Wonderful stay in a great villa in beautiful Praiano. The pictures really don’t do the property or the view justice! Loved the pool. Very helpful hosts. Especially kind helping with luggage on arrival and departure. The shuttle is invaluable for port, Positano and even the trip back up the hill from the road around San Gennaro. This place truly deserves all the positive reviews, we hope to return soon!

We stayed 4 nights as a family of 4, kids 16 ans 9, and it was absolutely wonderful. Luigi the host was so helpful with setting up travel plans while in town, the villa was beautiful, clean and exactly like the listing. The location was perfect. Short cab rides to places if you decide not to walk. One of our favorite things was the water tap - sparkling and still water at your service. Saved us and having to carry waters back from the market. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Praiano.

Our stay was fantastic at Villa Antica. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted, and assisted with our luggage to the Villa. The property provided us with all we needed for our three day stay for our breakfast, as well as other condiments if we decided to stay in for cooking dinner at the Villa. It was our son’s birthday the day we arrived and Luigi, the owner, graciously provided us with Buon Compleano balloons and a delicious chocolate cake with candles. Overall the villa was awesome. The pool was clean and maintained and the rooms were spotless. Very comfortable for a family of four. Praiano is a very quiet and charming town. Lots and lots of steps. We walked to Marina di Praia for a beach day, which was about a 20 minute walk from the property. We also took the bus into Positano from Piazza San Luca which is around a 5 min walk from the villa. There is a great little market and restaurant called Moressa that I purchased most of our snacks and dinner from the night we stayed in at the villa. It’s about a 10 min walk. Overall I would love to return here with my family of four. Our kids loved it. We wedged this part of our trip between Rome and Sorrento, and it was a perfect quiet sanctuary nestled in the beautiful hills of Praiano. Many thanks to Luigi, Virginia and Agnello for making a memorable stay for us.

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.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful villa with our young children. Luigi was an exceptional host—friendly, helpful, and incredibly accommodating. Our flight was delayed over four hours, yet he met us very late at night, escorted us to the villa, and even helped with our luggage. Throughout our stay, he checked in to make sure everything was going well and kept us informed about local festivals and activities.The villa was immaculate, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed. All appliances worked perfectly, the air conditioning was excellent, and the kitchen was well equipped for the dinners we cooked each night. The views were spectacular, and the spotless pool was perfect for cooling off in the summer heat.There are stairs to reach the villa, but we certainly didn’t mind the extra exercise after enjoying all the amazing food! The Church of San Luca is just steps away and was a wonderful parish for our family. The area was peaceful and quiet at night, which we loved.A bus stop is about a five-minute walk away, with service to Positano, Marina di Praia, and other destinations. Luigi promptly sent us the new schedule when this route began operating on August 1.The frescoed ceilings are stunning, and the beds were among the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in. Parking was also not a problem a 10 min walk away. Thank you, Luigi, for everything. We truly loved our stay and look forward to returning!

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.

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.
