The villa met our needs and wants overall. 4 beds, 4 baths, great view of Amalfi coast, proximity to Praiano, parking place for 1 compact car. This is an old house, well lived in. The kitchen is functional though not attractive. The bathrooms were ok. The bedrooms were good. It was quiet and secluded. The property manager was accessible and helpful.
The villa is built into the coastal cliff, so there are many narrow steps down from the road to get to the entrance. This feature can be de rigeur for villas in this area, so this comment is just in the spirit of emphasis, not something surprising, but it is serious for anyone with leg problems.
The mosquitoes were serious in the middle of September and the anti-aircraft supplies were low on arrival, but Luca and crew were responsive. Bring repellent if you want to enjoy the magnificent view from the patios.
The distances to Praiano to the north and the closest beach are not long, walkable if you don’t mind Pamplona-esque running with the cars. We had hoped in mid-September that tourist season pressure would be lower, but it was full blast with packed Sita buses and fuhgeddaboutit taxi service.
