We had a very nice stay in Praiano at Casa Il Geco. It was a beautiful, nicely decorated private house with a great view of the water. We had a small kitchen that helped with our breakfasts and lunches. The bathroom was nice, except we had an issue with one of the shower nozzles. It wasn't able to be fixed during our stay, but some money was given back to us for this reason. Raffaele, who was in charge of the property and dealing with us, was very kind and generous with his time. He gave lots of advice about the town and activities we could do, and was always ready to answer our questions on WhatsApp. There was also an issue with quite a few ants coming into the kitchen area, but again, Raffaele was very prompt with his responses, and the issue was dealt with quickly. We would recommend staying here, if you want to enjoy what Amalfi Coast has to offer without dealing with the craziness of Positano. One downside of Praiano is that there is no Ferry stop there, but it is a short bus ride to Positano or Amalfi if you want to get a ferry. Praiano is quiter, has everything you need, some nice rocky beaches (be ready to walk down and up many steps), and it feels like you are around more actual local people. We had a great stay.
