Casa San Luca

Casa San Luca - Description

The village of Praiano is quieter than other towns on the Amalfi Coast and great for people who like to stay away from the main touristy areas but have easy access to them.
Casa San Luca is located in the upper part of Praiano. From the piazza you have to climb a 100 steps staircase, but when you walk in through the door the tiled terrace stretches out in front of you to the bay. It is huge and the views are stunning.
In a shadowed part of the terrace there is a large wooden table with chairs where you can have your meals under the stars looking over the bay.
The interior of the unit has a living room with a divan bed, a double bedroom, a well-equipped kitchen with electric oven and washing machine and a bath with a stand up shower.
Just a few minutes walk from the apartment down the staircase, there are three shops, a grocery, butcher and hardware store that can provide all your day-to day needs.
It is very close to transportation - orange bus is at the bottom of the steps with frequent runs to Positano and the Praiano beach. A little further down the hill (5 minute walk) is the blue SITA bus stop to Amalfi and other points. The schedules are posted at the stops so it makes it easy to plan your trips. The SITA tickets need to be bought in advance at a store basically at the stop, but the yellow bus tickets can be bought on the bus.
Casa San Luca is also a perfect starting point for those who are fond of trekking.
