Relais Maresca Capri

A dream holiday on one of Italy's most beautiful islands, might easily begin at Capri's Relais Maresca: a historic hotel in Marina Grande, the island's picturesque fishing district, from the terraces of which spectacular views of the Bay of Naples can be seen.

The onetime residence of the American Colonel, John Clay MacKowen, Relais Maresca first opened its doors to travelers visiting Capri in 1883. Since then, the property has been renovated on numerous occasions, ensuring that, more than a century later, Relais Maresca is still one of the island's finest 4 star establishments.

Filled with the colors of the sun and sea, Relais Maresca's bedrooms are decorated in classic Capri style and equipped with all the latest in modern amenities and communication technology. Frette bed and bath linen, air conditioning, Wi-Fi connectivity, and satellite television are standard in all rooms. Don't be surprised if the guests staying in no.41 never leave their room: they're probably lazing on the 60sqm sea view terrace, complete with dining table and chairs, sun beds and exercise bike!

Providing the perfect introduction to Capri's exquisite fish cuisine, Relais Maresca's roof top restaurant serves delicious maritime specialties, prepared with the best of the day's catch. The wine list features an impressive selection of Italian and international labels, carefully chosen to enhance the flavors of the Mediterranean.

With the Bay of Naples visible from almost every window and terrace and the island's largest beach practically on its doorstep, Relais Maresca is the perfect choice for a holiday by the sea. Guests keen to explore the island's fascinating sea caves and tiny secluded coves can join one of the boat trips departing from Marina Grande, or hire a boat, with or without crew, with which to cruise around Capri and perhaps even venture across the sea to the see the splendors of the Amalfi Coast.

Three good reasons

1. The view of the sea surrounding Capri from Room no.41.
2. The vicinity to the beach of Marina Grande.
3. The delicious Mediterranean cuisine served in the panoramic restaurant.
