Hotel La Perla in Praiano

The reception staff were exceptionally helpful. We arrived late as our train was delayed and they were able to help with transport and dinner reservation.
The balcony view both from our room and at breakfast was a delight.

Staff was great especially the guy who helps with the breakfast and the bar area all day, very helpful and remembers each morning what your favorite coffee is. We had a great view with a balcony overlooking the sea and directly across the street from Onde Verde Hotel for a lot less money. I would recommend this place.

Breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff

This hotel was very quaint across the street from the sea We had a beautiful view and balcony that we used and enjoyed daily A short walk and you were at the beach and several very lovely restaurants to eat / drink at It was also a short drive to downtown area Breakfast was very pleasant and food was fresh Our only small complaint is that the bed was very hard and the pillows very flat Plus shower was one of kind The staff and location made up for that

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The property is located near a bus stop which was really convenient since it is located between Positano and Amalfi. The room was clean and spacious. The view from the room was beautiful and the walkout balcony was a nice size. The bathroom was spacious and great water pressure on the showers. Breakfast was tasty and the staff was excellent. They even provided dining recommencations and made reservations for dinner and helped with transportation arrangements. We had a really nice stay and I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Absolutely fantastic hotel with incredible views of the coast from our balcony. Clean, quiet, good breakfast with the same views as our room. I would recommend having some sort of transportation to get around from here. We rented a scooter and had a great time riding from Amalfi to Positano.....and everything in between.

Hotel La Perla was a great place to stay along the Amalfi coast. The hotel is as described, nothing super flash but certainly nice enough. The room was well appointed and had all the necessities, albeit a bit small. The breakfast was okay but nice to have. The views from the common area was fantastic and lovely place to have breakfast and a drink in the afternoon. It was about a 10/15 min walk to a very nice beach. There is also a bus stop right out the front - however the buses were a little unpredictable, so I wouldn’t fully rely on them. The hotel is about a 30 min walk from the “main” part of Praiano, so restaurants and shops in close proximity are limited. There are few mini markets close by that sells most things. Keep in mind the Praiano is much smaller than Positano and Amalfi so there is less to do and you will rely on transport a bit more, and the busses aren’t great. The hotel can help with lifts though taxis and transfers are very expensive. Unfortunately the restaurant for dinner was closed down, and there weren’t heaps of options nearby, a few fancier places but they were quite expensive. All in all La Perla was a good place to stay at.

Hidden Affordable Gem
Stayed one night on my way to Agerola for a wedding. For a few hundred a night I had stunning balcony with 270 degree ocean view. Definitely get a balcony unit. Location was ideal for relaxed stay as it was situated in quiet Praiano halfway between popular (but overcrowded) Positano and Amalfi towns with bus stop right across the street. The beach (stone) and water access were about ten minutes walk down steep hill but very doable for any healthy person. You can rent umbrellas and chairs for swimming and sun bathing. Also, the walkway down was dotted with multiple good restaurants and bars with ocean views. There was also a convenience store 100M up main road where you can also get the bus passes and an ATM (but not a bank so be careful to decline dynamic conversion offer to avoid fees). I did not have a car but I think they offer parking. This was a lovely spot to relax and you can use the bus to explore but relying on the bus alone can be time consuming as it doesn’t stop if it’s full so a car will be desirable if you want on demand mobility. Taxis are extremely expensive ($90 Euro to Amalfi) and sometimes hard to book. You could just stay at the hotel area to relax for several days and pay for guided tours (Amalfi, Capri, Positano, Sorrento, etc) but bring a car if you want to be independently mobile. Note that parking in the towns will also be really expensive though.
