I could not speak highly enough about our stay at Calante Luna. It was always a dream of mine to visit the Amalfi Coast and my stay here exceeded all my hearts imagination. Where to begin..
The town of Praino itself was beautiful.Picture perfect with one of the best little beaches on the coast. It has a lovely village feel, close enough to the liveliness and much bigger Positano but a lovely distance away also for those times when you want a little more calm and relax.It was so nice to really feel like you were living amongst the locals if only for a short time.
The Villa is to die for.It has everything you could need : kitchen facilities, washing facilities,great bathrooms, beautiful linen, super comfy beds, a gorgeous terrace and the views, oh the views - they are like being in a postcard.Coming home each day was a joy. There is also a communal spa which was lovely to relax in after a day of stair climbing and an amazing communal garden terrace under the lemon trees, amongst the vegie patch complete with loungers & hammocks. Did i mention Calante Luna was like a dream ?? !! I only wish we had stayed longer. There is so much to do and see on the Amalfi Coast that i felt we didnt have time to really enjoy all the villa had to offer !
The villa is situated not far from the centre of town with many restaurants & cafes and the beach.Our favourite restaurant was Che Bonta just down the road. The main bus stop is 300m down the hill where you can catch the sita bus in either direction towards Positano or Amalfi.
Last but not least to mention is our gorgeous host Elia. From the moment I booked until the day we left the villa, Elia took the best care of us. Always contactable, happy to offer advice or make reservations for us, Elia is a wonderful host.He even brought us little treats throughout our stay like fresh squeezed lemon juice, fruit smoothies, banana bread.He also has a beautiful dog Lou who my daughter fell in love with and Elia let take for walks.
What an amazing part of the world, We hope to return to many times and back to Elia's Calante Luna.Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for our stay Elia, we will cherish it forever.
