I had read the reviews of others prior to booking my stay. I was not disappointed. very clean. excellent view of the coastline. the wireless internet was excellent. Pillows and bed were a little hard for my preference but it was not an issue. the owner/manager was a very nice gentleman who spoke fairly good english. they have private parking... More

My wife, adult daughter and I stayed in Praiano at the Hotel Smeraldo for one night in December 2012. My daughter wanted to experience the Amalfi coast and indeed, this location worked well as we were able to hike up a long staircase which started near the hotel entrance and ended at a Convent 1,000 feet above sea level. We... More

We only stayed one night in this hotel and were lucky enough to have the one room with a jacuzzi on the balcony. Absolutely fantastic! I think it was room 153, The view was breathtaking of Capri and Positano and the jacuzzi way too much fun. The room was furnished very nicely although unfortunately not all the television channels worked... More

Hote Smeraldo was just the perfect place to stay in Praiano. The room was large and comfortable with a big balcony overlooking the sea. Amazing views also from the restaurant which made breakfast and dinner very special. The food was really good and service was friendly and efficient. Would definitely recommend or stay again!

My first experience with this establishment was via e-mail and the interaction was quick & pleasant and informative. Once arrived, we couldn't believe how adorable the hotel was and what a specatular view! The dining balcony for breakfast & dinner overlook the coast with a fantastic view of Positano. The food was exquisite.... the service excellent & friendly... the rooms... More

An authentic Italian family hotel, relaxed, warm and friendly, and all in a much more authentic Italian town than Positano. But with the same - or better - views. One room (sorry, can't remember which) has a jacuzzi on the balcony which overlooks the Amalfi coast, looking back towards Positano. The views from these rooms and from the terrace where... More

Our arrival was heartily greeted by the owner and this experience kept on going for our entire three nights stay. The hotel room was very clean and superbly located below the street, so no traffic noise was audible at any time. A most beautiful view from a spacious balcony made the stay a really beautiful experience. Descending the many steps... More

We stayed here and were delightfully impressed with every aspect of this hotel and restaurant: I give it a rare 5-stars: for squeaky-cleanliness of entire hotel, superbly clean bathrooms with jet massage showers (looks brand-new; must have recently remodeled all bathrooms), friendliness and helpfulness of staff (all family, which is a charming touch), fantastic meals every night (and we are...
