Hotel Alfonso a Mare Praiano - Furore

Hotel Alfonso a Mare is situated on the beach of Praia, in the picturesque fishing village of Praiano, half way between the towns of Positano and Amalfi, on Italy's legendary Amalfi Coast. For more than half a century, members of the Fusco family have been running the small hotel which bears the name of the man who first opened the property.

Positioned in one of the most enchanting bays of the Amalfi Coast, the simple seaside architecture of Hotel Alfonso offers guests fabulous views out over the crystal clear water. The hotel's spacious, light-filled bedrooms are all stylishly furnished in typical Mediterranean fashion and feature the area's beautiful majolica floor tiles. A number of rooms lead out on to a small terrace overlooking the sea.

Alfonso a Mare's restaurant has adhered to an interesting project offering cultural tourist itineraries linked to the history of cinema. Participants are accompanied on a fascinating tour of the places which have appeared in numerous films of international renown. In addition, they get to savor the finest local cuisine, with a series of dishes named after the movie stars who have contributed to the fame of the Amalfi Coast. Thus, at Alfonso a Mare, guests are given the opportunity to taste the "Consuelita", a dish bearing the name of the character interpreted by the great Francesca Bertini.

On the beach, the natural extension of the hotel, there is a solarium, bar, and a professional diving center, ideal for those keen to explore the area's stunning seabed.
