As soon as you enter the house you will be attracted by the panorama that will be in front of you.

In front of you there will be breathtaking view in its entirety: below you will see a stripe of white house of Praiano, each one surrounded by the green of its own garden, which is roughly interrupted by the blue sea.

The Torre di Grado watchtower and the majolica dome of the Church of Saint Gennaro stand among the houses. On your right, your sight will embrace a wide view of the coast which surrounds the characteristic village of Positano, and will reach Punta Campanella and the island of Capri.

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.

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.

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)

I don't think there's a better view anywhere in the world. Great people, great town, well equipped, comfortable, AIRCON in 2 rooms was an unbelievably great thing this summer. Excellent place to stay! Luca and Summer In Italy team were great to deal with

We knew we didn’t want to stay in a town overrun by tourists or businesses that cater to tourists - thank goodness businesses here close for afternoon rest - good reminder! Great communication with host, home was perfect. I liked Summer In Italy company. You were recommended by a friend who frequently travels to Italy.

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.
