Torre de Maiori 7934 is an old saracen tower from the 15th century on the coast about 3 kms from Maiori.
It lies sheer above the sea in a dominating position and was built to observe and prevent the raids by pirates and other invaders who all too often encroached on this coastal paradise. In the old days the torre was nearly inaccessibile unless you came from the sea due to the protection afforded by a chain of unsurmountable mountains. It is thanks to these geographical characteristics that the marvellous features of the Amalfi Coast have survived intact and this property is a superb example.
The property stretches from the coastal panoramic road right down to the sea and along the way you follow a delightful and perfectly-tended mediterranean garden full of surprises: from the hydromassage tub on a ledge high up above the sea that seems suspended between the sea and the sky, to a sauna hidden behind a rock that looks onto a pretty inlet of the sea; there is a succession of panoramic terraces furnished with benches and valuable tables made of Vietri ceramics and a swimming-pool with hydromassage with a thermal winter cover.
The warden of the Torre is on the premises throughout the day, and will be there to ensure that everything on the property runs smoothly. He can also help you find a boat to hire or advise you about other kinds of trips.
It is on the way down this path that you will find the various living-areas and in order to understand how they are laid out we have divided them into 3 sectors.
