Description

Immersed in a natural setting of extraordinary beauty and rich in historical charm, the Torre di Chiunzi, also known as Torre Orsini, represents an authentic architectural rarity from the 15th century. Built in 1454 by the noble Raimondo Del Balzo Orsini, Prince of Salerno and Duke of Amalfi, this defensive tower is part of the medieval Amalfitan and Aragonese military system. Located in the municipality of Tramonti, the property enjoys a strategic and dominant position: the view encompasses the Gulf of Naples, Mount Vesuvius, and, on clear days, extends to the city of Naples. On the other side, the view opens onto the mountains of the Monti Lattari and partially onto the sea of the Amalfi Coast, with the picturesque village of Tramonti nestled in the surrounding greenery. After conveniently parking, you enter the defensive complex by choosing one of the various accesses, and in the Amalfi Coast, there are few accommodation and tourist properties that can boast convenient vehicular access and dozens of parking spaces on a paved courtyard. The first level, at parking height, consists of a circular hall that lends itself to multiple uses; the centerpiece of this environment is the scenic fireplace, ideal for socializing and having fun. Conveniently usable, there are large panoramic outdoor spaces overlooking the rock and the forest below. The second level has access both from the outside via a scenic staircase surrounded by flowerbeds, and from the inside through a charming circular staircase with a suggestive wrought iron balustrade, spiraling from the first level up to the rooftop terrace. It offers a large multifunctional outdoor space, thus being excellently suited for numerous uses. The further two upper levels house the rooms, two per floor, characterized by breathtaking views. Most of the interior spaces are in exposed stone. Finally, the very top level consists of a walkable and paved rooftop terrace, with an unforgettable panorama. With the additional service rooms, the total covered area is about 300 square meters, while the large uncovered spaces, in direct connection with the interior environments, can accommodate numerous people. Completing this wonderful property are many green areas, partly garden and partly chestnut grove; the tall trees contribute to the magnificence of the place.

Located in the Chiunzi area of the picturesque village of Tramonti, in the context of the Amalfi Coast, in a green oasis dotted with scattered houses and immersed in the tranquility of the Lattari Mountains, this real estate complex offers an authentic and rejuvenating experience. The territory is traversed by a network of trails that wind through lemon groves and vineyards, providing ideal nature paths for hikes and sensory walks. The experience is enriched by the opportunity to taste typical products from local wineries and dairies. The position of the Tower is strategic and stands out for its privacy and panoramic views, while being centrally located with respect to three major tourist routes: towards the Amalfi Coast, with its renowned locations like Amalfi and Positano, symbols of the Mediterranean dolce vita; towards Ravello, situated just 9 km away, famous for its classical music festival and the historic villas that make it a refined cultural hub; finally, towards the Chiunzi Pass, which quickly connects the Amalfi Coast with the Vesuvius area, rich in history and tradition. From an entrepreneurial and tourist perspective, the strategic location of the property is an undeniable advantage, thanks to an efficient and well-distributed network of connections, indeed: the Naples-Capodichino international airport is easily reachable in about 55 kilometers; the Salerno-Costa d'Amalfi airport is just 45 kilometers away. The renowned locality of Maiori is only 10 kilometers away. Amalfi, with its characteristic marina, is located 15 kilometers from the property. The archaeological sites of Pompeii and the city of Salerno, equipped with modern marinas capable of accommodating even large vessels, are about 25 kilometers away. Herculaneum and Castellammare di Stabia, the latter with a port capable of welcoming yachts up to 100 meters in length, are located at a distance between 30 and 35 kilometers. This favorable accessibility makes the property an ideal starting point for exploring the renowned attractions of the Campania region and a surely interesting investment opportunity in the tourism-hospitality sector.
