Chiesa di San Gennaro in Praiano

This Baroque church stands on a wide terrace overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea in Vettica Maggiore. Its oval dome features vibrant yellow, blue, and white majolica tiles that catch the Mediterranean sun. Below the dome, the white stucco facade contrasts sharply with a dark lava stone doorway.

Inside, a hand-painted majolica floor from the eighteenth century displays intricate floral and geometric patterns. For centuries, local fishermen gathered at the altars here to pray before heading out to sea. The soft evening light on the terrace brings a quiet sense of timeless coastal solitude.

🍽️Il Pirata

restaurant

View all Restaurants

Il Pirata sits low over the water, carved into the Amalfi rock. Tables face the marina, where salt air meets white linen and polished service. The room feels nautical without theater, with stone, glass, and measured coastal light.

Its soul is seafood, handled with restraint and clear Campanian flavor. Expect local fish, clams, prawns, lemons, olive oil, and pasta with real bite. Visitors come for the sea view, then remember the clean taste of the coast.
