Welcome to Bed and Breakfast Holidays Fico D'India! This new type of lodging offers travelers the chance to get to know the 'real' Italy. Furore is just 5 km from Amalfi center.
Villa Annalara is located on a steep rock, 'la Villa', suspended between the mountains and the sea, in the historical centre, in a particularly suggestive position.
5 minutes from Amalfi, your car left in a comfortable parking, you can start enjoying a caracteristic walk (around 300 steps) between typical Amalfi lemon trees.
West of Amalfi town, rising into the mountains among lemon trees and vineyards, you encounter the historical hamlets of Pastena, Pogerola, Lone, Vettica, and Tovere.
Occupying the southern side of the Sorrento peninsula, the Amalfi coast lays claim to be Italy’s most beautiful stretch of coast. Don’t miss its corniche road winding around the towering cliffs – an incredible ride. The most famous location along this coastline is possibly Positano with its pyramid high above the water, that has inspired a thousand picture postcards. But for food and accommodation we do recommend the more unexpensive and bigger town of Amalfi, an established seaside resort since Edwardian times, when the British upper class spent their winters here.
Once an independant republic in Byzantine times, Amalfi was one of the four great naval powers (others were Genoa, Venice and Pisa) with a population of some seventy thousand. Vanquished by the Normans in 1131, it was devastated by an earthquake in 1343. A few remnants of its past glories survived suc has the Duomo. Today Amalfi survives as a fanciful and mollified town, attracting passive lingerers who stroll along the beautiful bayside promenades.
