There are not many waterfront hotels on Capri, but Relais Maresca Luxury Small Hotel is one of the few! With its stunning, one-of-a-kind location right on the Marina Grande beach and just steps from Capri's port and marina, this four star gem is the perfect choice for an unforgettable stay on Capri.

Restored for Romance

You will catch your first glimpse of Relais Maresca from the ferry as it approaches the colorful houses in Capri's historic fishing village of Marina Grande. The residence was built at this spot overlooking the Mediterranean at the end of the 19th century by the American Colonel John Clay Mackowen, and later became one of Capri's first historic hotels.

More than a century has passed since the Relais Maresca Luxury Small Hotel first began welcoming travellers to this stunning island, but the original hospitable atmosphere of an authentic fishing village has remained unchanged, especially as evening falls and the daytrippers to the island have left.

Rooms to Fall in Love In

The interiors of Relais Maresca's perfectly sound-proofed bedrooms, almost all of which boast spectacular views of the Bay of Naples, are decorated in classic Capri style, with majolica floor tiles the color of the sea, soft white drapes and luxurious Italian linen.

An endless view of Capri's sky and sea await guests who book the exclusive Attic room with a private terrace at Relais Maresca. Relax and sunbathe or dine in perfect privacy against the backdrop of the Bay of Naples.

Enjoy the comfort and services of a 4 star hotel in Capri with personalized attention and breathtaking views over the sea surrounding Capri from the balconies of select rooms and the hotel terrace where guests can gather to dine or relax.

Life at theTop

The signature feature of the Relais Maresca Luxury Small Hotel is, without doubt, the Terrazza Maresca restaurant, where guests enjoy the fresh fish and delicious local pasta dishes paired with the best local and national wines whilst gazing down over the buzzing port of Capri below.

The menu at Relais Maresca includes gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan dishes, so everyone can enjoy a meal to remember!

Around and About Capri

Guests at the Relais Maresca Luxury Small Hotel are just steps from the Marina Grande beach, the perfect location for organizing a day at sea, perhaps even a boat tour of the island onboard a traditional gozzo fishing boat, to discover the prettiest beaches and most breathtaking sea caves. Those who want to explore further afield can easily cross over to the Amalfi Coast for a day in Positano.

Just ask the hotel staff to help arrange a private tour or transfer... or even a relaxing spa treatment right in the hotel!

Fantastic stay at Hotel Maresca in Capri. The thing that leaves you breathless is the *view: exceptional*, panoramic over the sea and the gulf that you wake up to and don't want to take your eyes off of. Clean rooms, very kind staff and perfect location for touring the island. *I recommend to everyone* to stay here if you are looking for relaxation, elegance, and the true taste of Capri. We will definitely be back!

Amazing stay at Relais Maresca

We stayed here for three nights during our two week honeymoon to Italy. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome and special. The staff couldn’t have done enough for us during our stay. Iliana sat us down and explained everything about the island and gave recommendations for restaurants and things to do. The hotel is situated in the Marina Grande but is a short walk to the cable car that takes you to Capri town. We were brought to our room which was clean and had a lovely view overlooking the Marina Grande. The hotel kindly gifted us some sparkling wine and chocolate cake to celebrate our honeymoon. Mariam at reception always greeted us with a smile and took some photos of us as we headed out for the evening. The breakfast buffet was delicious and plentiful. We also ate lunch in the hotel restaurant one day. It was a little pricier than other places we ate, but the food was delicious. The gnocchi was the best I have tried! The hotel organised a private boat tour for us during our stay and it was definitely a highlight of our trip! We highly recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Capri. Thank you to all of the staff. (We don’t know everyone’s name but everyone was so nice and helpful.)

We had the pleasure of staying at the Relais Maresca Luxury Small Hotel and it was a memorable experience. The unique and sophisticated design of the rooms, the terrace with a breathtaking view, together with excellent service, made our stay unforgettable. The enchanting beauty of the place was surpassed only by the hospitality and competence of the entire staff. They made us feel at home, surrounded by love, attention, and impeccable service in every detail. We will be back soon! Heartfelt thanks
