We absolutely loved our stay here while visiting the Almafi coast.
Furor was a perfect spot to use as a home base for exploring the coast. There are several little restraunts (all great!), a wonderful coffee shop and a little grocery store that will have everything you need for your stay, and all are within a few minutes drive. I definitely suggest having a car. We were very worried about driving along the crazy coastal roads, but it really wasn’t nearly as bad as we feared. Exploring by car was much easier than having to wait for the buses, and it never took us more than 25-30 minutes to get where we were going. A great tip Guido gave us was to drive to Maiori and park there for super cheap and then take the ferries to the different towns. This made getting around much easier and the beach in Maiori was great!
As for the apartment itself, it is nice and spacious but very basic.
There are towels, pillows and blankets, basic cooking supplies, toilet paper and hand soap, but that’s about it. No salt/pepper, power adapters, hair dryers, games, travel brochures - nothing extra. And the market isn’t open on Sundays, so if you arrive Sunday afternoon like we did - make sure to bring everything you might need!
The apartment also doesn’t have anywhere to sit other than the dining table. There is no couch/sofa in the living room. I mean in reality, you aren’t coming here to sit in the living room. You want to be on the patio with the amazing view! But if it happens to rain (like it did every night of our stay), there isn’t much of an option for gathering in the apartment.
Also, the washing machine is on the main patio and doesn’t work well. I wouldn’t depend on it. The cable TV is also spotty and the WiFi only works outside, downstairs on the main patio. But again, your not coming here for tv and WiFi!
Guido is super nice and helpful. Unfortunately, he was tied up during our stay due to circumstances beyond his control, otherwise I’m sure he would have been a wonderful host. You can tell he has such a passion for this property and truely wants to make his renters experience the best that it can be. We would definitely come back here if we are ever in the area again!
