Made Our Trip The Best Ever

Wonderful home with fantastic views. Well equipped with everything you need. Large terrace to enjoy the awesome views. But what makes this VRBO stand apart from all others are the hosts. They go above and beyond in making your stay a memorable one. Great and prompt communication. They take care of you like you are a part of the family. We will be back. Best experience ever.

Perfetto!

Everything about our two week stay at this delightful property was a total sensual pleasure. From the fresh sea breezes to the freshly sun dried bedding on the supremely comfortable beds. My sister and I enjoyed our own rooms and bathrooms and had breakfast every morning on the terrace overlooking the sea and the yachts sailing by. One room is much more spacious and light than the other and has direct access to the terrace - and I won! Our hosts were gracious and lovely, and were both entertaining and a great source of information. We very much appreciated the fact that Praiano is very quiet and sleepy, especially since it is so close to Positano (quite the opposite) where much shopping and entertainment can be found. The beach club at Marina di Praia, situated between two high cliffs, was lovely, with multiple wonderful restaurants just steps away. The price for two beach chairs and an umbrella was 50 euros. The only real downside was the public transit system which was unpredictable (despite our use of the Moovit app) and very crowded. The schedule seemed to change mid way thru our 2 week stay So we made sure the tours we booked to Capri and Pompeii included bus transportation to those sites. Also, the stairs are no joke so be prepared! We thoroughly enjoyed a fabulous cooking class in Praiano led by members of Italy’s slow food movement and included foraging for wild herbs like arugula. Don’t miss the amazing gelato at Bar del Sole!

Spectacular Praiano/A slice of heaven

We had an amazing time in this little slice of heaven property. It was very comfortable and clean with an absolutely gorgeous view. The two bedrooms and two baths were perfect and provided ample space. The communications with these amazing hosts was first rate and so informative. Responses were very quick and gave great information. They also arranged transportation for us for our departure. All information was clearly stated prior to booking the property so please read carefully. The Amalfi coast requires many steps including this property which is clearly communicated by these hosts. The property is located in a more quiet area which we enjoyed to get away from the crowds. Grocery stores, ATM, and 3 restaurants are very convenient to the property. However, what makes this property stand out are the hosts, Pasquale and Giovanna. We have stayed at many of VRBO type properties and have never experienced the hospitality provided by them. They wanted to make sure we had all our questions answered and were having a great time. They are truly SUPER HOSTS and lovely individuals. So thank you for sharing your home.

Breathtaking views!

We loved our stay! The views were amazing with sunrise views and breathtaking sea views! The unit was clean and well appointed. Giovanna was an amazing host, answering all of our questions prior to arrival and assisting with transfers from the train station. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again! Praiano was beautiful and centrally located on the Amalfi coast.

Heaven on Earth

Where to start?? Giovanna and Pasquale were the most amazing hosts. They met us at our taxi drop off, helped with our luggage to the apartment, made sure we had dinner, baked us a cake, provided Prosecco - and that was just the beginning! The apartment was perfect and provided for everything we were looking for. We were so happy to have stayed in the quaint and cozy town of Praiano - with the convenience of spending time in bustling Positano and Amalfi. And Praiano has fantastic restaurants and beaches besides the amazing views. Thank you Giovanna and Pasquale for sharing your apartment and giving us the vacation of a lifetime.

Bella Vista!!!

The first thing to mention, is the breathtaking patio overlooking the Amalfi coast. Morning, afternoon and evening, the Bella vista is premium. The location was prime. We felt like a local walking through the village, past restaurants with terraces full of ambiance. Access to groceries at Tutto Tutti and a few wonderful restarting options within walking distance. Be prepared for the stairs… 67 of them to access this apartment. If you need help with your luggage hire a porter in advance. The apartment is a charming 2 bed 2 bath with A/c - phew! We needed it, as it was a second summer. The hosts are so lovely and accommodating and give you all the privacy you want, while ensuring that you are comfortable and always willing to answer any questions that you might have. Transportation is super easy in Praiano, with several options to access the town as well as neighbouring towns/cities. The local beaches are phenomenal and a must see. I highly recommend this apartment for your stay in Praiano. Bellisimo.

Paradise Found!!!

I have to begin by saying that Pasquale and Giovanna are the greatest hosts ever. Giovanna is so attentive in communicating with you before your trip. Her communication is fantastic! Pasquale met us at the bus, helped us with our luggage, gave us tomatoes and basil from his garden, and cooked us a delicious lunch one day. You truly do feel like their family when you are there. I miss them and wish I could have stayed forever. The apartment itself is delightful. It was very comfortable for my family of four. My kids are 17 and 12. The views are to die for. They are exactly as pictured in the photos. It is truly paradise. I went back and forth as to whether I wanted to stay in the heart to Positano and/or Amalfi. There is not much going on in Praiano. My whole family agreed that it was the smart choice to stay in Praiano. It felt like coming home to our secret relaxing home. It was an authentic experience. We took the city bus to the other towns. At first it seemed daunting but then we got the hang of it and the craziness of it added to our Italian experience. I will tell you that the stairs are no joke. They are not easy so if you have any kind of issue that would make it hard for you then just beware. I am not in great shape. I took them slowly. Saying that, staying at this apartment was the highlight of our trip. And my family and I feel blessed to have had spent time with Pasquale and Giovanna. They are special people and this is a special place.

Great stay with super friendly hosts

The flat was very tidy, clean, well equipped and comfortable. Easy to access. Close walking distance to two small grocery stores, a gym/bar (not making it up), a scooter rental, a few restaurants and the bus stop. Pasquale and Giovanna were extremely friendly and ready to offer advice. Highly recommended.

Very nice stay

It was a bit complicated to find the location, Giovanna gave many informations and directions but it was a little hard to follow since it was very very detailed. I think it would be easier to just say meet me at (one exact location) that we can put in the gps rather than very detailed directions to find the property. Otherwise Pasquale, Giovanna’s husband was nice when we managed to find him. He was very sweet and wanted us to have the best stay possible. Very nice stay overall, nice view and nice place ! Thank you

A Small Piece of Paradise

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.

The best stay in Praiano

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!

Highly recommended.

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.

Italian experience

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.

Amazing View

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.

Praiano

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!!!!! ❤💋

Outstanding

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.

Soul soothing

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!!

Beautiful vista

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.

Piece of Heaven

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.

One of our nicest holidays to remember

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

Beautiful apartment with beautiful views!

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
