Absolutely Perfect! My family and I were practically giddy when Maria first led us into this beautiful villa. What a find! It is exactly as described and pictured - tranquil and elegant, tastefully decorated, immaculate. And the view!! We spent almost every waking minute there on the terrace - the morning light is breathtaking; at night, the twinkling glow of Praiano village to the left and Positano to the right is mesmerizing. We were very happy to have ended up in Praiano rather than Positano, which is where our on-line searches for Amalfi destinations kept pointing us. While Positano does have more restaurants, nightlife and shopping, it is packed with tourists. Praiano is a respite from the frantic activity of the Amalfi Coast - so laid-back and peaceful, yet with plenty of good restaurants (Kasai was a particular favorite) and cafes. Most are within walking distance of the villa, but many restaurants will pick you up and bring you home at no charge. Also within walking distance is a beautiful beach and a little market with wine, produce, cheese and staples. It had everything we needed, so we didn't make use of the larger supermarket, which also provides pick-up/drop-off or delivery service. It's easy to get anywhere on the Amalfi Coast from Praiano, including Capri. The bus to Positano stops very near the villa; buses to Amalfi and other destinations stop in town. If you decide to walk The Path of the Gods from Praiano to Positano, be prepared! The views are dazzling, but the path is very steep and narrow in places, and not well marked. Bring plenty of water and wear good shoes! Other things to know: there's no ice in the villa and no way to make it, so if that's important to you pack a couple of ice cube trays (not sure you can get bags of ice from the market). Neither were there napkins or paper towels, enough toilet paper, or detergent for the dishwasher or washing machine. Not a big deal at all...just a head's up. A call to the supermarket on your first day might be necessary. Also, the wi-fi is a bit spotty, but who cares when you're living a dream on the Amalfi Coast?!

Wonderful place. The apartment is really well. The view is fantastic and of course the area wonderful. And thanks to Maria.

“Maria's place was spacious with a fantastic view, easy to walk to with luggage, very close to a supermarket which was convenient and also some good restaurants and the beach. You will need to purchase some basic amenities such as salt, pepper, washing powders and probably extra toilet paper. Praiano is a cute and quaint town which we loved and overall our stay was very enjoyable.”

“The place was perfect for our stay in Praiano. It’s a little bit out of the way (think top of the hill), but that’s what we wanted. We were able to relax and spend time on the awesome pool deck and patio. Easy to get down the hill to good restaurants and grocery stores. Recommend taking the time to learn the local bus route as it was very reliable and got us home quickly. Overall a great experience!”

This is an amazing place. As mentioned in previous reviews, there are a ton of steps leading up to the house. But, the house is located near the top of Praiano, affording beautiful views of Positano and the Mediterranean. The grounds of the house are also beautiful- there are gardens, lemon trees, tomato plants and multiple large decks. Plus it's quiet and secluded- so it's a very peaceful way to start and end your day, away from the crowds of the towns below. This house is an absolute gem.

We really enjoyed our stay here in Praiano. What a special place! The house had all the amenities, most notably a stovetop espresso maker, toothpaste, hairdryer. Luca was incredible and helped us organize dinner and day trip to Capri. Praiano is not a crowded tourist spot like Amalfi, and is a bit remote but not complicated or difficult to get to if you do a little research before you arrive. We will definitely stay here again :)”

“It is all about the view of from Villa Panorama. There were six adults and one child and it worked perfectly for our needs. You just have to accept that in Italy, especially near the Amalfi coast. you are going to have to walk and get use to the steps. Wonderful location for an Amalfi vacation.”
