The home has everything you need for a great stay! And the view cannot be beat!
February 2024 - We really loved our 5 day stay at Casa Maresia. The home has everything you need for a great stay! And the view cannot be beat!
It is away from the town of Amalfi, which makes it really quiet (and more "real" of an experience). But you need to learn the SITA bus procedure (assuming you don't have a car, which is a wise choice in this area). Once we did, it was easy (and reliable) to get into and back from Amalfi, and you can connect to other buses and ferries in town. The bus stop is a short walk away. There is also a store (very close, though it closes down for a few hours each day), a cafe (very close and open in the mornings), and several restaurants (not too far).
The owner is really helpful.
Luca at Summer In Italy was very helpful in getting everything set up for us!

Would love to return
March 2023 - The property manager was easy to communicate with and helpful in answering all of our questions prior to arrival. The owner of the apt was amazing! We were delayed in arriving (not a good idea to travel on a Sunday, I learned), the owner met us in Amalfi at the bus stop and helped us to get dinner and wine to go from her brother’s restaurant since we were starving, before driving us to the apt.
There were a quite a few grocery items and Prosecco waiting us as well as fresh baked snacks and a bowl of lemons and oranges from her own trees. She was a gracious host and answered all our questions, as well as providing local recommendations.
The apt was lovely, clean and had everything we needed. One issue to keep in mind is that the apt is a distance from Amalfi and we had to rely on the buses. Otherwise, it was a perfect place for our trip to the Amalfi coast.
Would love to return in spring or fall.

Casa Maresia is the kind of place Amalfi vacation dreams are made of!
July 2022 - It is beautiful, peaceful, with a stunning view. We loved sitting out on the terrace having dinner or a glass of wine. The house itself was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We were pleasantly surprised that it was air conditioned, too! It was also really nice to make dinner in the kitchen and wash our clothes after a few days traveling in Naples.
Rachele [the owner] was an incredible host -- knowledgeable about the area and very welcoming. She even helped us get a ride to the ferry stop when we had an early-morning appointment since buses weren't running that early. We have been enjoying her homemade lemon compote since coming home and making all our friends jealous.
I will definitely book through you guys next time I go! Thank you for everything!
Travel tips
- Transportation is a bit tricky on the Amalfi Coast since you have to take the bus if you don't have a car. There's not a ton within walking distance so you just have to get used to the bus thing -- or pay serious $$$ for a private car.
- We loved exploring Ravello, that was our favorite town on the coast.
- We had a great beach day in Positano and did a boat trip to Capri as well. Highly recommend!

May 2022 - I stayed here with my sister and we had the absolute best experience. It was located a quick 10 minute bus ride (less than 2 euros per way) from the town and was located in a quiet, peaceful area.
Rachele was an amazing host. She gave us the best recommendations to local restaurants and advice on how to navigate the city. She was always available for any question we had. :)
Best host and best place to stay if you plan to visit the Amalfi!! We will definitely stay here again if we revisit.

The house is just beautiful and very clean
June 2020 - We really enjoyed our stay in Casa Maresia. The house is just beautiful and very clean. In the kitchen, you find everything you need and the furnishing are very cozy. The view from the terrace is amazing!
The communication with the members of Summer In Italy and the owner of the apartment was easy and uncomplicated. Rachele [the owner] gave us so many helpful information and was so friendly, we are very grateful for that!
We really hope that we can come back soon! Everything was perfect, thank you so much!
You do a great job, there is nothing to improve!
Travel tips
- Only 5 minutes away, you find a little supermarket with everything you need for your everyday life and also local products.
- In the surrounding, you find some very good restaurants, you can reach them either walking or by car.
- After a 20/30 minutes walk you find a very nice beach which is partially free (not open on Sunday).
- Driving by car, you reach many nice villages and towns and there are some very good opportunities to hike with beautiful views of the sea and the Amalfi Coast!

Small, cute, and close to Amalfi center
September 2019 - Small, cute, and close to Amalfi center. Private parking available at 4 min walking distance.
Rachele (the owner) was very helpful with our check-in time, and setting us up in the apartment. She provided clear information on available restaurants and bus times, and gave great suggestions for visits around town.

November 2018 - My wife and I greatly enjoyed Casa Maresia. The accommodation was very comfortable, the setting is jaw dropping and we frequently stared out the windows at the views.
The neighborhood proved much of our needs in terms of food. We felt privileged to be in a local community.
Summer In Italy appears to be well organized. I will recommend them.
Travel tips
- Our favorite walk was from Pogerola to central Amalfi. It was a lot of steps but we enjoyed taking it daily.
- There are many trails to be found if one enjoys the exercise.
- Bus service is close by and there are numerous amazing places to visit along the Amalfi Coast.

Your setup was easy to book we will definitely use Summer In Italy in the future.
Travel tips
- The bus system was pretty easy and convenient.

October 2017 - Casa Maresia is a great place to stay in Amalfi.
The house is extremely clean and comfortable. It is located at about 2 km from downtown Amalfi, but there is good public transportation so this is not a problem.
The owner, Rachele, makes sure to explain every detail you need to know for your stay.
I definitely recommend Casa Maresia, it is a top ten place to be and you will get an awesome view of the Amalfi Coast.

September 2017 - We enjoyed our stay in Case Maresia immensely, and the hospitality of the owner, Rachele, was the best part.
This apartment is lovely and immaculate, and the view is spectacular.
The hardest thing about staying here is finding a cab driver who knows exactly where it is, but it's just about 2 km up the hill from where the bus drops you off in Amalfi, in the neighboring town of Vettica.
I neglected to follow the provided instructions to meet the owner at the Bar Gas, which is highly recommended! We were late because our bus from Salerno was late... but Rachele was very accommodating, found us wandering around looking for her apartment and greeted us with fresh squeezed lemonade from the unbelievable local lemons. Then she gave us detailed information on public transport, places to see, and other nuggets that made our stay there very lovely.
If we happen to visit Amalfi again, I would definitely stay at Casa Maresia.
Everything about Summer in Italy was great - excellent communication and advice. I messaged with someone prior to my trip who gave me information needed to book my train travel and that was very helpful.
Travel tips
- Day trip to Positano is recommended - the best shopping around.
- The bus ticket seller in Amalfi is a little ornery and doesn't seem to like tourists. Either they charge double for tourists to ride the bus, or she charges double and pockets the money. Not a pleasant person nor the least bit helpful. Follow Rachele's instructions to go to the Gas Bar when you arrive and you won't need to deal with her. Buy your bus tickets at a local Tobacco shop instead.

Very good
August 2017 - We truly enjoyed Casa Maresia: the location minutes above the Comune di Amalfi by bus, the incredible view, the fabulous hospitality, the convenience of the local bus for transportation; a large ceramic bowl brimming with freshly picked succulent lemons upon arrival, with the fresh lemonade made from lemons on site, the little grocery store within walking distance for antipasto fixings, the Tabacchi store down the road for hot roasted chickens and wine as well as bus tickets.
This little apartment would be excellent for a longer term stays. The suite, the lovely garden outdoor dining space (use bug spray at dusk) the functional kitchen and air conditioned bedroom have everything we needed to maximize on our Amalfi Coast Unesco World Heritage Site adventure.
We loved it.
Travel tips
- We did day trips to Positano, Ravello, Sorrento, and the island of Capri.
- Pompeii was fascinating but extremely busy.
- In Positano the Buca di Bacco restaurant on the beach was elegant dining, delicious grilled seafood and great for people watching.

August 2017 - Breathtaking sea views and a beautiful little house with everything on hand. Ideal for a couple, four people would feel crowded.
A convenient location for exploring the coast. Not so close to the sea - the nearest beach is a 5-minute bus ride or a 15-minute walk along the motorway + The Steps. The sea is absolutely worth it, though.
The owner was very friendly and helpful to us - and really made these 2 weeks a holiday.

Great service, thanks a lot for everything.
Travel tips
- The Duoglio beach is just 10-15 minutes walk from the house, and it is in my opinion much nicer than many others that are more famous, specially those that are closer to Positano.

July 2016 - We loved the beautiful Casa Maresia apartment and enjoyed all of it's charm and appointments.
Travel tips
- I would only stay here if you are prepared to wait for extended periods on the streets for buses and do a lot of walking. Get the bus schedule on day one and plan on much trial and error.
- The restaurant up at Conca dei Marini is spectacular so ask Rachele [the owner] to give you the actual name. It is a 45 minute walk or you can call them and they might be able to pick you up in their van.

September 2015 - Casa Maresia is a beautiful place with a stunning view of the water.
Our host was anxious to please and did everything she could to make sure that our stay was enjoyable. There is only a toaster oven here, no regular oven, but the BBQ made things easy for cooking.
Thank you for always following up and making sure that the reservation went smoothly. Your attention to detail and quick feedback put any worries about our reservation to rest. Website was great as well!

- Driving here is an experience I will never forget. Don't show up here with a big car and keep your mirrors pulled in or you will lose them.
