Suspended between the sky and the sea, protected by wild vegetation and separated from the main street by typical steps that descend towards the characteristic old alleyways of the town, you will find Massimiliano and Luigia’s Divino Maniero. You can already sense the magic and uniqueness of the dwelling when you arrive at the entrance: there are no doorbells or intercoms here. To enter, you have to use the door knocker, just like in olden times.
After restorations that took more than six years, the residence can now be observed in all its splendor. We are located on the Amalfi Coast, in a town called Furore with a population of only 850. The town’s greatest strengths are derived from this small population. Furore is listed as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, was honored as a European Destination of Excellence, and recently received ISO 14001 environmental certification.
The Divino Maniero Villa can host up to ten guests in order to offer them a unique experience discovering the Amalfi Coast.
The interior has been carefully designed down to the last detail.
Most of the furniture is unique and has long histories, having been rediscovered after careful research and artfully restored.
Il Divino Maniero unites luxury and beauty to help guests experience an unforgettable vacation.
THE ROOMS
After crossing the entranceway, guests enter an immense, verdant, and fragrant courtyard where a lemon tree, native to the Amalfi Coast, decorates the ancient walls. The kitchen, dining room, and parlor with its romantic chimney are also on the ground floor, adjacent to the courtyard. Yes, a chimney – for those of you who have never tried it, spending winter on the Amalfi Coast is a romantic vacation with a slow-paced atmosphere fare from the chaos of the city. An air of conviviality emanates from the rustic kitchen, where a large central work table, made from reclaimed wood from the building’s old fixtures, commands attention.
The floor, just like everywhere in the house, is made from square terra cotta tiles. The kitchen corner is dominated by a rustic hood decorated with antique copper pots and pans. The atmosphere is rendered authentic by the multicolored Neapolitan tiles that form the backdrop for the stoves. The kitchen opens into the dining room, which is embellished with coral objects that represent the owner’s true passion. In the dining room, aside from the antique wooden table, there is an eighteenth century Neapolitan sideboard where jam tarts, pastries, and fresh fruit are served for breakfast. In addition to being a place known for its delicious meals, the room is also a place where guests can relax with a book, watch a movie, or listen to music.
After climbing a characteristic staircase which has only become more beautiful over time, guests arrive on the second floor where the bedrooms are located. The enchanting atmosphere that pervades offers guests the opportunity to create unique memories. All the rooms are furnished with refined elegance and sophistication down to the last detail. The style recalls the Baroque Era, and antiques, silks, and carved frames are harmoniously combined with the extraordinary natural beauty that peeks in through the windows and balconies adjacent to the rooms. The discreetly lit vaulted ceiling in each room adds yet another evocative detail in the evening. The furniture and carpets with their neutral colors provide a backdrop on which the imposing natural beauty emerges. All the beds are exquisite – some are carved and covered in gold leaf and others are covered in fine velvet, which gives them an absolutely royal touch.
THE GARDEN
The garden that surrounds the villa is spread across several terraces facing the sea. It is planted with old olive trees and a particularly beautiful maritime pine that lends shade to the terraces and provides a respite from the summer heat. The Santa Elia Terrace is characterized by aromatic plants that can also be used in the kitchen. There is even a lemon tree on the Santo Iaco Terrace. The Santa Barbara Terrace sports a pool, and the Santa Caterina Terrace, an organic garden. The cascading pool has infinity edges on two sides and is surrounded by typical Mediterranean vegetation.
