Everything about the villa is perfect. It is clean, well equipped etc but much better than that, it is truly authentic. It is traditional and steeped in history. We highly recommend to anyone who wants to feel like they are in a traditional Italian villa. The location is great. Shops and restaurants near by. Views incredible!Pool is also perfect after a lovely day sightseeing. Hosts excellent. Wine and breakfast items provided free of charge. So kind.
Villa Antica in Praiano was absolutely stunning! The views of the Amalfi Coast were breathtaking, and the villa itself was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. The location was perfect—peaceful yet close to great restaurants and beaches. Highly recommend for an unforgettable stay!
Beautiful view, property, and pool. Gracious host. Gorgeous restoration with their family’s beautiful ceramics tiles. Totally loved our time. Praiano has delicious and welcoming restaurants too.
Wonderful place to stay - very relaxing, magical location, just as advertised.

Absolutely amazing! This was a very historic house that was in pristine shape. The ceilings in the bedrooms, bathroom and entrance were stunning. And the view of the Mediterranean from the pool deck was unbelievable. The owner was very helpful and easy to communicate with. On top of that, we mentioned that our anniversary was on that Thursday, and on Thursday, they delivered a "Happy Anniversary" cake. I would rate this property a 13 out of 10. I highly recommend this house.

Great place to stay in Praiano. A wonderfully appointed house, beautifully decorated and with a pool!. The views are spectacular as are the cool breezes that flow through the numerous windows. We LOVED this place.
We've stayed here before and loved it then too! Luigi was very responsive when we had some problems during our stay. This is an amazing place to stay on the Amalfi Coast!
We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Antica! This is an amazing house in a perfect location away from the crowds. The hosts are very kind and helpful. We would definitely choose to stay here again if we get the chance to return to the Amalfi Coast.
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!
We very much enjoyed our stay in Praiano. The Villa Antica is beautiful with deep historic roots. The views where amazing and the host, Luigi, was great. Definitely would recommend.
The place is spectacular! The views are excellent the location is great 10 min from Positano. The attention to detail is amazing tiles and colors. It has everything you could need. Luigi was very responsive and a huge help in sharing details about the area and places to eat and shop etc. There are a good amount of steps but doable. We felt incredibly welcome. Highly recommend this property. Thak you thank you!
We loved this place. Luigi and Virginia were great host. The villa and the view were spectacular. The host were easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating. We will be visiting again.
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.
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.
If you like stairs the village of Praiano is your place. If you have any mobility issues I’d select another area. Loved it Luigi answered all of our questions and needs
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.
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.
