Hotel Villa Bellavista

Praiano


Amid lush gardens that include a vast vegetable plot, this Praiano hotel has an old-fashioned charm with slightly stuffy furniture in the public areas and large, cool, but fairly bare rooms. Its appeal lies in the fabulous views from the spacious, flower-festooned terrace; the delightful pool, surrounded by greenery; and the tranquil setting.

Located on a narrow lane that leads to the Spiaggia della Gavitelli, the (signposted) hotel is accessed via Via Rezzolo, which runs parallel to the SS163 coast road.
