Villa Il Mignale, so named for its unique history, is a castle-like property entirely at guests’ disposal, featuring a separate entrance. The villa features 2 double bedrooms (one with an en suite bathroom) and 1 single bedroom, a kitchen-living room, and a main bathroom. It is surrounded by spacious private terraces, tastefully furnished with Vietri ceramic tile floors, and equipped with all the amenities you could need. Access is via 50 steps leading through a large garden with lemon trees and native plants, equipped with a barbecue, table, and chairs for outdoor dining. On the upper level is a spacious sun terrace for the exclusive use of guests, furnished with garden furniture, a gazebo, deck chairs, and lounge chairs.
Just 50 meters from the villa is an old tavern-restaurant, where the cuisine features local specialties and local D.O.C. wine. Nearby you’ll find: a pizzeria-restaurant, a grocery store and other shops, a post office, an ATM, a pharmacy, an Info Point, a wine bar, and various other stores.
Villa il Mignale is located in the heart of Furore, known to tourists as the “painted village” of the Amalfi Coast for its impressive open-air art gallery featuring over a hundred paintings and sculptures found in the town squares and on the facades of the houses. Furore, perched on one of the most beautiful roads in the world, sheer-sided over the sea and offering breathtaking views, is an irresistible stretch of the Amalfi Coast. This land of wine and art was originally called Terra Furoris because of the roar produced by the sea as it crashed against the high walls of the fjord. In this region, however, the true attraction is the natural environment and the extraordinary panorama that opens up onto the sea, with a view that plunges straight down to the Amalfi Coast. The mild climate, the historical and culinary heritage, and the natural spectacles of this land have sparked the imagination of writers, filmmakers, and poets. And “it is HERE that nature’s favorite creation is clearly recognized” (Pliny the Elder, 1st century A.D.). HERE you can admire churches and bell towers, vineyards and gardens, terraces and pergolas, hills and winding roads that plunge down to the sea, which, seen from up here at night, resembles an upside-down sky studded with the lights of the fishing boats. From HERE, you can easily reach famous destinations such as the Furore Fjord, Amalfi, Positano, Praiano, Ravello, the Sorrento Peninsula, Capri, and even Naples, Mount Vesuvius, Pompeii, and Herculaneum. Let yourself be swept away by that profound sense of wonder that you can only experience here... YOU CAN HERE!
Getting around by car is definitely much easier on the Amalfi Coast, which is why a car is highly recommended. The bus stop is 50 meters away: the SITAbus public bus line connects Furore with Amalfi. From Amalfi, you can travel (by sea or by land) to other coastal towns such as Positano, Praiano, Ravello, and Sorrento. During the summer, traveling by sea is highly recommended, whether by public ferry or private boat, which offer the chance to take mini-cruises along the coast, private tours, and excursions to Capri. The taxi service is also very efficient.
