Casa Lauritano

Fantastic accommodations in center of small town. Easily accessible, great communication with host, will return to this location.

We were two couples in our late 60s who stayed for 5 nights. The apartment was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Yes there are stairs but this is the Amalfi Coast - they are a fact of life that you get used to. The location just off the square was very convenient to the shops and restaurants. Our hosts, Isaia and Linda, were extremely responsive and helpful, making any and all arrangements requested, answering questions and providing recommendations. We can’t say enough about the apartment or our hosts.Amalfi is less than10 minutes walk from Atrani. We went to and from many times. We also went to Ravello, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Minori and Capri. Would recommend them all.

A perfectly authentic and comfortable experience, Casa Lauritano was the highlight of our Italian holiday. The rooms are beautiful with high ceilings and great air conditioning. The kitchen and living space are spacious, well furnished and decorated in beautiful tiles. Outside there are a total of 3 different areas where you can sit and enjoy the view of the sea and the moon and stars at night. We highly recommend you contact Isaia in advance to set up a private in home dining experience or if you have any questions about getting to Atrani. He and his contacts are all incredibly helpful and responsive, a huge comfort when staying in a country where you are not fluent in their language. If you are looking for an intimate or romantic getaway, this is the perfect location!

We loved Atrani, a quaint little town without the tourist-y hustle and bustle of Amalfi, which is only a 15-20 minute walk up the road. The beach is nice and very close to the property. Maddalena, the property owner was really nice and the flat itself is serviceable, but there are a few things we wish we had known before making our reservation. First, the entry, bedrooms and kitchen/living area are on three different "floors" with very steep spiral stairs in between and there are no handrails. While the property description says it's "wheelchair inaccessible", these stairs were difficult even for someone with only an arthritic hip! Secondly, between the church bells that chime every 15 minutes (24 hours a day) and the incredibly loud neighbors who are up at 6 a.m., we had to wear earplugs to bed. And finally, it's the little things that make the difference. The bath towels provided were so small and tread-bear, they looked more like rags; there was no microwave that we could find; no place to hang the laundry to dry; and we had an ant invasion in the kitchen when we left cookies out. All in all, we can't give this property more than a three-star rating, even with the beautiful location and nice beach.
