Il Nido di Cupido

Small paradise above the sea

Il Nido di Cupido (in English: Cupid’s Nest) lies embedded like a nest in the lush green landscape of Monte Falerio, home mountain of the picturesque mountain village of Albori. The name of the holiday home which is dedicated to Cupid, the God of Love in Roman mythology, seems very suitable.  

For the restoration of the house, the owners, natives of Albori, have used only natural material such as natural stone and wood, which harmonize perfectly with the untouched environs. Inside the house, floors of Vietri tiles so typical for the Amalfi coast and antique terracotta provide for a Southern Italian atmosphere you feel at ease in.  

Thus, a romantic shelter has been created where you can spend relaxed days at the Amalfi coast; nevertheless, it is only a few minutes by car from the world famous towns of Amalfi, Ravello and Positano.  

With its intact, medieval town center and its appealing location between sea and mountains, Albori is indeed worth a journey. It is not without reason that Albori is called "uno dei borghi più belli d'Italia", one of Italy’s most beautiful villages.
