 Location:

Centrally located in Praiano, a charming former fishing village situated between Amalfi and Positano. Just a flight of steps from the main coastal road and all necessary facilities – butchers, fruit & vegetable shops, grocery store, post office, bank, and the local, coastal bus stop for Positano, Sorrento and Amalfi.  Its secluded position, high above the coastline, surrounded by large terraces planted with palm trees and flowers, makes Villa Regina Bianca an exclusive oasis of privacy and peace, offering fantastic views towards Positano and Capri. The villa is laid out on three floors and the top tower. The villa is wonderful as it stands in its white splendors, leading your thoughts onto a dream-like place, which at the same time, with its arched-formed windows and garden columns, fall perfectly into the surrounding area.  About 150 meters from the villa, a pathway of steps takes you all the way down to the Praia beach near the Saracen tower of Praiano. The bathing establishment has sun chairs and umbrellas. The restaurant and bar serves food.

The patio is furnished with a wicker sofa, 4 iron chairs, a small glass topped table, and 2 dining tables with chairs.  The patio has 3 French doors leading into the villa’s living room and dining area.  The dining room, adorned with Roman amphora, boasts a large, glass-topped table and fragments of original roman columns and seating for 12.  Access to a large, well-equipped tile kitchen (accessible from also the terrace and the hall) with refrigerator, freezer with icemaker, 5-range stovetop, oven, microwave, and dishwasher.  Dining corner with table and 3 chairs.
