You make your way through this winding, picturesque town along the Alamfi coast that is Praiano, and you land at B&B La Barbera (if you're lucky enough). There, you're welcomed with a warmth as if you've known them your entire life. Before settling into your suite, you're invited to sit on the patio to soak in the spectacular views of the Amalfi coast while enjoying freshly baked cake, a cappuccino and an ice cold Peroni. What a first impression. The Team: Silvia, Roberto, Francesco, Gelsomina and Anna are the kindest, warmest people you will meet. You will instantly feel that your comfort is their top priority. They will make sure your visit is completely stress-free - if you need reservations to a great restaurant in town, they'll make it happen. If you need directions, they're there for you. You could not be in better hands. The Property: Immaculately maintained and so thoughtfully designed and curated. You could eat off the floors. It is so evident that there is a level of pride of ownership that is rarely seen. Anything that is supposed to shine, shines. The smells of the property evoke cleanliness. The Suite: Magical. What's important to call out is there's no real segregation between the "cheapest" and "most expensive" rooms. Anyone who's lucky enough to stay here will experience very much the same level of luxury, because the baseline of every suite is quite literally, luxury. The private terrace is the star of the show with sun loungers, a hot tub and outdoor shower! The Breakfast: Unreal. Creamy cappuccinos, detox water, fresh juices, homemade cakes, locally made cheeses, dairy and yogurt (life changing), fresh fruits, cold cuts, fresh bread... You will not find another breakfast like this anywhere. The Town of Praiano: Charming. Great restaurants and food scene - we tried Kasai, La Strada, and Che Bonta - all were winners. This town is quite literally built on the side of a cliff, so don't be surprised with the amount of stairs and uphill/downhill walking. Positano and Amalfi are great places to visit for the day, but if you're looking for the quiet charm of the Amalfi coast, Praiano offers it all. Overall: If I could give B&B La Barbera 10 out of 5 ☆, I would. We will DEFINITELY be back. This was the highlight of our vacation. Thank you, Team La Barbera! Chantal & Kevin.
