Villa Crystal

Location and Surrounding Area

Located near the heart of Praiano, this elegant two-bedroom villa is the perfect place for a stylish break on one of the most celebrated stretches of coastline in the Mediterranean. With a spectacular setting facing the Tyrrhenian Sea, it is no wonder the Amalfi Coast is a must-visit destination on everyone's bucket list. With its dreamy setting, suspended between the mountains and the sea, Praiano offers a quiet charm that is closely connected to nature.

Despite its mountainside setting, Praiano has always had a strong connection with the sea. Its ancient name likely derives from the Latin for “open sea” because the town sits on a cape along the Amalfi Coast. The town has long been known for fishing, including the production of nets, and later coral fishing. Evidence of the fishing tradition can be seen at the Marina di Praia beach, which is often covered with small wooden boats and heaps of fishing cages and nets.

With a seeming maze of streets and staircases, Amalfi is a town best explored on foot. While Piazza Duomo and the main street are home to most of the town’s shops and restaurants, do spend some time wandering and exploring the quieter side streets, where you will find arched passageways, hidden gardens and tiny piazzas. Sitting high in the hills above Amalfi, Ravello is famous for its ravishing gardens and stupendous views, the best in the world according to former resident Gore Vidal.

The villa is also a few kilometers from Sorrento. The ancient town center of Sorrento is laid out on a Roman grid of narrow lanes, now lined with exclusive restaurants serving gnocchi and shops selling lemon-themed souvenirs, but away from the well-worn paths are little-explored nooks and crannies. From Sorrento, hop on the Circumvesuviana train to march around the ancient sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum, destroyed by the eruption of the Vesuvius.

Villa Crystal is 68 km from Naples Capodichino International Airport and 296 km from Rome Leonardo da Vinci International Airport. Positano is 7 km from the villa, Amalfi is 11 km, Ravello is 17 km, Sorrento is 22 km, Pompeii is 42 km, Herculaneum is 42 km, Naples is 64 km. The villa is just a 5-minute drive from the center Praiano, where all the necessary services can be easily found. On foot, the villa is just 600 m from Praiano.
