Dear guests, we would like to inform you that to access "Palazzo Verone" from Piazza del Borgo Medievale di Pontone, you will need to climb 190 steps. It is advisable to bring light luggage and request assistance from the owner if necessary.
"Palazzo Verone" is a historic medieval residence located in the peaceful village of Pontone, equidistant between Amalfi and Ravello. The interior of the palace is embellished with 18th-century frescoes, as mentioned in the T.C.I. guide, which attest to the prestigious past of the building.
From the windows and balconies of "Palazzo Verone," you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Valley of the Mills and of Amalfi, the Villa Cimbrone in Ravello, and the Gulf of Salerno, which extends to the Piana di Paestum and Punta Licosa.
The silence and tranquility of the place make waking up in Pontone a unique, almost unreal experience.
Historically, the palace belonged to the Verone family, an influential family in Pontone in the late 18th century. Giovanbattista Verone, the head of the family, managed the affairs of the village, a situation that generated envy and conflicts with other noble families, including the D'Afflitto. It is said that a rivalry with the D'Afflitto led to the almost destruction of the ancient basilica of S. Eustachio di Minuta.
A legend depicted at the entrance of the palace shows figures of chained brigands and souls of purgatory holding bones. Tradition has it that the souls of purgatory interceded to save the Verone family from a brigand attack. This story has been confirmed by historical documents, as recounted by the current owner, Michele Criscuolo, who will be happy to provide further details during your stay.
Start your day with a delightful Italian breakfast, made up of fragrant pastries, crunchy cereals, hard-boiled eggs, sweet jams, and juicy seasonal fruits.

Regarding excursions, in the territory of Scala, starting from the ancient medieval village of Pontone, you will find one of the most fascinating naturalistic routes along the entire Amalfi Coast.
The "Valley of the Ironworks" is indeed a precious "Oriented Nature Reserve," which preserves one of the oldest and rarest plants from the pre-glacial period: the bulbiferous fern, also known as "Woodwardia Radicans." Here, in a typically tropical atmosphere, amidst breathtaking coves and waterfalls, this plant has found its natural habitat, protected by a conservation program of the State Forestry Corps.
