Praiano Italy Villa for Rent

This is a detached Positano Vacation home of 60 square meters (650 square feet) suitable for 2-4 people, with a 30 square meters (320 square feet) terrace from where you can enjoy a spectacular panorama of the sea and coast, and a small rustic garden. There is a double bedroom, a spacious sitting room, a large kitchen and a bathroom.

This home is situated in the heart of Praiano’s pedestrian precinct, a few steps from St. Luke’s Square and the Cathedral of the same name. You arrive there by going down a short stairway that, when viewed from the square, gives the impression of plunging to the sea.

The house is part of the old residential Praiano; made up of small white houses placed along the sloping hills that descend steeply to the sea. Nearly all of the buildings are surrounded by small flower gardens or vegetable patches and are linked to each other by characteristic paths and stone stairways; there is peace, silence and harmony, and the air is full of the scent of lemons. There is only one adjective to describe a place like this: charming!

The home is surrounded by a small rustic garden. It also has a 30 square meters (320 square feet) terrace and balconies high over the garden so as to enjoy, from everywhere, the beautiful view of the sea and sky framed by green fruit trees. The house is airy and bright.

The house dates back to the 700s, which is verified by the vaulted ceilings in the rooms. This way of building the ceilings together with the thick stonewalls means that there is a natural air conditioning system that still works today. The entrance to the house is by means of an annex that allows access to the terrace and the rooms in the house. The terrace is large and full of sunshine. There are also views of the sea and coast. Here you will find garden furniture and under a partially shaded area there is a table and chairs for eating al fresco.

The sitting room is furnished with a bed settee, a table and chairs, and there is a French Window that runs the whole length of the balcony shaded by a pergola. Below the balcony there is the garden and in front of it there is the sky, the sea and the unmistakable outline of the coast right up to Capo Conca.
