Location:
Praiano is a beautiful small town on the coast of Amalfi that boasts the privilege of being located in a unique corner for the incomparable views of the coast and the sea, from the Villa you can witness some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world.
The door that gives access to the magnificent property consisting of about 500 square meters surrounded by terraces and gardens, lets immediately perceive the vibrant sensation of being completely out to sea.
Between the southern outskirts of the Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno, the 163 Amalfitana National Road, built during the Bourbon era, connects the 13 municipalities, the thirteen precious stones set in the rock sloping into the Mediterranean, the Divina Costiera that UNESCO declared World Heritage Site.
Some of these places are famous, and attract visitors from all over the world, thanks to the love of many famous people who have celebrated their beauty. We are not talking only about Positano, the glamor destination par excellence, loved by Nureyev, and Zeffirelli, or Amalfi, the ancient Maritime Republic with illustrious history and Arab architecture, or Ravello, which owes so much to Wagner, who in the gardens of Villa Rufolo found inspiration for the Parsifal.
Those lucky enough to discover even the small villages, the minor municipalities, remain amazed in front of the beauty of the landscapes, the beaches, the perfumes and colors, and also of the people.
Praiano is a small town gently resting on the rock, crossed by narrow streets and paths, pervaded by a relaxing and serene atmosphere. But it is also a place rich in history and culture, already a holiday destination for the Doges of Amalfi, punctuated by the Saracen watchtowers, depositary of a miracle of nature that is repeated every day, that of the most evocative sunrises and sunsets they can imagine, dyed of gold, of red, of orange, with the sun that here you can see plunged into the sea.
From the villa is the nearest restaurant 200 meters (Kasai), a grocery store 300 meters, (with free delivery service)
the bus stop a few meters away and the nearest beach (“la Gavitella”) about 800 meters with 300 steps, or the beach “Marina di Praia” 5 minutes by car.
