La Costiera Amalfitana

The Divine Coast

Writers, poets and artists have tried for centuries to capture the beguiling essence of la dolce vita along The Amalfi Coast. A coastline so renowned for its divine allure that John Steinbeck rhapsodized in 1953, “a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there but becomes beckoningly real after you are gone.” The picture-perfect towns along Italy’s Amalfi Coast do belong solely to the angels in their otherworldly beauty and the hamlet of Conca dei Marini is beloved for being the unheralded gem amongst them

The Divine Coast

Writers, poets and artists have tried for centuries to capture the beguiling essence of la dolce vita along The Amalfi Coast. A coastline so renowned for its divine allure that John Steinbeck rhapsodized in 1953, “a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there but becomes beckoningly real after you are gone.” The picture-perfect towns along Italy’s Amalfi Coast do belong solely to the angels in their otherworldly beauty and the hamlet of Conca dei Marini is beloved for being the unheralded gem amongst them

Conca Dei Marini

When the sun sets behind the Amalfi Coast’s Lattari Mountains and day turns to evening, gaze your eyes up from the Gulf of Salerno to find a glow, “a superb vision which hovers over the coast like the wing of an angel.”  A short 10-minute drive from Amalfi sits the fishing village of Conca dei Marini, or “the shell of the seafarers”.  Lesser known, but equally as spectacular, Conca dei Marini benefits from being in the heart of the Amalfi Coast, but set in the perfect perch to take in all of the action around and below while being peacefully removed. Descend the precipitous cliff, dotted with some of the Coast’s most beautiful homes, and find the picturesque and storied marina of Conca dei Marini where fishermen have been bringing in the sea’s bounty for centuries.  Overlooking the village, on the cliff-edge of town, almost as a guardian angel to its residents, the monastery sits magnificently.

Monastero Santa Rosa stands alone in majestic solitude, its rock base evoking the robe of a king.
