Villa Il Frantoio and Lilmar

We visited Il Frantoio with very special friends as part of my wife’s birthday celebrations. We had a wonderful stay with everything being just perfect. Our 2 bedroom apartment was really well equipped and very comfortable with a large private patio space. Breakfast was fabulous and it was great to have fruits and other breakfast ingredients which had been grown in the hotel gardens. Giacomo was a wonderful host who took the time to chat to us every morning and he had plenty of good suggestions for things to do and places to see. We booked his private boat for a 4 hour trip along the Amalfi coast. We enjoyed drinks during the cruise and a couple of stops for us to have a swim. The rest of the team at Il Frantoio are all wonderful and super helpful. Cristina looked after us on arrival and was on hand to prepare some delicious lemonchello spritz drinks by the pool. Tony was busy preparing our breakfast each morning, and Aruna kept out apartment clean with a daily refresh - always with a big smile on his face. We also met Giulio - Giacomo’s Dad, who tended to the garden areas and made the most wonderful jam for the breakfast buffet. Overall this place is faultless and I hope we can return again some time. Until then and to all the team at Il Frantoio - Grazie!! David & Pauline

Villa I’ll Frantonio was a perfect place to stay while touring the Amalfi coast. Giacomo and Cristina were great hosts and so very helpful providing information on activities, restaurants and transportation around the area. Breakfast was included and it was cooked fresh, hearty and included many local seasonal items. One could walk directly to the “Path of Gods” hiking trail right from the hotel which was a bonus as was the heated pool and sun loungers which afforded an amazing view of the ocean. 5 out of 5 stars for this wonderful boutique hotel.

We enjoyed our stay. Praiano was wonderful quiet village with excellent dinner options. The staff and owner were great. We couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing stay.
