Wow! Beautiful stay!
The villa was perfect for our family of 4. We loved the location - quiet and off the beaten path! The house was well appointed with comfortable beds and the swimming pool was a bonus! The kitchen was perfect to make meals at home and the views from the terrace were prime! Luigi was very helpful with information at check-in and told us stories of the original owners. 5 star stay!

Beautiful Villa
It was by far the nicest place we stayed in Italy. The owner, Luigi, went above and beyond at the beginning of our stay. The villa was stocked with everything you need. The pool was a great bonus after walking up all those stairs. The views were unbelievable from all the terraces. The bed was also comfortable.

Amazing Experience
Everything was even better than we could have imagined. The hospitality, views, pool, terrace and ambiance were perfect and Praiano is the perfect less-busy spot between Amalfi and Positano. We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to stay here and enjoy the breathtaking Amalfi coast.

Great place to enjoy the Amalfi Coast
We stayed for one week and used the villa to explore the Amalfi Coast and to spend some calm days at the villa with the breathtaking view from the terrace and pool. The host Luigi was always available and his son was a great support with the luggage and for check in. The villa offers everything you could think of, a fully equipped kitchen, a lovely pool, fully air-conditioned, comfortable beds etc.

Family Vacation
We had an amazing stay at this Villa. Luigi and his wife and son were very helpful with the planning of the trip and helped with some excursions during our stay. It is a very quiet and peaceful villa, however there are a lot of steps to get to the villa. My only complaint would be the walk to the villa with heavy luggage and wish that we were a little closer to the main town and restaurants.

Dreams do come true!
Simply unbelievable- the home, the location, the gracious host. A beautiful taste of Italy with gorgeous accommodations and views, great dipping pool, comfortable beds, and well stocked kitchen. As with all houses in this area, dozens of steps to and from the home so make sure you have healthy legs and lungs. It’s worth every step. And big thanks to Luigi and family - such kind hosts with outstanding communication and hospitality. Thank you! Would stay at this home again and again!

Beautiful Charming Villa
We stayed for three nights with our two young sons. The pool was the perfect spot for them to swim and cool off. The location was very conveniently located to a few restaurants and the local bus which was a huge help getting around with the kids little legs. :) Would highly recommend. The host were very accommodating.

Art lovers paradise
Our stay could not have been more perfect! Not only is the Amalfi coast stunning, this home is full of art boasted ceilings that will catch your attention the whole time you are there. Luigi and his team are so welcoming and inviting. We also had a chance to visit his ceramic shop which was also incredibly beautiful. If you are looking for a place on the Amalfi coast, I highly recommend booking here!

Wonderful Holiday
We had a wonderful stay at the property in Praiano. The villa is beautiful and the hosts left lots of goodies that were appreciated at arrival such as espresso, milk, cereal and OJ. We felt very at home in this peaceful town. It is difficult to get transportation so I would plan ahead and have car reservations. The hosts were very helpful with recommendations and bus routes.

Escape to Praiano
Villa Antica was exactly as advertised, the accommodations were wonderful and the view was spectacular! The owner’s son met us where our driver dropped us off and escorted us to the villa, making it easy to find our way. He even helped to carry the suitcases! We felt so fortunate to have a private pool to cool off on the hot summer days. I highly recommend this place!

Wonderful Villa with Ocean View
We spent a week at this villa (Villa Antica) - it came exactly as advertised and it was wonderful. Luigi was very helpful and attentive getting us to the villa and situated. The villa was centrally located, clean and set-up perfectly for our stay. It was a great place for us to use as a base of operations as we explored the surrounding area or to stay put and relax. Wish we could have stayed longer.
