Villa Volare: A splendid villa with the fascination of the typical and ancient mediterranean houses, with Free WI-FI.

Villa Volare is a splendid villa with the fascination of the typical and ancient mediterranean houses. It sleeps eight people. From Villa Volare you will enjoy a thrilling view of the sea and of the coastline. Villa Volare is 160 square meters (1720 square feet). It features a private swimming pool, two wide private terraces with a view of the sea, a private garden, air conditioning (please read description below to check in which rooms the units are installed) and WI-FI Internet access.
You will be in a pedestrian precinct, in the seventeenth-century historic center of Praiano, where you will find restaurants and shops. You will find the stop for the Flavio Gioia bus Positano - Praiano line at 120 meters (390 feet) and the closest beach (Marina di Praia Beach) at roughly 1 km (0.6 miles). You will reach Villa Volare from the street level going up a 150-meters (490-feet) public walkway that includes approximately 62 stairway steps.
You will not need a car to stay at Villa Volare. If you do have one, you will be able to park it for a fee, in one of the private parking lots of Praiano (pending availability).

Villa Volare is part of the historical center of Praiano, which consists of a cluster of white houses on the highest area of a steep slope of a hill overlooking the sea. The houses are nestled around the beautiful bell-tower and the eighteenth-century church of San Luca.


In this area of Praiano, almost all the houses date back to the eighteenth century. They feature white façades often decorated with stuccoes, patios below masonry arches sustaining terraces facing the sea, and sloping gardens filled with flowers and citrus trees around. To walk through such extraordinary village, declared World Heritage site by UNESCO, means climbing narrow stairways and pedestrian streets.


The whole area is made for pedestrians, except for the only access street to the main square. Here you will not find streets packed with tourists; all you will see are the kind inhabitants of the place. And you will be able to experience the fascination and authentic beauty of the Amalfi Coast: one not changed by the actions of tourism!


Villa Volare lies in a secluded position, having been built chiefly on a rocky steep slope. Once you have crossed the entrance gate, a beautiful white staircase - flanked with pots full of flowers - will lead you up on a terrace which is the access to both the house and a second larger terrace (through an external flight of steps) where you will find the swimming pool and the garden.


Villa Volare will enchant you for sure! You'll face only the blue of the sky and the sea, while both sides show the green coastal outline spotted with the typical white houses in Praiano.


The clean and lemon-scented air, the vivid colors under the Mediterranean sun, and the harmony and beauty surrounding you will make you happy for being alive and enjoying your vacation in such a great place…

Gorgeous views and very spacious and value for money
The property was spacious with many areas to relax. Amazing rooftop views and pool and places to sun bake. Kitchen was well equipped and all 3 rooms had separate ensuites. Very happy with the space we had for 3 couples. We did have a leak in the middle of the night which was quickly resolved in the morning and the property manager was apologetic and happy to resolve. I would definitely come back again.

Villa with a beautiful view and comfortable family accommodations
Our family of 6 had a wonderful and relaxing stay at your lovely villa! It was so nice having the space and all of the bedrooms were very roomy. There were a lot of steps leading up to the villa but we knew that in advance and the manager used the lift to transport our bags most of the way up. The entire villa was air conditioned which was great since it was very hot during our stay and the refreshing pool on the top floor was perfect for our early evening recharge after our tours.

Great place to stay
We didn’t know that there was no parking available but we made it work. Giovanni was a huge help with our luggage upon arrival and departure. Lots of steps to climb but property was amazing. Beautiful views and plenty of room for 3 couples. If you have difficulty with walking,this is not the place to stay otherwise it was amazing

A beautiful villa in a great location!
The villa is located in Praiano, a small town that is about a 10 minute bus ride from Positano. It is a quieter town than Positano and we felt very safe. This is the perfect location if you are travelling with a large party. After climbing 50+ steps, you will enter in the Villa Giampa. There is a locked gate and another set of 15 + steps that lead to the villa entrance. The first level has a long table and grill area. Inside, there is a large kitchen with plenty of plates, glasses, serving platters, and utensils that you will need. Our host was kind enough to leave some coffee to help with the jet lag the next morning! There are 3 very large rooms, each of which contains a double bed and a twin bed. You can easily fit 3 people per room. The bathrooms are large and the shower pressure was wonderful. Two of three bedrooms have a small terrace. There is a spacious dining and living room between the bedrooms. WiFi was readily available. After another 10 steps, you will find a large terrace with a big plunge pool, 8 lounge chairs, and 2 sitting areas to view the large expanse of the Meditteranean sea. It was the perfect place to sit both day and night. There were plenty of lights available as well as candles available should you need that. There is a small lemon grove with a hammock as well. We were incredibly happy with the service and the location of the villa. Our hosts were attentative to our every need and were quick to respond to any of our requests. There is a great restaurant about a 2 minute walk from the villa (La Moressa) and the supermarket (Tutto o Tutti) is about a 3 minute walk from the villa. The supermarket was well supplied and we were able to get everything we needed, from wine and cheese to paper towels. We loved walking around and looking at the local churches and found the people to be friendly and helpful. It was the perfect location and easily accessible for all of our activities. We look forward to staying there again for our next Amalfi coast adventure!

Underbart boende i hjärtat av Praiano
Villa Volare ligger vackert och centralt i Praiano med bara ett par hundra meter till både mataffär och några restauranger. Villan är underbar med tre stora sovrum med egna badrum och samtliga med AC, två av dem med balkonger ut mot havet. Två ordentliga uteplatser, den ena en trappa upp med pool och två olika sittgrupper med underbar utsikt över havet. Köket är helt okej utrustat men med slöa knivar som vi anade och hade därför med egna. Spisen med gasolplattor tog en god stund att värma upp vid matlagning men helt okej. En ismaskin som delas med huset under var en riktig bonus. Boendet erbjöd både poolhanddukar, tvättmaskin, diskmaskin och en stor gasolgrill vid en av uteplatserna. Ägaren Paolo Giovanni var en trevlig man som var lätt att prata med på engelska och gav oss all information vi behövde. Vårt sällskap på 2 vuxna med fyra unga vuxna trivdes som fisken i vattnet och skulle gärna bo där igen! Boendet är t o m snäppet bättre i verkligheten än i annons och bilder. Att villan ligger några branta trappsteg upp och att Praiano är backigt visste vi om sedan tidigare besök men man ska vara medveten om att det inte är lämpligt för rörelsehindrade eller folk i dålig kondition. Men för oss helt underbart och förhoppningsvis kommer vi till Praiano igen och gärna Villa Volare!

Traum-Urlaub!
Schönes, typisches Haus mit vor allem hervorragenden Aussenbereichen und einem schönen Pool. Die Sicht über die Praiano und die Amalfi-Küste ist schlicht umwerfend. Man muss allerdings keine Angst vor dem Treppensteigen haben ;-)

Wonderful spacious home, but pool deck best of all!!
We loved staying at Villa Giampa. Only warning - I’d heard 62 steps to reach it. It’s actually 172 from where you get dropped off. It was fie for burning off all of the delicious pasta we’ve been eating, but definitely do your quarts & step-ups before coming! Spent hours upstairs sitting in the shade or floating in the pool, always enjoying that incredible view! Super convenient to the bus stop, market and wonderful restaurant, La Moressa. We hope to return soon!
