Casa Placida is a characteristic independent house built on the sloping cliff in front of the sea. It sleeps four people. From Casa Placida you will enjoy a fascinating view of the sea and of the coast from Positano to Punta Campanella, the western tip of the Sorrentine peninsula, and of the island of Capri on the horizon. Casa Placida is 50 square meters (540 square feet). It features two private terraces, air conditioning (please read description below to check in which rooms the units are installed) and WI-FI Internet access.

You will be in the center of Praiano, approximately 100 meters (330 feet) from restaurants, shops and the stop for the SITA bus and for the local bus. You will find the closest beach (Spiaggia della Gavitella) at roughly 600 meters (660 yards) including 400 stairway steps. You will reach Casa Placida from the street level going down a short walkway that cuts through a garden and includes approximately 30 stairway steps.

You will not need a car to stay at Casa Placida. If you do have one, you will be able to park it nearby, free of charge or for a fee, along the public roads (the actual distance might vary depending on the availability of parking spaces).

As soon as you enter the house you will be attracted by the panorama that will be in front of you. Even if you are inside the living room, looking through the glass door you will see only sea and sky. Leaning out, you will discover that you will have a 180-degree view of one of the most beautiful tracts of the Amalfi Coast for the length of your stay. In front of you there will be breathtaking view in its entirety: below you will see a stripe of white house of Praiano, each one surrounded by the green of its own garden, which is roughly interrupted by the blue sea.

The Torre di Grado watchtower and the majolica dome of the Church of Saint Gennaro stand among the houses. On your right, your sight will embrace a wide view of the coast which surrounds the characteristic village of Positano, and will reach Punta Campanella and the island of Capri. The famous Faraglioni of Capri can be seen at the horizon, and, closer, you can admire the small islands of Li Galli.

From Casa Placida you will reach the sea by bus or on foot, with a long stroll to the beach called "Praia", which is at approximately a mile. Or you can travel along a long stairway (approximately 400 steps) that will take you to a charming small beach called Gavitella. Facilities and restaurants operate on the beaches in the summer time.
