Painted in bright colours so sailors could pick out their homes on the way back, the houses of Albori sit 264 metres up above an inlet of the Amalfi Coast, between the sea and the woods of Monte Falerio. Vaulted lanes lead to a small square and the church of Santa Margherita, decorated with frescoes of the Neapolitan school.
