Locanda Costa Diva - Hotel in Praiano

A patch of land of captivating beauty

Italy’s poetry loves to revel in mystic colors whenever describing the natural and man-made beauties of the Amalfi Coast. Our senses, too, are overwhelmed at the sight of the enchanting coastal landscape around Locanda Costa Diva in Praiano.

The restored 18th century country estate, an “antica casa colonica”, lies embedded in a lemon grove, which slopes in terraces down towards the sea.

Sun-kissed hotel at Praiano

The rooms we have chosen for you at this elegant Amalfi hotel have got a terrace “a picco sul mare”, where you are overcome by the feeling of 'diving into' the blue of the sea.

Relax and set your mind free in the Mediterranean splendor of and around the 7,000 sqm lemon grove, which is at the disposal of the guests. A wonderful 400 m walk runs from the hotel along the coast to the picturesque fishing village of Marina di Praia with its small sandy beach bay.

Family-run Locanda Costa Diva offers 14 double rooms, 4 superior rooms and 2 junior suites. Standard furnishing of the rooms includes air conditioning, mini bar, satellite TV, telephone, WLAN and hair dryer. Your bathroom is equipped with either shower or bathtub with hydromassage system, bidet and WC.

From the hotel’s private parking area, which can be booked for a fee, there is a stair-lift for persons with mobility impairment to use in order to get to the reception and the restaurant of Locanda Costa Diva.

Culinary treats at the hotel's restaurant

There is hardly a way round Locanda Costa Diva’s restaurant. Its cuisine based on typically Amalfitan fish dishes, exquisite pasta and creamy desserts, e.g. Delizie di Limone, is simply too tempting.

You can have both breakfast and dinner either in the sheltered pergola area or on the lemon terrace with sea view. It is really special to let the day fade away in this ambience, when the place is bathed in the evening's lighting.

The highlights of the Amalfi Coast within reach

Conveniently located between Positano and Amalfi, the sunny town of Praiano is ideal for exploring the cultural sights of the Amalfi Coast and its surroundings.

Apart from the world-famous highlights of Amalfi, Capri, Pompeii, Ravello and Sorrento, it is worthwhile to leave and look around off the beaten tourist tracks.

In the alleys and the squares of Praiano and of the neighboring village of Vettica Maggiore you can take part in typical Italian village life.

Only a stone’s throw from Praiano, you find scenic beauties such as Fiordo del Furore, a natural harbor, which served as a setting for numerous motion pictures. Roberto Rosselini, for example, shot two films starring Anna Magnani at this wildly romantic location. Grotta dello Smeraldo – a sea grotto near Conca dei Marini – fascinates you with its spectacular stalagmite formations.

Very well signposted hiking trails leave nothing to be desired for active vacationers. From Praiano, for example, a connecting trail leads to one of the most beautiful high altitude trails of the Amalfi Coast, to the Trail of the Gods – the “Sentiero degli Dei”.

Nearest train station: Sorrento (ca. 25 km), then on by SITA-bus towards Amalfi.
