The Religious House of Hospitality "Amici di San Francesco" is located in Maiori, one of the tourist gems of the Amalfi coast, exclusive location famous for its interesting historical, artistic and cultural heritage, perfectly blended with one of the most enchanting natural landscapes in the world.
Characterised by a wide beach, a suggestive tourist harbor and a beautiful promenade with trees and palms, Maiori also hides an historical town center rich in important evidences of the past, set along the narrow alleys of the town, such as the medieval castle of San Nicola de Thoro-plano, the remains of the defensive walls, the Bastion of San Sebastiano, the ancient Abbey of Santa Maria de' Olearia, the watch towers and the valuable artistic masterpieces preserved in churches, monasteries and convents.
Perfectly served by public transports, Maiori, due to its strategic position, is an ideal starting point for pleasant excursions to the other locations both of the Amalfi coast (Positano, Ravello and Amalfi) and of the Sorrento peninsula, to the archaeological sites of Paestum, Pompeii and Herculaneum and the islands of Capri and Ischia.
Annexed both to the XV century convent and to the beautiful Church of St. Francis, the Religious House of Hospitality "Amici di San Francesco" is an oasis of peace, surrounded by an untouched natural landscape, a few steps from both the sea and Maiori's historical center. It is the perfect place for individuals, families and groups of people, looking for sharing a path of faith and Christian spirituality, in a serene and quiet atmosphere.
