Casa Delma: A characteristic independent house built on the sloping cliff in front of the sea, with Free WI-FI.

Casa Delma is a characteristic independent house built on the sloping cliff in front of the sea. It sleeps three people.

Casa Delma is 50 square meters (540 square feet). It features two private terraces, air conditioning (please read description below to check in which rooms the units are installed) and WI-FI Internet access.
You will be in the center of Praiano, approximately 100 meters (330 feet) from restaurants, shops and the stop for the SITA bus and for the local bus. You will find the closest beach (Spiaggia della Gavitella) at roughly 600 meters (660 yards) including 400 stairway steps.

The moment you step inside, you'll be captivated by the stunning panoramic view before you. Even from the comfort of the living room, the glass doors frame an endless expanse of sea and sky. Step out onto the terrace, and you'll be treated to a spectacular 180-degree view of one of the most picturesque stretches of the Amalfi Coast—a sight that will stay with you throughout your stay.


Below, the charming white houses of Praiano dot the landscape, each surrounded by lush gardens, creating a striking contrast with the deep blue sea. Among them, the historic Torre di Grado watchtower and the colorful majolica dome of the Church of Saint Gennaro stand out.


To your right, the breathtaking coastline unfolds, leading your gaze toward the iconic village of Positano, extending all the way to Punta Campanella and the island of Capri. On the horizon, the famous Faraglioni rock formations rise from the sea, while closer to shore, you can admire the enchanting Li Galli islands.


For a day at the beach, you can take a short bus ride or enjoy a scenic one-mile walk to Marina di Praia, a charming beach lined with restaurants and seaside cafés. Alternatively, descend a picturesque staircase of approximately 400 steps to reach the secluded Gavitella Beach, where you can soak up the Mediterranean sun. Both beaches offer services and dining options during the summer season.

Wonderful stay

I stayed with my two young children (ages 5 and 7). We had a wonderful stay here. There was plenty of room for us and the views were absolutely breathtaking. Our train was delayed and we arrived much later than planned (about 9:30pm). I kept in touch with the host and there was no issues meeting later. Everything we needed was within walking distance. There's a few sets of stairs and steep road to walk up, which was expected with the area we were staying. My kids had no issues with walking to and from the property to nearby areas. The beaches are a bit of a walk away (one was a total of 544 steps away) but we managed. We didn't take the bus but the stop was very close to our stay.

Wonderful location, gracious hosts

We stayed two weeks here. Great hosts - Giovanni and Giovanni were always helpful and informative. Perfect house for a couple with two full baths and fantastic view of the coast including Positano, Capri, Li Galli, the Faraglioni and more. Two short sets of stairs to get to the home. 5 min walk to the bus stop and several restaurants. Praiano is the best location for for a stay on the Amalfi Coast, away from the crowds yet close enough for easy visits to all the. Towns of the Coster’s Amalfitana.

Wonderful hosts

My partner and I stayed here during our visit to the Amalfi coast. The place itself was good, as expected. The host is definitely the highlight - Mr. Giovanni treated us with the most delicious figs fresh from his garden, and just a wonderful man to interact with (even though he didn't speak English)

The views of this place are amazing and the place itself is super cozy. The only downside is it is a walk up a fairly steep hill but what isn't in the Amalfi coast. The owners were extremely kind and responsive with anything we needed.

This was our fourth visit to Casa Placida

This was our fourth visit to Casa Placida. It is a wonderful place to stay. A simple, local house representative of what Praiano is all about, an authentic local working town. The house has everything one needs. We cooked almost all our meals in the excellent kitchen. Lovely owners who have lived here for many years with the most amazing vegetable garden. I have used many booking sites over the years but I think Summer In Italy is one of the best. It is very personal and freely to use. Also easy to find places to rent.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Placida

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Placida. Giovanni and his family are absolutely wonderful people and we had a super 1 week stay in Praiano. I loved seeing Giovanni in his garden every morning and talking to him about life in general, it reminded me of my Grandparents. We hope to return someday and will stay here again.

We loved the house

We loved the house! The view was beautiful and we saw many sunsets and a great view of Positano in the day and night. The kitchen was very easy to use and we were provided salt, pepper, garlic and lemons which made our cooking easier. We would have also appreciated some sugar and oil but we were able to buy it in the little grocery store! The reviews and photos were great.

If you want discover the Amalfi Coast, Casa Placida in Praiano is the best dwelling possible

If you want discover the Amalfi Coast, Casa Placida in Praiano is the best dwelling possible. Indeed, Praiano is near to Sorrento, Amalfi and Positano, the most important towns of the coast. By the way, you can easily travel from Praiano to these towns because the SITA bus stop is just at the bottom of the hill leading you to Casa Placida (50 meters, more or less). The views from the two balconies are just exceptional, we have just no word to describe how beautiful the views were. It's simple, we never saw a view like that in our life! The dwelling is very calm, clean and well equipped. The pictures are true to the reality, and the bedding was very good just as the two bathroom. Our host was just perfect! We spent the best vacation of our life thanks to the Casa Placida and we have no negative point to say, just go to the Casa Placida!

This is heaven on earth!!!

Nicola and Giovanni were so hospitable! They made us feel like family, like a long lost relative. Giovanni surprised us with figs from his garden one morning !! So delicious! We were there for 11 days and the photos don’t do it justice. The best location - at least 10 restaurants within walking distance. The views from each deck were breathtaking and each morning and night were unbelievable. The bus stop is 60 feet away. Praiano is the quiet gem 10 minutes from the Positano or Amalfi night life. We can’t wait to go back !

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Placida, made even better by the thoughtfulness and kindness of our hosts, Nicola and his father Giovanni. The view from the spacious terrace is unbeatable, even better than the image, and it was magical to return to it each evening after a day spent exploring. As context for this review, this was our fourth visit to the Amalfi Coast and we’ve always ended up in great accommodation so our expectations were high. Even so, we were very impressed by Casa Placida - its location, view, spaciousness, the quality of facilities offered. We wouldn’t look any further in relation to a future visit - for us it was perfect. Good support from Summer In Italy.

The view was wonderful

The view was wonderful. The house was very clean and the owners, who lived below, were very respectful of our privacy. Other than the spectacular views from the terraces, the house was ordinary. Praiano itself was amazing, not crowded, and there were amazing restaurants. All in all I would go back there and stay at Casa Placida. Had no problems at all. Everything went smoothly with Summer In Italy. Communication was good, no surprises.
