This apartment is situated below the main street of Praiano, a small fishing village made up of houses scattered along the ridge of Monte S. Angelo down to the Mediterranean Sea. A small well-stocked supermarket is a short distance from the villa and about 400 meters away you will find coffee bars with internet facilities, a tourist information center, restaurants, a post office, shopping, and more! Visit Marina di Praia, a small and charming pebble beach surrounded by the houses and boats of local fishermen. It is dotted with small, authentic restaurants not to be missed by any seafood lover. If you do not have a problem with climbing steps, visit the small, delightful beach of “Gavitella”, located at the bottom of a small rocky inlet. The beach houses a restaurant with beach facilities, open during the summer season. La Gavitella can be reached either on foot, walking along a path that includes about 350 steps, or by sea using the local ferry service! The SITA bus stop, the long distance bus that goes to Amalfi and Sorrento, and the local bus stop, the shuttle bus that goes from Praiano to Positano, are situated at the beginning of the steps leading down to this apartment.
Please Note: While the Amalfi Coast is beautiful and charming, it is also steep, with many uphill and downhill stairs and walkways. In general, it is an area that is not kind to those of us with knee or mobility issues. This should be considered before booking a property in this area.
Nearby Attractions: In Praiano, a town characterized by its expansive views on the sea and its fishermen who dot the marina and bring fresh seafood to the authentic restaurants, you can enjoy numerous historical, architectural and naturalistic attractions. Its beach, La Cala of Gavitella, is the only beach on the Amalfi Coast illuminated until sunset at which time, be sure to join the locals at nearby wine bars such as Vivaro or Le Fioriere Cocktail and Wine Bar. Surrounding Praiano are several vineyards and a hiking trail, Sul Sentiero degli Dei, which stretches to Positano! In Positano, the main square Piazza dei Mulini offers restaurants and shops or head to one of the beaches such as Spiaggia del Fornillo.
