Luxury Hotels In Praiano

Praiano And Neighboring Furore

The relationship between accommodation and landscape matters here. Casa Angelina provides an example of a contemporary hotel on the coast, with its distinctive design contributing to the stay. Its Via Gennaro Capriglione address places the stay in Praiano. Furore Grand Hotel, also in this collection, stands on Via dell'Amore in neighboring Furore. Choose between a Praiano village base and Furore's elevated coastal setting with those separate localities in mind.

Look Inside San Luca For Praiano's Ceramic Heritage

San Luca Evangelista rewards travelers interested in the coast's decorative arts. Beneath its Baroque interior, the majolica floor dates from 1789: flowers and birds surround an image of Saint Luke painting. This gives a church visit a particular artistic subject, with the painted floor taking the lead. The three-nave layout and side chapels add architectural interest around it. A village walk centered on San Luca suits an interest in local craftsmanship as well as religious history.

Walk Higher For Santa Maria A Castro

The church of Santa Maria a Castro and adjoining San Domenico convent sit on the slopes of Monte Sant'Angelo a Tre Pizzi, above Vettica Maggiore. The outlook extends along the coast toward Positano, Li Galli and Capri. This is a hillside outing for travelers who want to connect Praiano's built heritage with its mountain setting.

The church also holds the Madonna delle Grazie fresco in the left nave, with Christ above the Virgin and Child among angels and saints. That painting gives art-minded walkers a reason for the climb beyond the coastal panorama. Allow the elevated church-and-convent setting its own place in the stay; beach time and a high village walk ask for different footwear and energy.
