Hello!
I'm trying to decide if the Hotel Margherita in Praino would be a good place to stay. We'll be there 3 nights in October- coming in from Rome and the hotel site looks great. Got a great rate of 106E for a Superior Double.

Has anyone stayed there? Is it too remote? We will not be having a car.
My other option would be to stay in Positano - at California, Viall Rosa or Casa Albertina.

Thanks!

pattytravel,

I haven't stayed there, but I could recommend another in Praiano - Le Sirene***. They have a web site. Very nice and quiet, some rooms with private terrace/patio. Good breakfast, excellent owners.

If you stay in Praiano, be sure to have dinner at La Brace!

Buon viaggio!

Hi PT,

Good suggestion from Dayle. http://lesirene.com/ Room 12 has a large private balcony with a beautiful view.

See my trip report: Ira’s Trip Report (Italy 2003)

Enjoy your visit.

nice trip report, Ira. The website for Le Sirene looks kinda iffy, esp. in comparison to Margherita.
Made note about Dayles restaurant suggestion - thanks to both

Hey PT,

>The website for Le Sirene looks kinda iffy,<

Do you also judge books by their covers?

Hi,

I do not know the Hotel Margherita, but I have stayed at the Tramonto d'oro in Praiano. It is a lovely hotel that is family run. It has a fabulous roof top pool and a great breakfast terrace. Look at this hotel. You will have a wonderful trip.

yes, ira, at times I do judge books by their covers!! LOL

patty,

I stayed at Le Sirene on Ira's recommendation from his trip report. I really loved it. I've never looked at the Mergherita, so I'll check out their web site out of curiosity.
