Villa il Frantoio and Lilmar

Absolutely loved this villa/hotel. Was in a good spot close to restaurants and the beach and had a very homely feel. Will definitely stay here again when we return!

Spectacular views and wonderful location. Hotel service was wonderful and relaxed. Breakfast was delicious and fresh. The pool has views out that you don’t believe are real. 207 steps to the town, so take some good trainers. The location of Praiano is perfect as it on the door step to all the major Amalfi towns & path of the Gods, without the busy rush

This is the highest rated B&b in the area we looked forward to it. Getting bags to the hotel is difficult. There is no parking within a quarter of a mile so you drop bags off then park. Finding the hotel if you haven't been before is difficult and negotiating steps with bags not for the faint hearted. Other reviewers have talked about 200 steps down to the main road. This is not the hotels fault - but you need to be fit. We arrived and were warmly greeted and given extensive information by the manager. Unfortunately he gave us out of date information on bus services so one night we waited an hour for a bus - before phoning him and being told what to do. He did offer to come and wait for us. The room was spacious - with a nice balcony. The small pool area was nice and quiet although our sun beds were in need of attention - some material was ripped. The lovely small dog that lives there also left his calling card ( mess) in various places. But the biggest disappointment was the breakfast which I have to say was one of the lowest quality I have ever had. It's a cold buffet with only a few items under cover - meaning most of the food is open for the plague of flies to 'enjoy'. The small amount of 'fresh' fruit had discoloured. The extensive bread - croissants etc - felt stale / uninteresting. None was appealing. Fellow guests we talked to were equally disappointed. The majority of food was left on each of the three days we were there - unsurprisingly.
