A Truly Blessed (Benedetta) Stay
WOW! More than we could’ve ever imagined. We enjoyed our first evening at Villa Benedetta having dinner on the terrace, curated and served by Chef Balda. A candle lit dinner under a beautiful star fall with fresh ocean breezes. Chef Balda meticulously paired each serving with excellent wines. All the food was either from his farm or locally selected. You will never have olive oil beyond his own. All the wines were of his own vintage.
Maria, your host, made this recommendation along with many others, from transportation to local dining to grocery delivery!! Maria was thorough, kind, loving and generous with her time and understanding. She was very prompt in her response from before our stay, all the way until we departed. The area is amazing for floating in the Mediterranean Sea, day trip to Positano, water taxis at your request, and good meals right in Marina di Praia.
Views from Villa Benedetta were breathtaking, beds were comfortable, views up the mountain and over the sea were equally serene. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets were experienced every day. Cool breezes blew through the house every day. Having A/C units in each room can be very helpful in the warmer months.
Praiano is not for the faint of heart as there are steep hills, stairs everywhere…great for beautiful views and walking off the delicious meals.
Thank you owners and host very much for a magical, blessed vacation.
