Perfect location with lovely views
September 2024 - We loved staying here! It was in a perfect location with lovely views of the water and the church. We enjoyed watching the sunset each evening from the balcony. The apartment was very clean with comfortable seating and beds and excellent air conditioning. Everything we needed was included - even a washing machine. A small grocery store was next door and wonderful restaurants, shops, and beaches are within walking distance. The apartment is about twenty steps upstairs from the street.
The tomatoes, olive oil, bread, and sweets were a lovely gift. Thank you! We bought mozzarella at the store next door and had a small feast.
I think you all do a wonderful job. I booked with Summer In Italy because the description of the apartment was exactly what we needed.
Travel tips
- It’s very easy to walk anywhere in Praiano and the bus is easy to navigate if you have no luggage.
- We took a taxi to Positano when departing with our luggage which was 50 Euros. I think the bus was only 2 or 3 Euros.
- Definitely eat at Restaurant Franchino and Restaurant La Dolce Vista.
- Go to Ravello!

July 2024 - The views from the balcony are stunning and the apartment well appointed.
The hostesses are friendly and helpful.
It is beautiful in Praiano and the accommodation was very comfortable! I wish I could have stay for longer and explored more of what Praiano and surrounds had to offer. I would definitely recommend this place to others planning to come here.

Very comfortable and conveniently located, and the view is stunning!
October 2023 - Raffaela’s home is very comfortable and inviting with lovely finishes. It is conveniently located near a SITA bus stop, various shops, and the very helpful tourist office. The view from the main bedroom balcony is stunning, and we never tired of looking at it, seeing how the water and light changed through the day. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals, and we enjoyed relaxing at the table.
Praiano is a lovely town, quieter than Positano or Amalfi, and served as a good base for trips to Positano, Amalfi and Ravello.
Raffaela is a warm and gracious host. She met us when we arrived and made sure we were settled well. She also made dinner reservations for us in Praiano, and that evening was a highlight of our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

Honestly cannot recommend this apartment enough!
April 2023 - We couldn't have found a more perfect apartment for our week exploring the Amalfi Coast. The apartment is perfectly situated for the bus stop and mini supermarket, both of which are a 30 second walk. And there are many wonderful restaurants and cafes all within easy walking distance too. The apartment was only a few steps up from the main street, which makes a big difference! Praiano works well as a base for exploring as it is in the middle of the bus line between Sorrento-Positano-Amalfi, so everywhere is within easy reach.
The apartment itself was spotlessly clean, nicely decorated and with plenty of space. We felt very comfortable there. The showers were good and the kitchen was well equipped without being cluttered.
The owners were lovely and extremely helpful! Raffaela checked taxi prices for us and also sent me all the latest bus timetables via WhatsApp. There was also milk, biscuits and lemons left for us when we arrived which was much appreciated! Honestly cannot recommend this apartment enough!

Nice quiet location with an amazing view
October 2022 - Beautiful place to stay in Praiano. Nice quiet location with an amazing view from the balcony. Right in the middle of Amalfi and Positano with a bus stop right out front which was very convenient. Coffee and biscuits provided were very appreciated as well as the washing machine! Loved starting our day with a coffee on the balcony overlooking the water.
Grazie mille Raffaela, everything was wonderful.

September 2022 - An amazing place to stay. Fantastic view of the Amalfi Coast right out the main bedroom balcony. A great spot to sit and enjoy a drink and local cheese. Perfect for couples and families.
Raffaela was a great host and even met us off the bus.
We will definitely visit again and stay here.
Fantastic to deal with Summer In Italy.
Travel tips
- A cafe directly below for the perfect espresso or Italian croissant.
- A small supermarket is just below as well with everything you need to cook your own.
- The bus stop is directly out in front to visit Amalfi or Positano. Also, the Marozzi bus to Rome departs directly out in front, which is highly recommended instead of bus and train.
- Highly recommend Che Bonta Restaurant which you can eat in or order online. It’s a 1 minute walk from the house.
- Direct access to the Path of the Gods walk.

August 2022 - We just spent 10 days at the apartment. There is everything you could need here. Lots of room in the bedrooms with plenty of storage/drawers etc and air con. Decor is lovely. Plenty of towels, plates, cups, glasses, pans etc. We didn't have to get any extras as everything was there. 2 great sized shower rooms with powerful showers. Very secure as it has shared grounds with a locked gate. It is a beautiful property.
There is a grocery shop 1 minute walk that sells everything. Bus stop is 1 minute walk.
Hosts were lovely and met us late at night to greet us. They were extremely helpful and lovely.
DO NOT HIRE A CAR AS ITS EXPENSIVE TO PARK AND THERE ARE VERY FEW SPACES. WE DIDNT FIND ANY FREE OFF STREET PARKING AT ALL SO IT COST US £100 TO PARK FOR 10 DAYS.

Very well located property with an amazing view!
September 2021 - We had a great stay at Apartment Lella! It’s located in the middle of Praiano right next to all important shops and the bus stop. The view from the balcony is amazing. We loved sitting outside and watching the sea.
However it’s right on the main street and so one bedroom is quite loud when sleeping with an open window. If you’re used to sleep with air conditioning it’s super quiet as you don’t need to open the windows.
The host is super nice and helpful regarding anything you ask her!
We would definitely recommend this apartment as it’s also a good deal considering the very pricey region. Great booking, would book again.

The view is magnificent and its location is exceptional
October 2019 - We loved this apartment! The view is magnificent and its location is exceptional.
The apartment was super clean and very well equipped. The beds are very comfortable.
Everything is within walking distance: grocery, fruit store, bakery, ATM, restaurants, bus stop and tabacchi where you buy tickets for the bus. Its location allows you to appreciate and live the life of the residents of Praiano.
The owner is very welcoming.
The rental arrangements with Summer In Italy have been very easy.

We could not have enjoyed our stay more!
June 2019 - We could not have enjoyed our stay more! Everything was perfect: the location, the view, the amenities... We can't wait to go back!
It was close to everything and we did not have to climb a ton of stairs to get to the unit. We also though the snacks were a great touch especially after having to travel.
Everything was perfect!
Summer In Italy was easy to work with. Communication was excellent. Took all of the guesswork out of our stay.
Travel tips
- This location is right near (a 30 second walk) a bus stop (to go to Amalfi and Positano) as well as markets, convenient stores and restaurants.
- You do not have to climb a ton of stairs with luggage to get to the house (there was like 10-12).

September 2018 - Me and my wife loved Apartment Lella. We had a wonderful and comfortable vacation there. The apartment was near grocery, meat market, restaurants, and bus stops. The view and sunsets from the apartment terrace was wonderful.
The owner was kind enough to have juice, water, coffee, and their family grown lemons for us. In addition my wife lost an important earring at the apartment and the owner made sure we got it back. Just wonderful people.
All the people from Summer In Italy were outstanding. I will contact them when I return to Italy.

Thoroughly enjoyed it!
June 2018 - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Apartment Lella. The apartment itself was very well equipped with a stunning sea view from the balcony. In terms of location, the apartment was conveniently located and easily accessible with a very brief stair climb which was beneficial considering our luggage.
Praiano is a beautiful, charming village that I would not hesitate to return to and if I were to holiday in Praiano again, I would undoubtedly choose to stay in Apartment Lella.
Our hosts were extremely kind and helpful.
Travel tips
- For SITA bus services, tickets will not be sold on board and must be purchased in advance. A number of local shops in Praiano sell these tickets (for example most newsstands and tobacco stores).

June 2018 - We had a wonderful time at Apartment Lella. The property has two excellent sized and comfortable bedrooms each with their own bathrooms along with a well appointed kitchen and living room.
The owner, Mr Saverio, was a very kind host and was a great help on our arrival. As well as tips on where to go and how best to get there, he made sure we knew where to park our hire car and even helped us make a dinner reservation for our first evening in Praiano.
Praiano was a beautiful village and great location for exploring the Amalfi coast and beyond.
We thought your website and details of properties was very good and the personal communication from Luca was excellent. Well done. We will look at what you have for us next time we want to visit Italy.

The path to the beach is very near the apartment, as is the ATM, and many restaurants.
The apartment itself is bright and happy. A small balcony, large enough for 4 to sit on overlooking the sea. The bathrooms looked to be recently updated and were very nice. The kitchen was equipped with everything needed. The apartment had a washing machine, drying rack and 3 air conditioning units that worked great. Bedrooms had comfortable linens and good storage.
The owner was very nice and attentive.
