Picture of Praiano: Campania

In the heart of the sleepy fishing village of Praiano, in a restored ancient villa, home apartment beckons you to discover another side to the spectacular Amalfi Coast.

Charming 17th century arches and columns frame a picture-perfect view of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Brew a fresh pot of coffee and head to the balcony to catch a sunrise – believe us when we say it's worth the early start.

After a leisurely morning, head off to explore the town. A less beaten path than its neighbouring town of Positano, this is the place to be if you're looking for authentic Italian appeal. If you're seeking out some of the Amalfi Coast's best nature spots, make sure you add a hike on the 'Path of the Gods' to your itinerary, considered by many to be the best hiking trail in the area thanks to sweeping mountain views of the Mediterranean.

After a day of exploring, head home to relax in the outdoor hot tub, before indulging in a laid-back dinner cooked on the barbecue.
