Short description:
"In Conca dei Marini, where time stands still, a 15th-century residence awaits you, a tribute to Italian craftsmanship. Characterized by its famous blue staircases and ancient vaults that whisper stories of centuries past, this home is a haven for the soul.
Inside, restored period furniture coexists with modern comforts: you'll discover a kitchen hidden in an antique wooden cupboard and artistic glass details that play with the sunlight. Designed for those seeking the true essence of the Amalfi Coast: silence, authentic beauty, and a view that stretches across the infinite Mediterranean."
Conca dei Marini is the "hidden pearl" of the Amalfi Coast. Those who choose L'Isola di Prospero aren't looking for the chaos of Positano, but for the true soul of the place.
The heart of Conca dei Marini: Your Host's tips
Living in Conca dei Marini means embracing the slow rhythm of the sea. Here are my favorite places, just steps from the ancient residence:
Il Bagno a Marina di Conca: Descend the steps to the small bay. It's a rock amphitheater where time has stood still. I recommend a stop at La Tonnarella restaurant (dear to Jacqueline Kennedy) for spaghetti with zucchini.
La Grotta dello Smeraldo: A magical light reachable by sea or by elevator carved into the rock. A mesmerizing experience just minutes from home.
Il Dolce di Conca: You can't leave without tasting the "Sfogliatella Santa Rosa" right here, in the village where it was born in the 1700s, at the local monastery.
Il Sentiero degli Dei (Authentic Version): Less-traveled but equally spectacular trails start from Conca, perfect for those seeking silence and Mediterranean scrub.
Dinner under the stars: Conca is famous for its evening tranquility. Enjoy a glass of local wine on our terrace or in one of the village's small bistros, where fishermen still tell tales of the sea.
