This beautiful 5 ensuite Bedrooms Villa, located in the heart of Praiano with direct access to the beach, is set on two floors. It was built gracefully into the cliffs above the sea, with multiple balconies and terraces, a lovely alfresco dining area, and an open-air plunge pool gazing out at the vast horizon. The interiors are comfortable and elegant, with stylish furnishings, high-end media features, and a gourmet kitchen. Each bedroom set on the lower floor has been designed to offer guests sublime comfort and exceptional quality with first class bed linen and far-reaching views across the sea. All five bedrooms contain fitted wardrobes and have individual access to the breakfast patio. The Villa features an infinity small heated pool (acquarelax) 5 mt x 3,5 mt, a solarium with sundecks and a shower. The pool area is furnished with a styfish wooden floor.
The Villa is snuggled into the cliffside, directly above the main beach at Praiano, which offers an exclusive beach club, excellent restaurants and boat rentals. Praiano lies in the heart of the Amalfi Coastline and has always been a desirable destination of the elite; from the artistic days of the Grand Tour to illustrious visitors such as Escher, Jackie Kennedy and Pablo Neruda. The deep Furore fjord, with its network of steps and secret beach, is a poignant reminder of the days when fishermen would haul up their catch for the villagers.
Direct access to the beach is via another set of gorgeous steps down to the beach path. There is a handy bus stop if you fancy travelling along the fabled Amalfi Coast to either Positano or or Amalfi.

An infinity of little streets and steps line the terraced hillside where bright bougainvillea and scented geraniums lead the way to the sea through a maze of houses clinging to the rocks, majolica covered domes, and devotional shrines. Sunsets here, for the unusual morphology of the territory, are among the most suggestive and romantic of the coast.
This is how Praiano, Plagianum in antiquity, presents itself. Set marvelously, gem like in a scenario of endless beauty in one of the points of the Amalfi Coast where our gaze and our soul are spirited away by the superb magnificence of nature in a class by itself: the Positano Bay. The bay stretches away from the Sorrento peninsula toward the sea up to Punta Campanella and in the background, the Homeric mermaids of the little “Li Galli” islands and the beautiful island of Capri.
A place to retire for Roman nobility and the Doges of the ancient Amalfi Republic, Praiano has always attracted the élite, for discreet and relaxed moments of vacation, because it offers a more quiet and “authentic atmosphere than your noisy neighbors” – in the words of the Times On Line; far, then, from the usual tourist flows. With its privileged panoramic position on the Amalfi Coast, Villa Ferida is an ideal starting point for excursions to other neighboring towns on the coast.
Praiano has jealously preserved its most authentic soul, revealing it slowly to the visitor, with picturesque views of the highest impact. Take the marina di Praia, for example, a fjord inlet between two high cliffs that is reachable by land or by sea. During the day it is a fresh and vibrant typical fishing village, with a lido and a scuba diving center, while at night it reveals its worldly soul with trendy restaurants for the enjoyment of a candle lit dinner of excellent fresh fish, all the while lulled by the harmonious sound of the waves crashing on the shore. At the Navy guard on the tip of the promontory, stands the medieval “Torre a Mare”, currently functioning as an artist’s studio and venue for exhibitions during the summer.
Continuing along the coast and accessible only by sea, we find the beautiful Cala della Gavitella, with the Grado Tower built during the Spanish viceroyalty, and Gavitella’s picturesque beach, the only beach on the Amalfi Coast kissed by the sun until sunset. And finally, a myriad of little streets and steps that the industriousness and ingenuity of man have “carved” from the rock to provide access to the sea by way of a gently sloping path, proceeding along the terraced land through the Mediterranean sagebrush, tasting the intimate pleasure of contact with nature, genuine, authentic and sincere....
