If you're staying in Praiano you should definitely stay at Hotel Smerlado! The rooms are stunning with amazing views of Positano, the ocean, and even Capri! You get the full days sun with beautiful sunset views from your balcony. The upstairs (street level) offers dining with an included breakfast which is everything you need to start your day. If you choose to eat dinner there (which I recommend) you'll be served amazing food by a wonderful staff. The location is great because you're closer to Positano if you're travelling that way but also for day trips the SITA bus stop is less than a 5 minute walk away which you can jump on to Amalfi, Positano and Sorrento. The hotel manager Giorgio is extremely accommodating and knowledgeable of the area and will help arrange a taxi service if need be. Lastly, if you want to jump in the ocean you have a wonderful walk down to the water from the gates of Smeraldos private garden/ communal terrace. It's very accessible with a little bar along the way "Cafe Mirante", and a nice restaurant by the water called "La Gavitella". I look forward to staying here again!

This hotel is absolutely incredible! Small, family-owned vibe with incredible customer service. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, as though we were family. The rooms are gorgeous, and the views are second to none. We also loved the complimentary breakfast buffet and that we were able to dine at the hotel’s restaurant every night during our stay. It appeared that the restaurant was exclusive to hotel guests, so we always got a table with a view. 10/10 would recommend for the trip of a lifetime!

Very well located property in the Amalfi Coast with stunning views. Staff was very good and it felt like the property is their own home.

We had an amazing view from our balcony. Staff were amazing and helped us organise a boat trip which was magical. Great location near a bus stop with amazing views over to Positano. Bed was hard, but otherwise room was great. We loved the area and it was better value for money than Positano.
