Holiday Home Description

Casa Ivetta is a lovely 50-square-meter (about 538 square feet) house which sleeps three people. It features a terrace from which you can enjoy a spectacular view of the sea and the coast. Casa Ivetta is located in the historical center of Praiano. It has air-conditioning and parking space.

Praiano is in the heart of the Amalfi Coast, located halfway between Amalfi and Positano, about 7 km (about 4.3 miles) away from either towns.

Casa Ivetta has a double bedroom, a living-room with a kitchenette, and a bathroom with shower.

Casa Ivetta is located in the center of Praiano, in front of a large square which is the most beautiful panoramic spot above the sea of the upper area of Praiano. The street which connects the state road to the pedestrian area ends right at this square. You will also be a few feet away from Piazza S. Luca and its homonymous cathedral.

The house is part of the old area of Praiano, consisting of little white houses distributed on the slopes of the hill which steeply descends towards the sea. All the houses are surrounded by small flower and vegetable gardens and connected through characteristic pedestrian narrow streets and stone stairways. The inhabitants of the place live in this area, which is not tourist crowded.

The blue of the sea and the green of the coast, the vivid colors of red Boungainvillea which lean on the white arches of the houses, the perfume of lemon gardens, the simple and warm cordiality of the inhabitants of the place: that is what your senses and mind will experience throughout your whole vacation, an emotion which will infatuate you and raise in you a desire to come back!

You don’t need a car during your stay at Casa Ivetta as the local bus stops a few feet away from the house. However, if you have a car, there is parking space available.

You will enter it through a little gate placed by the road, which will lead you into a gracious entrance. An indoor staircase will lead you to the first floor, where you will have the living-room.

The living-room is illuminated by a patio door which leads you to a small covered terrace. From the terrace you can enjoy a fascinating view of the sea and the coast.

In the living-room you will have bright, pleasant, and well cared-for furnishings: the floor is in glossy pink terracotta from the local artifact, there is a table and a beautiful modern white couch, several colorful objects, and a gracious kitchenette. The couch is a divan bed for one guest.

The kitchenette is close to a bright window overlooking the sea: you will enjoy eating while looking at the sea, the blue sky, and the enthralling stretch of coast before your eyes!

The kitchenette is equipped with a four-burner stove, an oven, a fridge with freezer, and a dishwasher.

The double bedroom is on the upper floor, and you reach it after climbing an indoor staircase. The bedroom is also elegantly and pleasantly furnished. The bathroom is inside the bedroom and equipped with a shower.

From the bedroom you can reach a gracious covered terrace furnished with deck chairs. From the terrace you will be able to enjoy an endless view of the sea and the coast.

You will enjoy relaxing in the place before such beauty from the first beams of sunlight at sunrise until sunset, when the moon rises over the sea…

During your stay at Villa Ivetta, you will be close to one of the most typical beaches of the Amalfi Coast, the beach of Praia. The beach spreads from the base of a narrow gorge enclosed by high rocky walls deeply incised by erosion.

To reach the beach you can take the local bus which stops about 10 meters (approximately 33 feet) away from the villa.

However, don’t miss the chance of going to beach on foot at least once if you are in good shape: you can descend from the villa until the State Road through shortcuts consisting of stairways. Once you have crossed the State Road, you will have to go along a picturesque pedestrian foot path goes past the medieval Tower and descends towards the sea through a trail dug along the rocks. The breathtaking scenery will compensate the workout to go along the way. Rendering the walk even more pleasant, once you have arrived at the beach, are the small bars and restaurants which feature tables on rocks caressed by the waters of the sea…
