We were looking for a mid way point to all destinations along the Amalfi coast yet have easy access to the coast drive and be a beautiful accommodation. We found all that and more at Frantoio in Praiano. It was winter so the coast was easy driving in both directions. The Villa was a little challenging to find up in... More

We stayed here when the place first opened. The most romantic spot, secluded yet close to everything, gorgeous views. Must have car and be able to walk steps lots. Really added to the charm! Great big bedroom with olive mill in the center, fresh lemon and orange trees outside, peaceful walks down to town for dinner, lovely owners, what else... More

My husband and I stayed in the La Molazza suite for 5 nights. The villa is a beautifully renovated ruin. The room was charming, spacious, clean, and well appointed. Watching the sunsets from our private terrace was one of the highlights of our trip to Praiano. Dominico and Simona were wonderful and made us feel very welcome. When Dominico told... More

Dear sdchurch, I am glad to hear your nice comments on Villa Il Frantoio and our friendly Simona. Thanks for mentioning House Hunters International, Amalfi Coast episode. It means it worth the effort for me working for that show if it brought you all the way to Praiano from the USA and visit us! We all look forward to your... More

We stayed in August for 6 nights after 3 nights in Rome celebrating my husbands 40th. (Sorry the review is a bit late but kind of got caught up in things when we got back!) We booked the La Molazza suite and what an amazing room! I loved Rome but this place was the thing I was looking forward to.... More

Hotel is nice and charming, but you have quite a few steps to get up and down (about 200) from the main street. Satellite cable was the best in italy. This was a great feature since there were tons of English channels, which was a nice added feature. Continental breakfast is very simple but is fine (croissant, cereal, fruit etc)... More

I love this place. The atmosphere, the view and not at least the people working here. I stayed for one week by myself and I was really taken care of. Fantastic breakfast served at my terrace (even though I was up to late). These people were always "yes" with a smile. My room was beautiful, the bathroom build on like... More

A very nice place to spend some days. Laying in the grass, looking over de beach. It's a 200 steps descent to the city with a few, but fine, restaurants. It's a relaxed atmosphere, relaxing location. More

We stayed here last summer with family and friends. Great location - stunning views of the Amalfi Coast all the way down to Capri - but be prepared for the steps! We didn't mind as felt very fit by the end of our stay. The upstairs rooms were lovely - we were originally in one of the ground floor rooms... More

I stayed there during my summer vacation in August with my boyfriend. He likes to sleep in but that was not possible because you had to show up at the breakfast until 10 am. Even showing up 5 minutes til 10 am the two girls would look at you as if they would kill you right away. They did serve... More

It is a bit surprising to find this is a B&B with an only access via steps... But it is well worth it. We were greeted upon arrival at the relatively distant car park, and led to the actual place, by Giacomo, who was the host during our week-long stay. He is Domenico (the owner)'s nephew but runs the place... More
