The Amalfi Coast and Positano


Enjoy the nightly breeze at Volare

What to do on the Amalfi Coast and where to stay....

Boat Trip and Visit to Capri
While visiting the Amalfi Coast, don’t miss the Isle of Capri. It's only a short boat ride away from either Amalfi or Sorrento. Take a boat excursion around the island; you'll see some magnificent scenery.

While staying at Villa la Madonnina enjoy your own private access to the sea. Villa la Madonnina is positioned for great dramatic effect on a natural terrace, just meters above the sparkling blue of the Gulf of Salerno.

You can also see spectacular views of the sea from the sun terrace of
The Rocks.

Boat Trip and Blue Grotto
A popular attraction, the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) sea cave is known for its luminous blue water. See it by boat (they leave daily from the main harbor of Capri.)

Villa Volare and Villa Amore are two of the most desirable villas in the most beautiful settings on the Amalfi Coast. Volare which sleeps 9 is surrounded by greenery and it is very private, elegantly furnished with all the comforts and a beautiful view from every room with sea access. Amore is an exclusive villa with spectacular views and pool in Positano for 7-8 people. The villa comes with a cook and maid service.

Villa Santa Croce is a stunning property set just above Positano like a jewel in a crown, offering views of the sparkling Mediterranean and the isle
of Capri.

Pompeii
Buried in 79 A.D. under ash and mud when nearby Mt. Vesuvius erupted, the ancient Roman town of Pompeii (La città di Pompei) was not rediscovered until the 18th century. Today, you can visit the remains of its forum, shops, homes, and theaters, and imagine what life was like in this prosperous community.

Terrace Views from the Rocks

Ravello Church (Duomo)
If you travel by car from Amalfi, you'll encounter hairpin turns on the way to the breathtaking town of Ravello, which overlooks the sea. You can also take a half-hour bus ride from Amalfi to the main square, Piazza Vescovado, near the Duomo.

On the Sicilian Coast....

Sicily is a marvelous island, truly a garden of beautiful flowers growing both wild in its fields and around its archaeological sites and in beautifully tended gardens. There are actually more intact Greek temples here than there are in Greece.

Indeed, because of the island's strategic location in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea it was often conquered and traces are evident of all the major European and Mediterranean civilizations.
