Locanda Costa Diva - Hotel at 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

Family-run Locanda Costa Diva offers 14 double rooms, 4 superior rooms and 2 junior suites. Standard furnishing includes air conditioning, mini bar, SAT-TV, telephone, WiFi and hair dryer as well as an en suite bathroom with either shower or bathtub with hydromassage system and WC/bidet.

The rooms we have chosen for your stay at this elegant hotel on the Amalfi Coast have got a terrace “a picco sul mare”, where you feel like being enveloped by the blue of the sea.

Relax, set your mind free in the Mediterranean splendor of and around the 7,000 m² lemon grove, which is open to the guests. From the hotel a wonderful 400 m walk runs along the coast to the picturesque fishing village of Marina di Praia with its small sandy beach bay.

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

Culinary treats at the hotel's restaurant

There is hardly a way around 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. When the day fades away and the place is bathed in the evening's lighting, the atmosphere is of a very special kind. 

The highlights of the Amalfi Coast within reach

If you want to explore the cultural sights of the Amalfi Coast and its surroundings, you will find the location of sun-kissed Praiano between Positano and Amalfi to be very convenient.

Apart from visiting the world-famous highlights Amalfi, Capri, Pompeii, Ravello and Sorrento, having a look around off the beaten tourist tracks is also worth your while. In the alleys and the squares of Praiano and of neighboring 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 and setting in numerous motion pictures. Roberto Rossellini, for example, chose this wild-romantic location for two films starring Anna Magnani. Grotta dello Smeraldo, a sea grotto near Conca dei Marini, fascinates you with spectacular stalagmite formations.

Very well signposted hiking trails are sure to appeal to active vacationers. From Praiano, for example, a connecting trail leads to one of the most beautiful high altitude trails of the Amalfi Coast, to "Sentiero degli Dei", the Path of Gods.

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