Hotels near Fiordo di Furore

The Fiordo di Furore is one of the coast's most striking sights: a narrow, fjord-like inlet carved into the cliffs in the municipality of Furore, spanned high above by a stone road bridge on the SS163. A cluster of old fishermen's houses, the Monazeni, clings to the rock beside a small pebble beach at the water's edge, reached by a long staircase down from the road.

The beach is tiny and gets busy in summer, and the well-known high-diving competition staged from the bridge draws big crowds when it runs. Outside those times the fjord is quietly dramatic.

Pro Tip: There is no real parking at the fjord and the bus stop sits on a blind bend of the SS163, so visit on a ferry-linked boat tour or a guided coast drive rather than trying to stop your own car on the narrow road.
