Sea & Steeple Praiano, Campania

Property Description

With absolutely breathtaking views of the Amalfi coast, this home will give you the feeling of being perched high above the world where time is only a construct and the days bend to your will. Let your eyes roam the steeple of the famous church of San Gennaro, tracking the horizon over parts of Capri and Positano as you sit back on the balcony with a glass of Aglianico.

Take your time familiarising yourself with the stone arches and traditional terracotta tiles of the home as you feel them between toes and fingertips. With various sets of doors leading out onto the balcony – our favourite being the exit from the kitchen where you can breathe in seasalt air as you put an antipasto platter together – you’ll find the space amply lit and fresh. Dine together at the table that’s ideally located right next to the window – it acts a little like a looking glass, because of the view you can spy through it.

Spend lazy days taking the steps down to the rocky, One Fire Beach or sitting in a bar nearby. Visit the boutiques in the narrow alleys of Positano and admire the buildings as they’re cast in golden sunlight. Sample authentic cuisine from the many restaurants and when you return home, put your feet up for some well deserved R&R.
