Why Praiano is the Amalfi Coast’s Best-Kept Secret

When travelers plan a trip to the Amalfi Coast, Positano and Ravello usually capture the headlines. But those in the know head straight for Praiano—specifically, to Hotel Piccolo Sant’Andrea.

Situated right between Amalfi and Positano, Praiano offers something increasingly rare on the Italian Riviera: breathing room.

3 Reasons to Make Piccolo Sant’Andrea Your Base:

1. The Longest Sunsets on the CoastThanks to its geographic angle, Praiano receives more direct afternoon sunlight and dramatic sunsets than almost any other village along the coast. Watching the light change from your suite terrace is an art form here.
2. Bespoke Sanctuary DesignWith only a handpicked selection of suites, service remains deeply personal. Each room—from the Garden Designsuites with private Mediterranean lawns to the Panorama suites—is designed around light, open space, and natural stone.
3. Seamless Coastal AccessExplore the Sentiero degli Dei (“Path of the Gods”) or board a private boat charter to Capri straight from the nearby marina, returning in the evening to quiet hydrotherapy in the hotel spa.
