Romantic cottage, wide terrace overlooking the sea.

Thanks to some unhappy reviews, we took actions to make your stay at La Clarissa always a better experience.
We have:
- a brand new fridge, renovated table & chairs and marble table on the terrace
- done an accurate maintenace at all the windows.
- a new cleaning staff.
- The parking now has less slope to get in.
Take note that, the parking is an option, you may ask for that but, it won’t be be included in the website prices.

'La Clarissa', a romantic cottage on the S.S. Amalfitana, is 800 meters from the pretty village of Minori. Attention to detail, with the large terrace projected on Marmorata Bay, it's ideal for a couple looking for a relaxing corner nestled in the beautiful Amalfi Coast. The house consists of two levels connected internally by a spiral staircase and externally by a large staircase on the terrace.
Upper level: bedroom with double bed, bathroom (WC) and balcony to the sea.
Lower level: living room with sofa bed, bathroom with shower, kitchen and terrace overlooking the sea with outdoor shower.
The house has a private parking space at 150 mt. At 50 meters from the villa there is a bus stop linking the tourist resorts of the coast (Amalfi, Ravello, Positano). From the pier of Minori boats leave connecting with daily trips, even in the evening, Positano and Amalfi

Perfect place and spotless. Easy check in. Close to town. On a busy street but all streets on the Amalfi are busy. The local rep - Mario - was attentive and available. Would stay there again.

Fantastic View!
After a bit of difficulty finding this place, our fault for not using google maps! we were welcomed by the property manager who had been very patient with us attempting to locate the apartment. The apartment is as advertised. There is a spiral staircase connecting the bedroom and the main floor that is quite steep but we utilized the outside staircase to carry our bags in and out. There is noise as other reviewers have stated but we live in a large city and were not bothered by the traffic. The view from the patio and bedroom walkout is spectacular! We took advantage of both the bbq and a washing machine. Parking was off site and cost extra. We chose to leave the car parked and walked everywhere. The host provided a few items for our first breakfast which was greatly appreciated.

Spectacular Terrace View of the Sea!
We enjoyed sitting on the terrace drinking coffee and wine. Mario was exceptionally helpful with arrival, check-in and activity suggestions. Mario arranged a driver to take us to various locations along the coast. This experience was very memorable. We visited in February, outside of peak tourist season so the traffic was manageable. The ten minute walk to Minori along the busy winding road was scary at times. This place is not suitable for anyone with mobility challenges. Taxi from Salerno train station costs anywhere from 75 -90 euros.

Breath-taking view
The incredible view from each and every room in this adorable villa was quite simply amazing. The tiny kitchen was so well equipped we were able to cook and enjoy the terrace for dinner and drinks and soak up the view as much as we possibly could. The bedroom upstairs was really comfy with an ensuite loo so you didn't need to go downstairs during the night. The spiral staircase was quite steep but gave us no issues at all but if you had mobility issue this may not be the place for you. We were able to park very close by and the manager was amazing, he sent us ideas of where to go where to eat what to see etc and responded so quickly when we contacted him. Generally he was a lovely helpful chap. The bedroom was a little noisy in the mornings with the traffic being so very close but we were aware of this before we booked and the view and the convenience of being so close to the town made up for it. We were up early anyway to soak up as much of the view as possible! We walked each day down into Minori and you are on the main Amalfi drive so the traffic can be a little scary but they are used to seeing pedestrians and if you take care and keep your wits about you it is absolutely fine, part of the adventure really. It takes about ten mins to walk down into town where there are many options for food and drinks and the ferry as well to explore the rest of the coast of you don't want to drive. We totally loved it and perfect for exploring the Amalfi coast from a quiet spot

La Dolce Vita again
This was the second time we have stayed at La Clarissa - the first was ten years ago - and again it lived up to everything we wanted. The Villa is perfect for a couple although three could work at a squeeze. Its two key features are first the wonderful south facing terrace with its views and where you can watch the comings and goings in the bay below and secondly its walkable closeness to wonderful little Minori a quintessential Italian coastal town with its restaurants, shops and welcoming atmosphere. All too often on the Amalfi Coast you can be perched in a spectacular spot that requires hundreds of steps to reach or a car/bus ride to the nearest town - not La Clarissa! Anna the owner is very approachable and Mario the fixer is always on hand to give brilliant advice and deal with any problems. We had a car so there was extra to pay for the parking spot but it's not essential and anyway the best way to see Amalfi, Positano, Cetara, Capri and Sorrento is to go by ferry. Finally some have mentioned the road which is right outside the front door. It is busy with lots of scooters and yes it can be a bit noisy at rush hour and the SITA buses do hoot at every opportunity but you soon get used to it and in no way does it affect your enjoyment of this unique little gem. La Clarissa awaits - if you love everything that Italy provides you won't be disappointed!

A slice of paradise
We had the most unforgettable stay...my teenage son wants to move to Ravello! The view was unbeatable, whether getting dressed in the morning, fixing a snack in the afternoon or drinking wine on the terrace at sunset....a view from every room. Chrystal clear beach and great restaurants within walking distance, bus stop across the street - the location was amazing. We visited the busier towns of Positano and Amalfi and the quieter neighbouring towns by bus and by ferry - we hiked the Path of Gods and Path of Lemons, every location was very accessible. The Property Manager and Mario were very communicative and provided exceptional service. Mario helped us out of a bind on more than one occasion , he was so doting and helpful and always with a smile on his face - the best service we received on our entire 3-week trip to Italy.

16 Sweet Days with an Extraordinary View
We chose this rental for the terrace and -night and day- it didn’t disappoint. The flat was the right size for the two of us and the location - just a 10 minute walk to Minori although it has a Ravello address- made for easy treks to restaurants and stores. We did use the parking for our rental car and it was fine although not on the premises. The spiral staircase was fun but not for those with mobility issues. We didn’t mind the closeness of the street or the traffic. Since this was a longer stay -over two weeks- it would have been helpful to have things like trash bags, soap, etc. for a longer stay. We had to ask for trash bags and we couldn’t find the broom vacuum cleaner for about a week. Mario - the property manager- oversees over 20 properties and so sometimes it took a day for him to get back to us when we had questions. All in all, it was a pleasant stay and -again- the view is unbeatable.

The Absolute Best View!
We thoroughly enjoyed our 5-night stay in the cottage! There is a small balcony off the upstairs bedroom with a spectacular view of the Mediterranean Sea!! You can lay in the bed and enjoy a postcard view when the doors are open! There is also a large terrace on the second level (you can see in the pictures) with gorgeous views. There’s a small half bath off the bedroom and a larger full bathroom downstairs. We hardly used the kitchen or the living room because we spent our time roaming through the Amalfi Coast. As others have mentioned, the bedroom is positioned so that it is right off the road. We were able to sleep fine but there is a lot of beeping of horns early in the mornings. The only issue we had was that neither air conditioner worked so it was pretty warm as we slept. Mario was a great help with arranging transportation to restaurants for us. Otherwise, we walked to town for breakfast a few mornings. We would definitely stay here again for the views alone!

This was a trip of a lifetime! My husband and I enjoyed every minute of our stay. This property was exactly what the pictures showed. The views were incredible. The location was perfect. We were able to walk everywhere. It’s a short walk to Minori for dinner or drinks or to the public beach. We also walked to Almafi which took us about 45 Minutes. Mario the man who checked us in and took care of everything we needed will forever hold a special place in our heart. He and his girlfriend Filo went above and beyond to make our stay special. They invited us for dinner at their home. It was a night to remember. Make sure you check out Bar Bambi. Micheala the owner also holds a special place in our hearts. The extra service and wonderful drinks are top notch. Alba Cafe is a 5 min walk toward Almafi. What a treat to have a restaurant that the locals go to that is so close with amazing food and beautiful views. The only reason I give this property 4 stars is because the wood fire grill that is pictured was not ready for use. There were no tools to make pizza or anything to start the grill. No worries we found the best wood fire pizza at the Restaurant Giardiniello. Thank you for a wonderful trip!❤️

Incredible stay in paradise! The view from the terrace is spectacular and the apartment was carefully designed with a beautiful kitchen and lovely bathrooms. Our host Mario went above and beyond to help us make the most of our stay. Minori is lovely with easy access to Amalfi and The Path of the Gods not to mention excellent restaurants and cafes. As an American I found walking on the road outside the villa as cars whizzed by a bit intimidating but it's all part of the experience and it's actually very safe. A true highlight of our Italian vacation!

Brief holiday in Amalfi area
Stunning views and beautiful terrace to enjoy them. Very easy walk into town of Minori (6 mins) and lovely long walks both to Meiori (on the ancient lemon trail) and up partway towards Ravello via Castigliano through Atrani and to Amalfi, with a 15 minute water taxi back. Because the Villa is located very near a blind corner on the windy road, buses and cars honk often (even at night) to warn oncoming vehicles of their approach, so it’s a little noisy - but expected.

Excellent Stay and location
Beautiful little VRBO, with stunning terrace with unobstructed view of the sea. We enjoyed all our meals on the terrace. Place was well stocked with everything needed in the kitchen, beach mats and umbrella and even a BarBQ on the terrace. The kitchen had a windo with direct access to the terrace which made it easy to move food and drinks back and forth. Location is 5-10 minute walk to Minori, and a bus stop just down the street can take you to Amalfi or Salerno for $1.30 per person. Only two issues that may be of concern to some people. The door to the apartment is right on the street. Somewhat common it Italy, but this might be an issue with some people. First day was odd, after that we got used to it. Second issue may be the circular stairs from bedroom to rest of unit - only an issue if you have mobility issues. I would highly recommend this site to get the full experience of the Amalfi Coast.

Beautiful property but no wifi
I stayed at La Clarissa for a week with my daughter. The view from the patio was stunning, truly beautiful! It was a 7 minute walk into the town of Minori where we bought produce and other groceries. In town we were also able to buy tickets for the bus and then get on/off the bus. This property was advertised as having WiFi. It did not work the entire time we were staying there. Someone came out to “fix” it a couple of times but it never worked. This made researching bus schedules, train schedules, and other activities very difficult and became very frustrating. If you are planning to come to the Amalfi coast to mostly just stay put, this is the place for you, but don’t plan on using wifi here.
