Praiano, above open water

Sea view villas in Praiano

Few places on the coast give you as much sea as Praiano. The village is strung along the steep headland of Capo Sottile, so houses look not into a bay but straight out across open water, with Positano and the little Li Galli islands to the west and, on clear days, the outline of Capri.

Among the houses below, five sea view bedrooms each open onto a private terrace, with a hydromassage pool and 152 steps down to the beach at Marina di Praia. In the pedestrian heart of the village, a vaulted living room gives onto sea view terraces and a pool on a terrace of its own. Above Praiano, a colonnaded terrace and a sea view pool sit beside a dining room with fragments of Roman columns, while at Conca dei Marini steps drop through a garden to a ladder into the sea.

The view changes by the hour

Morning light is soft and silver on the water; by evening the coast turns amber as the sun goes down towards Positano.

Ask which rooms face the sea

In a cliff house not every bedroom shares the view. Ask us which rooms look out to sea before you choose.

Wine from the cliffs

Neighbouring Furore grows vines on narrow terraces above the sea, and its white wine, sold under the Costa d'Amalfi name, suits dinner outside.

Questions before you choose

Which months have the clearest views?

Spring and autumn often bring the sharpest air, when Capri stands out on the horizon. Summer can be hazy in the heat of the day, though evenings are usually clearer.

Are sea view villas far from the water?

Views come from height, so most houses sit above the sea and reach it by steps or a short drive. A few, such as those near Conca dei Marini, have their own way down.

How do I enquire?

Pick up to five villas and send one request with your dates and number of guests. We check each house with its owner and reply within one working day. In high season, rentals run Saturday to Saturday.
