La Casa di Masaniello - Terrace & Seaview

We had the most amazing time in La Casa di Masaniello. The property is gorgeous with the best views in the whole of Amalfi! We enjoyed the challenge of the steps!

Uitzicht en locatie fantastisch, wel redelijk goede conditie nodig, en gebruik een rugtas geen koffer

This is one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever stayed in. An authentic 300-year-old house with a breathtaking view — it looks even better in person than in the photos. It’s a place for people in good shape, as there are quite a few stairs, but the reward is absolutely worth it. The kitchen is full of character; you can cook some pasta and enjoy it on the terrace while admiring the view. Some walls are a bit cracked and the old furniture shows its age, but that’s exactly what makes the atmosphere so unique. We stayed in four different cities, but this is the only place we truly want to return to. If you’re reasonably fit — don’t even hesitate!

This place was an absolute gem, one of the most authentic places we stayed at during our trip (compared to the sterile vacation stays you often see). The house has an old-time charm, and the view is breathtaking. We had our breakfasts and a dinner here and it was so romantic! I don't really get why people complain so much about the stairs. Yes it's a lot, especially with luggage (don't do the Amalfi coast with a big suitcase). We did far more on the different hikes to and from the various towns we visited. Halfway down the stairs, you can make a right and walk to Amalfi following narrow streets, without having to risk your life on the road. Even though it's within walking distance of Amalfi (±15m), it is so much quieter and authentic. I'd go crazy staying in Amalfi. They didn't spam me with emails days/weeks in advance to pre-register/check-in online. Just on the spot, cash and pic of ID. Less stress. (Do have cash on you, ATMs didn't work for us, only in Amalfi we got cash.) The service of taking out the trash for you is very appreciated, as it's annoying to do with your luggage during check-out.

This is not a negative, as the property doesn't list it as an amenities, but providing some basics like proper shampoo, shower gel, coffee capsules, etc. would be very nice additions that don't cost a lot. Provide some proper dish towels to dry the dishes (there's a drying rack though). Expect a number of people to show up in front of the place to visit the church from "The Equalizer 3" (just to realise you can't visit it without a prior reservation). Don't worry, the place is private/fenced off. (We watched it while there, just to see what the fuss was all about haha) It's true the air gets a bit stale inside, but we just opened everything up when we got back.
