Wow! Beautiful stay!
The villa was perfect for our family of 4. We loved the location - quiet and off the beaten path! The house was well appointed with comfortable beds and the swimming pool was a bonus! The kitchen was perfect to make meals at home and the views from the terrace were prime! Luigi was very helpful with information at check-in and told us stories of the original owners. 5 star stay!

Beautiful Villa
It was by far the nicest place we stayed in Italy. The owner, Luigi, went above and beyond at the beginning of our stay. The villa was stocked with everything you need. The pool was a great bonus after walking up all those stairs. The views were unbelievable from all the terraces. The bed was also comfortable.

Simply unbelievable- the home, the location, the gracious host. A beautiful taste of Italy with gorgeous accommodations and views, great dipping pool, comfortable beds, and well stocked kitchen. As with all houses in this area, dozens of steps to and from the home so make sure you have healthy legs and lungs. It’s worth every step. And big thanks to Luigi and family - such kind hosts with outstanding communication and hospitality. Thank you! Would stay at this home again and again!

Family Vacation
We had an amazing stay at this Villa. Luigi and his wife and son were very helpful with the planning of the trip and helped with some excursions during our stay. It is a very quiet and peaceful villa, however there are a lot of steps to get to the villa. My only complaint would be the walk to the villa with heavy luggage and wish that we were a little closer to the main town and restaurants.

Quiet Beautiful Villa
This villa is amazing with breathtaking views. The host provided great information relating to transportation services and recommendations. He also had snacks and food in the pantry which we used for a meal! The location is in a very quiet neighborhood so if you’re looking for peace away from the crowds, this is for you. It is a bit of a walk from any food and the closest pickup spot for a taxi is about a 5 minute walk. The cost of a taxi to Positano is ~€50. The nearest bus stop is about a 15 minute walk and it’s only a €2 ticket. WARNING** There are two types of buses; a smaller shuttle type bus and a large city type bus. We took the small one to Positano and tried to take the large one back to Praiano and ended up waiting an hour and a half because the larger one travels the entire Amalfi Coast. Stick to the smaller one if you can. Both are the same price. There are a LOT of stairs, however, it seems like the entire coast is like that. The pool was definitely a necessity for our 4 night stay. Our stay was in June and it’s toasty. Was nice to cool down after laying out, or after a long walk home. The closest beach is about a 20 minute walk down and 30 minute walk back up. Overall it was very spacious with great amenities and architecturally beautiful!

Authentic and beautiful views.
Where do I begin? Luigi, from helping us with our luggage, (sorry we had so much of it.) Having soda, water, breakfast items for us, we even found pasta in the cupboard so we enjoyed a meal on the terrace. This family villa is absolutely breath talking. We took a day to lay pool side. There is a local bus just for Praiano. The Sita bus down the hill and a local bus that operates to and from Postiano. We took the local bus, its very easy to get in the morning, make sure you have change. We bought our tickets right on the bus for 1.80 euro one way to Postiano. Luigi's family owns the local ceramic factory in Postiano. Absolutely gorgeous tables and benches and more. The product hold s up in any type of weather. You must stop in and check it out for yoursef. The washer machine was a wonderful thing to have and I was able to dry my clothes rooftop in a day. All the details, soaps, shampoo, slippers, the bedding and comfortably slept well. The churchbells were beautiful to listen to. Enjoying a bottle of wine on the terrace. Watching the kids play soccer at the courts below. There are steps to get here. Your taxi will stop at the square, then a few steps, long pathway and more steps down. Yes i was out of breath on day one. Day 3 it got easier and easier. Would I stay here again? Absolutely!! It was so much nicer than being in the other busier towns. We loved every minute of it. THANK YOU for your hospitality.

A peaceful oasis.
Priano is a lovely quiet town away from the maddening crowds in Positano, Amalfi etc, but those places are easy to get to from Villa Antica. Sitting on the wonderful patio, you hear nothing but local boys playing futbol after school on the courts below and church bells. Some great restaurants. Especially loved Il Pino and Kasai. Pirate bar was great for cocktails during the day. Lots of stairs but your heart and legs will thank you later! The apartment was nicely laid out and we were so grateful for the coffee and jams and other eats that were there waiting on arrival. Luigi is great and we had zero issues with the apartment. (Everything in working order!) Views are as lovely as any other town along the coast. Great peaceful spot, we were very happy. Wish we’d stayed longer than five nights here!

Fantastic Villa in an Amazing Location!
Highly recommend staying at Villa Antica in Praiano! The villa and location were as picturesque as the listing portrays. Virginia and Luigi were very helpful and easy to communicate with - both through email and Whatsapp. The views from the balconies are spectacular! The villa itself is absolutely gorgeous and the pool was perfect on the hot September days. The kitchen was everything we needed to prepare several convenient meals and the two markets nearby had everything we needed. We very much appreciated having a washing machine and A/C in the villa as several days there were quite warm. We highly recommend the local restaurant Kasai for fantastic food, service and views - just call in advance for reservations during busy seasons. We rented a car from Naples and free parking was available not far from the villa. There are quite a few stairs to navigate getting to and from the villa, but we had no issues with them. While in Praiano, we took a day trip to Pompeii which was very informative. We also booked an amazing, all-day private boat charter to Capri that picked us up right in the nearby Praiano Marina. Highly recommend this experience! We would absolutely book another stay at Villa Antica and would highly recommend it as a beautiful vacation spot on the Amalfi Coast! It was a memorable trip all around and we're thankful this was our landing spot for most of it!

Our stay could not have been more perfect! Not only is the Amalfi coast stunning, this home is full of art boasted ceilings that will catch your attention the whole time you are there. Luigi and his team are so welcoming and inviting. We also had a chance to visit his ceramic shop which was also incredibly beautiful. If you are looking for a place on the Amalfi coast, I highly recommend booking here!

Villa Antica was exactly as advertised, the accommodations were wonderful and the view was spectacular! The owner’s son met us where our driver dropped us off and escorted us to the villa, making it easy to find our way. He even helped to carry the suitcases! We felt so fortunate to have a private pool to cool off on the hot summer days. I highly recommend this place!

Amalfi coast vacation
My family absolutely loved Villa antica. It is even more beautiful in person. Luigi was so helpful before and during our stay. We were so happy to stay in praiano away from the busy tourist town of positano and amalfi. It was a quick bus ride to visit the other towns on the coast and so nice to be able to come back to a quiet and peaceful villa. There are great restaurants nearby and a market if you need anything. We loved this small village feel and being with the locals. Everyone was so friendly. We especially enjoyed hearing the church bells ringing throughout the day. The views from the Villa are breathtaking. We have teenage boys and they loved it. Having a private pool to ourselves was a bonus. Our favorite place to grab coffee and breakfast and even an afternoon snack was at gym tonic, it’s about a 10 minute walk. I would highly recommend this property
