La Casa di Greta - Holiday apartment at Albori

A gem surrounded by the green of nature

On the eastern border of the world-famous Amalfi Coast, hidden in the green hills of Monti Lattari and overlooking the deep blue Mediterranean Sea, lies small Albori, one of the "borghi più belli d'Italia" and a bit forgotten, so it sometimes seems.

Time has not stood still there, but it does seem to pass more slowly than in other places. Instead of swanky SUVs, old Fiat Pandas and powered three-wheeled Apes with flatbed motor through the alleys. In the car-free village center, small houses in vivid colors pile up in winding terraced alleys.

On the outskirts of this peaceful village, holiday apartment La Casa di Greta lies surrounded by a large garden with vegetable patches, fig and olive trees and various herbs spreading a spicy aroma. Should you wish for peaceful, relaxing holidays, somewhat apart from the hustle and bustle of the Amalfi Coast, you might find this to be your ideal accommodation. La Casa di Greta is perfect for 2 persons.

Small holiday apartment with charm

The cozy kitchen-living-dining room is furnished with a couch and SAT-TV as well as dining furniture, the kitchen unit with, amongst others, 4-burner gas stove, oven and refrigerator with freezer compartment. An iron and an ironing board are also at your disposal.

The bedroom with sea view includes a double bed, a wardrobe, a small chest of drawers and TV, the bathroom shower cabin/WC/bidet and washing machine.

Your private outdoor area

La Casa di Greta is one of 3 apartments in the house; the other two are holiday apartment Primo Sole and the owners’ apartment. Each apartment has its separate, private outdoor area. The large garden is shared by all the residents.

Casa La Greta's outdoor area is a lovely terrace with garden furniture, sun shade, two loungers for sun worshippers and a magnificent view of both Albori and the sea.

Albori's medieval center is off limits to cars, public parking spaces are found along the road outside the village center. Upon request a resident parking permit might be available. 

Further information & tips for excursions

The main square of Albori with the church of Santa Margherita is only 500 m from the apartment. For a small in-between snack, we recommend Bruschetteria "Pub Albori", 300 m off; the Agriturismo ca. 500 m off is a good place to go for dinner. Grocery stores are found at Raito, ca. 800 m off. The nearest sandy beach, which you can also walk to along a stepped path, is 3 km from La Casa di Greta.

There is no way around Salerno, which was the case as early as the times of the Etruscans, who profited from its convenient location for their trade. As a Roman colony it became a significant cultural and economic center; its period of prosperity lay, however, in the Middle Ages.
What you should have a closer look at is San Matteo cathedral, consecrated by Pope Gregory VII and one of Southern Italy’s most significant Romanesque churches. The magnificent bulding was erected when Salerno became the capital of the Norman Duchy of Apulia, which at the time included the whole of southern Italy.
There are various interesting museums worth visiting, e.g. Museo della Scuola Medica Salernitana. Monte Bonadies (263 m), crowned by Castello di Arechi, is the place to go for a good view onto Salerno.
