Not having traveled to this part of Italy before I wasn't sure what to expect. Get a small car as the roads are winding and very tight along the coast road. Thankfully Francesca organised parking in the owner's garage for our stay, take it as it is essential if you want to park close by.
Palazzo Rocco is situated close to Commune de Praiano, the City Hall square, and a short walk away downhill. Luca met us on arrival and showed us to the house and garage. He also offers a grocery delivery service from the family shop, handy! There is a deposit to pay for breakages held until you leave and a visitors tax of 2 euros per night. Luca was great, he sorted the WIFI and was quick to respond to any queries.
White Moon Attic is a two-bed apartment on the top floor, a staircase leads up to it from the main door so access is 24/7, just be quiet if late! The apartment is very tastefully decorated, from the door you enter a sitting/dining room with TV. A glass door from here opens up on to the large balcony which has fabulous views over the coast line. There is a 4 seater table, 2 sun beds and 4 low recliners, it really is a lovely space and there is also a shower for freshening up and a bbq for eating in.
Both bedrooms open up on to the balcony, one is en-suite and the other has a separate bathroom again all tastefully fitted out with plenty of wardrobe space, additional blankets and pillows, plenty of towels. Air conditioning runs throughout and the owner had thoughtfully provided an electric plug-in mosquito repellent device plus there is a hair dryer, washing machine, ironing board, iron, mop, bucket, pegs and even a sewing kit. Fresh bedding and towels are provided weekly, although with the washer you do have the option of a more regular freshen up if so inclined!
The kitchen is well equipped although a little tight on space, there are plenty of plates, dishes, mugs, glasses and cutlery and cooking utensils and pans. The owner also left us some dishwasher tablets and washing-up liquid. In one corner is a fridge/freezer with ice cube makers and behind it a toaster and spare fold-up table. Under the sink is a selection of recycling bins and instruction on there disposal provided.
We had a fab vacation, Praiano is a great low key base just be aware of the steep hills and steps, other than that highly recommended. If only there was a pool! If anyone is planning to visit and wants more info I am happy to advise.
Thanks to Francesca and Luca xxxx
