I would recommend looking elsewhere for an accommodation.
We experienced *BED BUGS* at this rental. My entire family was affected, particularly one of my sons who has hundreds of bites all over his face, arms and legs. My wife could see the black flecks on the bed sheets daily which is a sign of bed bugs feces. I’ve notified the host but have not received a response.
The unit has 2 restrooms, both of which need major remodel. The main restroom has a very flimsy shower pan that was cracked and felt unstable whenever we used the shower.
The location is not ideal and it’s quite a long and treacherous walk into the main Praiano town for groceries and restaurants. It’s also a uphill 15-20 minute walk back to the flat, which is a struggle if you’re carrying groceries/supplies. You also need to walk up and down a long and steep set of stairs to access the unit since it is situated on the side of a bluff. This is especially difficult to maneuver with heavy luggage, so something to consider if you’re limited in any way physically.
Another thing to consider is having a car. Not ideal to rent a car due to the lack of parking and also the drive along the lone coastal road is quite dangerous. I asked the host to recommend a car service. He suggested his acquaintance Luigi Sabino who owns a car service. Round trip car service from Napoli main train terminal to Praiano and back cost 280 Euro. I used Luigi for local car service one day for Praiano to Amalfi, Amalfi to Ravello, and Ravello back to Praiano. Total cost for those 3 local trips was 240 Euro, which I though was ridiculous. I would definitely arrange car service and tours on your own ahead of time.
I think if we ever come back to the Amalfi Coast, we will stay in a nicer hotel in a more convenient location.

Wonderful time !
Wonderful time !
Three couples staying on the Amalfi coast. Praiano is a nice quiet town. The view from the patio is spectacular. We sat out there and drank wine in the evening. The kitchen has a coffee maker and expresso pot but its the old fashioned kind. They don't stock coffee so you need to bring it with you or stop at the small market in town. The steps are many and it makes luggage transport a work out but that would not stop us from returning!!!

If you are after a quieter amalfi coast experience then praiano is much better than positano, so much more real and so much more laid back. House is a short walk from town, some may like that, some not. The town itself is very spread out. The accomodation is fine, fantastic outlook, plenty of room, nice and quiet, good kitchen, slightly old fashioned, but that maybe an Italian thing. Clean and tidy. A few little details such as coffee/milk being there on arrival could make the place go from very nice to excellent. The manager was easy to get hold of and fixed the wifi modem when it was broken, returning it the next morning.,which no kids seem to be able to live without these days. All in all a very enjoyable stay., but one word of caution, which is not specific to this house, if you are self driving the parking can be a nightmare.

Villa Fortuna is a typical Amalfi Coast apartment in Praiano with domed ceilings. The district where it is located is called Vettica Maggiore. Going down a flight of 70 steps you reach the entrance. The apartment has been recently renovated and is furnished in a modern style with some antique pieces. It comes with 3 double bedrooms(two with a matrimonial bed, the third one has a matrimonial and a single bed), two bathrooms with shower. Furthermore there is a wide living room with sofas, seats, internet wi-fi and a satellite television set, a dining zone with a marble table for eight guests and a kitchen furnished with washing machine, a refrigerator, microwave, electric oven, dishwashing machine and gas stove. From the terrace you have an unobstructed view onto the sea and the coastline and can enjoy the amazing sunsets. Partly shaded by a pergola with a reed roof, it is furnished with sun loungers, tables and chairs. You enter it either through the kitchen or through the living room. Thanks to its protection it is particularly suitable for children. In the centre of Praiano, at 500 meters from the house, there are bars, groceries with home delivery, shops and restaurants. If you do not like to walk, just use the frequent and unexpensive public transportation service. The local bus, as well as the SITA bus for Sorrento, Amalfi, Positano and Ravello stops next to the house. The closest beach is La Gavitella, at about 400 meters and also the famous Sentiero degli Dei can be reached easily.
