We had a lovely time at Santacroce Blue if you don't take into account the fact that Air Berlin lost our luggage. Due to the delay at the airport in reporting our lost luggage, we were quite late arriving in Praiano. Signora Carmen was very helpful in communicating with the bus drivers as we made our way to Praiano. She met us at the bus stop at 9.45pm and arranged for us to be directed to our accommodation. She also provided some clothing for me to wear while we waited for our luggage to arrive. We found the location perfect for our needs and it wasn't over run with tourists like other towns along the coast. The washing machine broke down while we were there. She arranged for our washing to be done while the repair work was in progress. We were very satisfied with the accommodation and service. Great location with magnificent views. We have since stayed in other accommodation since Praiano and found that Santacroce Blue was better than some we stayed in. R.H. August 2013 We had an absolutely wonderful time. From the moment we landed to the moment we were dropped back at the airport it was perfect. I spent so long, as you know, trying to find the right place. I needed somewhere that would allow me quiet reflection as well as a holiday with plenty to do and interesting entertainment both historical and commercial:) Our driver to the apartment was absolutely superb. He spoke to us all the way, stopping for the view and to buy fruit from a local seller. On arrival, Carmen greeted us with such style (I won’t spoil it for those who are still to visit) and she is a lovely woman who clearly takes great pride in her place. The location was perfect for all the things we wanted to do. We travelled around by speed boat (to Capri which was awesome), water taxi (driven by a singing Italian taking us to the most romantic restaurant on the sea-front), by ferry (from Amalfi to Positano), by foot (along roads with breathtaking views), by local bus, Sita bus, train, (to Pompei and beyond), open top sightseeing bus (to Ravello, which was life-affirming), and we even got lifts from locals by car all the way to Nerano and back! We will feel forever guilty that we did not water the plants on our beautiful terrace, but the locals were very forgiving. I would not hesitate to use your service again and plan to do so for our next holiday. The village, the people, the apartment and your organising, made this the most superb and memorable holiday we have ever had. Please pass our thanks on and hopefully we shall be in touch again soon.
