Villa Anelide exceeded our expectations on almost every level. We visited for a week in April and could not have been happier. When you walk through the gate onto the long wide main veranda it’s a jaw dropper and you know you made the right call. The long wide veranda has multiple cozy seating areas, a dining area and a classic Italian vine covered pergola. Of course, the views are stunning. At the end and up a level is plunge pool with some additional lounge chairs. Down a level are lemon, fig and lime trees. For 3 couples the layout is ideal. There are 3 equally large rooms with large beds and private baths. The kitchen is decently equipped and has a long peninsula allowing for multiple cooks in the kitchen and a great place to put food out. The indoor dining area easily accommodates 6. We were thankful for the cool April evenings, but it did necessitate indoor dining. The “living room” area isn’t much to speak about, but really who cares, it’s the Amalfi Coast, your outside.The villa’s location was ideal for our purposes. It’s out of the frenzy of Positano and Amalfi, but an easy 15–20-minute ride to either. Down the private steps you can access multiple restaurants and bars, water taxis, and a beach, all connected via a narrow esplanade that winds its way around cliffs and into Praiano. Il Parada was my favorite. Great drinks, bar snacks and food. Think negroni’s at the water’s edge.
