What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
the white-on-white décor inside the hotel; the rooms are modern but warm and welcoming, and the public spaces are fashionably minimalistic.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The village of Furore sits far above the coastal crowds, with steep walking trails winding down to a hidden sea fjord.
The rooms
Every room opens onto a sea-view balcony laid with hand-painted Vietri tiles, and select suites add private plunge pools.
The infinity pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Submerged daybeds line the 1,000-square-meter infinity pool, set along the cliff edge with an outdoor Kneipp hydrotherapy path.
The spa and gym
An arched portal leads to the subterranean heated pool, and exercise machines sit outside on an open-air timber deck.
At the table
Open-air terraces host sunset aperitivos at Ria Lounge Bar, and Michelin-starred Bluh Furore serves regional tasting menus overlooking the sea.
Furore Grand Hotel, opened in 2024 by three brothers with deep roots on the Amalfi Coast, has a modern, whitewashed design with locally inspired touches like tile floors made in Vietri sul Mare.
How it began
Three local brothers revived the site after a decade of abandonment, remaking the cliffside property through a four-year renovation.
