Casa Palma 2, economic, beautiful view

Everything was absolutely wonderful! The location, in Praiano, was perfect in that it was between Amalfi and Positano which are both very crowded. The property was exactly how it was described, extremely clean, comfortable, easily accessible, had everything you would need, the views..........stunning and Gemma was charming!

Great property. Host was very attentive.

We enjoyed our stay in this apartment. Gemma met us and showed us around. It would’ve been very helpful if we spoke better Italian but she was very kind and welcoming. The apartment was clean and spacious. It is listed as a 3 bedroom which it is not. The kitchen is stocked with dishes, cookware and some necessities. We did have to buy our own coffee. One thing to note was that the bigger bedroom with the balcony shares a wall with Gemma’s apartment. We could hear her and often it was more noise than we would like at night and early morning. The neighborhood has some restaurants and cafes as well as a market. Beware that walking to anything is precarious as the road is narrow and winding with busy traffic. We went to a lovely service at the nearby beautiful church. We also walked up to the Path of The Gods right from the street near the apartment. There is also a bus stop right outside. This apartment was a great deal for the money and the view from the balcony was spectacular!

We loved our few days in Praiano. A couple of notes. First, the location of the apartment has limited beach access. There is a beautiful private beach club located just down the mountain (approximately 300 steps) that we enjoyed on 2 separate occassions. However, it is extremely expensive (100 euros per adult and 60 euros per child (we are family of 5). If you are looking for a free beach, there is one located on the opposite side of town (about a 30 minute walk or 10 minute cab ride which will cost you 40 euros each way). These were the downsides to Praiano. With that being said, it is postcard beautiful and the apartment has an absolutley love and large balcony over looking the ocean and Positano. We loved our landlady. She is very sweet. She speaks no English, but is able to effectively communicate on how the apartment functions (running dishwasher, etc). Also, she was kind enough to make us a wonderful tiramisu which was a hit with our kids. Downside to apartment - the primary bedroom shares a wall with the owner's home. A very thin wall and you can hear everything. Bathrooms are large for European standards and everything is updated very nicely.

We enjoyed our stay in Praiano. It was a vacation of a lifetime. We will be back! We were Blessed.

Our favourite part of our trip to Italy was this location. Walking to restaurants, shops and both beaches. It’s about 25 minutes to the larger beach that has access to boat excursions. We walked and never took a bus (lots of steps but we got a good workout)! Gemma was great and the location and view cannot be beat!

Perfect location in Praiano , perfect appartement and Gemma is just the best .

The views can not be beat and the location is perfect. You can walk to many restaurants and the market. All the comforts needed for a home away from home. Thanks to Gemma who is a very gracious woman and “landlady”. She takes great pride in her home and sharing it with others. A trip we will never forget. Ciao Ciao Praiano, we will return!

Our property was amazing. Great views. Many places within walking distance. Drive challenging. Gemma was a terrific hostess. Very helpful and accommodating. Knowing the Italian language is helpful.

We had restaurants, markets, and bus stop all within walking distance. Liked being in Praiano - less touristy. Perfect view of Positano from our terrace! Gemma kind and helpful.
