Restored Saracen Tower on the Amalfi Coast

This property is on the market for €12,000,000, listed with Building Heritage Forbes Global Properties.

Considered to be one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world, the Amalfi Coast on the Sorrentine Peninsula south of Naples is one of the top destinations in Italy.

This restored Tower dates back to 1532 and is one of over 350 towers that were built up along the mountainous coast from the 11th century to protect inhabitants from invasions and attacks by the Saracens and pirates.

These Saracen Towers defended the Amalfi Coast from these pirate attacks by sea, as the mountainous coastal paradise was largely inaccessible by land, and are the reason why the historic region has remained so well preserved.

Located in Maiori, one of the most exclusive areas of the Amalfi Coast, the tower for sale is set on Amalfi’s coastal panoramic road.

The property stretches right down to the sea, surrounded by lush, Mediterranean gardens with ancient trees and flowering plants, including lemon and olive trees.

The tower is surrounded by panoramic terraces and outdoor areas featuring vietri ceramics, including a rooftop terrace on the tower with incredible views.

The property comes with a jacuzzi and swimming pool and has 11 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms across the main tower and 4 additional structures on the property.

This property presents a rare opportunity as the region is designated a UNESCO World Heritage site and is protected from new developments. The historic property is perfectly positioned to become a unique boutique hotel on the Amalfi Coast.
