Furore Grand Hotel is putting its teeny, tiny, teetering namesake town on the map, especially for well-seasoned Amalfitani in search of a lesser-known spot along this enduringly alluring stretch of coastline. Almost invisible from the road, the hotel’s whitewashed rooms and suites elegantly spill out over nine terraces descending towards the Tyrrhenian Sea, creating the illusion of being on a wave-lapped Greek island. Leaning into Hellenic minimalism, it’s a refreshing departure from the classic Amalfi palette – giving guests blue-and-white tunnel vision (through limoncello-tinted glasses). And like a Greek goddess, the shimmering infinity pools, alfresco dining spaces, and Valmont-stocked spa are sure to keep you endlessly captivated.

Our favourite rooms

Partial sea views, begone. Great swathes of sapphire-blue stretch as far as the eye can see from every room and suite at Furore Grand Hotel, which puts the Tyrrhenian Sea on full, glorious display at every turn. Several suites put the pleasure in leisure-time with private Jacuzzis and plunge pools – the Signature Pool Suites feel like self-contained villas, opening out onto sun-drenched Mediterranean gardens with more of those impossibly blue views.

Poolside

The main infinity pool (open daily from 9am to 7pm) looks like a Cycladic pin-up, dressed all in white with floating sunbeds, sleek parasols, and eye-pleasingly clean lines. There are no Amalfi clichés like oversized lemon trees and brightly-painted ceramics to distract your gaze from the shimmering blue hues of the Tyrrhenian Sea. For more secluded dips, there’s another (smaller) infinity pool on a separate terrace, which catches the very last of the golden sunsets.

Spa

There’s seeking shade, and then there’s heading down to the Petra Mare subterranean spa – a moodily-lit respite from the Amalfi heat. Flickering candles and lanterns are dotted around the indoor saltwater pool (open daily from 9am to 7pm), and thick, exposed-stone walls keep the space deliciously cool. But if it’s warmth you’re after, there’s a sauna, steam room, heated whirlpool, and hammam to luxuriate in – and a team of personal trainers and yoga and pilates instructors on hand for private classes in the stylish TechnoGym. Soothing Valmont rituals are delivered in the spa’s five treatment rooms, including radiance-boosting facials and skin-toning massages.

Packing tips

Bring a film camera and channel your inner Slim Aarons; recreate the photographer’s iconic aerial Amalfi shots from the hotel’s roof terrace, looking onto the twinkling infinity pools below.

Also

If you’re one of the lucky Furore Lodge residents, you’ll have exclusive access to your own relaxation room (because a stand-alone villa isn’t serene enough as it is, right?)

Pet‐friendly

Well behaved dogs (weighing under 12 kilogrammes) are welcome to stay in any room here for an additional charge of €50 (a night, each pet). See more pet-friendly hotels in Amalfi Coast.

Children

Extra beds can be added to some of the larger suites; babysitting is available on request.

Sustainability efforts

Furore Grand Hotel puts the Amalfi sunshine to good use with its solar-panelled rooftop, providing a renewable source of energy for the majority of the property. You’ll also find eco-friendly, refillable amenities in the bathrooms, and the restaurants exclusively work with locally sourced ingredients.

Food and Drink

Top Table

Anywhere on the terrace to drink in those Tyrrhenian Sea views.

Dress Code

Whatever Sophia Loren and Carlo Ponti would have worn on a dinner date.

Hotel restaurant

Dining at Furore Grand Hotel takes two delightful forms – meals are long, leisurely and alfresco at Acquarasa, the hotel’s casual terrace restaurant open for all-day local classics. Bluh Furore is a more formal affair, overseen by Italy’s most Michelin-starred chef, Enrico Bartolini. Each tasting course (including a dedicated vegetarian menu) takes diners on a culinary journey along the Amalfi Coast, never straying far from authentic local flavours (but with a few swish techniques thrown in for good measure).

Hotel bar

From aperitivo hour onwards, the clinking of limoncello spritzers can be heard all along the Amalfi Coast – but you need not venture far from your poolside lounger for sundowners – or indeed the perfect cappuccino. And why wait, when the hotel’s smartly-styled Ria bar is open all day long? (You’ll find it’s always Aperol o’clock in this part of Italy anyway).

Last orders

Breakfast is from 7.30am to 10.30am, lunch is from noon to 3pm, and dinner from 7pm to 11pm (until midnight at Acquarasa).

Room service

Light bites can be delivered to your room round-the-clock.

Grand Hotel Furore is smack-bang in the middle of the Amalfi Coast, mere minutes from Positano and Sorrento and yet blissfully under-the-radar.

Planes

Naples is the closest international airport, just under an hour’s drive from the hotel. Furore Grand can help with private transfers for an extra charge.

Trains

There aren’t any direct trains between Naples and Furore, but you can travel to Via Nocera (a 45-minute train ride) then it’s just 25 minutes to the hotel by car.

Automobiles

Amalfi road trips are legendary for good reason, and the zig-zagging Campania coastal road to Furore is a particularly scenic self-drive stretch (just prepare yourself for the hair-pin bends and tooting scooters). There’s valet parking at the hotel for €50 a day.

Other

Ask the hotel about helicopter transfers if you’d like to avoid the gravity-defying roads.

Worth getting out of bed for

Much of Furore’s charm lies in its relative obscurity to its Amalfi Coast counterparts; the glitterati are drawn to nearby Positano, Sorrento, and Amalfi itself – leaving Furore for the locals and an in-the-know crowd. Mostly on the map for its tiny beach which is fed by the Furore Fjord beneath a fairy-tale bridge, this sleepy fishing village is a haven for swimmers and sunbathers (just be sure to arrive early as the beach is shaded by the towering cliffs come the afternoon). If you’re feeling more spritely, there are several hiking trails to take from Furore, which are mapped and marked out by the Club Alpino Italiano (the wonderfully-named ‘Fishing Vixen’ and ‘Crazy Bats’ routes begin at the Fjord and climb high into the cliffside, winding through fragrant woodland, mystical caves, and abandoned fishermen’s huts). Make the most of the hotel’s free shuttle service for day-trips to Amalfi and Positano, but ideally you’ll want to secure a spot on a yacht to see this rugged coastline from its most ‘grammable angle – from the water, of course. The hotel has several skippers on speed dial for half- and full-day boat trips, including island-hopping to nearby Capri and Ischia.

Local restaurants

The hotel’s two restaurants should mostly keep you wined and dined, but should you wish to venture out for lunch we’d recommend Ristorante al Fiordo – which is, you guessed it, perched above the Fjord. The sea views are as spectacular as you’d expect, and the colourful ceramic platters are piled high with freshly-caught seafood and zesty pasta. Follow in the film-star-studded footsteps of Roberto Rossellini and Anna Magnani to Hostaria Baccofurore, where they took breaks from the L’Amore set on the panoramic terrace, reading lines over linguine al limone and citrus-yellow negronis. You can also stock up on beautiful, hand-blown bottles of grappa and locally grown wines from Marisa Cuomo just behind the restaurant.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this clifftop retreat on the Amalfi Coast and unpacked their hand-painted ceramics and limoncello, a full account of their dolce-vita-inducing break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Furore Grand Hotel in Italy…

As the aperol-fuelled crowds descend on the Amalfi Coast each summer, guests at the tucked-away Furore Grand Hotel can sleep ever-so-satisfyingly (read: smugly) with the knowledge that they’ve hit upon somewhere that’s actually off the tourist trail. Admittedly, Furore isn’t the easiest to get to (steeper-than-steep cliff roads zig-zag all the way up to this scattered seaside town, and its beach is only accessible via a plunging set of steps) but perhaps that’s why it’s retained its hidden-treasure status – at an idyllic distance from the high-season droves. And the Hellenic-esque haven atop Crevano Hill that awaits you is worth every second of navigating those clutch-challenging roads. A vertiginous vision in white, Furore Grand Hotel feels like a sugar cube about to melt into the Tyrrhenian Sea – staggered over several stone terraces fringed with Mediterranean plants and olive trees. Time grinds to a blissful halt here, where the hours are whiled away devouring gelato by the infinity pools, dozing off during lemon-infused massages, and just generally drinking in the good life – one granita cocktail at a time.
