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!

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.

This place was quiet and serenely beautiful with the best views of the Amalfi coast. staff was very nice and respectful. Raffael was very patient both before and after our arrival with so many questions. They setup transporation and tours for us that worked with our schedules and the room was amazing. His entire family was very gracious and Georgio was so great preparing my breakfast exactly the way I liked. Already miss all of of it.

First time to the Almalfi coast. Chose this little gem of a hotel in the quiet town of Praiano. The family and staff (Georgio) took care of our every need and made us feel welcome. Hotel clean and up to date with the most beautiful views of the Almalfi coast and Capri. Perfect place to stay in between Positano and Amalfi. We will definitely be back to stay in the future!
