Amalfi Coast
A private jacuzzi terrace above Praiano, with the Amalfi Coast set out below.
Praiano on the Amalfi Coast is the village the day-trippers miss, which is also why the rentals here keep their privacy. Seventy-eight stone steps lead down from the main street into the pedestrian-only quarter; Villa Nuea is built into the cliff at the bottom of them, with the lower bedrooms opening onto the garden and the upper rooms onto a terrace facing the bay. Three king or convertible bedrooms, each with its own bath, and a view of the sea from most points in the house. Positano is twelve minutes by boat from Marina di Praia, closer than it is by road; Amalfi is twenty minutes by car. The NaturArte sculptures Praiano installed along its lanes in 2016 turn the walk to coffee into a small open-air museum. The walk back up the seventy-eight steps is unavoidable, which is a fair condition for the location.
Bedroom 1 (Ground Floor): King bedroom with en-suite bathroom with bathtub and wall shower, direct access to the terrace
Bedroom 2 (Lower Floor): King bedroom with en-suite bathroom with large shower, direct access to the garden
Bedroom 3 (Lower Floor): King/twin bedroom with en-suite bathroom with large shower, direct access to the garden
All bedrooms have independent air conditioning, TVs, and safe
The stylish interiors are designed to reflect the most contemporary effortless luxury, and the colorful décor evokes the outside landscape: warm sun, shimmering waters, and azure skies. On the ground floor the bright and open living room, with a very comfortable sitting and dining area, is inviting and it faces the great covered oceanfront patio, blessed with great views, where every night you and your party will gather for sunset. The fully equipped kitchen will inspire the chef in you to serve market-fresh dishes. A guest bathroom is also on this floor.
The 4,000 sqft of manicured garden are a relaxing escape. The outdoor space is appointed with beautiful and comfortable furniture. The covered patio on the ground floor is the stage for dining alfresco, while a pergola shades a wellness area, equipped with a treadmill, some free weights, and a stationary bike. The peaceful sunny deck in the garden near the private soaking pool is the ideal place for self-care while meditating, or instead, if you prefer, for indulging with your favorite summer cocktail. We are sure, both experiences do you some good!

A winding scenic drive along the coastal road, known for its hairpin bends and spectacular views, takes visitors to Positano, Praiano, Amalfi and the spellbinding uphill town of Ravello, with its incomparable belvedere. Any of these popular resort towns along the coast are good bases for exploring the surrounding areas. Buses and ferries run frequently and are the most convenient way to reach other towns while avoiding what could be a challenging drive in the bustling summer traffic.
Other excursion possibilities include a boat trip to the islands of Capri and Ischia, a visit to the vibrant cities of Napoli, Salerno, or the gracious Sorrento, or an exploration of Pompeii and Herculaneum — the fascinating ruins of ancient cities destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in the 1st century A.D.
The Amalfi Coast offers an abundance of cafes, shops, art galleries and restaurants on its vertical terrain. Most beaches are small pebble inlets of land thus the best way to enjoy the sand and the turquoise water is to tour the area by boat (ask our concierge about it!) and let an expert local captain take you to his favorite spots or suggest the best seaside restaurants. A memorable experience!
