The village of Furore lies on both sides of the Amalfi Coast Road between Praiano and Conca dei Marini.
Listed as one of the "Borghi Più Belli d'Italia" (Most Beautiful Villages in Italy), Furore is split into two distinct areas. The best known of those is the beach area known as Marina di Furore, a small gorge with a bridge running across its top. |

If visiting the beach it's worth noting that during the afternoon it's largely in the shade so if you're looking for a place to sunbathe it's best to visit in the morning.
The other part of Furore is the village which is some 600 metres above the beach area and takes around 2 hours to walk to up a precipitous path but by car it just takes a few minutes.

Furore is a small coastal village in the province of Salerno, set between Conca dei Marini and Praiano on the Amalfi Coast. Known as the “painted village” for its colourful murals, it rises steeply from the sea along a series of terraces carved into the cliffs. The settlement is scattered rather than compact, with houses and farmsteads spread across the slopes, surrounded by vineyards, olive trees, and lemon groves overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The most distinctive feature of the area is the Fiordo di Furore, a dramatic sea inlet framed by high cliffs and crossed by an arched bridge, once home to a small fishing hamlet. Other highlights include the Church of San Giacomo and the Ethnographic Museum, which documents local rural life. Furore is also known for its wine production, with vineyards that descend almost vertically towards the coast. Its location between Amalfi, Praiano, and Agerola places it at the heart of one of the most striking and scenic stretches of the Amalfi Coast.

- Fiordo di Furore is a narrow coastal gorge with steep rock walls and a small pebble beach, formed by a stream cutting through the cliffs. A stone bridge spans the gorge, offering views of the inlet below. The beach is accessible by a staircase and is popular for swimming in summer.
- Ponte del Fiordo carries the Amalfi Coast road across the gorge and is known for its dramatic setting. It is the site of an annual high diving competition and offers a clear view down to the water, making it a frequent stop for visitors passing through the area.
- Ecomuseo del Fiordo is a small museum space near the gorge that documents local life, fishing traditions, and the natural features of the area. It also includes information on the former paper and mill industries that once operated along the stream.
- Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo is one of several historic churches in the upper part of Furore, set along narrow hillside roads. It features simple architecture, a tiled dome, and frescoes in the interior. The church remains active and offers views over the surrounding valley.
- Murales and Art Installations are scattered through the upper village, with painted façades and public artworks forming an open-air gallery. These pieces depict scenes from daily life, folklore, and local history, and contribute to Furore’s identity as a “painted village.”
