Reviews of Casa Despina

Stunning views and amazing space

September 2025 - Stunning views. Amazing space on the outside terrace.

Quite easy to walk to Ravello and down to Amalfi, although the walk up the path from Amalfi was tough work and only suitable for the young or very fit. Bus down to Amalfi quite easy and cheap.

Overall, we were very pleased with the location, comfortably away from the tourist hordes, though some might find it too quiet.

Perfect place on the Amalfi Coast

July 2025 - Once again, this apartment is a perfect place to enjoy the Amalfi Coast. It's close enough to Amalfi and Ravello, yet far enough away to provide a quiet and relaxing atmosphere.

Parking is always a challenge, but that is one of the adventures that comes with such a good location. ì

Thank you again for opening up your wonderful home!

Once again, a great big thank you to the team at Summer in Italy! I know I am ALWAYS well taken care of when I book one of your fantastic holiday homes!

Travel tips

Beautiful apartment with stunning views

July 2025 - The apartment is beautiful, the town very lovely, you can visit beautiful historical sites with views of the Amalfi Coast.

The view from the terrace is amazing to enjoy in the evening.

Giuseppina [the owner] was very attentive upon our arrival and answered all inquiries.

Beautiful and Peaceful Stay

July 2025 - Host was great at communicating. The place was beautiful and peaceful.

Local café and restaurants were fantastic. Only 25 minute walk to Amalfi.

Their restaurant La Palme in Atrani was superb. Highly recommend you will not be disappointed.

Lovely accommodation on Amalfi Coast

June 2025 - Very nice accommodation in a relaxing place and close to all visits on foot or by bus.

The view is magnificent and it is pleasant to have meals on the terrace facing the sea.

Giuseppina [the owner] is very kind and gives good advice.

Go there for a relaxing stay away from the crowd while enjoying the beautiful Amalfi Coast.

Beautiful apartment with stunning views

January 2025 - The apartment was beautiful and matched the description and pictures.

You can’t find a better view than that!! Be ready to walk a LOT of stairs if you stay, but the views and comfortable apartment are well worth it!

The host was very friendly and responds quickly to messages which made our stay easy.

Perfect hosts, spotless house

September 2024 - Salvatore and Teresa were perfect hosts, very accommodating and kind. The place was spotless.

I must say I think I lost weight going to Italy thanks to the steps!

Thank you again for everything.

Amazing place in Pontone

July 2024 - Amazing place in the beautiful authentic Pontone.

The view from the terrace is incredible. Communication was extremely good.

They even did some shopping for us, so we arrived with a fridge filled with local specialities.

Really recommend this place.

Great time in a brilliant apartment

July 2024 - Has a great time, amazing apartment in a brilliant location would highly recommend

Beautiful views and relaxing terrace

June 2024 - This has a beautiful view. It was nice to have access to a clothes washer out on the deck. The large terrace was so nice to sit, relax and enjoy the view.

Be prepared to have many stairs to walk down to Amalfi if you do not want to take the bus.

The restaurant San Giovanni had great food and a beautiful view as well.

Amazing stay at Salvatores

June 2024 - We had an amazing stay at Salvatore's [the owner] . The space is beautiful. It is hard to find at first but he sent someone to greet us in an easy to find location. Parking is on the road and he set us up a local permit.

In the reviews there are a lot of comments about the stairs. If you have visited ANYWHERE in the Amalfi Coast be prepared for the stairs! That's the price you pay for an elevated view point!

His restaurant was also beautiful and if you get the chance to eat there please do. Thank you again, we had a great time!

Stunning view and terrace experience

May 2024 - Nice spot with a stunning view and terrace.

It’s a bit of a trek to get there, so you must be fine with lots of steps, but of course that’s what makes the Amalfi region what it is!

Great view and lovely veranda

May 2024 - Make sure you know what you are in for. If you have heavy luggage make sure you have a car you can leave it in and take out what you need for your stay. The 80 steps above the center means you have to walk up said 80 steps to the front door, and to get to said center you have to walk up an inclined alley (15-20 feet wide) about 3 stories up.

With that being said the veranda and the view are worth visiting and alone is worth 10 stars, but the accessibility and an interior space that is on par with other places we have stayed at overall rating is 4 stars.
