“La Divina” è una statua realizzata dal Maestro Paolo Sandulli, esposta nella sala dedicata a Lucia, la proprietaria. Sandulli, che vive ed espone il suo lavoro di arti in una famosa torre nella città di Praiano, realizzò una scultura unica nel suo genere, resa unica dal suo caratteristico ramo di corallo rosso e particolari orecchini, che sono conchiglie locali chiamate “occhi di Santa Lucia”.
I proprietari, Lucia e Bartolo, realizzarono il loro sogno per la loro piccola figlia Maria Vittoria.
La villa si trova in una tranquilla zona a soli 5 minuti dal centro di Praiano. Gli stabilimenti balneari sono a 15 minuti.

È considerata da molti il tratto di costa più suggestivo d'Italia, un paesaggio di scogliere torreggianti, villaggi dalle tinte pastello incastonati nelle colline, strade a cornici precipitose, giardini lussureggianti e ampie vedute su acque turchesi e montagne ricoperte di verde. Considerata dall'UNESCO "un esempio eccezionale di paesaggio mediterraneo, con eccezionali valori paesaggistici culturali e naturali", la costa ha ottenuto nel 1997 l'ambito posto nella lista del Patrimonio Mondiale.
La Costiera Amalfitana si trova lungo i fianchi meridionali della Penisola Sorrentina, un promontorio a falesia che si stacca dalla terraferma all'estremità meridionale del Golfo di Napoli. Le sue città più famose - Amalfi, Positano e Ravello - hanno affascinato e ispirato artisti per secoli, dallo scrittore del XIV secolo Giovanni Boccaccio al compositore del XIX secolo Richard Wagner e al drammaturgo del XX secolo Tennessee Williams.
Come arrivare
I treni collegano Napoli con Sorrento e Salerno. Durante i mesi più caldi, inoltre, i battelli collegano molte città della Costiera Amalfitana.
Le strade della Costiera Amalfitana sono notoriamente tortuose, strette e impegnative da guidare. Se a ciò si aggiungono i panorami mozzafiato e gli audaci guidatori italiani, noti per la loro spavalderia al volante, questo viaggio in auto offre una delle esperienze di guida più emozionanti d'Europa. Il famoso percorso della Costiera Amalfitana segue la costa da Sorrento a sud fino a Salerno. Gli abitanti del luogo consigliano di pianificare un viaggio in Costiera Amalfitana durante le stagioni turistiche di spalla, da metà settembre a ottobre e a maggio, quando la strada è meno affollata e gli autobus turistici sono meno numerosi.
Il punto di accesso più comodo alla Costiera è Salerno, un porto molto frequentato e noto per essere stato una delle principali teste di ponte degli Alleati durante l'invasione dell'Italia nel 1943. Dall'Autostrada A3, si prende la SS163 a Vietri sul Mare, un villaggio famoso per le sue ceramiche e che offre ampie vedute della costa. La strada si snoda tra punti panoramici - quello di Capo d'Orso è forse il migliore - e costeggia i villaggi di Maiori (spiaggia sabbiosa) e Minori (rovine di una villa romana del I secolo d.C.), prima che un bivio vicino ad Atrani (due suggestive chiese) vi porti nell'entroterra a Ravello.
Ravello è considerata una delle cittadine più romantiche e belle dell'Italia meridionale. Arroccata su ripidi pendii terrazzati - più vicini al cielo che al mare, secondo il romanziere francese André Gide - è un luogo benedetto da giardini lussureggianti, vicoli tranquilli, angoli sonnolenti e assolati, e un'altura di 365 metri che offre una vista indimenticabile sulla costa azzurra sottostante. Il suo cuore è costituito da una cattedrale dell'XI secolo e da Villa Rufolo (Piazza del Vescovado; tel. 089 857 657), una delle due ville per cui la città è famosa. Costruita nel XIII secolo, la villa ha ospitato papi e re, oltre a Richard Wagner, che qui compose parte della sua opera Parsifal nel 1880. La vista dai suoi giardini idilliaci è magnifica, così come quella dalla vicina Villa Cimbrone.
Tornando sulla costa da Ravello, la strada delle cornici porta ad Amalfi, a suo tempo una delle quattro potenti repubbliche marinare italiane (con Venezia, Pisa e Genova). Un tempo tutto il commercio marittimo nel Mediterraneo era regolato dalle Tavole Amalfitane del XII secolo, uno dei codici marittimi più antichi del mondo. Oggi, il panorama della città sul mare, i numerosi caffè e negozi e il clima mite la rendono una località molto popolare, quindi preparatevi a prezzi elevati e alla folla in alta stagione.
L'orgoglio di Amalfi spetta al Duomo di Sant'Andrea, con una facciata dai motivi intricati, rifatta nel XIX secolo. Fondata nel IX secolo, le successive modifiche della cattedrale hanno risparmiato la sua principale gloria, le porte bronzee bizantine dell'XI secolo del portale principale. Accanto alla chiesa si trova il Chiostro del Paradiso (1268), il cui cupo tono romanico è ravvivato dagli elementi arabi delle sue sinuose colonne.
Per sfuggire al trambusto di Amalfi, fate un'escursione sulle colline sopra la città. Consultate il centro visitatori o fate la famosa passeggiata lungo la Valle dei Mulini, una gola dai lati scoscesi punteggiata da mulini ad acqua in rovina, un tempo utilizzati per la produzione della carta, industria per la quale Amalfi era, ed è tuttora, famosa. Il piccolo Museo della offre esposizioni relative all'industria.

The number of Occupants shall at all times be subject to approval by Owner, and additional charges will apply for all approved extra guests exceeding the maximum number of Guests as set forth in the Reservation Invoice. BRAVO HOLIDAYS calculates prices almost one year in advance, so as not to inflate the list price by speculating the Dollar’s exchange rate, BRAVO HOLIDAYS bases the currency exchange rate on past performance plus current trends.

Within three (3) days of the execution of this Agreement, Client shall pay the reservation deposit which may be non-refundable either in full or in part depending on the time of payment. The reservation deposit payment should be made by check, wire transfer or credit card. The final payment balance is due ninety (90) days prior to the arrival date and is payable only by check, wire transfer or credit card. Failure to pay the final payment balance of the Total Package Price when due will constitute an automatic cancellation, and the reservation deposit shall be forfeited. When bookings are made within ninety (90) days prior to the arrival date, the entire Total Package Price is due at booking and is non-refundable. (ii). Payment Instructions. Will be provided at time of booking. Security Deposit. A security deposit is required for most rentals and the security deposit amount and location for payment is specified on the Reservation Invoice (“Security Deposit”).

Client is responsible for any increase in price of the new BRAVO HOLIDAYS. If Client prefers not to rebook another property, we will provide a full refund of payments made if BRAVO HOLIDAYS or Owner cancel the Agreement. A full refund of payments made by Client is Client’s sole and exclusive remedy for cancellation by BRAVO HOLIDAYS or Owner. Neither BRAVO HOLIDAYS nor Owner shall have any liability for any loss, expense or damage, including by way of explanation and not by limitation, travel expenses, alternative lodging or any other loss, expense, or damage. Modification by Client. If Client requests to modify or change the choice of the Villa Property or the dates for rental of the Villa Property, we have the right to treat a change of the Villa Property and/or the Villa Property dates as a cancellation of one property and the booking of another property, and Client is responsible for any increase in the price of the then applicable Total Package Price. All requested modifications of this Agreement by Client shall be valid only if made in writing and become effective only as of the date of receipt of such writing and provided it is agreed to by BRAVO HOLIDAYS in writing.
