A paradise! Welcome to Casa del Cavallo, an idyllic, charming and unique holiday refuge with roof terrace and sea view pool at Conca dei Marini. For several years now, Conca dei Marini has been considered a hot tip - idyllic and peaceful, somewhat off the tourists’ tracks along the coast, simply charming. It was the irresistible charm of the "Conchesi", the inhabitants of Conca, which Sergio, owner of Casa del Cavallo, could not resist either.

Within two years he 'created' this unique refuge, which you can imagine only in this place and nowhere else. A narrow ridge juts far out into the sea at this point on the "Amalfitana".

Winding roads hug the rocky, steep coast.

A few more turns and there we are – in Sergio’s paradise, which has become even more enchanting since a small pool (4 m x 2 m) with a view of Capri was added in 2020. LODGING WITH STYLE We pass through an old wooden door onto the property, which is named for a gorgeous, black horse which used to graze below the house.

Fascinated by its beauty and elegance, the owner decided to call the house Casa del Cavallo. We see a long terrace surrounded by lush green, Mediterranean flora and focusing on one view: that of the sparkling blue sea.

Appealing white chairs are arranged around a solid wooden table.

We are fascinated by the atmosphere of dolce vita in this place. The inside of the house too reflects Sergio’s amazing creativity.

By putting a lot of work and passion, his heart and soul into restoring the 3 floors of the run-down, former farmhouse, Sergio has succeeded in creating a unique and appealing atmosphere, which clearly bears his signature of style. GROUND FLOOR – Upon entering, we find ourselves in the long living room with cozy seating areas and appealing, antique furniture.

A small bathroom lies hidden behind a recess with sofa.

We then climb a few steps and pass through an arched doorway into the dining area, which opens onto the terrace.

A long, heavy wooden table is positioned in the center of the room.

The antique tiles adorning the fireplace were taken from local Monastero Santa Rosa after it was abandoned many years ago and then redesigned for touristic purposes.

Passing through another arched doorway, we enter the kitchen.

The shelves are stacked with Vietri ceramics. 1st FLOOR – Climbing a red staircase, takes us to the 1st floor, where we get to see two bedrooms (double bed; twin beds), both with an adorable view of the sea, and an elegant bathroom is also to be found here. 2nd FLOOR – An enormous bookcase is the first thing we catch sight of on our way up to the 2nd floor.

We have arrived in Sergio’s studio.

Looking around, our gaze wanders from the high cupola ceiling out through the large windows onto the seemingly unlimited sea. From the studio, we step out onto the roof terrace with antique 18th century maiolica floor tiles manufactured at Giustiniani ceramics and once covering the floor of an old church at Amalfi.

While our eyes follow the graceful coastal formation, the day slowly draws to a close. And our tour of the house too comes to an end in the third bedroom, from where you have also got a terrific view of the sea.

A narrow bathroom lies right behind the double bed.

The wooden door at the far end of the room opens onto the outdoor area.

It is a relic from times gone by, when a horse was kept in this room. Furnishing of Casa del Cavallo also includes: air conditioning (in the bedrooms) and gas heating (extra charge for both in case of use), fireplace (dining room), WiFi, TV, washing machine, children’s bed. A POOL FACING THE ISLE OF CAPRI – During the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown, Sergio thought about how to make use of the stay-at-home time.

He used it to realize a beautiful add-on to Casa del Cavallo on the terraced premises stretching out below the house – a small 4 m x 2 m pool with a view across the deep blue sea and as far as the Isle of Capri. A vegetable garden was also laid-out on the redesigned premises.

From what is growing there, guests staying at Casa del Cavallo may and should pick anything their hearts and stomachs desire. PARKING: Parking might be available in front of the house, which is located at the end of a cul-de-sac (serpentine road), can however not be guaranteed, as this is not part of the property.

A roofed parking space at the beginning of the access road, about 300 m from the house, can be reserved for an extra charge. FURTHER INFORMATION Grocery stores, bars and restaurants are ca. 700 m from Casa del Cavallo, a bus stop is 500 m off.

From Conca dei Marini, SITA busses head for the towns of Amalfi, Positano, Ravello and Sorrento.

The nearest beach is about 1.5 km off. From Monday to Saturday, the "Lemon Tour" at restaurant Le Bontà Del Capo, which is only a short walk from the holiday home, provides culinary insight into your holiday region.
