Independent, Praiano Hotels

This is the most beautiful, luxurious and attention to detail hotel! I highly recommend this hotel and town of Praiano. The most breathtaking views of Positano at all times of the day and night, fabulous amenities and most hospitable staff. Not only is this a fabulous and world class hotel, but the town of Praiano is such a wonderful place. It is not overly populated with 'typical touristy' pressures and is so safe and welcoming. Casa Angelina is highly recommended and world class.

We stayed four nights and enjoyed our time. The apartment is very close to the Sita bus that tours the Amalfi coast and local bus to Positano. You have to get off the right Sita bus though as there are several stops in Praino and the town is spread out a bit (I think it was bus stop 8 or ask for the one near the Africans club). the apartment is right above a ceramic shop held by the owner of the residence. Check in was smooth and quick and there is a large solarium (terrace with sunbeds and a hammock) on the top floor. We had our own terrace with sea view which was great to have a beer or sip wine on at the end of the day. Everything was clean, AC worked well, and several restaurants available in the marina do Praia which is a five minute walk away. Initially we thought the towels were thin, but having experienced other hotels in the week before where towels never dried properly because of the heat and dampness we turned out to be very appreciative of this detail! Communication with the owners was swift and easy. There is a thing to hang your wet clothes on the terrace which was useful for swimsuits etc. The terrace also included a sunbed :)

We had a wonderful time on the Amalfi Coast staying at Hotel Margherita. This great B&B has a hotel feel and yet makes you feel like a warm and welcome guest of the family that runs the hotel. We will definitely go back some day!

We just returned from our holiday in Praiano, staying at the Onda Verde. We had the deluxe room, which included a good sized terrace overlooking the sea. The room was of an excellent standard, clean and airy with good air conditioning, a safe and a minibar with very reasonable prices (€3/€4 per drink). We were absolutely delighted with the room, the view was breathtaking and we slept well every night - no noise, even with bars and restaurants nearby. Staff at the hotel were extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble - from recommendations of local shopping to mixing cocktails even though that's not really their thing. Really hope to return one day! The area is quieter than nearby Positano, but better for it in my opinion - plenty of restaurants and bars (Il Pirata is a must-try), and lots of water taxis to take you further afield. In short - the perfect place to get an authentic taste of the Amalfi Coast

We had a great experience at Hotel Le Fioriere. It is located in the middle of Praiano, a small town that sits in between the very busy Positano and Amalfi. We managed to find the hotel very easily as the bus stop is directly outside.The beach is a ten minute walk away and is so beautiful, complete with kayak hire, water transport and a beach bar which has a great afternoon vibe. The Path of the Gods walk which starts 2 mins away takes you from Praiano to Positano and has wonderful vistas. We loved everything about this village, the only fault being the full buses that drive past you on either route to Amalfi and Positano so recommend that you prearrange transport if you are in a hurry. The hotel has a great terrace with the best cocktails in Praiano and exceptional sunset views of the coast. The staff were lovely and very helpful and evan prepared a packed breakfast for us when we had to check out early. We would definitely recommend a stay here. Thank you

Hotel right on the Amalfi Coast yet quiet and exclusive. Amalfi and Positano are just a bus ride away but Marina Di Praia is secluded enough to be private and exclusive. The tourists really flock to Amalfi and Positano any only a few day trippers even know about Marina Di Praia A thy just drive straight past. This place is perfect and Pina and her family make your stay fantastic.

My wife and I stayed at the Tramonto d'Oro for 5 nights during our honeymoon & absolutely loved it. The name is apropos: our room opened onto a nice balcony with a beautiful view of the "golden sunset." We are really happy we stayed in Praiano, which is much smaller than Positano and Amalfi -- and therefore has far fewer tourists. Having a calm home base with a slew of really delicious restaurants was perfect given the number of excursions we took. A few things we particularly enjoyed about the hotel...(1) The staff were happy to arrange a variety of outings. We went on a 12-person boat trip to Capri, which we loved, and they set up a couples' massage at the hotel. We even splurged on a private sunset boat cruise along the coast our final night. (2) The beach, which is ~400 steps down from the hotel, was a wonderful get-away. There's a busy beach club but a calmer beach of stones frequented by tourists and locals alike. (3) The staff were just the right amount of attentive -- providing restaurant recommendations and making reservations when asked, sharing the bus schedule and selling single-use tickets, etc. (4) The rooftop pool was very relaxing, and though we only spent a little time there, it was nice to be able to have lunch or a drink while enjoying the view. (5) The included breakfast buffet was perfect before we headed out for the day. The only minor qualm I have is that the queen bed in our room was actually two twins pushed together. In all, we loved it!

Magnificent views of the coast and close to the great villages of Positano, Amalfi, Ravello. The hotel is built down a cliff that overlooks the Mediterranean. Wonderful views to wake up to in the morning, enhanced by a delicious buffet breakfast. We enjoyed our stay immensely and would return. Ask for a room with a balcony.

We loved the staff - all very helpful and friendly. Close to great restaurants.

Hotel is conveniently located adjacent to the bus stop and 10 minutes walk down to the beach. The bus will take you to Amalfi, Positano and Sorrento. It takes on average 30 minutes to get to Positano. Note that there are several stops in Positano. Single rooms have a twin bed that will only sleep 1 person. Furniture in some rooms is dated. There is enough parking on premises if you choose to rent a car.
