Villa Imperati - Splendid villa with private pool overlooking the sea

Villa Imperati is an exclusive luxury villa located in the most panoramic and peaceful area of Praiano, featuring a private sea-front swimming pool, a large terraced garden, and stunning open views over the Amalfi Coast. The property is designed for guests seeking generous spaces, privacy, and high-level comfort, experiencing the villa as a true Mediterranean retreat immersed in light and scenery.



The villa is set in a private area of the village and cannot be reached directly by car. Access is only on foot, via a scenic path of approximately 400 meters with about 100 steps, typical of Praiano’s layout. This requires some physical effort but guarantees silence, no traffic, and a strong sense of exclusivity, while remaining close to main services and points of interest.



ACCOMMODATION FEATURES

The villa is arranged over two levels and offers 150 sqm of interior space, ideal for families or groups:



Ground Floor



•Large garden with private outdoor sea-view swimming pool (open seasonally from April 15 to October 19)



•Outdoor shower, sun loungers, and barbecue area



•Living room with dining table, sofa, and armchairs, with direct access to the garden



•Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher



•2 bedrooms (1 double + 1 single with extra bed option, ideal for children/teens), both with access to the garden



•2 bathrooms with shower



First Floor



•1 double bedroom with private terrace and sea view



•1 bathroom with Jacuzzi bathtub and sea view



The interiors are bright, harmonious, and designed to ensure comfort throughout the stay.



LOCATION AND POINTS OF INTEREST

Villa Imperati is ideally located for guests looking for a quiet and panoramic base to explore the Amalfi Coast:



•Path of the Gods – direct access from the pedestrian path above the villa



•Main beaches (Marina di Praia and Gavitella) reachable via scenic walks or local transport



•Bars, restaurants, shops, and bus stops within a few minutes’ walk downhill



•Shuttle and bus connections to Positano, Amalfi, and other coastal destinations



Note: All services and points of interest are reached by going up or down steps, in line with the typical urban layout of Praiano. This is part of the authentic local experience but makes the property more suitable for guests accustomed to walking.



ACCESS AND PARKING

Villa Imperati is located in a pedestrian-only area and cannot be reached directly by car. Access is exclusively on foot via a scenic path of approximately 300 meters with about 100 steps. For this reason, the villa is not recommended for guests with mobility issues or those who do not enjoy walking and climbing stairs.

Upon request, a paid porter service can be arranged to assist with luggage.



•Private paid parking available on request at approximately 650 meters (advance booking strongly recommended, especially in high season).



•Public paid parking available at approximately 200 meters, not reservable and often crowded in high season due to limited availability.



GETTING AROUND

Thanks to its strategic location, Villa Imperati allows guests to explore the Amalfi Coast easily even without a car.



•Boat excursions from Praiano (Marina di Praia – approx. 1 km): the most scenic and relaxing way to reach Capri, Positano, Amalfi, and sea-access-only coves.



•Public buses (SITA and Local Bus – stop approx. 200 m): practical and economical, but often crowded and slower in high season.



•Private driver: offers flexibility and comfort; advance booking of at least one day is recommended.



•On foot: the most authentic way to experience Praiano, involving steps and elevation changes.



•Scooter rental: greater independence, recommended only for experienced riders on narrow and busy coastal roads.

Wonderful Stay!

My family of five had a wonderful stay @ Villa Imperati. It was a perfect place for us to come back to and relax by the pool after venturing out all over the Amalfi coast. The views are breathtaking and there are so many great restaurants right near the villa - the location is great. Francesco was very attentive and helped us navigate our stay here and helped with arranging day trips and transportation which made our stay - stress free. 😊

Great stay in Praiano

Francesco was a great host. He was very responsive, and very helpful when it came to local recommendations and services. Check in was easy and the place was very clean with a great layout for a family. The kids loved the pool. Overall it was a great stay. One thing worth noting, it does take a little work to get to the closest store so bring your sneakers.we would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay in Praiano

we loved our villa. Praiano is a gem. The management team was super helpful. The villa was spotless and the pool was refreshing. Only area is the airconditioning the master does not cool that room. I would add supplemental air or add some fans.

Best View and Nice Property even though finding the place and a lot of steps.

Dear Hangcheng, so happy to read that you appreciated the beauty of our accommodation. The steps and the stairs are the weak point and the strong point of our beloved Amalfi Coast: they allow you to reach breathtaking views. For this reason we indicate them in the details in the descriptions of our accommodations. We really look forward to host you again! Anna - SMAAC Amalfi Coast Team

Nice quiet stay with view of Positano

The property manager was great at always answering all our questions. Glad we used the Porter service for the stairs as it can be quite difficult if not. Overall great nice place with shops and bars close by. Just be prepared to make the trek down stairs and back up which can be quite difficult for older folks or those not in decent shape. Great communication!

Paradise in Praiano

We loved every second of our stay at this property. We had two adults and 4 kids who were able to spread out and have our own space while also enjoying all the wonderful gathering spaces (like that beautiful pool!). The views of the coast were breathtaking. And whatever you need on or off the property, Francesco and his management company were extremely attentive. They helped us with restaurant recommendations, boat excursions, transportation to different activities, anything we could think of! They were so kind and helpful. This was a very special property and we hope someday to return to experience all the Amalfi Coast magic.

Praiano

Overall a great stay and good value for the price. As mentioned there is a lot of stairs but that is to be expected in this region. We had a hiccup with the pool but the manager was great and worked with us on that. He was very helpful and quick to respond with anything we needed. The house seemed to have all the essentials, the only thing I thought was missing is a espresso machine. We ate out all the time but that would have been nice for the mornings.

We had a wonderful time at Villa Imperati!

We loved the views, the beautiful architecture of the villa, the art work on the path ways, the people in the town of Praiano. Che Bonta, the cooking class down the street at Il Rifugio Dei Peccatori, the Kasai Restaurant, etc… The Villa was somewhat difficult to get to but worth the walk and climb. Transportation to get anywhere is not overly easy, there is a walk&#47climb (paths and stairways) about half a mile to down to town and up to the villaacross to a street to meet cars. Requires luggage porting and drivers to get to most destinations, shoppingrestaurants. But it is a good work out and kick start to bring healthy work out when your vacation is over! :)

Excellent Stay, Charming Location

The house and the property manager were excellent and helped us tremendously throughout our stay. It was nice to stay there and not in Positano, as Positano is extremely crowded. The little town in Praiano is very cute and has everything but the steps are treacherous to get back to the houseto get down to the main street.

Great Villa with stunning views of Positano

This house is beautiful and was a very nice place to stay in the heart of Amalfi. The access to the house requires a 5 minute walk with many stairs so definitely keep this in mind and try to arrange a porter to take your luggage if you have a lot to carry.

Amazing!

Lovely villa in a fantastic location, the view over the sea and across to Positano is stunning. Pool is large enough to enjoy a few cool lengths and plenty of room within the grounds for sunbathing. Local restaurants were great, try our favourites, La Dolce Vista and Voce e Notte, we ate here on several occasions. Steps leading up can be a bit of a surprise at first but don’t let this put you off, watch how the locals manage these, slow and steady, I took their lead and had no problem. This villa is well worth a few steps, has everything you need and we all had a great time here.

Absolutely breathtaking views of Capri and Positano from the top of the villa. Pool wonderful in the heat. Trip of a lifetime. Norman was fantastic in his communication and helped book loads of restaurants and a trip to Capri - expensive but definitely worth it. Thank you Norman! Porter strongly recommended for taking heavy luggage upto the property. Download the video or have internet so you know how to reach the villa - the streets are a bit of a maze. 5 stars. Grazie mille! Ben

Beautiful home!

The pictures don’t do this property justice! It’s beautiful and spotless. The views are incredible and the pool is perfect. Norman was a wonderful help—did an amazing job food shopping for us and talked us in when we got a little turned around at check in. Just know there are about 220 steps down to the Main Street, bust stop etc. it’s pretty steep and significant—granted all of the coast is this way. Get the porter at check-in. It’s just worth it. The home is lovely and Praiano is a delightful escape from the craziness, although a quick bus ride to everywhere.

Amazing Views

I stayed here four nights in March for spring break with family. The views and loaction were phenomenal. The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is that the supplies in the villa were extremely limited. There were five towels, but you can have more for an additional fee. Two dish towels, no pot holders for metal pans (handles become very hot). Zero Tupperware. Washer, but no dryer. And...the yard was extremely overgrown and should have been mowed. It was a great week, but limited kitchen tools to say the least.
