Il Nido di Cupido - Holiday home at Albori

Small paradise above the sea

Il Nido di Cupido (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 is dedicated to Cupid, the God of Love in Roman mythology, and 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.  

Il Nido di Cupido is a romantic refuge where you can spend relaxed days at the Amalfi Coast. Nevertheless, the world famous towns of Amalfi, Ravello and Positano are easy to reach by car or by boat from Salerno.  

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.

Tips for excursions

Ideal for those who love hiking: start directly from your holiday home towards the „Cesare“-spring, which has its source in Monte Falerio and is part of the oasis „Parco Croce“.

The daughter of the well-known philosopher Benedetto Croce committed the oasis to the organization WWF to guarantee the protection of the area. Part of the park consists of Mediterranean forest, another of the Amalfi Coast’s typical terraces. 

Don’t miss out on a visit to the village of Vietri sul Mare only 4 km off and famous for its ceramics factories. Stroll through the alleys and marvel at the colorful, hand-painted tiles which adorn almost every house at the Amalfitana.

It is about 22 km to Amalfi, which is rich in history, which once was a great maritime power and which is the eponym of the coast. A must-see for those who love culture and history: the majestic cathedral of Amalfi!
