We had a fantastic time in Praiano. The villa and its garden are a little paradise with amazing views, sunsets and sitting under the lemon trees was the best! Wow! We loved it. Also, we received many fantastic restaurant recommendations all within walking distance. 2 chefs came to the villa and cooked our last dinner for us - delicious !!!
Beautiful spacious property with a luxuriant garden and delightful views down to the sea and across to Positano. Great location being at the top of the steps down to the beach. We realised that Praiano was the place to be with Positano and Amalfi being incredibly busy. Praiano’s small rocky beach is much quieter with the opportunity to put your towel down for free on the rocks or slipway or pay 50 euros each for a sunbed but get 15 euros off your meal at the delightful La Gavitella restaurant, which we loved. Perfect location, great food and friendly staff. Sunbeds elsewhere on the Amalfi coast are now 100 euros each. Crazy!
George was our host at the property. He looked after us very well, recommending good restaurants, places to go and buying anything we needed- like a kettle, for example! We loved our visit to Praiano and would definitely recommend this property.

Disliked: Communication
It's an old Amafi home, decorated by someone's Nonna years ago, with an amazing garden overlooking the sea. Unfortunately, the place smelled very moldy, despite them having set up a dehumidifier. All the material items - pillows, blankets, etc., smelled horrible. There appeared to have been some sort of moisture event and the place never got cleaned properly. I would avoid stasying here if you have mold sensitivty. The internet was also very spotty. Although at other establishments we had no issues, the management tried to explain that this is just normal for the Amalfi. We asked about this a couple of times over the course of our stay and didn't get an answer, until we asked again and then got the excure above. Poor communication. We were also told upon checking in that the washer didn't work. Sitting around for 2 different repair men and we were ultimately told that someone had pressed a delayed wash setting??! We had no problems using it. We generally don't leave much in the way of reviews but this place just didn't sit well. Again, very moldly, shotty internet and poor communication by the management company made it less than a stellar stay. Also, the VRBO mentoned beach chairs, a microwave, oven, TV in bedroom and dryer, none of which it had. There was a small toaster oven. Otherwise, it would have been a perfect place from which to explore Praiano.
Aaahh, Santacroce, truly should be called Paradiso di Santacroce. I’m tempted to not share this review so as to keep this lovely secret to ourselves! Giuseppe and Ms. Carmen provided incredible photos, precise details, instant and clear communication, and even a video of how to walk from the steps near St. Januarius to the front door of Santacroce. We spent 6 lovely weeks in Italy and Santacroce in Praiano was the most magical. We have visited Praiano 7 times over the years and will now make Santacroce our new Praiano home. The view of Positano, the garden filled with lemons, orange, lime, pomelo, and pomegranate along with the greatest variety of flowers, cacti, succulents, and grass(so soft on your feet) leaves you wondering how the Garden of Eden must have felt. Coffee, fruit, eggs, toast, and even a bit of Aperol were stocked for our arrival. The bed so comfortable, the sheets divine. Every corner of this home is decorated in such a way that you feel as if you are in an Architectural Digest magazine.
There isn’t enough space to continue this painting of words. Just look no further and book Santacroce. Perfetto!
