Saracen Tower Amalfi coast

Torre di Cesare is an old saracen tower from the 15th century on the coast about 3 kms from Maiori. It lies sheer above the sea in a dominating position and was built to observe and prevent the raids by pirates and other invaders who all too often encroached on this coastal paradise, which in the old days was nearly inaccessibile unless you came from the sea due the protection behind afforded by a chain of unsurmountable mountains. It is thanks to these geographical characteristics that the marvellous features of the Amalfi Coast have survived intact and this property is a superb example. The property stretches from the coastal panoramic road right down to the sea and along the way you follow a delightful and perfectly-tended mediterranean garden full of surprises: from the hydromassage tub on a ledge high up above the sea that seems suspended between the sea and the sky, to a sauna hidden behind a rock that looks onto a pretty inlet of the sea; there is a succession of panoramic terraces furnished with benches and valuable tables made of Vietri ceramics and a swimming-pool with hydromassage. It is on the way down this path that you will find the various living-areas and in order to understand how they are laid out we have divided them into 2 sectors.The staff at Torre di Cesare can assist you with organizing boat excursions and other activities. The property is equipped with air-conditioning, Satellite-TV, DVD player suitable for both Region 1 and 2 DVDs, telephone, Wireless Internet, safe and mini-bar in every room. On request and at extra cost you can arrange for a daily breakfast, lunch and dinner service, which is served by qualified personnel. Distances: Amalfi 8 kms, Ravello 10 kms, Positano 18 kms.
