The villa was exceptional and exceeded our expectations! Francesca communicated with me for all our requirements being a group of friends of a certain age who have been friends for over 30 years and traveling in from UK and USA! She was brilliant and no detail was left out. Luca was always on hand to help us from check in to helping with transfers and bags. Francesca helped with transfers and recommendations for things to do in such a short time - 5 days was definitely not long enough! Everything was pre-booked and when we had to change arrangements due to weather this was also managed without a problem. We took Villa Sunshining and Villa Red moon between 8 of us and there was more than enough space - the rooms were all beautiful and we felt like we had stepped into a movie set. Being girls, having enough bathrooms was important and plenty of terrace space to chill out after heavy days out. Be warned - you do need climbing legs as there are a lot of steps on the Amalfi coast! However, the views were stunning and towns so pretty. Capri is a 'must do' as is Pompeii - we wished we had enough time to have done a whole day in Pompeii - you need that. Shopping was incredible and Italian leather and style is to die for! We liked Sorrento best for shopping. Go to the Wine shop / grocery store at the bottom the steps of the Villa as they have cheaper wine than the grocery store at the top of the hill - but they have better provisions! We also did a cookery lesson with Tommasso in the villa and had a wonderful dinner that evening and since then, some of the girls have cooked the recipes at home! We all want to come back with our husbands as we loved everything about the Amalfi Coast and This Villa was the icing on the cake. We had a wonderful celebration of special birthdays, flighting cancer and just being together Thank you Francesca and Valeria for your help and allowing us to come to your wonderful home. We look forward to coming back! Arrivederci!

Family of 8 adults ages 58-24 Fabulous location Near small stores where we could get what we needed to cook dinner Excellent communication with Francesca Villa is just as pictured Plenty of room for all of us allowed everyone to feel like we had private space Loved having table for 8 outside We ate all our meals outside As others have mentioned be prepared to walk many, many steps Loved having the hot tub sized “pool “ to cool off in every day It was cleaned every morning The views from villa were spectacular We could see dolphins swimming which was pretty cool. Look no further-book this home You won’t regret it Thank you Francesca We hope to return again Ciao

Francesca was so helpful, Luca, our driver, was such a gentleman, Luca, our contact, could not have been more helpful, and the accommodations were superb. Spotless, beautiful, and exactly as the pictures portray and more. The views are spectacular, and the location central to the whole coast. We were very happy there.

Such a fantastic place. Cannot say enough about how we loved this place. Luca couldn’t have been more helpful. 5 stars!!!

This property is absolutely amazing! 5 star all the way. Beautiful villa, fabulous amenities and view, and both Francesca (owner) and Luca (agent) are so warm and accommodating. We were truly blessed to be able to stay at such a fantastic villa with such gracious hosts. While there, be sure to try out the delicious chocolate croissants in Luca's shop abova the villa or see the gorgeous pottery below the villa. Highly recommend you stay here!

We were fortunate to be able to spend a number of weeks at Palazzo Rocco. Overall our experience with the villa and all the lovely people associated with the property was amazing. From helping with understanding the various towns, boating, beaches, the best restaurants, wine, food, scooters, taxi,....we received the best help all the time. The villa is perfect for large groups, as we had numerous friends and family visit over the weeks and we were lucky to be just two people for a while also. The rooms are amazing and give plenty of space for everyone to relax if they want some privacy. The deck is amazing and large enough again to give everyone their own space and super comfortable for group breakfasts, lunches and dinners. We cooked a lot and the kitchen was just right. We added a few things to the pots and pans for the pleasure of the next family :) The location of the villa is great being in Praiano....central to all the places you want to go on the coast and all the great markets, butcher and fish shops are walking distance. Vespa parking was free and nearby. Bus stops to Amalfi and Positano very close and the water taxis a short walk down to the beach. We did lots of walking in the valley just a short walk from the villa that can take you up to Bomerano and numerous other trail heads in the Path of the Gods. Overall, we are very fortunate and thankful to have spent our extended vacation and leave here and to have met such wonderful people. Grazie Mille.

Excellent location close to everything. House was beautiful and very clean. Francesca arranged transfers from Naples and a trip to Capri. Both were amazing. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Praiano.

A beautiful place to stay. Very clean and big for all 8 of us. Beautiful views! Close to beach but lots of steps but everywhere in Amalfi Coast is steps. Highly recommend this. place. Mr. Luca was fabulous!

Luxurious accommodation with everything you need close to the beach, supermarkets and some great restaurants. Luca who met us on our arrival was very helpful even though we arrived later than expected and was always available if we needed him. The views from the terrace of the coastline were incredible. Beds were very comfortable and the apartment very clean. Communication with Francessca was always prompt abd helpful.

Exquisite vacation home, beautifully decorated, great setup, kitchen, lovely bedrooms and bathrooms. Support was excellent. Location terrific. Would definitely come back here !

We stayed at Palace Rocco - Villa Sunshining in Love - for two weeks in June and July of this year. It would be nearly impossible to describe everything that was wonderful about the experience, but I will highlight a few of our favorites. 1. The villa itself - It was meticulously clean when we arrived. The rooms were lovely, spacious, and comfortable; this is no ordinary rental by any means. If you think the pictures are gorgeous, be aware that they are indeed accurate. Every room had a feeling of casual luxury - not stuffy and formal, but welcoming and special. 2. The outside living area - As wonderful as the inside of the villa was, we spent most of our time on the terrace which was filled with potted flowers and partially covered with an arbor of green leaves and blossoms. It was the perfect spot for a lazy breakfast, a family dinner, or a quiet nightcap. The view of the sea was amazing regardless of the time of day, and we were treated several times to the beauty of the moon rising over the water or a fireworks display from a boat celebrating a wedding at the restaurant below. Plan to spend much of your time outside if you rent this location. That said, because you are surrounded by lush greenery in the form of lemon trees and native plants, expect to deal with some insects. Citronella candles and spray and insect coils helped create a safe, bug-free space in the evenings. 3. The town of Praiano - It had a small, quaint downtown, beautiful churches, excellent restaurants, and a pretty sleepy vibe which was a nice contrast to the bustle and crowds of Positano and Amalfi. No matter how crazy our days were, whether from sightseeing, hiking, or shopping, we could count on Praiano being quiet and relaxing at the end of the day. 4. The people - Francesca was fabulous at preparing us for the arrival protocol and making arrangements for transportation and events. Luca did a great job of introducing us to everything about the house and the area and was always available to answer questions, give advice, or just ask how our stay was going. Chef Mario created a memorable five-course dinner for us our first week, even including fresh ingredients from his own garden. Definitely do this if you can; the food was fresh and plentiful, the cost reasonable considering the extent of the meal, and he did EVERYTHING - shopping, prepping, cooking, serving, and cleaning up. You won't regret staying here if you visit the Amalfi Coast; you may regret it if you don't.

My family and I stayed at Palazzo Rocco for 10 nights and we had an amazing time. The villa is gorgeous - rooms are very spacious and each with its own bathroom. And the view is indescribable. We enjoyed many nights on the terrace overlooking the water. While there are many stairs, the beach is only about a 10 minute walk away. Lots of wonderful restaurants in the area and a market only about a 5 minute walk. But the best part of this stay was the help provided by Francesca. She helped to organize airport/train station transfers and day trips to several surrounding towns. She was completely at our disposal and helped make our stay in Praiano a trip we will never forget! I highly recommend staying at Palazzo Rocco for your holiday!

We loved Praiano and this Villa. The house is large so there is plenty of room to spread out. The terrace has an amazing view of the coast line. The house does not overlook Positano but more the direction of Salerno. We loved how well the air conditioning worked and how dark the bedrooms were. It made for a wonderful nights sleep. We really loved Luca who checked us in and took very good care of us while we were there. We will all miss him.

Our stay at Palace Rocco, Sunshine in Love (4 bedrooms) was amazing. The villa was beautiful and spacious, exactly as it appears in the pictures. The outdoor patio is huge with very comfortable furniture to lounge on and enjoy the spectacular view. The kitchen is well equipped and easily accessible from the patio for refills of limoncello spritzers. The bedrooms are comfortable and the views are amazing. I so enjoyed lying in bed at night watching the moon reflect on the water. The victorian furniture in the living was not comfortable, but we didn’t really care because we spent all our time on the patio. Francesca was helpful and very responsive to our questions. She provided the name of a company to transport us from Rome to Priano. She arranged for Chef Mario come in and cook a dinner for us at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend this experience. Luca met us upon arrival and was very helpful for directions to the grocery store etc. Knowing that we would be tired from traveling, he had snacks and a bottle of prosecco chilling for us; a really nice touch. Luca also made arrangements for a boating day trip to Capri. Boating to the island was really fun. The chaos of busses, scooters, and way too many tourists in Capri, not so much. I am so glad we picked Praiano. There are many good restaurants. It’s a good spot for day trips to other places and tucked away from all the tourists. Our week at Palace Rocco was fantastico!

This was a wonderful apartment for my family of 6 adults. Julia met us, who spoke perfect English and gave us her mobile phone for any questions. Snacks were provided when we checked in. The place was extremely clean. The views from the veranda and bedrooms were wonderful. There were porters waiting when we arrived to bring our luggage down the several ramps and about 15 stairs. Once we figured out the terrain, this was a perfect home base for us. The SITA busses were convenient and economical. The stop #10, which was 97 steps down from the house, was convenient, but if steps are a problem, the better stop for getting off the bus was #9 where the walk up the road was less steep and then the ramp and stairs down were easier. The grocery store was up many stairs as well. The kitchen was well equipped and there was dishwasher detergent and dish liquid provided as well as salt and pepper and a couple of other spices and olive oil. The wifi worked well except in the one bedroom (out of four) which was on the first floor (the others were on the second floor). It was great to have a washer and dryer (liquid detergent was provided) and a safe. The beds were comfortable, although hard. The sitting area/living room would be greatly improved with more comfortable furniture instead of the Victorian style chairs and divan. Because of the chilly weather, we did not have a chance to sit outside on the veranda which was lovely. Julia had the porters return when we needed to depart. Overall, it was a great stay!!!

Impossible to describe how wonderful this villa is . Definitely not for anyone with mobility issues (this goes without saying about the Amalfi coast in general lol!). Incredibly beautiful accommodation for families, four couples, a girls getaway, whatever! Bellisimo

We lived staying here. The palace is beautiful and the patio offers gorgeous views and a wonderful retreat. Luca was wonderful and helpful and we loved the town of Praiano. It was close enough to the Positano and the beaches but had a small town/local peersonality with wonderful resteraunts and a great grocery store. Would highly recommend Praiano and the Rocco Palace!

Great views. Very helpful staff. We really enjoyed our time there. Place was very clean and comfortable.
