Our room had a beautiful view of Positano. It also had a tub on the balcony. Perfect location to explore Praiano without a lot of stairs or hills. I would recommend to anyone who is exploring the Amalfi Coast. No big crowds, great food and the best views. We took the bus to Amalfi and Positano. We took a boat back. The staff was very helpful and kind.

Our room was quite basic, but it was clean and bright and everything - lights, lamps, AC, faucets, toilet, bidet, shower, wi-fi - worked! The balcony was spacious and had a fabulous view of the sea, Positano (the best view of Positano is from Hotel Smeraldo!), Li Galli, the Sorrento Peninsula, and the edge of Capri. Pasquale, Raffaele, Giorgio, and all the staff were helpful and friendly. The location is great for walking to restaurants, up to the convent and the Path of the Gods, or down to the beach.

We absolutely loved our stay at Hotsl Smeraldo. From the moment we walked in we felt taken care of. To bringing in our luggage, parking our car, and automatically providing a reservation at the best table in the restaurant, the staff were amazing. The views from the restaurant and rooms cannot be beat! Located on the main road made accessing the hotel so easy, and it was a short stroll to the shops and additional restaurants and cafes. We are already planning a return trip!

The property itself is beautiful, and the rooms overlooking the water have gorgeous balconies--the best view we had in 10 days in the Amalfi coast. Would absolutely come back.

We had a relaxing stay at Hotel Smeraldo in Praiano. There were good food options at a short walking distance. We drove to the hotel and the staff parked the car for us and retrieved it as well during check out. The hotel was at a convenient place for our boat tour at the La Gavitella restaurant which was a short walk away from the hotel. The room it self was very adequate and couldn't ask for more.

Wonderful hotel in the middle of the Amalfi Coast without the crowds. The owner and staff are always on site and very attentive to their guests. The hotel is very clean and comfortable with a daily meals served on the veranda overlooking the beautiful coastline and hills surrounding the area. Be aware that parking is very limited and there is no exercise facility. I want to also recognize GEORGIO our primary host who was super friendly and attended to our every need. My wife became ill during our stay, GEORGIO found us a local doctor who came to the hotel! Quality abounds at this hotel.

If you're staying in Praiano you should definitely stay at Hotel Smerlado! The rooms are stunning with amazing views of Positano, the ocean, and even Capri! You get the full days sun with beautiful sunset views from your balcony. The upstairs (street level) offers dining with an included breakfast which is everything you need to start your day. If you choose to eat dinner there (which I recommend) you'll be served amazing food by a wonderful staff. The location is great because you're closer to Positano if you're travelling that way but also for day trips the SITA bus stop is less than a 5 minute walk away which you can jump on to Amalfi, Positano and Sorrento. The hotel manager Giorgio is extremely accommodating and knowledgeable of the area and will help arrange a taxi service if need be. Lastly, if you want to jump in the ocean you have a wonderful walk down to the water from the gates of Smeraldos private garden/ communal terrace. It's very accessible with a little bar along the way "Cafe Mirante", and a nice restaurant by the water called "La Gavitella". I look forward to staying here again!
