast and proximity to Positano, Amalfi, Pompei, Sorrento, etc, etc.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Praiano. Yes, although a hike up many steps. You quickly learn that if you want to be in such a beautiful location, you have to invest in some climbing of steps.
Tips or Restaurants:
The villa lived up to our expectations, but far exceeded those set by RentVillas information sent in advance. We were ready to be disappointed and were pleasantly surprised upon arrival.
Directions:
Used a limo and driver. Meeting location was easy to find (although changed from the original instructions) and Antonietta and Genarro., the owner, were waiting for us on arrival. Arrival went perfectly!
Check In Out:
Thanks again to Antonietta and Genarro for making our arrival and departure virtually effortless!

Overall:
Wonderful! Was the perfect place to rest and relax and travel to other cities nearby.
Enjoyed Most:
The comfort and peacefulness after a long busy day.
Enjoyed Least:
The steps...but they are everywhere on the Amalfi Coast!!
Surrounding Area:
Absolutely beautiful location and great food.
Nearby Events or Locales:
We were in the small town of Praiano.
Tips or Restaurants:
The villa had pretty much all that one might need. Much more than we expected!! Every restaurant that we tried was great! Did not have one bad meal or experience!
Directions:
Did not have a GPS; we had a driver pick us up in Naples at the train station. The property is located by taking the steps that are right at the "Sita 7" sign for the city bus.
Check In Out:
Antonietta was wonderful and very accommodating. We felt very comfortable knowing that we could call her for any reason during our stay. We were visited by the owner the day after checking in and he too was awesome. Giving us tips and information and his phone number just in case there was anything that we needed.
