Nestled into the hillside with far-reaching sea views, it’s not hard to see why this villa in Praiano caught our eye. Sure, its traditional style may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s a perfect base for families on an Italian stay. One bedroom is situated on the mezzanine level and has a king-size and single bed, so while it lacks a little privacy, it’s ideal for a couple with a child. Elsewhere, there’s plenty of space to spread out here, and the cherry on the cake for us is the outdoor space. Sun-kissed terraces, alfresco dining spots and a private pool, what better way to relax?

Home truths:
*While not all bedrooms and bathrooms are photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing children, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*The bedroom with the king size and single bed is on the mezzanine level and semi-open to the space below, so privacy is limited.
*Single beds may be pushed together in some rooms to form a double.
*We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. On-site parking is available here.
