Casa Vela is built on two levels, which follow the contour of the steep rocky cliff. Its rooms and terraces face the sun, the sea and the sky.
You will arrive to a terrace which will be your private parking lot. A stairway of 15 steps, placed next to the parking lot, will take you straight to the terrace of the house. You will have to stop to admire the fascinating view of the sea and of the coast that will be in front of you.
Your sight will go over an uninterrupted view of a wide horizon of sea and sky, enclosed on the right by a cape coverd by olive trees and on the left by a large tract of splendid coast.
The tract of coast that you will be able to admire goes from the village of Praiano, made up of little white houses which cling to a green promontory, to the ancient Watch Tower on the sea, to the elegant promontory of Cape Conca.
Looking down from the terrace you will see the coast below your feet that steeply dives into the sea. At the back of the house you will see the profile of the Lattari mountains, the mountains of the Amalfi Coast.
The air is clear, clean and perfumed by the nearby lemon groves. All around there is tranquillity and peace: you will immediately feel that this will be your favorite place to relax and allow the magic beauty that is around to charm you.
The terraces of Casa Vela are lighted, and you will find that they are a perfect place to dine under the stars, in front of the reflection of the moon in the sea.
The closest beach is the charming beach of Marina di Praia, situated in a point where a small valley dug by the erosion meets, among the high rocks, a sea of the color of the emerald.
You can walk there along a tract of the coastal road, and then taking a "scalinatella" that will take you to the Saracen watch tower by the sea. From there you will be able to take a charming downhill pedestrian alley, cut into the rock, sheer above the sea, which will take you to the beach.
Along the walk you will find a couple of small and characteristic cafes and restaurants, open in the good season, where you will be able to have breakfast or dine on the rocks above the sea.
The entrance to the house is located on a little road which is only open to local traffic.

Our two week stay at Casa Vela was the best vacation ever. It is a beautiful house surrounded by flowers and a spectacular view of the Mediterranean. We were happy to be in Praiano, a quiet village away from - but close to - the bustling Positano and Amalfi.
Our hosts were more than helpful, welcoming and friendly.
The people at Summer In Italy were a joy with whom to work: responsive, professional and friendly. Booking our stay could not have been easier. I highly recommend Summer In Italy.

Casa Vela (Villino Blue) was a perfect, beautiful stay for our small family (3 adults, 1 couple + 1) on the Amalfi coast.
Gianluca (GL) the host went above and beyond with recommendations for our travel, arranging reservations for us and even picked us up at the beach where we arrived by water taxi. After navigating many travel details throughout Italy, the concierge-like service along with this amazing location made it a highlight of our trip.
We got by without a car as we embrace the many steps, walking and figuring out the local transportation. If you do have a car, the villa comes with a parking space, which is rare for this area, though driving would be its own challenge in this hill towns.
The villa has most anything one needs for comfort, cooking and a nice local character. GL and his family are nearby and available for questions or assistance.
Systems-plumbing, AC etc are a bit quirky as is normal in Italy.
Location is in middle of town/hill so good loc for accessing both lower sites: beaches, the village “center”, water side walks; road and transportation to other Amalfi Coast locations and also upper sites: some amazing restaurants, churches and the hiking trail Sentiero degli Dei.
The views and sun at all times of day from the two patios are reason enough to stay here.

The pictures online do not do it justice! The views are amazing. The home has everything you need and then some. It was perfect. Even has private parking which is rare on the Amalfi Coast.
Gianluca, our host was amazing! He helped us with local secrets of where to go and where to eat. He helped with transfers and was an all around amazing host. Goes above and beyond!
We will be sending a few friends here and we will return to stay. It really was perfect.
Summer In Italy was easy to book with. No issues. They were very responsive.

My friend and I stayed at the Villino Blu for 7d/6n. The home is very lovely, clean and a quiet great location. It comes with a parking space, which for us was very important. The beds are comfortable and rooms are spacious. The air conditioner was working perfectly the entire time. The bathrooms are small! The showers are very small. I am 5'3" and 135lbs, I found the shower stall very uncomfortable and at times I had to turn water off just to be able to move myself better to clean. We had trouble once with the water pressure and the issue was taken care of and resolved immediately. The owner/manager was always a phone call/text away and always answered us within 30 min. He was both helpful and very easy to work with.
The view is spectacular and cannot be beat. Being able to walk up and see the sun come up over the mountains and onto the sea was quite possibly the most amazing time of the day. The public beach is walking distance (about 15-20min) however remember when walking down, you need to walk back up and there are many steep inclines and steps. There are a few restaurants and the local market for food was walking distance as well. The local bus is 2 min walk from Villa and easy to figure out so you can get to Positano or Amalfi. The manager was also willing to pick us up from Positano if we missed the bus back, which was above and beyond in my book. You will not be disappointed with Villino Blu, very nice start to our 2 week holiday

Villino Blu is amazing. Best views in the best town on the Amalfi Coast.
Incredible outdoor space with the two terraces, both of which are huge. Kitchen is super well-equipped, bedroom is incredible, well situated and large. Having two beautiful bathrooms is a luxury. If one had to look far and wide for the slightest thing to complain about, it would be the terraces are so big and accommodating, the view from inside is limited. But who wants to be inside when on the Amalfi Coast??!!
Absolutely nothing can be done to improve the terrific service and attention we received from Summer in Italy. From communication, to flexibility to information, Summer in Italy was fantastic.

Sincerely, we had an incredible week at Villino Blu. To begin with, staying in Praiano is ideal to visit the Amalfi Coast as it is not only central but also the less touristy of the lot villages of the area.
As for the property, it offers an incredible view with two terraces (with mobile screens to alleviate exposure when necessary) and a practical and beautiful architecture on two levels, as well as a parking spot just above the apartment which is a rare gem for the Coast. In addition, the owners have thought of everything to ease your stay from a very well furnished kitchen with a dishwasher, a washing machine, a very efficient air conditioning setup individually configurable in rooms to beach carpets and umbrella.
And last but not the least, Gianluca, who greeted us, truly went out of his way to help us and ensure we had the most pleasant stay. This deserves a particular mention as it really enhanced our experience. Can’t think of any improvements, really… Do keep offering your wonderful hospitality in your incredible apartment!
Overall, I highly recommend Villino Blu and will not even consider other options on future trips to the Amalfi Coast since everything was simply perfect and above my expectations.
Availability of interesting apartments is what motivated my choosing of Summer In Italy. Everything went very smoothly and I received prompt feedback and confirmation as I needed.

Family Amalfi Coast trip
We travel often (parents & two teenage children) and would rather stay in private homes or apartments so we use VRBO. This is lengthy but I feel it needs to be....
I will start by saying we have never had such a GREAT experience with a home owner. We had some issues getting to Italy (not at fault of the home owner) but immediately upon our arrival from the United States, we were contacted by Gianluca (20 year old son of the home owners Maurizo & Alessandra and fluent in English). Gianluca helped resolve many issues we had with transportation (even though he did not have to) and went out of his way to make this one of the best trips we have had to Europe. Maurizo even spoke to our taxi driver on the phone for several minutes because of translation issues when we first arrived in Italy and we would NOT have been able to initially get to the property without the HELP of Maurizo.
Our teenage son got sick during our stay and Gianluca even helped get us medicine in the small town of Praiano, helped arrange places to eat, tours, taxis, etc. throughout the Almalfi Coast and communicated with us daily. He even got us adapters for our cell phone charges because we forgot ours in the USA. Because of Gianluca, our trip will be one to remember despite the few days our son was sick and we cannot THANK him enough.
This property is exactly as pictured and we WILL return in the future. The homeowners live downstairs but you would never know unless you ask them for something.
I would HIGHLY recommend this property to anyone traveling to the Almalfi Coast but make sure you can walk because the beach, restaurants, etc. all require steep hills and hundreds of steps. The property has only a few stairs but to get anywhere you must be able to walk many stairs. This was not an issue with anyone in our party (we actually like walking and experiencing the town) but you should be aware.
Consider renting this property and you will not be disappointed.....

Amazing Villa
We loved this villa! It is a perfect location, away from the crowds but also an easy walk to restaurants and the market. The outdoor space is gorgeous and we could not have asked for a better host. Gianluca was exceptional and helped us with tours, taxis, scooters and anything we needed. We highly recommend Villino Blu!

We loved our stay at this cozy villa in Praiano. The views from the terraces were amazing and we spent much of our time relaxing outside taking in the beauty of the coast.The location was convenient with a grocery store close by and a number of restaurants within walking distance. The villa itself was perfect for our family of 4 and was more beautiful than the pictures.We were very glad that we chose Praiano to stay in as it was less crowded than some of the other towns and was a great place to unwind.I would definitely recommend this place to others.

Enjoyed the stay. The outdoor space was the plus for the stay - the indoor space was sufficient overall - and having laundry facilities was key to us. This was a very good place to stay. We appreciated the amenities and cleanliness.
We liked the location - overall - as it was equidistant between Marina di Praia Beach and the center of town.
The hosts / owners - were great.
Summer In Italy did a great job. You communicated well. Your options for information - like your newsletter and Facebook presence - were good resources.

The views from the two patios of this home are simply stunning. The home was perfect for our family of four.The manager met us in town, then led us up to the home.Driving is crazy along the Amalfi Coast, so we were happy to have a parking spot right at the entrance to the house.Be prepared to do a lot of walking in Praiano, but fortunately the house is walking distance to a local bus stop and grocery store.We chose to walk to the beach daily, which was challenging, but doable. Many restaurants offer a shuttle service and will pick you up at the home, making the location very convenient.The house was clean and very well stocked. Beds were comfortable. The showers were small, but the water pressure was fantastic. Would definitely recommend this home.

Villino Blu is an exceptional property on the Amalfi Coast
Villino Blu is an exceptional property on the Amalfi Coast. Its terraces are sunny and spacious and both have powered canopies if the sun becomes too much. Needless to stay that the views are amazing.
We cooked in a lot and would eat out on the terrace which has a beautiful table and chairs right off the kitchen. One of the best things about this house is that unlike most of the places on the Amalfi Coast, it is only one flight of stairs from the road. And IT HAS A PARKING SPACE!!! It's a little tight and it sits directly over the kitchen, but it has one.
The Praiano bus and the Praiano/Positano bus are just a short walk up the road and the coastal Sita bus stop, that will get you to Amalfi and Sorrento is just a short walk down the road. The market, Tutto per Tutti (Everything for Everyone) is less than a ten minute walk and literally has everything you could need.
This house is beautiful and we'd go back there in a minute. Highly recommended.
The owners were fantastic!! They live just below and were very quiet. Their 17 year old son, Gianluca was our point man. He is a fantastic young man and a pleasure to work with.
Fantastic service from Summer In Italy!!

We had a fabulous stay at Villino Blu! The house was pretty much perfect - other than the living room being part of the kitchen (not much to speak of) - the house met our needs.
The weather wasn't terrific the first few days, so we couldn't utilize our terraces (which overlooked the beautiful coast), but when we had the opportunity, we took it.
We used our car a lot because we traveled around the coast, but Praiano is the best little fishing village on the coast. Much less populated than places like Positano - and most things are in walking distance (or it was recommended to take the bus - although we never did). We were able to get a few things for breakfast including espresso (at a local little general store less than a mile away).
The owner (Maurizio) and the building manager (Adele) were both wonderful and accommodating. Adele met us when we arrived (by rental car) - and was extremely prompt (we called Maurizio an hour before our arrival as instructed). We were late getting in due to issues with our arrival (flight issues/delays), and they were wonderful and very helpful. Adele took us up to and through the house and got us acclimated.
Fabulous organization. Great follow up - would use Summer In Italy again! Much appreciate your details and all the suggestions. Thank you!

We loved our stay at this cozy villa in Praiano
We loved our stay at this cozy villa in Praiano. The views from the terraces were amazing and we spent much of our time relaxing outside taking in the beauty of the coast.
The location was convenient with a grocery store close by and a number of restaurants within walking distance. The villa itself was perfect for our family of 4 and was more beautiful than the pictures.
We were very glad that we chose Praiano to stay in as it was less crowded than some of the other towns and was a great place to unwind.
I would definitely recommend this place to others.

Lovely house with a view
Lovely house with a view. Two great terraces to enjoy the stunning views. You have everything that you could use in the well equipped kitchen. Private parking is a bonus if you’re brave enough to bring a car.
Grocery store and cafe are a 5 minute walk.

We had a wonderful week at Villino Blu in Praiano
We had a wonderful week at Villino Blu in Praiano. The house is comfortable and well equipped. The terraces are large and the view is outstanding.
The location is good, just a few minutes walk to a good grocery shop, cafe, restaurants and 15 minutes on footpaths and small roads to the main part of town on the coast road (cafe, restaurants, more shops, church).
We received good advice from Summer In Italy and were happy with our choice of this rental.
