Reviews of Casa Despina

Beautiful apartment with stunning views

January 2025 - The apartment was beautiful and matched the description and pictures.

You can’t find a better view than that!! Be ready to walk a LOT of stairs if you stay, but the views and comfortable apartment are well worth it!

The host was very friendly and responds quickly to messages which made our stay easy.

Perfect hosts, spotless house

September 2024 - Salvatore and Teresa were perfect hosts, very accommodating and kind. The place was spotless.

I must say I think I lost weight going to Italy thanks to the steps!

Thank you again for everything.

Amazing place in Pontone

July 2024 - Amazing place in the beautiful authentic Pontone.

The view from the terrace is incredible. Communication was extremely good.

They even did some shopping for us, so we arrived with a fridge filled with local specialities.

Really recommend this place.

Great time in a brilliant apartment

July 2024 - Has a great time, amazing apartment in a brilliant location would highly recommend

Beautiful views and relaxing terrace

June 2024 - This has a beautiful view. It was nice to have access to a clothes washer out on the deck. The large terrace was so nice to sit, relax and enjoy the view.

Be prepared to have many stairs to walk down to Amalfi if you do not want to take the bus.

The restaurant San Giovanni had great food and a beautiful view as well.

Amazing stay at Salvatores

June 2024 - We had an amazing stay at Salvatore's [the owner] . The space is beautiful. It is hard to find at first but he sent someone to greet us in an easy to find location. Parking is on the road and he set us up a local permit.

In the reviews there are a lot of comments about the stairs. If you have visited ANYWHERE in the Amalfi Coast be prepared for the stairs! That's the price you pay for an elevated view point!

His restaurant was also beautiful and if you get the chance to eat there please do. Thank you again, we had a great time!

Stunning view and terrace experience

May 2024 - Nice spot with a stunning view and terrace.

It’s a bit of a trek to get there, so you must be fine with lots of steps, but of course that’s what makes the Amalfi region what it is!

Great view and lovely veranda

May 2024 - Make sure you know what you are in for. If you have heavy luggage make sure you have a car you can leave it in and take out what you need for your stay. The 80 steps above the center means you have to walk up said 80 steps to the front door, and to get to said center you have to walk up an inclined alley (15-20 feet wide) about 3 stories up.

With that being said the veranda and the view are worth visiting and alone is worth 10 stars, but the accessibility and an interior space that is on par with other places we have stayed at overall rating is 4 stars.
