About this property

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.

We loved our stay at Villa Volare
We loved our stay at Villa Volare. The highlight is the outdoor space, which is where we spent most of our time. The views were so beautiful and the location was so quiet and away from the crowds. After a long day of crowds and stairs we would swim and enjoy the amazing views and peace and quiet Villa Volare offered. The owners were very nice and met us there to show us around and give us all the information needed for our stay. As many mention the stairs are something to be aware of when choosing this location. The whole area is stairs not just the villa. That is the price you pay for those kinds of views. Summer In Italy was incredibly helpful during the whole process of planning our time in Italy. They made wonderful recommendations on car services, boat excursions and details about the area. I will be recommending Summer In Italy to everyone!

Our group of 4 adults loved staying at Villa Volare! The location was excellent in a nice, quiet village and the VIEWS were phenomenal! We so enjoyed spending time on the terraces relaxing, eating meals, and just taking in the fabulous area. The little grocery was a short walk away and there were many restaurants within a short distance. Would highly recommend! Excellent service from Summer In Italy, very communicative, and enjoyed the newsletter with tips and advice. Also appreciated their recommendations for transfers and private chef. Would definitely use again!

What a great place to stay
What a great place to stay. I can't think of a single thing that I would change about the house. Everything was exactly as pictured in the listing. Kitchen was well-equipped. Pool was great, view was great... Everything was fabulous. The owner met us and directed us to the house... Very responsive. He had clearly thought about what guests would want. I found Summer In Italy to be responsive and the whole process was straightforward. No surprises.

Villa Volare exceeded our expectations on almost every front
Villa Volare exceeded our expectations on almost every front. Views were spectacular - particularly of the sunrises every day! Group of 6 adults never felt like we were in each other’s way - always a place for everyone to find peace and quiet when required and enough space for group games time. Summer In Italy selection of properties met our needs. Staff were very attentive to all questions asked.

Villa Volare is a beautiful location with panoramic views over Praiano and the ocean
Villa Volare is a beautiful location with panoramic views over Praiano and the ocean. We stayed there with our children aged 9 and 13 and loved it. The property is perfect. You can spend plenty of time relaxing and looking out over the balcony as daily local life ticks by. The bedrooms have high ceilings and stay cool, with their own little terraces with seating and views, each with an en suite which is also very pleasant. The kitchen is large and well equipped, the outside dining on the lower terrace is also an enjoyable spot to look out over the ocean. After a few days, you being to integrate into the slow rhythm of life of Praiano, and start to feel a part of it as you wander through the local alleyways and stairs which join the community. Booking process and communication with Summer In Italy was excellent throughout. Fast responses to any questions, with emergency contact numbers available if needed. Would recommend.

What a fantastic villa
What a fantastic villa. We enjoyed our stay very much. We had 4 adults and 4 children and were very comfortable. The location is perfect. Steps from a grocery and a 10-15 minute walk to the marina. Hands down the best part of the stay was the top terrace. The pool was a welcome relief from the walk home. The view is stunning and it’s very quiet. This was our second trip to Praiano and I can’t recommend a stay at Villa Volare more.

We spent a wonderful week at Villa Volare and the location was perfect
We spent a wonderful week at Villa Volare and the location was perfect. The huge terrace, breathtaking views and pool made us feel like we were in paradise and the steps are worth it. We loved that unlike many of the other popular towns it's tranquil and homy and less touristy. One night we were treated to an amazing concert at the local church, while we were sitting on the terrace. We had a great vacation and would definitely stay here again. The owner, Paolo is very helpful and responded to any questions quickly. He even helped arrange for our transfer to Naples with a stop in Pompeii. Made it a lot easier to arrange all the logistics. Summer In Italy was great to work with. Everyone on the team is very helpful and responsive and they offered many helpful suggestions for our stay.

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.

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!

Villa Volare is very welcoming, and there are all the comforts that a holiday home should have. The location is enchanting, and will allow you to enjoy the beautiful panorama of the gulf away from traffic noise and crowds.The beauty and tranquillity of the place will worth the number of steps you have to face to get to the property.

Villa Volare was my extended family’s home away from home for a week
Villa Volare was my extended family’s home away from home for a week. The villa was perfect for us and I would not hesitate to return or recommend to others. There was plenty of room for all of us and we never felt like we were on top of each other. The beds were on the firmer side but so comfortable. The bathrooms were very clean and 3 of the 4 were a good size. One shower was pretty small, but that room just showered in the full bath near the kitchen. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed and we cooked many of our meals there. The outdoor living space was where we spent most of our time. The adults lounged outside the kitchen at the outdoor dining table. The twins and teens spent their time up by the pool. The Wi-Fi worked only in an area of the villa. Just be aware in case you plan to check on business while you’re on holiday. Summer In Italy was great. A friend recommended them to us and they proved their worth. They are a well run and organized rental company. We enjoyed doing business with them and hope to do more in the future.
