Reviews
We had an absolutely wonderful time. From the moment we
landed to the moment we were dropped back at the airport it was
perfect. I spent so long, as you know, trying to find the right
place. I needed somewhere that would allow me quiet reflection as
well as a holiday with plenty to do and interesting entertainment
both historical and commercial:)
Our driver to the apartment was absolutely superb. He spoke
to us all the way, stopping for the view and to buy fruit from a
local seller.
On arrival the owner greeted us with such style (I won't spoil it for those who are still to visit) and she is a lovely woman who clearly takes great pride in her place. The location was perfect for all the things we wanted to do. We travelled around by speed boat (to Capri which was awesome), water taxi (driven by a singing Italian taking us to the most romantic restaurant on the sea-front), by ferry (from Amalfi to Positano), by foot (along roads with breathtaking views), by local bus, Sita bus, train, (to Pompei and beyond), open top sightseeing bus (to Ravello, which was life-affirming), and we even got lifts from locals by car all the way to Nerano and back!
We will feel forever guilty that we did not water the
plants on our beautiful terrace, but the locals were very
forgiving.
I would not hesitate to use your service again and plan to do
so for our next holiday. The village, the people, the apartment and
your organising, made this the most superb and memorable holiday we
have ever had.
Please pass our thanks on and hopefully we shall be in touch again soon.
The apartment (upper level of a house split into two
luxury rentals) has an unobstructed view to the sea, Positano and
the islands in the distance. The owner and her assistant were
wonderful as well. They greeted us with fresh flowers and a bowl of
lemons from the garden and gorgeous red cherry tomatoes which are
full of flavor impossible to get from a greenhouse or when shipped
to a grocery store from far away.
The units had wireless and TVs with Sky boxes (the latter not
necessary as the surroundings are far better to look at and absorb
than anything on TV). They were wonderfully located just below the
church and close to the restaurants and grocers of the town. We got
used to the hundreds of steps down to the beach and the trip was
worth it. The water was wonderful and for a stone beach, we just
rented the chairs and enjoyed the Gavitella beach on several days
of our stay. The water is in a protected bay so there are no waves
but I would recommend brnging your water shoes if you plan on
visiting other beaches in the area as they are not sandy but rocky
or pebbled.
We were so happy we did not end up in either Positano or
amalfi. Both of these towns were crowded with cruise ship day
trippers and large groups following guides holding up signs or
umbrellas to follow. They were also very commercial with boutiques
everywhere--some nice but many selling the typical tourist magnets,
t-shirts and aprons with lemons on them. We found the same to be
true of Capri but the boat ride there--with some grotto viewing and
a swim off the boat in a private cove was the highlight. Capri the
town is overrated in my opinion but the natural beauty of the
island is very nice if you stay out of the center and avoid the
cruise ship crowds. Seeing the coast by sailboat or a small
chartered motor boat would be well worth the cost. If I go back,
Praiano would be a good place to kayak from as well and if you are
a swimmer--bring your goggles! Great water and coves to swim
in.
Praiano was a gem of a town with a beach that is the only one
the coast we were told that gets the longest sunshine and where you
get to see the sun set in the west into the sea. It was a 15 minute
bus ride or a short car or scooter ride from Praiano to amalfi (8
km) or Positano (10 km) and we went to see both but were super
happy to return to Praiano where we dined with locals mixed equally
with tourists. It is a tiny town but with a fun beach that
Picoletto--the owner and host that makes everyone feel like they
are part of his special beach cafe community--makes the setting.
The water is clear and was warm in September when we went. There
was also a boat from the beach that would take people over to
Positano for free if they ate at the restaurant which was
excellent. Praiano had several very good restaurants. La Strada had
outstanding pizza and a waiter- Lorenzo who knows his wines and
loves to introduce you to some of the local regions finest. It also
served wonderful fresh fish and I loved the "crazy water" sauce
spiced up with chiles (red cherry tomatoes, parsley, garlic, white
wine, olive oil and chiles). The fresh fish in all the places was
excellent as were the cozze or mussel soup (which isn't soup as you
may know it but a mussels marinara).
Overall it was a beautiful vacation and I was very happy to
have had a rental over a hotel for the week--especially in Praiano
where the locals still outnumber the tourists!
Safely back in the UK and missing the Amalfi
Coast!!
Firstly can I say thank you for your excellent support before
& during our holiday. Nothing was too much trouble for you and
as a result everything ran really smoothly.
We loved both Praiano and Casa Panoramica. We wanted to be
based somewhere relatively quiet with good access for sightseeing
and so Praiano was perfect as was the villa. The house is lovely
and very well positioned for public transport, restaurants and
local shops. However it was the garden that made it for us giving
us a pretty, quiet, comfortable area with stunning views to start
and finish each day.
