Conca dei Marini is a hidden gem on the Amalfi Coast, situated in the province of Salerno between the bustling towns of Amalfi and Furore. Perched on a hillside overlooking the sea, this comune retains the charm of its medieval past as a trading base for the Republic of Amalfi. For frequent-flyer hotel travelers seeking tranquility away from the crowds, Conca offers a serene retreat while remaining perfectly positioned for exploring the wider coastal region. Its history, dating back to Etruscan and Roman times, adds depth to a visit defined by natural beauty and authentic Italian coastal life.

Given its hillside location, accommodations range from sea-level properties with direct beach access to higher-elevation hotels offering panoramic views of the Amalfi Gulf. Travelers prioritizing convenience may prefer lower areas near the port, while those seeking quiet and scenic vistas should look toward the upper districts.
There is no direct airport connection. The nearest major hubs are Naples or Salerno. From there, travelers must combine bus and train services to reach the Amalfi area, followed by local transport to Conca. Due to the winding coastal roads, planning transit in advance is essential for a smooth arrival and departure.
Spring and autumn offer mild weather and fewer crowds, making them ideal for a peaceful stay. Summer brings vibrant energy but significant congestion along the coast. Winter may see reduced services. For frequent travelers valuing comfort and accessibility, shoulder seasons provide the best balance of climate and tranquility.

Borgo Santandrea is a luxurious hotel along the Amalfi Coast, just outside Conca dei Marini, and Alici is its fineding, both symbols of Italian beauty. Beyond an interior dining room with vintage-style furniture, dinners always take place on the magnificent terrace with its blue and azure majolica floor, reverberating the splendour of the sky and sea. Chef Crescenzo Scotti clearly loves pleasant places: we remember him previously in Ravello and before that - with a star - on the island of Vulcano. Here he returns with skill and expertise to his favourite territory, that is, the flavours of the
WebsiteHoused within the Monastero Santa Rosa, one of the most original and iconic hotels on the Amalfi Coast (the monastery was founded in the 17C and some of its original features can still be seen), this restaurant occupies a spectacular terrace in a magical, tranquil setting with views that extend from the garden to the swimming pool and right out to sea. The cuisine comes courtesy of Alfonso Crescenzo, whose slogan “Nothing is more complex than simple cuisine” lies behind his tasteful reinterpretations of Campania’s traditional dishes, which are natural, full of generous flavours and beautifully
WebsiteThe former Furore Inn hotel has reopened with a new contemporary Mediterranean look and a new name (the Furore Grand Hotel ), along with a new gourmet restaurant, the Bluh Furore. Boasting a white colour scheme, minimalist decor and attractive sea views, the restaurant is headed by executive chef Vincenzo Russo under the banner of famous three-Michelin-starred Enrico Bartolini, who is behind some of its legendary signature dishes, such as the half-fried prawn.

WebsiteSituated just outside Amalfi with the elegant Mediterranean landscapes of the Amalfi Coast as a backdrop, this fine-dining restaurant at the beautiful Santa Caterina hotel is perched above the sea and boasts stunning views and a tranquil ambience. Talented chef “Peppe” Stanzione from Salerno is at the helm here, having gained experience in renowned Michelin-starred restaurants in places as far afield as California, Australia, China and Thailand. While his passion for Asia is obvious in some dishes, it is the flavours and recipes of Campania that are to the fore, combined with other more exotic
WebsiteLa Caravella’s history is intricately linked to that of gastronomic tourism on the Amalfi Coast, so much so that it’s impossible to mention all the famous personalities who have dined here and fallen in love with the Dipino family’s cuisine. The food is proudly inspired by local and family traditions, while at the same time constantly seeking to reinterpret these traditions and create new imaginative recipes. Examples include pears cooked in Aglianico wine served with raw shrimps and cow’s ricotta cheese, and raw fish and seafood options accompanied by a careful selection of seasonal vegetable

Although the cuisine focuses mainly on Mediterranean fish and seafood, the menu also features a few meat specialities.
WebsiteAn atmospheric panoramic lift leads from the Casa Angelina hotel to the restaurant: in good weather you can dine on a terrace, by candlelight and with a breathtaking view of the Coast. Leopoldo Elefante's cuisine is Mediterranean and largely dedicated to the sea, although there is never a shortage of excellent meat specialities. Not to be missed is his “soufflé alla pastiera”, a signature dish that combines an international dessert with typically Neapolitan flavours. Great care is given to presentation and the lighting uses various colours to accompany the guest through the different courses,
WebsiteIt would be no exaggeration to say that this restaurant (part of the Villa Cimbrone hotel) is situated in one of the most romantic and exclusive spots in Italy, surrounded by luxuriant Mediterranean vegetation and with stunning views of the Gulf of Salerno.
