Casa Lauritano

Lovely apartment literally 1 min from Piazza Umberto Primo. Maddalena was very good with email comms, then WhatsApp (those using HomeAway, be careful as the default mobile number is with a US code so you can’t ring her unless you change that). The apartment was huge for me alone - it would be great for a couple, not perhaps as much for a family as the children’s room is literally above the double bedroom, so there’s no privacy. But that’s only a problem if it’s a problem for your family. There’s only one bathroom with a shower - and a WC where there’s a washing machine. The living room is huge and the terraces are lovely. Kitchen was well equipped and comfortable to use. Maddalena even set up a Christmas tree for me. If you are a light sleeper you may not like the church bells ringing - I woke up to them at 3am and 4am (that’s it) but it seems like they ring every 15 min every hour - do potentially a tough one. As I said, I only heard twice. I didn’t hear a peep from neighbours. Atrani seemed deserted, I hardly saw anyone in town. The only feedback I gave Maddalena was about the towel - it was way too small for an adult. It was almost face-towel or hand-towel size. For a woman with long hair, not great. I couldn’t even tie it around my body, and I am a size 8. If my husband or son had been in it would have looked like a handkerchief next to them. I read previous feedback saying this too, which is why I am recording it here (no point giving feedback if no one acts on it).

Fantastic accommodations in center of small town. Easily accessible, great communication with host, will return to this location.

We were two couples in our late 60s who stayed for 5 nights. The apartment was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Yes there are stairs but this is the Amalfi Coast - they are a fact of life that you get used to. The location just off the square was very convenient to the shops and restaurants. Our hosts, Isaia and Linda, were extremely responsive and helpful, making any and all arrangements requested, answering questions and providing recommendations. We can’t say enough about the apartment or our hosts.Amalfi is less than10 minutes walk from Atrani. We went to and from many times. We also went to Ravello, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Minori and Capri. Would recommend them all.

A perfectly authentic and comfortable experience, Casa Lauritano was the highlight of our Italian holiday. The rooms are beautiful with high ceilings and great air conditioning. The kitchen and living space are spacious, well furnished and decorated in beautiful tiles. Outside there are a total of 3 different areas where you can sit and enjoy the view of the sea and the moon and stars at night. We highly recommend you contact Isaia in advance to set up a private in home dining experience or if you have any questions about getting to Atrani. He and his contacts are all incredibly helpful and responsive, a huge comfort when staying in a country where you are not fluent in their language. If you are looking for an intimate or romantic getaway, this is the perfect location!

Amazing experience. Plenty of space at an affordable rate. If you’re going to Amalfi coast expect crowds everywhere except here, in Atrani!

Wonderful apartment! Great location! Easy access to the hub bub of Amalfi but so nice to come back to quiet Atrani. Our daughter counted and there are 79 stairs from street level to top terrace. Plenty of towels and nice linens. A/C and washer work well.

Beautiful, clean, and well-maintained apartment. Atrani is a charming and quiet little town a 10-minute walk from Amalfi (a charming, but busy town).

First I must say that Isaia was excellent at helping us not only reserve Casa Lauritano but also provided us with so much useful information as we planned our stay in Atrani. He also arranged our transportation to and from the Naples airport and a trip to Pompeii. Isaia and his partner Linda were very responsive and helpful throughout our entire stay. They helped us with everything from transportation changes to shopping suggestions and restaurant recommendations. The house is beautiful and the pictures are accurate. You can feel the history of the community throughout the house but it has all the modern amenities you would hope for and was a very comfortable place for our 8 day visit. The linens and towels were top notch and the unit has a washer so you can pack a little lighter and do a load mid-stay. The included breakfast is in the form of “Tickets” that are redeemable for a wonderful breakfast at one of the cafes on the square. We had excellent service from Carolina every morning. There are several other restaurants on the square and each was great. We frequently got an evening coffee and drinks at Caffe Vittoria and by the end of the week felt like regulars. Amalfi was an easy walk so you can have all of that tourist experience and shopping and then come back to the calm and quiet of Atrani. Also, both the Amalfi beach and the Ravello beach on the other side of Atrani are stone while the Atrani beach is black sand so the most comfortable.

We loved staying in the quiet village of Atrani! Casa Lauritano was in the perfect location, walkable to several restaurants and an easy walk to Amalfi for exploring or hopping on a ferry or bus. The house itself was perfect, very spacious and spectacular evening views! It has a ton of character. Isaia and Linda were so helpful before and throughout our stay with very regular communication, along with assistance with rides, excursions, and even restaurant recommendations. The house had everything we needed and if we ever came back to the Amalfi Coast, this is where we would stay!

Great host, exceptional communication. Host helped setup private transportation via cab + private boat services with local skippers. Hot water didn’t work day 1, but it was quickly resolved. Cons - Stairs, stairs, stairs. FYI you have to turn the hot tub on in the morning for it to be warm that evening, it’s a very slow heating process + it sits low so the wall blocks the view to the sea when you actually sit down.

We stayed at Maddalena's property on the last leg of our honeymoon in Italy. It was truly breath taking to arrive at this property. Between the coral pillars, and 3 tiered outdoor patio, this place was a dream. Yes, a stairs are involved but not actually as many as I thought there would be. We had an interesting time getting to the property from the SITA bus from Salerno but Maddalena was flexible in communicating with us to greet us upon arrival. Thank you!!
