Casa Michara – Romantic Hideaway with Garden & Sea Views
Sunset dinners, starry skies, and timeless Amalfi charm in the heart of Praiano.
Step into the soul of the Amalfi Coast at Casa Michara, a beautifully preserved 17th-century villa nestled in the vibrant center of Praiano. Perfectly located just a short walk from the Main Church of San Gennaro, charming restaurants, cafes, and bus stops No. 6 and 7, this elegant home offers a seamless blend of historic charm and modern convenience.
