Amalfi Residence Conca dei Marini

Hidden amidst the delicately perfumed orange and lemon groves, on the precipitous coastal terraces directly above the warm Mediterranean sea, peaceful Conca dei Marini is still one of the Amalfi Coast's best kept secrets, as is the town's Amalfi Residence. The origins of the residence date back to the early 1900's, when what was then a workshop where palm leaves were woven, was transformed into a small Inn, to accommodate the first European travelers coming to the Amalfi Coast, during the Grand Tour.

Today the Amalfi Residence provides holiday accommodation in four, one bedroomed apartments, all of which are decorated with the hand crafted furniture and brightly colored majolica floor tiles typical of the area's seaside homes. Ideal for those traveling with children, the apartments have a spacious living-cum-dining room, large enough to accommodate two extra beds, and are equipped with air conditioning, wireless internet connectivity and safety deposit box.

Guests are unlikely to forget the views from the balcony or terrace of their apartment at the Amalfi Residence: a sweeping view of the sea which encompasses the archipelago of Li Galli and beyond, as far as the Island of Capri. The terraces and the small garden of the Casa Bouganville offer delightful venues for outdoor dining, be it for breakfast, a sunset aperitif, or a romantic candlelit dinner.

One of the world's most sought-after summer holiday destinations, the Amalfi Coast has many beautiful beaches, including that of Conca dei Marini. The residence operates a shuttle service transporting guests to and from the beach. Other services, available on request, include cooking lessons, boat trips, and excursions to the other towns on the Amalfi Coast and further afield, to Sorrento, Paestum, Pompei and the Island of Capri. Guests should make sure they ask reception staff for a Conca Card: with which to receive special discounts in a number of Conca dei Marini's bathing establishments, restaurants and shops.
