We had a lovely time at Elia's family's home in Praiano. The lovely little flat has everything you need for a pleasant stay with the exception of toiletries, you will need to bring your own soap, shampoo etc. The views are absolutely stunning. Elia was kind enough to meet us and accommodate us upon arrival even though we arrived several hours early. He also gave us a lift to Positano one day where we were able to meet his family. I would echo what others have said about the many steps up and down to the home, so it definitely would not be a good choice for anyone who is mobility impaired, but it is definitely worth the climb! Steep stairs are just a reality on the Amalfi coast, so we enjoyed getting lots of exercise and experiencing views that were out of this world. The sunsets from the outdoor spaces at the home were absolutely spectacular and serene. The home is also well located for exploring up and down the Amalfi coast, and we loved that Praiano was so quiet. In the mornings and at night, all we could hear were the birds chirping. There are a number of nice little restaurants within easy walking distance of the home, as well as a market, butcher and a couple of lively bars. Often we have found that photos of rental properties often look better than the actual accommodations, but that was not the case here. Everything was even more beautiful in person. The gardens at the home were just waking up as we visited in early April, I can't imagine how beautiful it is in the summer! We can't wait to return.
