Villa Il Frantoio: A Charming Bed & Breakfast in Praiano, Italy

Tucked away in the enchanting village of Vettica Maggiore in Praiano, Southern Italy, Villa Il Frantoio is a beautifully restored historic property that once served as an olive press for local villagers. This villa has been thoughtfully renovated to capture the essence of its storied past.

Villa Il Frantoio offers six uniquely designed double rooms, each featuring an en suite bathroom and a private terrace. Additionally, a two-bedroom apartment with kitchen facilities is available for those seeking more space. Guests can enjoy breathtaking views of the shimmering Mediterranean, the picturesque town of Positano, and the legendary island of Capri. From your window, you can almost reach out to Homer’s mythical isle of the Sirens (Sirenuse).

Dating back to the 17th century, the villa showcases stunning architecture that retains its romantic and dramatic elements. The private and shared terraces are adorned with striking high arches, while the sleeping chambers boast elegant domed ceilings that reflect the region's authentic style. The original stone wheel and press have been preserved as a tasteful centerpiece in our grand suite.

While great care has been taken to maintain its original charm and elegance, Villa Il Frantoio also offers all the modern amenities expected of a world-class bed and breakfast.
