Villa Antica - Praiano Villas

A special place for a special holiday, Villa Antica is one of the Amalfi Coast's best kept secrets and a real find for those who have always dreamed of staying in an elegant period residence within steps of the Mediterranean sea.

The one-time home of Praiano-born painter, Bernado della Lama, Villa Antica has been meticulously restored so as to conserve all its original 17th century charm whilst allowing for the careful integration of the latest in contemporary comfort and technology. Guest accommodation is provided in just 2, beautifully appointed double bedrooms, featuring ornate frescoed ceilings and antiques and equipped with air conditioning and wireless internet connectivity.

In the old fishing village of Praiano, there are any number of excellent restaurants in which to savor the flavors of the Amalfi Coast; enjoying the area's exquisite maritime cuisine and dishes made with the sun-ripened fruit and vegetables grown on the precipitous terraces above the town. For guests who enjoy cooking, the villa's large family kitchen has all the appliances needed to whip up a full-blown Mediterranean feast. After a leisurely lunch, holidaymakers might easily be found lazing on the villa's panoramic terrace, a glass of ice cold limoncello in hand, or snoozing in the sun by the swimming pool.

An idyllic retreat for both a romantic weekend or a relaxing week-long family holiday, Villa Antica provides the perfect base from where to explore Praiano and all the other pretty little towns on the Amalfi Coast. Positano, Conca dei Marini, Furore, Atrani, Maiori and Minori are, in fact, all just a short, and incredibly scenic, car or boat ride away.

1. Old world romance in sea-view bedrooms adorned with ornate frescoes and antiques.
2. A vacation in a 17th century residence once inhabited by Bernardo della Lama.
