The Property — Il Nespolo
Il Nespolo is a modest 3-star hotel perched on the Amalfi Coast's steep cliffs in the quiet hamlet of Furore. Its USP is the peaceful fjord-side location away from Positano's crowds, with a small pool and terraced gardens. The lobby feels like a rural farmhouse – tiled floors, wooden beams, and a casual reception desk – not a slick, designer space. It suits independent travellers who want a calm base for exploring the coast by car or bus, not five-star pampering.
Chronicles of Furore
Furore is a scattered mountain village, not a typical coastal town, founded in the 11th century as a farming and fishing settlement. Its signature is the 'Fiordo di Furore', a deep inlet carved by the Schiato River, spanned by a high-arched bridge. The hamlet's architecture is sparse: whitewashed houses and small churches clinging to the cliffs, avoiding the tourist-heavy development of Amalfi proper. Modern Furore remains quiet, known for its annual 'Marina di Praia' beach events and its role as a film backdrop for 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' (1999). Today, it's a rural escape for travellers seeking peace, with most residents still working in agriculture and small-scale hospitality.
Best Time to Visit
Full Furore guide →Best months
May and September – warm, sunny days (22-28°C), lower humidity, and noticeably thinner crowds on the Amalfi Coast roads and beaches.
Peak / festival surge
July and August – high summer brings heat (30°C+), full occupancy at Il Nespolo, and hotel prices double from shoulder rates. The main local event is the Festa di San Giovanni (24 June) in nearby Amalfi, but July itself has no major festival – the crush is tourist demand for beach holidays.
Budget shoulder season
April and October – hotel rates drop 30-50%, weather is mild (15-24°C), but October carries a risk of rain and shorter daylight hours.
Weather & packing
Furore's microclimate is humid and coastal, with occasional sudden sea breezes even in July. Pack a light jumper or shawl for evenings on the terrace, and always bring a reusable water bottle to fill at the hotel's drinking water taps.
Live City Briefing — Furore
- The SITA bus route (Amalfi-Agerola) now stops at a new shelter near the 'Fiordo' bridge, improving access to Il Nespolo from Amalfi town.
- A new pedestrian walkway from the hotel to the beach (Marina di Praia) opened in March 2026, cutting the cliffside descent time to 5 minutes.
- Summer 2026 sees a trial of paid parking zones in Furore's main square (Piazza San Giacomo) costing €3/hour – book hotel parking in advance.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Il Nespolo, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the second or third floor facing the back garden. These give you the best trade-off between view and quiet — you get the garden outlook without the street rumble, and being higher up avoids any ground-level dampness.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor front rooms facing Via Nespoli. The street is narrow and carries local traffic (delivery vans, scooters) from early morning, and ground-level rooms suffer from passers-by noise and limited privacy. Also skip any room directly above the small breakfast area (likely on the ground floor) — kitchen prep noise starts before 7am.
Best views
The best view is from upper-floor rear rooms overlooking the hotel's terraced garden and olive grove — you can see down the valley towards the Amalfi Coast. Front rooms on the upper floors see the narrow street and the opposite cliffside houses, which is less inspiring.
Quietest floors
Second and third floors are the quietest. The building is three storeys (no lift, typical for 3-star in this area), so you're away from street level without being at the top where roof fixtures or water tanks can hum.
🔊 Noise notes
Via Nespoli is a local road used by residents and delivery trucks for the town's shops — expect early-morning van traffic around 6:30-7:30am. The hotel's own kitchen extraction fan can hum on the east side from 6am. Weekend evenings sometimes bring echoes from the small piazza about 50m up the street.
Insider tips
1. Park in the public lot at Via Casa D'Amato (200m away) — Via Nespoli is tight for cars and the hotel has very limited off-street parking. 2. If you need help with luggage, call the hotel ahead: no lift, stairs are narrow, and the helpful owner often carries bags but sometimes steps out.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

No high street chains in Furore; head to Amalfi (10 min drive) for a few small boutiques or to Salerno for larger options.
Local SITA bus along the Amalfi coast (€1.50-3 per ride, day pass ~€7-10). From Naples airport, take the Curreri shuttle bus to Sorrento or Amalfi (about €10-12 one way) — cheaper than taxi or private transfer.
Eat at bars or bakeries for breakfast/lunch instead of sit-down restaurants. Fill up a reusable water bottle at public fountains (free in most towns). Book grocery shopping and cook in your accommodation if it has a kitchen.

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Naples Airport or Naples Central Station (Garibaldi) → Hotel La Vela, Furore
💡 From Naples Airport, take Alibus to Garibaldi station (€5, 15 mins). Then SITA bus to Amalfi (€10, 1.5 hrs). At Amalfi, switch to SITA bus heading west (Valle delle Ferriere line) and ask the driver to drop you at the Furore–La Vela stop. Validate your ticket before boarding — fines are harsh.
Naples International Airport (NAP) → Hotel La Vela, Furore
💡 Book a fixed-rate private transfer online in advance to avoid surge pricing. The driver will meet you at arrivals with a name board, and the coastal road to Furore has stunning views but tight bends — a taxi handles luggage better than a bus.
Naples Central Station (Garibaldi) → Hotel La Vela, Furore
💡 Take the Circumvesuviana train from Naples to Sorrento (€4, 1 hr). Then catch SITA bus west along the SS163 coastal road. Get off at the Furore–La Vela stop — it’s right opposite the hotel. The train can be crowded and hot; travel early or late to get a seat.
Naples International Airport (NAP) → Hotel La Vela, Furore
💡 Use curbside companies like Positano Shuttle or Amalfi Coast Transfers. They’ll drop you directly at the hotel door. The minibus is tight with suitcases, so pack light. Reserve at least 24 hours ahead, especially in summer.

Top Attractions in Furore
💡 Look for the tiny metal sign near the bakery. The echo under the arches makes it a good spot for a reflective pause or a phone photo.
💡 Ask the caretaker (often at the adjacent house) for the key if it's locked. The frescoes are worth the ask.
💡 Call ahead (+39 089 874 123) to confirm opening times, as hours vary wildly with volunteers. No entry fee, but donations welcome.
💡 Start at the junction near the 'Punta San Domenico' sign. Bring water and good shoes – the path is uneven but not steep here.
💡 Go early in the morning before tour buses arrive. In summer, walk through the tunnel to the small beach for a spot of quiet swimming.
