Villa Elvira is part of the historical center of Praiano, which consists of a cluster of white houses on the highest area of a steep slope of a hill overlooking the sea. The houses are nestled around the beautiful bell-tower and the eighteenth-century church of San Luca.


In this area of Praiano, almost all the houses date back to the eighteenth century. They feature white facades often decorated with stuccoes, patios below masonry arches sustaining terraces facing the sea, and sloping gardens filled with flowers and citrus trees around. Walking through such extraordinary village, declared World Heritage site by UNESCO, means climbing narrow stairways and pedestrian streets. The whole area is made for pedestrians, except for the only access street to the main square. Here you will no find streets packed with tourists; all you will see are the kind inhabitants of the place. And you will be able to experience the fascination and authentic beauty of the Amalfi Coast: one not changed by the actions of tourism!


Villa Elvira is a few steps away from the main square, and it also features a private garage at the end of the pedestrian area. In order to arrive at the villa from the garage area, all you have to do is ascend a short 38-step staircase. The main square is a large terrace overlooking the coastal scenery.


Villa Elvira boasts the fascination of old Mediterranean houses built respecting the slopes of steep rocky lands. Both the house and the garden are distributed on three floors, and each level of the house can be reached both from the garden and from an indoor staircase.


On the highest area of the garden you will find the swimming-pool. The pool is surrounded by a terrace where you can sunbathe and enjoy a beautiful view of the sea and the coast.


During your stay at Villa Elvira, you will be close to one of the most typical beaches of the Amalfi Coast, the beach of Praia. The beach spreads from the base of a narrow gorge enclosed by high rocky walls deeply incised by erosion. To reach the beach you can take the local bus which stops about 20 meters (approximately 66 feet) away from the villa.


However, don’t miss the chance of going to beach on foot at least once if you are in good shape: you can descend from the villa until the State Road through shortcuts consisting of stairways. Once you have crossed the State Road, you will have to go along a picturesque pedestrian foot path goes past the medieval Tower and descends towards the sea through a trail dug along the rocks. The breathtaking scenery will compensate the workout to go along the way. Rendering the walk even more pleasant, once you have arrived at the beach, are the small bars and restaurants which feature tables on rocks caressed by the waters of the sea…

Villa Elvira has all you need for a special stay in Praiano
Villa Elvira has all you need for a special stay in Praiano. It is centrally located, has spectacular views, spacious living areas and bedrooms, close to transport, supermarkets and restaurants. The owners and support staff are always close by to assist with any issues. The pool is also spectacular and well maintained. I've had dealings with Luca and his team over a 4 year period. Their service is faultless and I would definitely use them again when travelling to Italy -- many sincere thanks

Summer In Italy hooked us up for Villa Elvira
Summer In Italy hooked us up for Villa Elvira. The villa was outstanding. The views from the villa drew everyone to the terrace every morning and evening while we were there. It became the family gathering place. The bedrooms were very nice, each having its own bath. The kitchen served us well on morning coffee and breakfast and days where we stayed at the villa enjoying the pool and the views. The location was the best. The villa is between Amalfi and Positano with easy access to both, but in a smaller town away from large groups of tourists. Awesome experience. Summer In Italy was the only way to book a villa. Klint from Summer In Italy provided exceptional service and assistance. They helped with all arrangements and provided information on Italy that really helped. I loved their responsiveness and help from finding a villa to the final days of our stay. They are great and we will use them again on our future trips to Italy.

Villa Elvira was comfortable, spacious and very accommodating
Villa Elvira was comfortable, spacious and very accommodating. We usually would have an adventure in the morning until early afternoon, then meet back at the villa to relax around the pool. There are stairs to climb. Summer In Italy are good booking agents. They are caring, flexible and I would not hesitate to do business with them again.

Our family of 7 just spent a fabulous week at this villa and everything was perfect
Our family of 7 just spent a fabulous week at this villa and everything was perfect. The villa is pristine and clean and very well kept. Summer In Italy was a great resource to have. We were very comfortable staying in a home instead of a hotel as Summer In Italy could answer any and every question we had concerning any excursions or sight seeing we wanted to book. Our favorite night was a fabulous meal prepared in the villa.
