Conca Dei Marini hugs a rocky little inlet, like a charming, lemon-scented secret between Praiano and Amalfi, a picturesque former fishing village with buildings perched at impossible looking angles against the terraced cliff face. That Conca Dei Marini is so tiny and precariously positioned limits the amount of accommodation found in town, but there’s a small but charming collection of converted villas and townhouses, converted farmhouses and agriturismo in the hinterland, and up on the cliffs are some more spectacular conversions — these last are the options our experts have placed on our list of the best places to stay in Conca Dei Marini.
Conca Dei Marini is an excellent base for exploring the whole of the Amalfi Coast (it’s centrally positioned), while also being a quieter spot to come home to. Its fans have included jet-setting style icons in abundance, but we also think the town is suited to sailors, walkers and foodies, and to romantics of course! Whichever of these categories you see yourself in it’s worth trying the local cuisine, it’s really something, and enjoying the local beaches too, which are much quieter than those of neighbouring centres. It is also one of the closest towns to the Grotto della Smeraldo, one of the world’s most famous marine caves. Named for the colour the filtered sunlight is turned as it pours in through a submarine fissure.
If you're planning to visit the area during the peak summer months, don't forget that the best places to stay in Conca dei Marini will be filled very quickly. So do your homework, get organsied and book well ahead!
