  • We had a wonderful time here in Praiano (8/31 - 9/5), it was heavenly! We are already dreaming about going back someday. You truly have a special place at Residence Deneb. We loved Praiano and felt no need to ever leave and visit other towns. We did the spectacular Walk of the Gods from Praiano to Positano one day. Glorious. Positano was nice, but crowded, and I couldn't wait to get back to our sweet village of Praiano and our perfect apartment. The swimming at the pool and in the sea was amazing--the warmest and clearest water I have ever been in. I could go on and on....it really was a dream. And I loved all the little lizards. Highlights: walk of the gods (recommend the sunflower guide by Tippett), dinner at Marina de Praia, the moonlight on the sea, swimming, dinner at Trattoria while watching kids play soccer in the square, eating every meal out on the terrace, shopping at Angela's grocery. Luca and Angela (of the local grocery) were fantastic -- so kind and helpful. They are a big part of what makes the residence and the village so welcoming and lovely. Elena, thank you for all of your helpful advice and info --- your personal touch is what made me feel good about taking a chance on a place we've never been to...and it exceeded all of our expectations. Potential guests, feel free to contact me if you have any questions: erinbackeast at gmail Erin

  • Just returned from a wonderful stay there.Great views and great location in the middle of the Amalfi coast!If you book this apartment, you will not be disappointed. Was the best part of our vacation in Italy. Many thanks to Elena for complete information about Amalfi coast and Tuscany, we were very impressed with the way she handled the booking.

  • Elena, Just a note to let you know that we (2 married couples) had a wonderful time at your property in Praiano on the Amalfi coast. It was as you described it, a great location, on the water and not far from town. We were able to sun on the deck and swim in the ocean (the 200 steps down are well maintained and good excercise). Pina, your housekeeper met us promptly, showed us where everything was (in your well supplied 2 bedroom apartment) and even drove all four of us to town the first day as we were tired and were looking for a good restaurant. The two grocery stores you suggested were very helpful and friendly and delivered our groceries right to the door. WE enjoyed visiting the towns up and down the coast, dining out 3 or 4 times and relaxing in our own paradise watching the beautiful sunsets. We couldn't have asked for more! Thanks again, Wayne and Agnes McCowan, Red Deer, Alberta, Canada Please feel free to have future guests contact us if they wish. P.S. Your tip that we take the bus to Rome (rather than the train) was far less stressful and was a relaxing ride. Thanks

  • Perfect! We stayed in one of Elena's apts from July 11-16th, 2009. It was our favorite part of our vacation. Elena and Ms. Pina are extremely hospitable and helpful! Apt is in an ideal location, has AMAZING views, and the sea access is fabulous for families with kids who love the water. We found that renting scooters was the best way to really explore the area and get around easily. Could not ask for anything better that this in a vacation rental!

  • We stayed in Praiano for 6 nights on our honeymoon. It was the more than we could have ever imagined. We stayed in in the one bedroom (which was more then enough room for my husband and I) which had a wonderful sun deck for some morning rays. All the information left by Elena was helpful, as we had some of our best meals at the restaurants she recommened. The town is lovely and I can't imagine staying anywhere else on the Amalfi Coast. Can't wait to go back!

  • Our short time in Praiano was made all the more pleasant by having this clean and comfortable apartment to go to after our days excursions. The views were a photographers dream. Elena was an excellent host and had all the inside information to experience the true culture of the Alamfi coast. All of the locals were more than eager to chat and assist us in everything we asked. We were also fortunate enough to stay in a large apartment in Rome. Virginias apartment was spacious enough to accommodate our party of eight. The location was perfect to catch the metro to all the major attractions, but was removed enough from the chaos of the city. This was my first time traveling overseas and I could not have asked for better experience.

  • I am now suffering the depression of having to return back to work after spending a heavenly week at Residence Deneb. We saw quite a bit of the Amalfi Coast and it was agreed that this location was a perfect choice. The views, the proximity to a beautiful and private swimming area, the food, the small town charm of Praiano all made for a fabulous trip. After having driven extensively the week before in Tuscany, it was so relaxing to park the car, use public transportation and sit back and unwind. We saw probably a dozen dolphins from the terrace one night around sunset. The apartment itself was lovely but honestly this was secondary to the location and views (we mainly went inside to sleep). Highly recommend the day trip to Capri from the Praiano marina on a rubber ducky boat or even just taking it as a water taxi to Positano. Praiano is such a welcoming village, you could easily forget that you’re a tourist. Lastly, it wouldn’t hurt to bring some aqua socks/swimming shoes as some of the rocks at the water can be sharp.

  • We fully agree with all the positive comments about the Praiano apartment so, rather than restate what others have already said, we'll add a few comments unique to our stay: We treated ourselves by having Pina and her friend (also named Pina) cook an authentic local meal for us and serve it on the terrace overlooking the Mediterranean. They did the shopping, brought the wine, prepared all the food, and cleaned up afterwards. Talk about guilty pleasure! In the serendipity department: as we walked to dinner at Casa Diva one evening we caught sight of a pair of dolphins, swimming close to shore in perfect synchronization, and watched them for several minutes. Very Romantico.

  • We stayed at the 3 bedroom apartment of the LaManna's and it was wonderful! It had fantastic views to sit and watch the boats go back in the morning and evening and the swimming down the 226!! steps was wonderful!! This is a very clean, well-kept, comfortable apartment in a pristine location! It was so nice to have a kitchen, place to read in the early morning (when my kids were all still sound asleep!) and relax without being on top of other family members! The little washing machine was GREAT to wash some laundry and having 2 bathrooms was terrific! I highly, highly recommend this apartment for those seeking to have a nice, relaxing stay on the Almalfi Coast and not have to be in cramped quarters! The food in the area is spectacular and there is so, so much to do that you won't fit it all in no matter HOW long you go for! We surely will be back to this same location in the future! Thank-You to this wonderful family!

  • We stayed at this apartment from 12-17 April 2009 and I can tell you that it was truly wonderful. Wow, what a view. We arrived on Easter Sunday from flying into Rome and met Mrs Pina around 3pm and when we asked where the store was located she advised us that due to Easter the store was closed so we could not get essentials, however, she would call Angela's Store and check. She did and they were closed but they actually took our order, opened up AND delivered the items to us!!! We were impressed! The restaurants in town were alright, but not outstanding, except for the pizza. We found it much more enjoyable to just pick up some things in town and bring home and throw together something and eat on the terrace and enjoy the view. There is a very good butcher in town to get some good steaks or chicken to grill (the apartment has a charcoal grill). If you go and you like to hike or run there are some very good trails with great views, make sure and take your camera. We did not rent a car and it was not a problem at all, there is a bus stop right outside of the gate at the entrance to the property. Also, being able to stay at Elena's moms in Rome was very nice, she is a really great lady and so, so helpful. If you are thinking of going and have any questions that a guest might be helpful on, please send me an email and I will try to respond.
