Praiano, pools on the cliff

Praiano villas with a pool over the sea

In Praiano a private pool is quiet luxury in the truest sense. The village has no long beach, only small coves reached by stairs, so a pool of your own means swimming whenever you like, with the whole coast laid out below, and no need to compete for a sun lounger in August.

The villas below show how varied these pools can be. Steps from the centre of Furore, a 12.50 m infinity pool with water jets sits beside a courtyard of lemon trees. Above Praiano, a house rebuilt from a ruin has a saltwater infinity pool and a heated indoor spa pool for cooler days. At Conca dei Marini a pool is set into the cliff, with a stone platform stepping into the sea, and elsewhere a hydromassage pool comes with 152 steps down to Marina di Praia.

Saltwater or fresh

Some pools here are saltwater, gentler on eyes and skin. If it matters to you, ask and we will confirm the type for each house.

Early and late season

May and October can be warm by day but cool at night. A heated pool or indoor spa pool extends swimming at either end of the season.

Compact and deep

Pools on cliff terraces are often compact and deep at one end. Tell us if you need a shallow area for children or less confident swimmers.

Questions before you choose

When are the pools open?

Villa pools on this coast usually open in May and close in October. Outside those months they are generally covered, unless the owner has a heated or indoor pool.

Can we also swim in the sea from Praiano?

Yes. Marina di Praia has a small beach, and there are rocky swimming spots and bathing platforms along the shore. Some villas here have their own steps or ladder into the water.

How quickly will we hear back?

Within one working day. Add up to five villas to one enquiry with your dates; we check availability and price directly with each house. In high season, stays generally start on a Saturday.
