I stayed in La Casa Del Melograno with a friend while attending a wedding at the nearby Furore Inn. I can’t recommend the place highly enough! The owner Umberto was extremely helpful with arranging any local travel arrangements. Our room was huge and full of character. We had breakfast on a balcony adjacent to our room. Even when we were late for breakfast Umberto brought us croissants and local orange juice. Overall, for the price it is a great value hotel/guesthouse and I would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful week on the Amalfi Coast staying in La Casa del Melograno in Furore (which is about 4 km from the town of Amalfi). The 90 Euros a night was a real good price compared to other places on the Amalfi Coast at this time of year. It is in an old historic building but the rooms have been modernized. All the rooms have nice bath rooms and everything is very clean. It is located on a dead end street with plenty of parking. Every room has a view of the sea. Breakfast was included and consisted of coffee, juice, a wonderful homemade croissant, biscuits and jams.

A car is an absolute must. You have to drive to everything including the beach. The bus stop was 1 km up the hill. The owner (Umberto Somma) is a very good and helpful host. He recommended several good restaurants in the local area (all in small villages - not the well known towns) and they were all well priced.

The B&B does not have Wi-Fi but the owner does have an extra hook-up in his office area.

The big problem is the location on the side of a hill requiring 80 very steep steps every time you go somewhere. They did help with the baggage when we arrived and departed. I would recommend La Casa del Melograno to anyone who does not have trouble with the steps.

We stayed with Umberto for a week in early August 2009. He was a perfect host. We enjoyed his enthusiasm and hospitality. La Casa Del Melograno is centrally located along the Amafi coast and easy to get to many different attractions. Umberto is knowledgeable about the area and had several good recommendations on restaurants and places to shop. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
