Highly Recommended! Loved it...
We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Imperati. Once you get used to the stairs, which provided endless exercise, the Villa itself was great. The pool was a much needed addition, particularly with the heat and stairs. Praiano itself was great, we chose their as we wanted to be away from the over-crowded areas like Amalfi and Positano and after visiting these 2 places, I am certainly glad we chose Praiano. Only 2 things that could be better about the Villa - the beds were a little on the hard side and the internet was a little inconsistent and didn't work in bedrooms. A big shout out to Norman who was fantastic right throughout our stay. He was always available to answer our questions, organised a tour for us which was brilliant and was friendly, helpful and patient at all times. Thank you Norman, you really added to our stay! Will always remember our stay here!!! Thanks again.

Wonderful stay in Praiano
we loved our villa. Praiano is a gem. The management team was super helpful. The villa was spotless and the pool was refreshing. Only area is the airconditioning the master does not cool that room. I would add supplemental air or add some fans.

We had a wonderful time at Villa Imperati!
We loved the views, the beautiful architecture of the villa, the art work on the path ways, the people in the town of Praiano. Che Bonta, the cooking class down the street at Il Rifugio Dei Peccatori, the Kasai Restaurant, etc… The Villa was somewhat difficult to get to but worth the walk and climb. Transportation to get anywhere is not overly easy, there is a walk&#47climb (paths and stairways) about half a mile to down to town and up to the villaacross to a street to meet cars. Requires luggage porting and drivers to get to most destinations, shoppingrestaurants. But it is a good work out and kick start to bring healthy work out when your vacation is over! :)

Not a great stay
We booked this listing for 5 nights and left after one. Upon arrival, it took two hours to get the AC to turn on even when following the instructions and then it never cooled and the pool was stagnant with a film layer and bugs. We then found mold and bugs throughout the home. To access one of the bedrooms, you have to go through another bedroom and only one has an AC vent. The upstairs bedroom only has a tub that wouldn’t fill above 1/3 and one of the two showers was so small half of our group couldn’t use it. To make matters worse, the mattresses were so hard you couldn’t sleep. The main door locks from the inside with a key and will not open unless turned perfectly, so we would not have been able to escape in an emergency. Based on the pictures, we were led to believe this was a luxury listing and were extremely disappointed in the reality. There were too many issues that couldn’t not be fixed overnight (bad mattresses, mold, water pressure, etc) so we left and got a hotel.

Best View and Nice Property even though finding the place and a lot of steps.
Dear Hangcheng, so happy to read that you appreciated the beauty of our accommodation. The steps and the stairs are the weak point and the strong point of our beloved Amalfi Coast: they allow you to reach breathtaking views. For this reason we indicate them in the details in the descriptions of our accommodations. We really look forward to host you again! Anna - SMAAC Amalfi Coast Team

The house and the property manager were excellent and helped us tremendously throughout our stay. It was nice to stay there and not in Positano, as Positano is extremely crowded. The little town in Praiano is very cute and has everything but the steps are treacherous to get back to the house or to get down to the main street.

Great stay in Praiano
Francesco was a great host. He was very responsive, and very helpful when it came to local recommendations and services. Check in was easy and the place was very clean with a great layout for a family. The kids loved the pool. Overall it was a great stay. One thing worth noting, it does take a little work to get to the closest store so bring your sneakers.we would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Stay!
My family of five had a wonderful stay @ Villa Imperati. It was a perfect place for us to come back to and relax by the pool after venturing out all over the Amalfi coast. The views are breathtaking and there are so many great restaurants right near the villa - the location is great. Francesco was very attentive and helped us navigate our stay here and helped with arranging day trips and transportation which made our stay - stress free. 😊

Praiano
Overall a great stay and good value for the price. As mentioned there is a lot of stairs but that is to be expected in this region. We had a hiccup with the pool but the manager was great and worked with us on that. He was very helpful and quick to respond with anything we needed. The house seemed to have all the essentials, the only thing I thought was missing is a espresso machine. We ate out all the time but that would have been nice for the mornings.

Nice quiet stay with view of Positano
The property manager was great at always answering all our questions. Glad we used the Porter service for the stairs as it can be quite difficult if not. Overall great nice place with shops and bars close by. Just be prepared to make the trek down stairs and back up which can be quite difficult for older folks or those not in decent shape. Great communication!

Paradise in Praiano
We loved every second of our stay at this property. We had two adults and 4 kids who were able to spread out and have our own space while also enjoying all the wonderful gathering spaces (like that beautiful pool!). The views of the coast were breathtaking. And whatever you need on or off the property, Francesco and his management company were extremely attentive. They helped us with restaurant recommendations, boat excursions, transportation to different activities, anything we could think of! They were so kind and helpful. This was a very special property and we hope someday to return to experience all the Amalfi Coast magic.

Wow..What a villa and facilities in an excellent location!
We have just returned from 10 days at this villa in Praiano! Wow, this was a fabulous villa with all of the necessary amenities and in such a fabulous location. From the views, to the facilities to the pool (to cool off) and the overall homely feel, it was one of the best villas we have stayed at! Also, excellent support from Norman and the SMAAC team whenever we needed anything, any ask was actioned quickly and made the stay very comfortable! Thank you! Nothing specifically from the villa or facilities. Just bear in mind the steps to walk to the village (around 190 vertical steps for most direct route). We used the longer route which was a hill walk but you still need to be mobile and fit!! The walking is worth it though! I would highly recommend the porter service for the bags and parking permit, helped tremendously. All can be booked through SMAAC

Wonderful!
Absolutely breathtaking views of Capri and Positano from the top of the villa. Pool wonderful in the heat. Trip of a lifetime. Norman was fantastic in his communication and helped book loads of restaurants and a trip to Capri - expensive but definitely worth it. Thank you Norman! Porter strongly recommended for taking heavy luggage upto the property. Download the video or have internet so you know how to reach the villa - the streets are a bit of a maze. 5 stars. Grazie mille! Ben

Beautiful home!
The pictures don’t do this property justice! It’s beautiful and spotless. The views are incredible and the pool is perfect. Norman was a wonderful help—did an amazing job food shopping for us and talked us in when we got a little turned around at check in. Just know there are about 220 steps down to the Main Street, bust stop etc. it’s pretty steep and significant—granted all of the coast is this way. Get the porter at check-in. It’s just worth it. The home is lovely and Praiano is a delightful escape from the craziness, although a quick bus ride to everywhere.

Great Villa with stunning views of Positano
This house is beautiful and was a very nice place to stay in the heart of Amalfi. The access to the house requires a 5 minute walk with many stairs so definitely keep this in mind and try to arrange a porter to take your luggage if you have a lot to carry.

Fantastisk utsikt och fint hus!
Det är många och långa trappor i Praiano och till huset gick det inte att köra fram med bilen men vi fick hjälp att bära fram våra väskor. Eftersom vi reste med stora barn så var trapporna inget problem. Huset hade en underbar utsikt och var fint! Huset låg i nära anslutning till trapporna som leder upp till Gudarnas Stig.

Villa Imperiati - Praiano
The villa was clean, spacious, well equipped, and as described. It was also in a fabulous location! The property management company was very easy to work with from beginning to end. While we chose not to use them to book any “extras” such as excursions, etc., we thought that was a very nice touch and would be quite useful for travelers seeking that type of vacation and those types of services. When we did have a “problem” (there was a power outage following a thunderstorm), it was handled immediately and professionally. We were also impressed that there was a level of trust and respect when it came to the check out process and our payment of occupancy tax, which we did not have (in cash) when we checked in...but because we had established a rapport with our management team throughout our stay, it was okay that we just leave the cash for the occupancy tax on the kitchen table as we departed. This made for a very easy check out day for us which we very much appreciated.

Amalfi Coast vacation
We spent 5 nights at the villa and overall had a wonderful stay. The villa is spacious and having the pool was really convenient as we were able to just relax and let the kids play in the pool at times. Praiano is a good location from which to explore the Amalfi Coast...as it’s nowhere near as manic as nearby Positano. You do need to be prepared to walk up/down lots of stairs though! The property is managed by a group called SMAAC. Overall, they do a good job with check-in/check-out service and general communication and information. They offer a number of additional activities...one of which was having a chef come to the house. The chef was wonderful...but it was quite pricey. At €200 for 2 adults and 2 kids plus groceries that you pay on the spot (for us it added another €115!!)...it was expensive...and that is not inclusive of a beverage of any description. Added to that, the chef didn’t speak much English and there is no choice of what is cooked once they arrive ( which is not great for kids). We had to prepare some different food for our youngest once the chef left. Another thing to note is that parking is at an additional charge and is not close to the villa (probably a 10min walk with stairs). We took the offer for free porter service upon arrival which was great - definitely take that option! The service was not offered for departure. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend the villa. The Amalfi Coast is a stunning place to explore!
