Additional Information

Nestled between Amalfi and Positano, Furore is often referred to as "the town that doesn't exist" due to its scattered houses perched on steep cliffs without a central square. The village's most iconic feature is the Fiordo di Furore, a deep gorge carved by the Schiato torrent, leading to a secluded pebble beach. This fjord has been a natural harbor and was historically significant for its paper mills and mills.

Furore is also known for its "en plein air" art gallery, featuring over one hundred murals and sculptures that adorn the village, making it a "painted village." These artworks add a vibrant touch to the already picturesque landscape.

For wine enthusiasts, the Marisa Cuomo Winery offers a chance to taste award-winning wines produced from grapes grown on steep terraces overlooking the sea. The unique microclimate and terrain contribute to the distinctive flavors of their wines.
