Agriturismo Sant'Alfonso

We stay at the Agriturismo Sant’Alfonso as part of a G-Adventures group tour. The location in Furore is slightly out of the way. This Agriturismo is family owned and run by a couple. The views from here overlooking the coast are amazing. The Agriturismo itself is peaceful and quiet. The 120 steps up/down to it isn’t for everyone and if you have mobility issues, I wouldn’t recommend it. The rooms could be better as the temperature is poorly regulated (you either are too cold or too hot). The floors are tiled and can get quite chilly at night. The moist issue within the bathroom (walls sweating) and flow always seemed wet didn’t make for a completely comfortable stay. The owners are present most of the day, but not accommodating if you stay on site not joining the daily tour. You will be charged for extra tea, lunch, and snacks. This wasn’t made clear until checking out. Finally, this time of the year control burning takes place leading to poor air quality and smoky air. This isn’t the Agriturismo fault but something to consider if you have respiratory issues. We would chose another stay next time.

We stayed in this special place for a week as part of a G Adventures tour. The views from the property are incredible, and it's a great base for hiking adventures, including to The Path of the Gods or to Mount Tre Calli. It's a family-run agriturismo, and the staff and family work hard at all aspects of hosting. The service was excellent and there were tasty breakfasts every morning, with a huge assortment of sweet and savory items, and fresh farm eggs that were cooked to order. Every night, there were delicious gourmet three-course dinners (like a pasta or risotto to start, a meat dish like pork or lamb chops, followed by a dessert like panna cotta or tiramisu.) The evening server Antonio was very attentive and knew each room number for drink orders from day one. We were enthralled by the quaintness of it all... from the luggage shuttle up and down the hill, to the 120 steps down to the property, to the history of the agriturismo and a viewing of the historic manual grape press in the cellar, and to a cooking demo by owners, Nicolo and Michaela. Thank you for this wonderful stay.

Couple of nights in November This charming venue exceeded our expectations. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The food is outstanding, locally sourced and plenty of it. The views are excellent, and the family are friendly.

This place is so unbelievably special! At the top of a seaside cliff, at the feet of the Path of the Gods, you will find a delightful family occupying a farm that has served many purposes over the last 600 years or more, including a monastery. The scenery is rivaled only by the service. The meals are amazingly fresh and delicious, the wine list is formidable and well-priced, the house wine made from on-property grapes rivals anything we tasted at fancy restaurants in Amalfi or Positano, and the pasta…. Ohhhh the pasta. I may work the rest of my life trying to recreate it. The accommodations are simple but clean and elegant. The pillows are memory foam, the air conditioning is a welcome respite from a hot summer day, and the family running this delightful business is ready and able to accommodate any need. Do yourself a favor and spend a night or six like we did. You will not regret it!

Beautiful location and wonderful family hosts. Would highly recommend when in Furore. Location is up on top of the mountain on a working farm. Views from every direction. Good food served at breakfast lunch and dinner. The small above ground pool was a huge plus as southern Italy is very hot in the summer months.

5 Sterne reichen bei Weitem nicht aus. Das Essen- spektakulär, die Besitzer- unglaublich familienfreundlich, die Gegend- absolut atemberaubend. Die Anfahrt so wie der kleine Weg über die Treppen lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Vielen Dank für den schönen Abend
