Villa il Frantoio is a treasure in Praiano on the Amalfi Coast. The Villa has fantastic views, nice rooms, and excellent staff and service. Before we got there, we were in communication with Cristina who made sure we were getting to the Villa in an efficient manner and to exactly where we needed to be. Because it is not an easy villa to reach as it is in among the hillside residences.
Check-in went very easy with Cristina, and our room did not disappoint. We had a large room with a Queen bed, little dining area, and a large bathroom. The larger bathroom with a shower and tub was nice compared to many of the smaller Italian hotels we stayed in. We also had a nice outdoor area outside our room with 2 lounge chairs. And of course the beautiful views of the Amalfi coast and ocean. That is a 10+ in itself.
Each morning, we came down to the breakfast eating area. Where Giacomo and a few others customized breakfast orders of eggs, bacon, omelets', and coffee to your preference. There were also pastries, fruit, meats and cheeses also out. They did such a great job in a friendly manner and made you feel super appreciated.
There is also a very nice pool on the hillside with plenty of lounge chairs. And also drinks by poolside that you can have for a very affordable price.
There are only 6-7 rooms here (sorry I forgot the exact room), so it is real quiet and feels nice to be out of the business of Amalfi and Positano. Though both are close by. Definite 5 stars!
