Beautiful, private home with stunning views of the coast. This property was well worth the "built-in" exercise program previously mentioned in a separate review. While it was challenging to get up & down the stairs with two large, heavy suite cases and backpacks, we were assisted by Maria the entire way up and greeted with a complimentary bottle of water & wine. Without luggage it was very manageable as long as you are in fair physical shape. I would not recommend for people who have difficulty walking long distances. The home is spacious and well-cleaned. The property manager "Antonino" speaks very good English and provides numerous documents describing bus routes, restaurants recommendations, etc. which was very helpful & appreciated. The shower was one of the larger & warmer ones we enjoyed while traveling around the different regions of Italy. The local beach is very simple to get to and was one of our favorite parts of the trip, along with the delicious fresh pasta & seafood in town. If you are bothered by ants, I would suggest packing some traps, but other than that we had no complaints. It is a hidden gem and we hope to be fortunate enough to visit again in the future!

This villa is a fantastic way to see the Amalfi Coast! The villa truly is directly over the sea, and was a perfect setting for our group of 7. There are many stairs, here and everywhere on the Amalfi Coast, but the walk is worthwhile. Sunrise and sunset are all around you, and the moon is a delight. Be sure to charter a boat from La Boa Charter, in the beach area below the villa---ask for the Captain John--he is very good at what he does. We enjoyed dinner in the beach area below at Armandino restaurant.

Fantastic views. Praiano is a sleepy town not far from Positano but away from all the tourists. Local artisans have sprinkled the steps on the way to the beach with great little hidden art moments. Definitely worth taking the steps down (but the bus back up). Be sure to visit Paulo Sandulli in his watchtower studio - incredible. Maria was fantastic to share all the little hidden secrets of the town. Our favorite is that the local grocery Tutti x Tutto will pick you up to shop and then return you home. You'll want to stay in and cook and dine from the outdoor dining table that overlooks the water. The house was clean and as described. The pool was awesome to be able to cool off in after a long day exploring. There were mosquitos - just be prepared and bring bug spray. Stay here if you love great views and seclusion.

“Villa Benedetta is in a stunning location and the descriptions of views and several places to sit and soak it all in are understated. Don't let the steps keep you away because most of the best places on the coast will have steps and these are worth it. My 87 year old mother managed them just fine (but she is in great shape). If you never left the Villa you would have an incredible experience of the Amalfi coast. Maria made sure we understood the restaurants and grocery that delivers or picks up and takes you to their location. Praiano is the most charming town with great restaurants, bars and water taxi access to other coastal destinations. I would go back in a heartbeat and recommend it highly!”

Villa Panoramica has a beautiful location, really close to a small, quiet beach and the large Church, restaurants and bus that can take you anywhere along the Amalfi coast. The view is amazing and the house is lovely! Maria is very helpful and always available for questions. Since Praiano is located on the hill side, there are some stairs down to The beach, but the walk is good. All in all a great experience! ”

“Beautiful house with all the necessary amenities. It was a bit further to the center of Positano and a lot more stairs than we expected. But the breathtaking views and lovely terrace made it all worth it. We would definitely come back here again!

“We had a group of seven at the house for a short stay, only 2 days. The house was very clean and the view was amazing. I would advise you to pack lightly since you don’t want to be lugging heavy luggage up the stairs. Maria was very helpful with information. She was even kind enough to change our dinner reservation when we were held up longer than expected on our boat tour of Capri. I would highly recommend the Villa if you want to stay on the Amalfi Coast.”

“Maria was very helpful with local tips, place was clean and secluded and the view was amazing. She was prompt and helpful during the check in process and then left us alone (but quickly answered any inquiry we had). Many steps to the beach but we felt that it balanced the way we were eating :-). He town was charming and everyone we met was helpful including the grocer.”
