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 from Roman mythology, and seems very fitting.  

Il Nido di Cupido is a romantic refuge at "uno dei borghi più belli d'Italia" with intact, medieval center and in appealing location between sea and mountains.  

The solely natural material, such as wood and natural stone, the owners, natives of Albori, used when renovating the house harmonizes perfectly with the untouched environs. Inside, the Vietri tile floors so typical for the Amalfi Coast and antique terracotta make for Southern Italian feel-good atmosphere.  

You enter Il Nido di Cupido via the partly roofed front terrace. The ca. 50 m² of living space include a living room with sofa bed for the third person.

The kitchen with high-quality stone worktop, 4-burner gas stove, oven and fridge-freezer offers access of a washroom with washing machine.

The tastefully furnished bedroom with double bed and wardrobe has an en suite bathroom with shower cabin/WC/bidet/hair dryer and opens onto the rear terrace.

The outdoor area includes a small lawn and two partly roofed terraces with garden furniture, grill and outdoor shower. It is a wonderful place where you can relax in the midst of lush green.

The roof terrace might be the right place to enjoy mild summer evenings, a glass of wine and the charming atmosphere at sunset.

The holiday home also features air-conditioning with heating device in the living-dining room and the bedroom, fireplace, TV, radio and CD player. You can park your car along the road outside the town center. Upon request and prior reservation a reserved parking space might be available for a fee.

Tips for excursions

For those who love hiking: Start directly from Il Nido di Cupido towards the "Cesare"-spring, which has its source in Monte Falerio and is part of the oasis "Parco Croce". The daughter of well-known philosopher Benedetto Croce committed the oasis to the WWF to guarantee protection of the area. In the park you find both Mediterranean forest and the terraces typical for the Costiera amalfitana. 

Vietri sul Mare, only 4 km off and famous for its ceramics factories, is surely worth stopping by. Stroll through the alleys and marvel at all the colorful, hand-painted tiles; they adorn almost every house at the Amalfitana.

It is about 22 km to Amalfi - rich in history, once was a great maritime power and the eponym of the coast. A closer look at Amalfi's majestic cathedral is a must for those who love culture and history.
