Amalfi Coast vacation
We spent 5 nights at the villa and overall had a wonderful stay. The villa is spacious and having the pool was really convenient as we were able to just relax and let the kids play in the pool at times. Praiano is a good location from which to explore the Amalfi Coast...as it’s nowhere near as manic as nearby Positano. You do need to be prepared to walk up/down lots of stairs though!
The property is managed by a group called SMAAC. Overall, they do a good job with check-in/check-out service and general communication and information. They offer a number of additional activities...one of which was having a chef come to the house. The chef was wonderful...but it was quite pricey. At €200 for 2 adults and 2 kids plus groceries that you pay on the spot (for us it added another €115!!)...it was expensive...and that is not inclusive of a beverage of any description. Added to that, the chef didn’t speak much English and there is no choice of what is cooked once they arrive ( which is not great for kids). We had to prepare some different food for our youngest once the chef left.
Another thing to note is that parking is at an additional charge and is not close to the villa (probably a 10min walk with stairs). We took the offer for free porter service upon arrival which was great - definitely take that option! The service was not offered for departure.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend the villa. The Amalfi Coast is a stunning place to explore!
