EMOTIONS IN THE PALACE
Palazzo Suriano stands as a noble testimony of times gone by
on the coast between Vietri sul Mare and Amalfi, halfway between sky and sea.
Thus began a long article that appeared in the magazine “Modern Times”, distributed in Austria in German.
The unique 'Emotions' of those who stay at Palazzo Suriano are told by the journalist Silvia Matras: we start from the entrance of the Palace, which is located in a characteristic street on the Amalfi Coast, halfway "between sky and sea" and a short distance from Vietri by the sea, the town famous throughout the world for its artistic ceramics.
Roberto opens the door. In the atrium you can admire a bounganville
which goes up halfway up the stone wall.
The music of a time that can never return resonates
through the halls. Someone put on an old record.
It seems that only music lives in the Palace.
Nothing else and no one but music.
Entering the Palace you can savor its history, among the prestigious books in the library and with the evocative background harmonies coming from the ancient gramophone.
And then the halls with ancient frescoes overlooking the Gulf of Salerno and the Amalfi Coast, the terrace dedicated to the delicious morning breakfast, the rooms that envelop guests as if in a dream.
Carlo, one of the owners of the Palace, is a passionate collector of antique gramophones
and records. And she gets excited when he says: “When I hear the sound and vibrations in the halls, it's like a blast from the past:
I immerse myself in the past, in the time in which this music was created."
The story then continues with a detailed description of the terraced gardens with a breathtaking view of the sea, among the green lawns and the scent of flowers, lemons, oranges...:
It's time for a quiet breakfast at the Palace. Virginia has already prepared a fresh fruit cake, some orange juice and has made the table on the terrace welcoming, with love. Virginia is the good soul of the house, who brings life to the quiet and peaceful environments of the Palace.
