Travel Guide
Our Guide to the Amalfi Coast.
Just around the corner from Naples, this 43-mile stretch of indented, cliff-lined coastline is blessed with beauty of the soul-stirring variety. Here, dizzyingly steep mountains meet the glittering Mediterranean resulting in sheer sea cliffs, which serve as the improbable setting for picturesque seaside settlements. Casa Angelina is
located in Praiano, an authentic gem in the heart of the Amalfi Coast, about mid-way between the more heavily-visited towns of Positano and Amalfi. Use our hotel as your base and you'll have all the delights of the region, from romantic mountaintop Ravello to the winding hiking trails of the backcountry, within reach.

Praiano
PRAIANO
rich in history and art is mainly a place to take time out, to walk around, explore and wait for the sunset.
Sunrise & Sunset
Our home base, Praiano is a modest-sized, low-key fishing village where whitewashed buildings cling to the cliffs, about midway between the more tourist-heavy towns of Positano and Amalfi. Once a hub for silk production and a favored getaway for the medieval Amalfi dukes, Praiano is steeped in local history.
The village, which is built into the rocky sea cliffs, promises privileged panoramas of the coast, sun-soaked pebbled beaches, several excellent restaurants and an intriguing local arts scene, including open-air ceramic installations and stone sculptures that take inspiration from the town’s craft heritage. Oh, and it’s also home to what is probably Amalfi’s most famous nightclub: L’Africana, which is squirrelled away in a converted grotto down by the sea.
