Dancing Tides

Settings don’t come much more picturesque than the Amalfi Coast, and this beautiful home just outside Furore – between Amalfi and Positano – perfectly encapsulates all the wild beauty of this romantic coastline.

Perched 350 metres above sea level, the home’s picture windows and terraced gardens offer panoramic views over the Tyrrhenian Sea, creating the most scenic backdrop imaginable. Choose one of the outdoor tables at which to enjoy a sunny breakfast before catching some rays on the perfectly positioned sun loungers. Then slip on your walking shoes to descend the 1,000-step path down to the sea where the idyllic Fiordo di Furore and its magical beach await.

In the evenings, fire up the barbecue for an alfresco feast under the pergola and watch the sunset over the horizon while you sip a glass of crisp white wine. The main bedroom’s private balcony provides the ideal spot for a final nightcap before retreating to the comfortable beds for a blissful night’s sleep.

When it comes to other sightseeing gems nearby, you’re just a ten-minute walk from Furore’s centre, while Amalfi is a twenty-minute drive away. Positano is just over forty a forty-minute drive too, and Naples – with its intoxicating blend of Old World charm and modern grit – is an hour and fifteen minutes away by car.
