Words cannot begin to describe our stay. A little piece of Heaven-on-Earth. Our host Pasquale met us on arrival and showed us the property. He was in contact with us throughout our stay and treated us more like family than as guests. One day he went as far as to provide us a freshly grilled fish lunch. The property itself is everything it is described as. Good size for 4 adults and the view is absolutely breathtaking. The town of Praiano is a quiet little village that was just perfect for us as we had been to Rome for 3 weeks and were looking to kick back and take it slow for a while. The beaches and restaurants in the area were all very nice and all the local people were very friendly. Be prepared to walk and climb steps - but that was not an issue for us and it helps walk off the food we indulged in :-). I would highly recommend this property and will most definitely be going back.

We absolutely loved our stay at Giovanna and Pasquale’s place! Pasquale is the sweetest Italian man who we had the pleasure of running into a few times while out and we were always greeted with the best smile and Ciao’s. If you don’t make the mistake of arriving via lower Praiano, the stairs won’t be an issue for you. The views are incredible and the place is the best typical Italian stay. 100% recommend!

The location is perfect, between Amalfi and Positano. It is very quiet. The view from the flat is amazing. There are many steps in Praiano but that is part of the Amalfi experience. Giovanna and Pasquale are wonderful hosts. In 15 years of using VRBO rentals we have never received such personal attention from our hosts. They went above and beyond and were very attentive to making our stay a wonderful one and are truly beautiful people. In 15 years of using VRBO, we have never written a review of any stay. For us to do so now is special. Highly recommended to those visiting the Amalfi Coast.

A perfect location to view the coast and neighborhoods. The steps are somewhat challenging but not too difficult. The host gave us a list of restaurants, local grocery stores, and things to do. She also arranged transportation from the airport in Naples. We had a few day trips that our host also arranged. All in all we were extremely happy with our stay. Highly recommend.

Giovanna’s place might just have the best view in Praiano. We had a fantastic stay. The place was very clean and comfortable and THAT VIEW. We ended up canceling most dinner reservations to cook and eat on the patio. It was idyllic. Giovanna made the whole process very seamless. Definitely take her up on her offer to arrange transport. Our driver, Gennaro was terrific. We would absolutely stay here again.

Wow. What can I say. Gorgeous place, wonderful view, amazing country and fantastic host! We chose Praiano as our base for our Amalfi Coast leg of our Italy trip and it did not disappoint. It was very centrally located for where we wanted to go and see. We used the Sita buses to get us to where we wanted. Visited Capri, Anacapri, Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. These places are amazing. Domenico was a gracious and available host for all our questions and needs. Giovanna arranged transport for us with Gennaro from Naples Airport. He also took us to the train station for our next stop in Florence. This apartment is a gem! Such a view! Very well appointed with everything we needed. There are A LOT of stairs! By the 3rd day I was very fit! We walked down to the bus stop daily down literally hundreds of stairs. But that is Amalfi cliff living! Would come back here in a heartbeat! Domenico gave us plenty of suggestions and help. Don't take a lot of luggage or you'll be lugging it. I recommend this place 100%. Italy is my happy place! And the food!!!!! ❤💋

Before I describe the property and location, I must say that our host Pasquale made our trip to Praiano, the Amalfi coast and Italy wonderful and unforgettable. We will always cherish our memories. The property is spacious, comfortable, clean, well equipped, and has a spacious patio with spectacular views. The pictures and description are accurate, but the view is even better. Praiano is quieter and less hectic than Amalfi or Positano, but that is what we wanted. There are good restaurants and a grocery readily available right there. Amalfi, Positano or Ravello are short bus or taxi rides away; check schedules which are available. Depending on the time of day and season the buses can be full and unable to stop for more passengers. Only happened once to us and we just took a taxi. There are quite a few stairs to the the property from the upper road and many more down to the main road but all doable. However, there is a small mini bus that just runs throughout Praiano so you never have to walk up the stairs from the main road if you don’t want to and can just walk down from the upper road. There is also a mini bus that runs between Positano and Praiano that follows the same route. If you come to the Amalfi coast be prepared to walk up and down everywhere you go. This location and property should not be missed. It is a gem.

Pasquale and Giovanna are two wonderful people who go out of their way to make your stay comfortable and easy! We arrived late and in the dark and Pasquale came looking for us and Giovanna was ready with tea to sooth my stress! These two are super hosts!! They helped us with the bus and many other local recommendations! The flat was clean, comfortable and felt like home! The views from the veranda and bedroom are to die for!! Easy to come spend the week and just relax with a drink and that view! (I’m thinking of using it as inspiration for my book!) The steps can be challenging but it is like this anywhere on the Amalfi Coast (it’s good for the heart!) We loved it so much we are already planning our stay again for next year!!

Had a great time at Giovanni’s and Domenico’s condo. Both were very good at communicating and helping with any questions. First class view and condo. All was clean and well stocked.

The apartment very quaint , adequate space for 4 people. Patio was a wonderful place to watch the sun come up in the morning. Convenient to store, restaurants, bus stop and of course a pastry shop to get our morning cappuccino and croissant. There are plenty of steps but that is the way it is in Praiano and on the Amalfi Coast. Praiano is a good place to stay if you prefer a quieter town but still close to other busier spots. The host is good at communicating.

This property is the perfect place for relaxing and engulfing oneself in the surreal beauty of the Amafi Coast. Words cannot describe how wonderful and helpful both Giovanna & Pasquale are. After a day of touring Positano, Amalfi or Capri it was nice returning to our home away from home and sitting on the patio with a nice glass of wine enjoying the beautiful scenery. I would highly recommend this place.

We stayed in the beautiful apartment which was spotless clean, well equipped and had a very comfortable bed. The view from the balcony (or even from the bathroom!) was spectacular at any time of the day or night. Our host, Pasquale was close by and was so helpful, warm and caring that he’s now a cherished member of our family. I even got some fabulous Pasquale recipes! :). Praiano is wonderful for those who after a bustling day of visiting Positano, Amalfi, Sorrento, Capri or even trying to tackle the Path of Gods, return to a quiet and peaceful town. With the crowds, late buses and white knuckled tourists trying to maneuver with the locals on the cliff side roads, it was heaven to come back ‘home’. The stairs can be a challenge in the beginning, BUT by the end of our trip we were pros with buns of steel! There are quite a few restaurants to choose from that are within walking distance as are a few small markets for food and sundries. The SITA bus and local tour buses stop at the bottom of our stairs. Giovanna had prearranged a taxi pickup from Naples train station for a set price and Gennero was a great driver who drove us the scenic route to Praiano. We booked him as well for the trip back and he took us to our hotel, waited, then drove us to the best pizza place in Naples. So great! We do plan on returning and hopefully bring more family with us. Wonderful place to stay with people we’lll always remember. Xx

We stayed at the apartment for 4 nights and wished it were for 7! So much to explore and see! Be prepared to walk and do many steps .. we found out we weren’t in that good of shape LOL ! but would not have changed it a bit ( except for adding extra nights ! ) The view in the morning afternoon and evening was breathtaking ! The Mediterranean Sea is amazing and all the beautiful houses on the hills ! Pasquale lives right behind apt and was very helpful and sweet. Carrying our bags and guiding us around! The Italian meal was to die for ! Delicioso ! I need the recipe for the mussels :) Only wish we could have somehow reciprocated the kindness ! We are ever so grateful to him .. making our stay extra special ! Hope you enjoyed the wine we left you and didn’t give it away Pasquale :) maybe saved it for a special meal with your wife when she comes to visit :) Caio for now ! Xo Darcy/Mike & Terry/Peggy

Couldn’t have asked for a better location for our honeymoon!

We had a great 3 weeks holidays in Praiano. Giovanna and Pasquale were wonderful hosts. The apartment is very well equipped and offers stunning and unspoilt views across the sea right up to Salerno and the Cilento. The „Sentiero degli dei“ is a must for all those who enjoy walking. Given that the Amalfi Coast is very steep you need to be prepared to walk a lot of steps in order to get somewhere. Car drivers will need a lot of patience when looking for a car park, which could be far away from where you actually want to go and which can become expensive. Those who are planning to hire a car should give it a second thought. Apart from the car park problem driving can become a nuisance. You will be able to enjoy the scenery much more, if you go by bus or by boat. Bus services are fairly regular and very cheap. We had hired a car for 3 weeks and apart from the journey from and to the airport used it only once. We will definitely be back one day and would love to stay with Giovanna and Pasquale again.

We had a fabulous time staying at this lovely apartment! The sea view from our balcony was a lovely start to the day. Giovanna provided lots of information prior to our stay and Pasquale helped us get settled in. Great holiday!

This property is very special. It’s a lovely little apartment in a centrally located spot that makes it easy to get to Amalfi, Positano, and Ravello while not being overwhelmed with crowds. The apartment was immaculate and outfitted with everything you could possibly need. Giovanna was easily reached and provided all the information needed in preparation. Pasquale was as charming a host as one could ask for, and extremely helpful. All in all, we can’t recommend this place more highly. Heed the warning regarding steps! This is true for all the Amalfi Coast, not just this place. But if steps are no problem, Praiano is the place to go!

Thank you to Pasquale for making our 3-night stay in Praiano wonderful. The apartment exceeded expectations - and Pasquale's additional information made the travel/check-in logistics easy. The apartment location is terrific for exploring the Amalfi Coast, and Pasquale's hospitality and recommendations were exceptional - from his help with parking to suggesting good local restaurants and boat services (pay a bit more for a smaller boat to Capri - it's well worth it), Pasquale makes sure you will have a memorable and restful time on the Coast. Thank you!

My friend and I spent 7 glorious days in this apartment as home base for exploring the amazing Amalfi Coast! Giovanna and Pasquale were so very helpful and went above and beyond to accommodate us! Yes, there are steps - when booking ask Giovanna to arrange porter service for coming and going - very handsome guys I might add and Pasquale is , as well!!! Gorgeous region of Italy, quaint town with friendly people, donkeys with carts and very easy to get around with public transportation. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING Hoping to return one day! Grazie my new friends, Giovanna and Pasquale. Donna and Crystal

This house had everything we needed for our stay. The view was BREATHTAKING! We actually ended up eating most of our dinners in so we could enjoy the sunset view from our terrace. Giovanna made sure we had a wonderful place to visit the Amalfi coast!

We were two couples that came to stay in this lovely apartment in the Amalfi Coast. The unit was perfect with everything we needed for an amazing stay. The views off the balcony were beautiful and lovely for an evening dinner. But the best thing about the apartment was Pasquale, one of the owners who lives next to the apartment, what a treasure to meet him, he had great advice on what to do and see and his vivacious personality made the trip extra special. I would strongly advise not overpacking because in the Almafi coast there are many stairs and remember you will have to bring your luggage up and down the stairs

Beautiful two bedroom apartment with fantastic terrace - 180 degree views! Nicely equipped, with great bathrooms. Close to a little market and several restaurants. Be warned there are a lot of steps all over Praiano, but it is a charming quiet village. Pasquale is the on site host with all the info you need, but he is not intrusive. Easy to work with Giovanna. Highly recommended.

My friend and I had the pleasure of staying 4 nights the first week of September. Pasqual greeting us and helped us with our luggage which was a big deal as the apartment was down over 60 steps. We had seen this in the other reviews so this was totally expected but we were soooo grateful for his help. We had the 2 bedroom apartment, the bedroom/bathroom with the view was unreal, waking up to that was a perfect start to each day. The 2nd bedroom has no windows so just be aware of that if it makes a difference to you. This is located just a bit south of Positano but Pasqual will explain the bus system to you, it is a little confusing without his explanation. We had a car but never moved it once we parked it as we were afraid to not find another parking spot and a little nervous about looking for parking if we took it out exploring. As the other reviews say, you need to be able to do many stairs to come and go from this wonderful spot but the view is worth it. We took a day trip to the Isle of Capri from Praiano Beach which is just a short walk down, but it is a big walk back up, you can take the city bus back as an option which we did. We took the bus to Positano, Amalfi and from there to Ravello which was pretty easy. The bus gets full later in the day so be prepared for that, you may need to wait for several. All in all we loved this place. Thank you for a wonderful and and all your help!!

The apartment was fabulous with a beautiful view of the sea. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our two week stay. Pascale was utterly amazing. So kind and very helpful. We had a couple of dinners cooked for us which we ate out on the balcony. Praiano was a jewel along the Amalfi coast, not too busy but with ample shops and restaurants. It was very easy to get about as there were plenty of buses so no need for a car. I would not hesitate to go back, perfect!

Suited our needs perfectly! Bed was comfortable, kitchen fully equipped, nice terrace with great views! We really enjoyed the quietness of Praiano and would stay here again in a heartbeat! Giovanna's communication is excellent, and we had no trouble finding the apartment as well as finding parking for our rental car. Tip: do not come to the area without visiting the La Tagliata restaurant - best meal we had on the Coast, and they were all good!

We felt so fortunate to have such a warm welcome and very attentive host in Praiano. Pasquale was always willing to help us in any way because He really want us to enjoy our stay in the town that I loved so much. The Location was perfect, there were about 85 stairs to get from the unit to get to a walking path and that wasn't bad compared to other places. It was easy to walk to two restaurants and there was a local bus to help get to others. Praiano was situated between Amalfi and Positano so you could choose to take the bus either way. The unit is extremely clean and comfortable. View from the terrace is absolutely perfect. We can't say enough about Pasquale, he was so friendly and accommodating. Truly a gentleman in every way.

A wonderful place to stay, a beautiful and bright suite, with a breathtaking view from the deck! Praiano is so beautiful, and a quieter town, after going to Positano which was very busy and crowded, we were happy to come back to our little piece of paradise in Praiano! There is a grocery and wine store 5 min walk away, and a very nice restaurant too, also more restaurants within 20 min. walk! Just enough steps to get your exercise, then relax on the deck and enjoy the incredibly beautiful view! Pasquale greeted us with such a warm welcome, he was the kindest, most gracious host ever! And we so appreciate all he did for us! Thank you! Highly recommended, and can't wait to go back! Patricia and John from BC Canada

Charmingly situated on the hillside accessed via a maze of alleys and steep steps, this apartment was our perfect hideaway. The view from the balcony was everything we had hoped for.

Pros: Amazing balcony and view Very modern 2 bed, 2 bath with washing machine Full Kitchen Great location Very quiet Excellent host Cons: Bed is not very comfortable Stairs can be too much for elderly Overall: Excellent location if you want peace and quiet. The only noise we could hear was the boats gently bobbing in the ocean. Dont come here if you cant do stairs. When an entire town is built on the side of a mountain with limited roads you must be mobile enough to climb stairs. Bus ride there from Sorrento is crazy with the narrow roads and curvy roads, wife threw up on the way back.

We have been to the amalfi coast (including getting married there) 6 times now. We have been and stayed everywhere. We went back this year looking for somewhere quiet and relaxing, and we found the perfect place here in praiano. The apartment has a fantastic balcony and view, great kitchen, including gas cooker (whcih we used a lot) It was absolutely spotless clean and had wonderful neighbours. The bed was very comfortable and most of all it was quiet. We hardly left the place (which is what we wanted, having visited the coast a few times) It is located not far from a brilliant supermarket which literally has everything including a great wine cellar. If a quiet relaxing holiday is what you are after and you dont plan on doing too much moving around and sightseeing then this is the perfect spot. We will definitely be going back again. We loved the place. about praiano ------------------ Paraiano itself lies between positano and amalfi and the local positano bus (5 min walk away) is perfect if you need to go to positano. The SITA bus runs along the main road (10 min walk down paths and steps) between amalfi and positano and runs relatively frequently (although it is always packed as it continues on to sorrento and may not pick you up) There isnt much to praiano to be honest, and its a bit of a walk away (20-25mins) but we knew that. And there is a fair bit of walking if you want to do anything (most of this will include plenty of steps). Again we were prepared for this. Dont expect a huge range of restaurants. The beaches are busy but the water perfect. If you intend 'basing' yourself in praiano to visit the amalfi area (positano, capri, amalfi, ravello) then i would strongly recommend not to do so (especially in august). getting to positano and amalfi isnt too bad, but getting back is a nightmare and can take more then 2 hours (for a 10km trip). Now, we did go in august so its MUCH busier then. Earlier and later in the season it wont be as bad and its less hot too. Forget about parking in the high season. There are some free parkings spots but youve a better chance of winning the lotto then finding one most of the time. to re-iterate again, we went this year in august, which is high season and the busiest time of the year. May/june and septmeber are perfect times for the amalfi coast and you will find moving around a lot easier then.
