DESCRIPTION OF THE VILLA

Perched on a cliffside between Amalfi and Positano, Villa Fortezza is a fully renovated period villa with air conditioning and heated infinity pool which enjoys a unique vista of the magnificent Amalfi coast and the proximity of shops, restaurant, wine bar and other amenities in Furore, just a short stroll away. Collect unforgettable memories as you enjoy luxury living at this fully staffed villa with daily breakfast and meals served on the terrace of your choice.

Originally designed as a fortress this unique property dates back to the 16th century and is built on several terraces, each affording spectacular views over the Mediterranean sea. Being partly dug into the rock, the interior of this villa features rocky ceilings and walls, which make it a fascinating place. Every corner of the villa boasts antiques, vaulted ceilings, precious chandeliers and hand-crafted furniture; a delight to explore! The exterior is equally enchanting with each terrace boasting an individual character: here you find romantic pergolas, comfortable sofas and a secluded courtyard guarding a lush scented garden stocked with lemon groves, aromatic plants, olive trees and a century old maritime pine tree.

Situated halfway between Amalfi and Positano, Villa Fortezza is strategically positioned to explore the most renowned destinations on the Amalfi coast. Within a radius of 15 km you can visit picturesque Praiano, Ravello, Positano, Amalfi and stroll along the narrow winding lanes flanked with the typical whitewashed houses, in search of unexpected panoramic viewpoints over the coast and the nearby islands. Capri, the most famous of all, is within easy reach via ferry or hydrofoil. Spend an exciting day out riding up and down the island on a Vespa for a unique Italian experience! And don’t forget to try an espresso in the famous Piazzetta, watching the world go by. The villa concierge service will help you plan your hassle-free trips and excursions whenever you wish.
