Guilio and his team at the villa were incredible. I unfortunately made the mistake of bringing very heavy luggage but they helped me carry it up AND back down the *220* stairs at the end of my stay, I can’t tell you how much I appreciated it! Beautiful views, amazing refreshing pool and delicious breakfast every morning! You can’t go wrong staying here!

The property is nice, but it is old. The bathroom shower had mold and the sink wasn’t too clean. The sheets and towels did not smell nice but we saw the cleaning lady daily washing and cleaning.

I loved the view from the property, breathtaking view of Positano. I also loved the small intimate property, only 6 rooms. The owner Giulio was very nice and helpful.

Really enjoyed our stay here - A beautiful villa in a scenic and peaceful village. The room was clean, spacious and loved how the history of the villa was preserved within each room. It is a short walk/bus ride from two lovely beaches and many great, authentic restaurants. Giulio, Samuele and Gianluca were so friendly and helpful throughout our trip :)

Thank you for a beautiful stay, hotel was difficult to find but someone came out to find us and guide us in straight away, helped with bags on steps and showed us where to park locally. Pool was lovely and warm, hottub wasn’t working. View was perfect and location was great for visiting Positano

A beautiful setting, spectacular views, very quiet and peaceful. Friendly, helpful staff. Delicious breakfast. Be prepared for lots of steps, but the climb is worth it!

Complicated access, not recommended if you bring heavy luggage. Many stairs, (like 200) the rooms are ok, the breakfast is very good and the lady who serves it is very kind.
Find parking if you take your car is very difficult

We had a great experience here from start to finish. Even before we arrived, they helped set up transfers to and from hotel. Freshly prepared breakfast each morning was delicious. The staff are also very knowledgeable about the area, which saved us a lot of trouble. Would definitely go back!

Our stay at fraiano was lovely! They made check in and check out easy, gave great recommendations and made reservations for us, and the breakfast was fantastic. Every corner had a great view - from our room, at the pool and at breakfast. We are definitely coming back to stay here again.

Do yourself a favor and stay in this beautiful place! We had the most amazing time!!!
Praiano is the ultimate place to stay while on the amalfi, it is quiet and not touristy, yet close to everything.
The hotel has the most breathtaking view and the best sunsets in the area. The room was big and clean, we stayed in the room with the front lawn which was incredible. The outside area is fantastic, the breakfast is great, and the staff is super friendly.
The only downside is the many steps to the property, but if you are able, it is so so worth it!

Excellent small bed and breakfast and friendly helpful staff good value for money especially during the high season on the Amalfi Coast. Lots of steps which took a bit of getting used too.

We had a fantastic anniversary week at Il Frantoio. The smaller town of Praiano is the perfect option on the Amalfi coast. A bus ride west, brings you to Positano. A bus ride east, brings you to Amalfi/ Ravello and more. Not only were the dining options fantastic, but you avoid the heavy congested tourists you see in Positano or Amalfi town. Giacomo and his father Julio run this quaint but thoughtful B&B with only 6 rooms. From the fantastic daily breakfast to the spacious terrace with gorgeous views, it was such a pleasant reprieve from the daily trips to neighboring towns. If you're looking for an amenity filled hotel with immediate service like a chain resort, this is not for you. If you're looking for a slower paced- care filled experience, consider Il Frantoio! This week was so memorable and we were so happy with our choice to stay at Il Frantoio!

The staff was very accommodating and made the check in process easy, even though we were very early. Had many amenities available on site and staff was willing to help with bookings as required. Nana the owner’s dog was also great!

Il Frantoio Villa was amazing. My wife and I enjoyed our anniversary there. Very centrally located and the family really treats you like family. We can’t wait to go back someday. It was really sad to leave.

We have stayed here before and love this place. The owners and staff are wonderful. We will always recommend that if you come to Praiano, you stay at II Frantoio. We will be visiting them again in the future.

Spectacular views and wonderful location. Hotel service was wonderful and relaxed. Breakfast was delicious and fresh. The pool has views out that you don’t believe are real. 207 steps to the town, so take some good trainers. The location of Praiano is perfect as it on the door step to all the major Amalfi towns & path of the Gods, without the busy rush

200 steps down ( and therefore up!) to the town....but worth the climb. Smashing breakfast on a .lovely little terrace and helpful staff.
Fridge in room and nice outside areas- small pool terrace and garden.

This is the highest rated B&b in the area we looked forward to it.
Getting bags to the hotel is difficult. There is no parking within a quarter of a mile so you drop bags off then park. Finding the hotel if you haven't been before is difficult and negotiating steps with bags not for the faint hearted.
Other reviewers have talked about 200 steps down to the main road. This is not the hotels fault - but you need to be fit.
We arrived and were warmly greeted and given extensive information by the manager. Unfortunately he gave us out of date information on bus services so one night we waited an hour for a bus - before phoning him and being told what to do. He did offer to come and wait for us.
The room was spacious - with a nice balcony. The small pool area was nice and quiet although our sun beds were in need of attention - some material was ripped. The lovely small dog that lives there also left his calling card ( mess) in various places.
But the biggest disappointment was the breakfast which I have to say was one of the lowest quality I have ever had. It's a cold buffet with only a few items under cover - meaning most of the food is open for the plague of flies to 'enjoy'.
The small amount of 'fresh' fruit had discoloured. The extensive bread - croissants etc - felt stale / uninteresting. None was appealing. Fellow guests we talked to were equally disappointed. The majority of food was left on each of the three days we were there - unsurprisingly.

A relaxing 4 nights at Il Frantoio. Great location in Prianao which is much quieter than either Amalfi or Positano but allows easy access to both of those towns via the local Sita bus. Comfortable 'mini-suite' with terrace and sea view was perfect for unwinding after a hard days sightseeing. Word of warning - 200 steps to the main road and another 400 odd to the sea!

Spectacular location, lovely terrace and lovely pool. Julio very attentive, having our breakfast ready, organising trips, answering questions.
Downside is the 207 steps to the town, limited street parking, even higher up the hill. Some noise in early evening from other guests, otherwise perfect stay .

Truly enjoyed. 400 hundreds years old building remodeled meticulously, it's a small paradise in Praiano. a quiet town between bustling Amalfi and Positano. Nearby free parking is a big plus. Quite a lot of steps to get there, and won't recommend to people who hate to walk.

We throughly enjoyed ourselves. Praiano is much nicer than Positano or Amalfi. The views are better and you get to enjoy incredible sunsets.

We had a fantastic stay at this B&B, and it was hard to leaveVery helpful owners and the breakfast was deliciousThe views from the balcony were superbWe would recommend this place to anyone wanting to experience some good Praiano hospitalityYou do need to be fit to walk the 250 steps up to the B&BMake sure you follow the directions provided and dont try to attempt to take your bags up the steep stepsThis is a great place to stay in an amazing part of the world

Beautiful location and well maintained hotel. Of course there are many steps to take on on the Amalfi Coast but that kept us fit. My only complaint was that our room was right next to the kitchen so we were awoken at 6.30 - 6.45 every morning which wasn't very pleasant when one wants to sleep in when on holidays. Apart from that the breakfast was great and I have to thank Simona who went out of her way to assist us with information.

A beautiful B&B in Praiano with stunning views of the coast. Yes, it takes 200 steps to reach this spot, but the views are sublime and sitting on the balcony enjoying them had to be the highlight of the stay. Combined with a huge room with a fantastic shower ( with a view), delicious breakfast and lovely pool, I would highly recommend this hotel.
