We stayed at Villa Gianlica for our honeymoon, and it was a wonderful experience. The property is clean, well maintained, and has great views of the ocean. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and we really enjoyed the food during our stay. The location is also very convenient. There’s a taxi stand right outside the hotel at the top of the hill, and both the SITA bus stop and the local bus stop are just a short walk away, making it easy to explore the Amalfi Coast. There are also several great restaurants within walking distance, which was a huge plus.

Overall, we had an amazing stay and would absolutely recommend Villa Gianlica to anyone visiting the area. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

Wow where do I begin… this was the first hotel of our honeymoon and we never wanted to leave!! One of the best hotels we ever stayed at. The room was secluded, with a balcony and view of the ocean. You can hear chickens and roosters in the mornings which was a unique touch. The property is amazingly well kept. The pool area especially was amazing and so relaxing with the view of the ocean. The breakfast was awesome and the waiter was so so nice and calm, very attentive. Their staff is amazing and helpful. Cleaning service also was awesome, they made your room spotless each day. The cleanliness of the property was impeccable. The experience was unforgettable. The most relaxing place we could have ever gone to for our honeymoon. For couples this place is a haven and perfect escape!

This is one of the most amazing places we have ever stayed, the rooms and facilities are well kept, very clean, and down right stunning! The view from thr room as well as from the entire property is just breathtaking! The staff are all super friendly, helpful, and determined to make your stay one of a kind. The food and beverage for both breakfast and lunch are incredible and the fact that they source as much as possible from their very own garden and other local sources really impressed me. If you are thinking of staying here, stop thinking and book now. We absolutely cannot wait to return for another stay!

Amazing stay in Villa Gianlica !
The hotel is scrupulously clean and so quiet and peaceful. Our room was completely on its own with an amazing terrace overlooking the sea. Everywhere else around is so busy so the hotel is absolutely perfect to relax in.
All the staff were so helpful, you feel that they are your friends.
We had a problem with our car to the airport not turning up and Marika spent nearly 1.5 hours trying to get us a car to catch our flight, if it had not been for her we would have missed our flight.
We will return here very soon for another stay.

We loved our stay at Villa Gianlica. High praise to the team who were exceptional hosts. Marika was so attentive, helpful and always keen to recommend places to visit and eat. Tomaso was the most kind and gentle man, very chatty and makes excellent coffee. Both were a real pleasure to meet. We felt very well looked after.

The hotel was clean and our room was spacious. The views overlooking the sea from the hotel were second to none.

They also have a garden where they grow their own produce which was available to eat at breakfast. The tomatoes and homemade fig jam were our particular favourites! Eggs were also available on request such as omelettes, fried eggs, scrambled etc. All delicious and set us up for the day!

The hotel is in a great location, with a bus stop just outside. The walk to the marina is only 15 minutes.

Also, a good choice of restaurants nearby which was ideal as well.

We would highly recommend this hotel and look forward to coming back for a visit soon!

From the moment we arrived at Hotel Villa Gianlica, we knew we were in for a treat. Tucked away in a picturesque location, this charming hotel exceeded all our expectations, but what truly made our stay unforgettable was the incredible staff, particularly a gem named Marika.

Upon check-in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a refreshing drink that set the tone for our stay. Cute villa in Praiano that’s nears everything. However, it was Marika who truly made our experience exceptional. Her warmth and genuine desire to ensure our comfort were evident from the start.

Marika went above and beyond to cater to our every need. She took the time to listen to our preferences and made thoughtful recommendations for local attractions, dining options, and hidden gems that we would have otherwise overlooked. Whether it was arranging transportation, providing insider tips, taking care of my grandma, Marika handled everything with grace and enthusiasm. It felt like we were being cared for by a dear friend rather than just a staff member.

The villa itself was beautiful. Our room was spacious, and impeccably clean. The breathtaking views from our balcony were the perfect backdrop for morning coffee and evening sunsets. Every member of the staff at Hotel Villa Gianlica shared Marika's commitment to excellence.
In conclusion, our stay at Hotel Villa Gianlica was nothing short of magical. Thank you to Marika and the whole team! We will definitely come back!

There was nothing to welcome us in the room such as bottle of water or whatever etc .

Best hotel ever

We have been on a 3 week trip through Italy and this hotel by far has been the BEST! Marika at the hotel communicated with me via email before the trip helping me plan things to do for 10 of our friends. The hotel is the most beautiful property I’ve ever seen. The lunch they served when we arrived was amazing!!! We would definitely go back. Praiano is quiet but it is easy to travel to other cities. Best restaurant was In Pirato incredible views and delicious food!

Easy location form the SITA bus stop. We underestimated the logistics of getting around Amalfi area, but very convenient close to the local bus and the larger bus to get to further away destinations. Hotel was also super helpful booking a last minute excursion to Capri. And breakfast in the garden was just so peaceful overlooking the water. Beautifully maintained, quiet hotel . We loved our stay

The hotel is beautiful and the staff were amazing. Very helpful with all inquiries. They organise transfers if you require them, dinner reservations and will assist you with whatever you need. Couldn't rate this place any higher. It is absolutely beautiful. If you know how to ride a bike i would recommend hiring a scooter as it makes it a lot easier to travel around the Amalfi Coast and there is parking right outside the hotel. The buses can get extremely packed and at times you may not fit on. Do your self a favour and stay at this hotel.

A Boutique hotel with less than a dozen rooms, personal service and very attentive staff. The room has its own terrace, with well kept grass, with the spectacular view of the Amalfi Coast and the Salerno bay. The room had its own jacuzzi, and three levels below, there is another jacuzzi. A level below from the room, a beautiful pool: all with the amazing Amalfi views. The same for the breakfast area: full breakfast with breathtaking view. The Hotel helps you book table at any of the three restaurants just minutes walk from the Hotel. A bar is just across the street. Pre-order parking if you come with your car. Located in the higher park of Praiano, the bus stops at the hotel and takes you straight to Positano. Great value for money given the service, view, location.

Just beautiful!! The decor was clean white & bright. The view was spectacular with your own private small yard/balcony to enjoy. The property is big and a lovely area of discovery. The back area is tiered with a lemon grove that offers shade to relax & read. The next tier is a tranquil pool area and chaise lounges. Below that a beautiful garden. The hotel offers breakfast daily where you’ll meet Tomas the MOST wonderful host. The team uses most of its ingredients straight from their fabulous garden. We utterly enjoyed ourselves and will be back.

Amazing boutique hotel in Praiano

Excellent place to stay in Praiano/Amalfi region
Breakfast was amazing & it changed daily
We had the Superior room with large tub & largest patio overlooking the sea
Bus stop steps away
Local stores in walking distance
Lots of steps to get around which is par for anywhere in Amalfi region
Staff was very helpful
Room was large & very clean( cleaned every day)
If you like more than 2 pillows I suggest you ask them when you check in
Pool & gardens are very nice & well maintained
Highly recommend Kasai for dinner up the hill & easy walking distance
Cafe Mirante in town for cool drinks (bar was a little hard to find)
Franchino’s in town on the sea had amazing views, wine & food & highly recommend
Positano has great views & lots of shopping but beware of taking the buses in town & around due to overcrowding (you may get pushed around & will have to stand the whole way there)-you can buy tickets at local store near the hotel
Small beach in town is in walking distance & is very quaint & has some good places to eat there
Overall boutique hotel was amazing & a great find
We would stay there again for sure

I loved staying here. As a solo traveler it was a very friendly quiet experience. I loved the room, the balcony, grass & trees! The fresh breakfast was so special with produce from their garden. The bus to Positano & other connections stopped across from the hotel. It is a very neighborhood feeling but very private, too. Having a lemoncello spritz before the bar closed at 8 was a special nightcap. Ciao the best to your special place!

Where do I start… this little hotel is absolutely fabulous the views the place itself is pure beauty. The gardens are maintained by god himself the pool is spotless not a single fly in the pool or anything. The service is out of this world basically anything you need. The lunch that they make on the spot is by far the best I had in the Amalfi coast. If you like seafood their seafood pasta is second to none more seafood then pasta!!!! Unreal!!! for only like 14 euros!!!!! And the view that you have during your lunch is breathtaking the only reason you have to leave the hotel is dinner because they don’t serve dinner but not to worry because couple of steps away there is a nice restaurant. For me it’s a must come back. Oh and the rooms you might guess by now are very clean and like new. Greetings from Poland

We had the most amazing 11 night stay at Villa Gianlica! As soon as we were taken to the most beautiful room with the most amazing views I knew we would love it! We had our own little garden blacony with deck chairs overlooking the ocean! Every morning I would wake up and watch the sun rise which was stunning. Breakfast was amazing! So much choice and super yummy! The hotel staff were so helpful from start to end. Rooms were kept clean and made up everyday with fresh towels and linen ( the lady who did the rooms worked so hard to keep it all so nice for everyone!) The pool area is fabulous! Had my morning swim and relaxed there most days - it was far to nice to leave and since the sun was always on us through the day there wasn't any need to be anywhere else! Drinks were brought to your sun beds by the pool which were so comfy! I also loved loved loved the brushetta they served at lunch! We came here to relax and that's exactly what we got to do! So quiet and peaceful! Will be back! Positano is very close and we took the bus right outside the hotel but it is very busy so was happy to get back to Praiano! There is also a local shop Marino Tutto per tutti were you can buy drinks and snacks! Awesome shop and the owner is so lovely! Absolutely amazing stay!!

We loved the breakfast and lunch services and the views were amazing.

There was only one problem with our room that we addressed with the staff: our bathroom light had some kind of short that caused it either to not turn on, or it behaved like a strobe light. They weren't able to fix it during our three day stay. But, the natural light from the window helped.

The staff, especially Ariana, was helpful in making reservations and booking taxis for us. Great food and drinks too! Hidden gem and a perfect place to unwind and recharge! It's a 15-20 minute hike down stairs to the local beach (which we didn't mind and actually enjoyed after all our eating) but if you have knee problems then probably not an ideal location.

Even better than the pictures

The hotel is as lovely as the pictures suggest. The breakfast is simple and delicious. The service is outstanding. We had a 3rd person and they were able to arrange a single bed (not a foldout or rollaway) but a proper single bed for the room for 35euro per night extra which we were very grateful for.
The pool area is lovely and the surrounds are quiet and pleasant.
The only slight complaint is the mattress on the bed is not amazing, bit hard and bumpy it could definitely use a mattress topper to add more comfort but overall an amazing experience and we would return.
