About this apartment rental
Located in the historic center of Forio, the house consists of a Saracen Tower dating back to 1500, as attested by the Superintendency for the Architectural Heritage of Naples.
The tower is accessed through a suggestive colonnade that runs through the garden, which is shared with the owner's house. From the garden you enter, through a stone arch, into the private space of the Tower; a short driveway leads to the panoramic terrace which leads into the Tower.
The wooden and glass entrance door opens onto the living room, with a sofa, a large table, an antique mahogany wardrobe and a kitchenette built into the thickness of the walls. A long staircase leads to the large bedroom, always round in shape, with a wooden beam ceiling; the room has two windows, one overlooking the village and has a magnificent view of the sea and sunsets, and the other on the opposite side which offers a view of Mount Epomeo.
In the room there is a small bathroom with toilet and shower (always carved into the walls) and a lovely sink is visible in front of the bed.
The tower offers a particular charm due to its history and location, but it is also a comfortable home. The south-west facing terrace is equipped with a table to have your meals with the splendid view over the historic center of the town and the Soccorso Church in the background of the sea, as well as a bench and a teak wood deckchair for afternoons. relaxing observing the sunset over the sea, the island of Ventotene and, if you are lucky, even the green ray.
The interior furnishings are very refined with various details of Moroccan origin, the kitchen is equipped with a small refrigerator, sink and 4 burners; the bedroom has a large wardrobe and, in addition to the two windows, it has a trap door that opens onto the ceiling and allows you to refresh the Tower in case of hot weather. The temperature in the tower is however always pleasant due to the great thickness of the walls.
This tower, one of the few circular and non-square, is called "Torre Costantina" and offered refuge to the inhabitants of the country, when the Turkish pirates invaded the island: from it they could also control access to 360 degrees thanks to the slits in the large walls , still visible even if closed on the outside.
Although located in the historic center of Forio, the Tower is very quiet, no machine noise is heard, and yet the center of the village with the various shops and supermarkets can be reached in a few minutes on foot (400 meters).

Wir haben die Zeit in diesem liebevoll eingerichteten Objekt sehr genossen!
Frühstück und Abendessen auf dem hübschen Balkon mit toller Aussicht über Forio und großartigem Sonnenuntergang über dem Meer waren das Highlight unserer Strandtage.
Die kleine Küche ist ausreichend um sich ein paar Kleinigkeiten zu bruzzeln und wir hätten sogar den Grill im Garten von Patrizia – der netten Vermieterin – mitnutzen können.
Trotz der August-Hitze ließ es sich auch ohne Klimaanlage aushalten - Fenster und Dachluke gewährleisteten immer ein laues Lüftchen.
Wer statt Luxus und Schnickschnack lieber Gemütlichkeit und Charme hat ist hier absolut richtig aufgehoben!

Suggestiva torre saracena arroccata sull'abitato di Forio, a pochi passi dalla spiaggia della Chiaia. È immersa in un tranquillo agrumeto che si apre in maniera del tutto inaspettata in mezzo alle strette vie del paese. Dal terrazzino attiguo abbiamo goduto di una vista impagabile fino al mare, con tramonti spettacolari. L'interno è ampio e arioso. C'è molta cura nella scelta degli arredi, nella pulizia ed anche grande attenzione a tutti quei dettagli che contribuiscono a creare comfort. La proprietaria Patrizia è una persona estremamente disponible. Ci torneremo sicuramente.

Der Turm ist eine außergewöhnliches Feriendomizil inmitten eines wunderschönen Gartens. Die Ausstattung lässt keine Wünsche offen und die Liebe zum Detail in der Inneneinrichtung hat uns ebenfalls begeistert. Es fühlt sich an, wie in einem kleinen Haus hoch über Forio zu leben, die wunderschöne Aussicht kann man abends auf der Terrasse genießen. Patrizia ist eine sehr fürsorgliche Gastgeberin und stellte auch interessante Lektüre zur Geschichte des Turmes zusammen. Bei Fragen, konnten wir uns stets an Rosaria wenden, die vor Ort zur Verfügung stand. Trotz ein paar verregneter Tage haben wir uns rundum wohlgefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.
