基安裡卡別墅飯店(Villa Gianlica)

This place is a gem. I am not sure if the words that will follow in this review will do it justice but I will try. Firstly, the staff. They made our 6 night stay. Marika, Tomaso and Silvio are the most wonderfully witty and helpful individuals who will make you feel part of the family. Nothing was too hard - they made great restaurant recommendations, explained how to get around, how to do laundry and catch the bus, and taught my husband horrible Italian. The chef in the kitchen and all the other staff were equally as wonderful, I just didn’t sadly catch their names! The gardens. If you love eating fresh food that has been grown within a 0km radius - this is your place. Breakfast is plentiful with savory dishes, such as eggs and a range of veggie sides, and sweet items including cakes and fresh fruit. (Highly recommend an omelette and loading it up with all the eggplant, tomatoes and onions from the garden!) We also stayed and had lunch on the property twice. After we ordered, the staff would ask the brilliant gardener (who’s name I also never caught) to go gather the fresh produce. It resulted in some of the best pastas we had in Italy. Location - perfect. If you think you are “settling” by staying in Praiano over Positano, think again. Towns like the Amalfi and Positano are very crowded with day trippers, so it’s nice to visit but then retreat to a quiet secluded slice of the world. You feel like a local in Praiano. Restaurants - so many good ones nearby. Kasai is the top of our list. We loved it so much we went back a second time and ordered the same dishes again! Il Pino and La Strada also excellent. The beach. Yes the stairs are brutal but it’s worth it. Swim off the concrete or rent sun loungers at Il Pirata and enjoy a day on the water. The room - we stayed in room 10 and loved it. We had a private terrace with sun loungers and chairs overlooking the water. Felt like we had a private Villa most of the time as we only saw people at breakfast. Air con was the best we have had in Europe so far and helped on the hot days. We will miss this slice of the world - we hope you enjoy!

This is an absolute gem of a place. The location and area are perfect if you don’t want to stay in the bustle of nearby places like Positano and Amalfi but are close enough to visit easily. The view from the hotel is simply stunning. We had the big terrace and spent hours just staring at the sea. The staff are super friendly and have excellent local knowledge and will help with restaurant bookings etc. The food is gorgeous with many ingredients coming from the stunning grounds. We spent a lot of time at the hotel, enjoying the spotless facilities and food and wine. We visited other places but loved this hotel and Praiano the most. It is so chilled and relaxing and we loved every minute. We actually got engaged here too! Thank you so much for an amazing holiday! See you again soon I hope!

We loved everything about Gianlica! The room had a beautiful garden/terrace with stunning views of Amalfi coast. The pool area was amazing with lounge chairs and umbrellas as well as pool side service for drinks and appetizers. The breakfast included all fruits and vegetables from the garden at the hotel. The breakfast was fresh and included many options such as eggs, omelettes, fresh juices, pastries and Italian delights. Make sure you take a walk around the beautiful garden! Tomaso, Silvio, Marika and the entire staff made us feel at home and part of the Villa Gianlica family. They made reservations for us at IL Pino (which included a taxi service to and from the restaurant at no cost), Kasai and One Fire Beach club. They provided detailed instructions on how to use the bus transportation. Our AC was not working properly so they generously gave us a fan to use which made the room a lot cooler. I recommend taking a private transfer/taxi to get to Villa Gianlica as the buses were not on time and the roads are very narrow and difficult to navigate with luggage. We highly recommend this hotel for a quiet stay in a quaint little town away from the crowds.

Loistava pieni hotelli Huikea naköala merelle Henkilökunta ystävällinen ja avulias Ihana ja rauhallinen allasalue

Magnifique séjour dans ce bel endroit. Très calme et facile d’y accéder au pied. Le personnel est très aimable. Nous aurions toutefois aimé plus d’accompagnement ‘service’ lors du check-in: explication des horaires de bus, ou acheter des billets, conseils sur les restaurants, ce qu’il y a à faire dans la région etc.

Superschönes, kleines Hotel, schöne Zimmer mit bester Aussicht aufs Meer, schöner Pool und kleiner Terrassenbereich zum Frühstücken und für ein kleines Mittagessen. Superfreundliche und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter, entspannte und ruhige A**osphäre, Parkplätze vorhanden (rechtzeitig reservieren!) Würde ich sofort wieder buchen.

ci siamo fermati per 5 giorni... bellissimo. avevamo una camera stupenda immersa in un orto... personale cordialissimo e disponibile ... rilassante punto di ristoro durante le quotidiane visite della costiera amalfitana ... grazie a tutti lo staff...

Posto incantevole immerso nel verde e con una vista sul mare bellissima. Buona pulizia della camera, peccato alcuni dettagli tra cui frigo bar misero per una camera superior e quel poco che c'era (2 acqua e un prosecco) tutto a pagamento... tra cui una bottiglietta d'acqua! Peccato ! Almeno l'acqua potrebbe essere omaggiata,visto il costo di una notte in questa location. Personale molto cortese e disponibile, clima familiare !

We have been on a 3 week trip through Italy and this hotel by far has been the BEST! Marika at the hotel communicated with me via email before the trip helping me plan things to do for 10 of our friends. The hotel is the most beautiful property I’ve ever seen. The lunch they served when we arrived was amazing!!! We would definitely go back. Praiano is quiet but it is easy to travel to other cities. Best restaurant was In Pirato incredible views and delicious food!
