The fjord
Furore
Furore is the least known town on the Amalfi Coast: a handful of houses on the rock above a deep gorge, with no real center and off the tourist routes.

The guide
What Furore is like.
Its fjord is a cascade of olive trees and vines plunging into the sea. This is where Roberto Rossellini filmed 'Amore' and lived a stormy affair with Anna Magnani — later, Ingrid Bergman bought the house where they stayed (Villa della Storta). Once an impregnable stronghold under Amalfi’s Republic.
Good to know
- Hike down to the Fiordo early morning — it gets crowded and loses sun by midday.
- MarMeeting cliff diving (July): divers jump from the 30 m bridge into the fjord, and it is free to watch.
- Visit Marisa Cuomo’s cantina: the 'Fior d’Uva' is one of southern Italy’s finest whites, and you can only really appreciate the terraced vineyards in person.
- Furore has no shops or services — bring what you need.
CervinskiWhat to see
4 things, in walking order
- Fiordo di FuroreA hidden beach wedged between towering rock walls, reached by 200 steps from the road. The 30m-high bridge above hosts the MarMeeting world cliff diving championship every July.
- Eco-museo del FiordoAn open-air museum in the gorge: ancient paper mill, water mill, botanical garden, and restored 'monazzeni' — the old fishermen’s stone houses.
- Marisa Cuomo WineryThe most celebrated winery on the coast. Vineyards carved into rock crevices produce the cult 'Fior d’Uva' — a white fermented in wood, unique in the world. Visits and tastings available.
- Painted WallsMurals covering buildings and walls throughout the scattered village — an open-air art gallery.
Where to eat
The ones we would send a friend to
- Hostaria di BaccoPerched on the hills above the fjord with a sea-view terrace. Traditional peasant cuisine and an extraordinary wine cellar featuring Marisa Cuomo’s bottles. Family-run for generations.
