Villa Antica

Great view and pool area was fabulous. Value for money!

Beds were very hard, particularly the upstairs bed.

Fabulous villa with everything we could possibly need to have a wonderful holiday. Incredible sea views, and we loved the beautiful cellings and ceramics. Many thanks to Luigi.

Amazing location and views and great space for a family of 4! The swimming pool was amazing for the children and loved the great canopy shade over it for when it for very hot.

The location is high up like most of the fabulous villages on amalfi coast so you need to do a lot of walking / stepping: However we managed very well once we figured out that Piazza San Luca was where we should walk to and from and it was in the end extremely manageable and enjoyable especially at night after a lovely meal when we could walk and see the vista over the ocean!

Upon arrival, Luigi asked us to collect the keys from a ceramic shop in Positano. We were greeted by his son, who led us to the villa. Fortunately, he helped us with our luggage cause it was quite the walk from where we parked the car to the villa. But once at the villa, the views were outstanding. The location allows you just park the car and leave it. There are plenty of excellent restaurants within walking distances, and a shop for the essentials. Takeaway pizza from La Moressa was fabulous, but make sure you have a drink at the bar whilst you wait. You can walk a little further into Praiano proper for a larger market, fishmonger, and everything you need. Another bonus if you go in the middle of summer is it has air condition - major bonus!

I would have to look at the property description again, but I believed it mentioned you needed to access by a walkway and go down about 80 stairs to get to the villa, but it didn’t mention the 10 minute walk to get to the stairs to get to the villa. But if you have decent mobility, it shouldn’t put you off booking it because as I said above, the views are outstanding.

This is an historic property with amazing views and frescos. The views are simply breathtaking.

There will be a walk to get what you need. I convenient pickup spot is the Piazza San Luca which is closer with fewer stairs.

Beautiful and historic villa that was perfectly located on the top of Praiano. We booked this villa for our honeymoon. We love how quiet and private it is and that we had the pool all to ourselves. the views we just breathtaking!

The host was unable to assist us with any sort of tour activities or transportation recommendations so we had to spend quite some time figuring all of that out. They did leave us with the bus route which was pretty straight forward but no info about taxis or transfer services. We got lucky and found Gianluca with Praiano Car Service and we really went out of his way to ensure we got from place to place. As all the reviews mention, there are a lot of stairs and walkways with inclines. Be prepared to do a lot of stair climbing because this it common everywhere in Praiano. BRING SNEAKERS!! We enjoyed the frequent stair climbing because you get to see so much more beautiful things this way 😌 We had 5 oversized bags that we had to carry up 200 stairs and over the walkway to the piazza. The two of us had to take multiple trips so I’d coordinate some help with you bags upon check-out / pick-up. Our driver finally arrived in time to help us load the last one but I don’t recommended trying this yourself if you have a bad back injury like myself. arrange for assistance for sure!

The pool and terrass with seaview!

Praiano has a lot of stairs :-)
