About this property

Casa Alessia - Big terrace on the sea, ideal for large families

Casa Alessia is a charming panoramic villa that forms part of the Casa Giorgia complex, while offering its own private entrance and complete independence. Located in the heart of Praiano, it features sea views, elegant coastal-style interiors, and comfortable outdoor spaces. With 4 bedrooms accommodating up to 10 guests, the villa is ideal for families and groups. Just 50 steps from the main road, it is within walking distance of restaurants, shops, cafés, and public transport.



ACCOMMODATION FEATURES

Casa Alessia is spread over two levels and is part of a larger property known as Casa Giorgia, though it enjoys its own private and independent entrance.



FIRST FLOOR

• Large terrace with lounge chairs and an outside dining table

• Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and dining table for 10 people

• Large living room with sofa bed (bed size 160x190)

• 2 double bedrooms (bed size 160x190) with access to the main terrace

• 2 private bathrooms, one for each bedroom (one of the bathrooms has a bathtub)

• 1 toilet

• 1 laundry room



SECOND FLOOR (accessible from the first floor, using about 15 private external steps)

• Large terrace with deck chairs, dining table and barbecue

• Living room with sofa, fireplace and dining table

• Kitchen, fully equipped with dishwasher and washing machine

• 1 double room with sea view (bed size 160x190),

• 1 bedroom with 2 single beds (bed size 190x90) - sea view, with private bathroom

• 1 bathroom (outside the bedrooms) with large shower



LOCATION AND NEARBY ATTRACTIONS

Casa Alessia is ideal for guests seeking privacy, tranquility, and unique panoramic views, while staying close to services and coastal attractions:

• Grocery store (Tutto per Tutti), just few minutes’ walk downhill

• Main beach - Marina di Praia - reachable via scenic walks or local transport (20min walk downhill)

• Bars, restaurants and Local bus stops just a few minutes’ walk downhill

• Shuttle and bus connections to Positano, Amalfi, and other destinations along the Amalfi Coast - 200 MT walk downhill



Note: All services and points of interest are reached by going up or down steps, in line with the typical urban layout of Praiano and the Amalfi Coast. This feature is part of the authentic local experience but makes the property more suitable for guests comfortable with walking and stairs.



ACCESS AND PARKING

Casa Alessia is located in a pedestrian-only area, typical of Praiano, and cannot be reached directly by car. Access is exclusively on foot via a scenic path with around 60 steps. For this reason, the property is not recommended for guests who do not enjoy walking, climbing stairs, or who have mobility issues.



Upon request, a paid porter service can be arranged for luggage assistance at check-in and check-out.

• Private paid parking available on request at approximately 100 meters from the property (advance booking strongly recommended, especially in high season).

• Public paid parking available at approximately 200 meters from the property. Parking is not reservable and may be crowded in high season due to the limited number of spaces.



GETTING AROUND

Thanks to its strategic location, Casa Alessia allows guests to explore the Amalfi Coast easily even without a car.



• Boat excursions from Praiano (Marina di Praia – approx. 1 km): The most scenic and relaxing way to travel along the coast. Ideal for visiting Capri, Positano, Amalfi, and sea-access-only coves while avoiding traffic and parking issues.

• Public buses (SITA and local buses – stop approx. 200 m away): Regular connections to Positano and Amalfi. A practical and economical option, though often crowded and slower during high season.

• Private driver: Offers comfort and flexibility, with higher costs compared to public transport and limited availability during peak periods. Advance booking (at least one day ahead) is recommended.

• On foot: The most authentic way to experience Praiano. All services are reachable by walking, always involving steps and elevation changes typical of the area. Recommended for guests accustomed to walking.

• Scooter rental: Provides greater independence in terms of schedules and routes, but is recommended only for experienced riders comfortable with narrow and busy coastal roads.

Fantastic stay.

Really cool setup with the 2 separate “living apartments” but right next to each other connected by a breathtaking balcony. Very responsive host. Be ready to walk up a few flights to get to the apartment but worth it. Would stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay in Praiano

We had a wonderful stay in Praiano. Francesco was incredibly helpful and very responsive. He gave suggestions on where to eat and organized taxis for us. Praiano was a perfect place to stay. Has some great restaurants and the town is quiet. The house was perfect for our group of 6. Lots of space and had everything we needed. Would definitely come back.

Great space for large group

We liked the property and the multiple kitchens/washers, but there is not much to do in the winter unless you rent a car and drive to Amalfi or Sorrento. The host was really communicative and helpful and I bet this place comes alive in the summer. I would stay again, but not in the off-season.

Dear Kaela, Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the property and the convenience of the multiple kitchens and washers. It’s true that the area is more lively in the summer, but even in winter, it offers peaceful spots and stunning views, although having a car is helpful for exploring Amalfi, Sorrento, and the surrounding areas. We are happy to hear that you found our communication helpful, and we’d love to welcome you back in the future. Hopefully, you will visit when the area is even more vibrant!

Lovely Praiano Home

We were very happy with our stay here in Praiano. It was clean and simply decorated. A perfect place to sleep after days on boat trips and at the beach clubs. The grocery store down the street is very well stocked and convenient. The kitchen was a bit sparse but we made it work.

Excellent place.

Location in praiano is very good. Both houses are spacious. Bathrooms were clean and also very spacious. We would be back here. There are steps to get to this house but they are not that bad. We got a bag for kitchen cleaning that seemed brand new. When we opened, the brush was used and had a smell. The house upstairs had intermittent hot water.

Francesco is an exceptional host.

He was highly responsive before, during, and after our stay, making sure all our needs were met. He assisted us with arranging transportation from Naples to Praiano and provided excellent recommendations for things to do in the area. The check-in process was smooth and straightforward thanks to his clear instructions. We stayed in two units, both of which were fantastic. The apartments offer stunning views and are conveniently located near the main street and bus stop. We were pleasantly surprised to find toiletries provided, a rarity in many of the places we stayed in Italy. The beach is about a 15-20 minute walkless than 10 minutes by bus. We highly recommend this place, especially for large groupsfamilies.

Very spacious and serene getaway

Ideal for families with gorgeous sea view balconies. We picked our own lemons, rosemary and oregano in the house’s garden. Francesco was helpful throughout our stay, arranging a boat excursion with Antonio that was a highlight of our trip. He also provided beach towels on request and was responsive to several maintenance issues. The location is close to Tutto per tutti, a grocery store, and a 10 min walk from the Via Roma Sita bus stop. Like anywhere in Praiano, the location requires some strenuous stair climbing to get around, especially to get to beaches. The plus side is that it’s less crowded, and we appreciated the quieter pace here in comparison to Positano and Amalfi.

Amazing Support!

We have never came across such an amazing team caring supportive and th we attention to detail. Francesco and the team have left us a welcoming pack with a dinner breakfast and more. The kitchen has absolutely everything you’ll need for cooking olive oil spices…etc The house is well equipped in a very clean state and extremely comfortable beds, the house has few steps however the views and terrasses are just a dream. Francesco has responded to all our many questions helped settle and made sure we didn’t need anything, he has also organised a boat a car park and has made sure we were looked after in this gorgeous town. I’ll strongly advise to hire a scooter in order to explore the area. Thank you Francesco, we can not thank you enough for this outstanding service. .

Overall great experience

Perfect location in town and on the Amalfi Coast. Good customer service and amazing view. Very spacious villa and I would still recommend to a friend. We only had a few disappointments with the Villa and customer service. The TVs did works as advertised the entirety of our stay but once I notified the manager he worked hard to have service repaired. We really didn’t plan on watching any TV during our stay so it wasn’t a huge deal. Also the downstairs coffee maker wasn’t working and only one filter was available to make coffee. So we had to go out and buy filters after the coffee maker was replaced.Another issue was the bed comfort in the downstairs master bedroom. Worse mattress I’ve slept on in 10 years. For the price of this Villa I think that is unacceptable. Despite these issues… We were still charged an additional €15 for additional sets of towels. You’d think they would have given them complimentary after all the issues we had. Oh well.

Frustrating experience

I have rented many homes in Europe and in the US through VRBO and HomeAway. I am a seasoned traveler who understands that occasional mishaps happen. I also have waited six weeks before posting this review in the hope that the SMAAC property manager would reply to my private email to her. I rented Casa Alessia for a 3-night stay with six relatives (cousins, nieces, no couples). It is a 2-BR home, but is rented with a house directly above it for larger groups (Casa Giorgia, also 2-BR). We arrived in raw, rainy 50F weather, and were greeted by Norman from the SMAAC Office. Within minutes of arriving at the upper house, the electricity went out. We had to text Norman for help with the circuit breakers, outside and in the rain, all to no avail. Also, the front door had been recently painted and was sticking. We couldn’t open it from the inside or the outside; we had to exit from a side, unlocked door. We were exhausted, so we went out for dinner while Norman resolved the power issue. Later he told us that the electrician would not arrive until the morning. The six of us reluctantly agreed to bunk in the downstairs house. My sister and I slept on the couches without sheets and with a soiled comforter. The next day, I texted Norman for an update. He replied that there was an unresolvable issue with the electricity. (He also mentioned that they’d had similar issues with that house.) He offered a 3-BR house (Casa Fralisa), but all six of us would have to move. We told him that this was unacceptable as our reservation had been for a 4-BR place. He finally relented and allowed three of us to move to that new house; the others could remain in Alessia. The next day, we left Fralisa early and returned that evening to a freezing, 42F-degree house. The power was out in that house! We had to re-set the circuit breakers 4 times in 45 minutes, outside and in the rain. Still no power. I texted Norman. His verbatim reply: “I am not in Praiano. I can meet you tomorrow morning only.” That was it. I then called Enza in the SMAAC Office. She brought an electrician to the house, then told us that we had turned on too many lights and we set the heat too high. Why had no one advised us that we could not turn multiple lights or that we needed to keep the heat below a certain temperature? There were other issues as well. Steer clear of this property company! Note: there is no direct link to post reviews on the VRBO site. I had to write to VRBO to request the link.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Apr 2020
Dear Mrs Kathy Baer, I'm Enza Milano and I'm the owner of SMAAC. We are so sorry your stay is not been what you wished, but I am really surprised by this feedback. Moreover, it is the first time we read a comment from you about your stay: we've never got any emails and you seemed also quite happy when you left! We work hardly everyday to offer the best to our customers. There are just circumstances that are not under our control, but that we try to manage in the best way. This is been one of those. Considering that one of the floor of Casa Alessia was working perfectly, we firstly offered to you a floor of the same property, which has 2 other bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. You used it for one night, then you told us you were not happy with it. So we offer an additional property, 2 mins walking away from the first one: this time with 3 more bedrooms and 3 more bathrooms (actually one of our best properties). But you slept here just one night then you moved again at the first property. Please note: all these trips were supported by a free porter service. Moreover I need to clarify the contacts problem: the main point of our interest. In each one of our properties the customers can find a clear paper with our contacts. Norman work with me and, of course, he follows a schedule time. He is often available even outside his working hours. But if the customers cannot reach him (outside his working hours) they have my ph number and I answer during the night as well. I can understand that all the efforts are not valued from all ones at the same way, but looking for Casa Alessia in Praiano it is easy to find a lots of reviews about us and our services, left from our customers, who stayed with us just before and after you. Kindest regards Enza Milano
