A beautiful property. Perched above the charming town of Praiano, this may be the highest house in town. The view is absolutely spectacular! Be aware there is a small price to pay for that amazing view. It is roughly 300 steps from the road below. (Not recommended for anyone with mobility issues). All of Praiano, and any town on the Amalfi Coast is a maze of stairs and alley ways, so navigating and getting anywhere can be a bit of a challenge without GPS or a good sense of direction. All of that aside, the home and grounds were beautiful and extremely well maintained. Rose bushes, lemon trees, flowers and a small vegetable garden were found on the three tiered land of the property. There is a large first floor patio with lounge chairs, dining table, large umbrellas for shade, a charcoal grill, and an outdoor fireplace. This was the perfect spot for relaxing and taking in the coastal view and happenings within the town below. On the second floor there was another patio connecting the two bedrooms with chairs. The interior of the home was immaculate. The first floor consists of a living room with fireplace and TV, dining room with seating for six, a fully stocked kitchen with all necessary appliances and utensils and a first floor bathroom with adjoining laundry. The second floor housed the two bedrooms, one with a queen and one with two twin beds and the second bathroom. You will find air conditioner units in both bedrooms as well as the living room. We booked with Maria, who kept us informed from prebooking to checkout and was available for any questions. On arrival, we met with Antonio who speaks both English and Italian and was extremely kind and helpful, offering to carry up our luggage and find us parking for our vehicle. He explained a few details about the property and recomended ways to get around town as well as places to eat and shop, leaving his phone number should we have any needs or questions.. Upon checkout, we called Antonio and were met at the door to return the keys and for him to assist again with our luggage. His lovely mother who I believe cleans the property also greeted us with a smile and a few pastries as we passed on the stairs down to the road. Very kind.

We had a lovely stay in Casa Silvia. We had everything we needed. The stairs were hard, but we got used to them. The views make up for the 300 steps up, plus the bonus is that you get fitter. Not recommended for anyone who isn't fit enough to climb the stairs, but otherwise, wonderful. ”

“Fantastic spot! One of the best Villasamalficoast places I have ever stayed in. Communication was great before and during our stay and the hosts were very helpful. The house was nice and clean, but the views.... This is basically the highest house in Praiano, which overlooks the peninsula all the way from Positano to Capri - STUNNING. The terrace may have one of the the best in-town vistas on the whole Amalfi Coast. But a big warning: if anyone in your party has mobility problems, I would not recommend it; going to and from the center of town involves hundreds of stairs, many which are quite steep. But if you are up for a daily climb or two, I'm not sure there is a better spot!”

The views from Silvia House are absolutely stunning and exceeded our expectations. The house was clean and spacious, there were beautiful flowers in the planters and on the grounds and there were also many lemon trees. Maria and the house manager, Angelo, met us, saved a parking space for us and helped us bring our suitcases up to the house. The 300 stairs were difficult to climb, but Angelo carried three of our five small suitcases up with no problem. Maria gave us great tips on how to get around Praiano and to Positano and Capri, where to eat, how to get groceries delivered, etc. The house is a little over 700 steps up from the town of Praiano (it's the highest house) but the views are worth it! We were with our three kids (6, 8 and 11) and they were better than me going up and down those stairs. The wifi was very spotty but we were okay with that because with those beautiful views, there is no reason to be in your electronic devices. Angelo also met us when we left and helped us carry our suitcases down. I would highly recommend Silvia House. ”
