ACCESS AND PARKING
Casale Fralisa is located in a pedestrian-only area, typical of Praiano, and cannot be reached directly by car. Access is exclusively on foot via a scenic path with steps. For this reason, the property is not recommended for guests who do not enjoy walking, climbing stairs, or who have mobility issues.
Upon request, a paid porter service can be arranged for luggage assistance at check-in and check-out.
• Private paid parking available on request at approximately 150 meters from the property (advance booking strongly recommended, especially in high season).
• Public paid parking available at approximately 200 meters from the property. Parking is not reservable and may be crowded in high season due to the limited number of spaces.
GETTING AROUND
Thanks to its strategic location, Casale Fralisa allows guests to explore the Amalfi Coast easily even without a car.
• Boat excursions from Praiano (Marina di Praia – approx. 1 km): The most scenic and relaxing way to travel along the coast. Ideal for visiting Capri, Positano, Amalfi, and sea-access-only coves while avoiding traffic and parking issues.
• Public buses (SITA and local buses – stop approx. 200 m away): Regular connections to Positano and Amalfi. A practical and economical option, though often crowded and slower during high season.
• Private driver: Offers comfort and flexibility, with higher costs compared to public transport and limited availability during peak periods. Advance booking (at least one day ahead) is recommended.
• On foot: The most authentic way to experience Praiano. All services are reachable by walking, always involving steps and elevation changes typical of the area. Recommended for guests accustomed to walking.
• Scooter rental: Provides greater independence in terms of schedules and routes, but is recommended only for experienced riders comfortable with narrow and busy coastal roads.
