Perched atop the cliffs of Marina di Albori, Torre Costa is a breathtaking 15th-century Saracen tower that offers stunning panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. This historic residence seamlessly blends ancient architecture with modern comforts, providing an exclusive retreat along the famed Amalfi Coast.
The tower spans four levels and accommodates up to twelve guests in six elegantly appointed double bedrooms, each featuring an en-suite bathroom. The ground floor welcomes guests with a spacious entrance hall, a refined dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, and a guest toilet. On the first and second floors, two double bedrooms on each level open onto terraces, offering magnificent sea views. The lower level hosts two additional bedrooms, accessible via a separate entrance, ensuring privacy and convenience. A unique winter garden, enclosed by glass doors, offers a cosy lounge area, a cinema space, and a pool table for relaxation.
Surrounded by terraced gardens, the property’s outdoor spaces are designed for tranquillity and entertainment. Guests can enjoy al fresco dining under shaded pergolas, making use of the outdoor pizza oven and BBQ facilities. A heated oval-shaped swimming pool, with a sun-drenched lounging area, provides a serene oasis. For those seeking the sea, a scenic pathway leads directly to a nearby beach.
Ideally located between Salerno and Maiori, Torre Costa is just moments from Vietri sul Mare, a town famous for its ceramics. It also offers easy access to the Amalfi Coast’s iconic destinations, including Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the ancient ruins of Paestum. With its perfect balance of history, luxury, and breathtaking surroundings, Torre Costa is an unparalleled coastal retreat.
What you should know…
- The swimming pool isn’t fenced, so younger children should be supervised when outdoors.
- Please note that although the tower enjoys access to a public beach below, the path is 188 steps down, not suitable for those with mobility issues
- Please note that the caretaker lives on site in a separate unit.
- A car is highly recommended to explore the local area.

Location
About the surrounding area of Torre CostaVietri Sul Mare is a charming, less touristy gem of the Amalfi Coast, renowned for its ceramics and outstanding seafood restaurants. Just seven kilometers from Salerno, it offers easy access by road or a quick hydrofoil ride.
Salerno itself is a vibrant town with a beautiful harbor, a historic center, and lively markets, especially on Tuesdays. Like Vietri Sul Mare, it is quieter than the more crowded Amalfi towns. Here, you’ll find artisan shops, boutiques, and must-try local delicacies, including fresh panini and the indulgent brioche con gelato in Portanova Square.
Amalfi, just under an hour from Torre Costa by ferry or car, is a scenic coastal town with a bustling promenade, charming cafés, and excellent seafood restaurants. Its whitewashed buildings rise gently from the harbor, offering a picturesque setting for a leisurely stroll.
A 50-minute inland drive leads to Ravello, known as the Balcony of the Amalfi Coast. A longtime haven for artists and musicians, it hosts the Ravello Festival each summer at Villa Rufolo. The town’s Michelin-starred restaurants and trattorias provide exceptional dining experiences.
Throughout the coast, pastel-hued villages are filled with stylish boutiques, ceramic shops, and local specialties like Limoncello. Weekly markets in Ravello, Sorrento, and Amalfi offer fantastic finds, while Maiori’s Friday market is perfect for gathering fresh ingredients and enjoying a stroll along the promenade. Whether dining, shopping, or exploring, this region offers an authentic and unforgettable taste of Italy.
