Relais Maresca Capri

You may be surprised, but there are very few waterfront hotels near the beach on Capri. One of these few is Relais Maresca Luxury Small Hotel, a 4 star hotel overlooking Marina Grande and the Bay of Naples.

From the terrace at Relais Maresca, the view stretches far to the horizon across the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea with the dramatic Amalfi Coast and towering Mount Vesuvius in the distance.

Relais Maresca is a small hotel with just 27 rooms located in Marina Grande. The guest rooms are all decorated in traditional island style with ceramic tiled floors and bathrooms. All Superior Rooms face the sea.

Savor this vista in privacy from the Superior sea view rooms, or from the stunning hotel terrace in the company of your fellow guests.

You can spot Relais Maresca as soon as you arrive on Capri, a pretty blue seaside hotel at the bottom of the road leading up from Marina Grande to the center of Capri town. It’s less than 50 meters from the ferry dock to the hotel, or about 20 steps.

It’s less than 50 meters to the beach of Marina Grande, the funicular to the Piazzetta, the bus stop for Anacapri, and the pier where boat tours depart. Each evening, some of the best restaurants on Capri serve dinner along the water’s edge just steps from the hotel.

THE HISTORY 
Relais Maresca is the historic hotel on Capri that has changed its name most often since opening a century and a half ago!

The hotel has been known by seven different names over its long history, but its warm island hospitality has remained unchanged, as has the breathtaking view guests love from the terraces overlooking the sea.

1876
American colonel John Clay Mackowen of New Orleans builds the seaside villa to use as his private residence.

1883
The private villa becomes a hotel, taking the name “Hotel Bristol” and opening a ground floor restaurant known as the “Stanford Restaurant du Louvre”.

1892
The Hotel Bristol partners with Hotel Pagano and Hotel Quisisana to host travellers who prefer to stay on the water’s edge, and changes its name to “Hotel du Louvre”.

1902
Dane Frido Von Meyeren takes over the hotel, which is renamed “Alexandra Miramare”, and the restaurant serves Scandinavian specialties.

1908
The hotel changes name yet again, and the newly baptised “Hotel Vesuvio” opens its doors under its new owner Giulia Cimino, daughter of Colonel Mackowen and wife of Giovanni Maresca, of a wealthy Sorrentine family.

1926
During the First World War, the hotel is known by the name “Hotel Royal” and can host 24 guests under the management of Mario Maresca, son of Giovanni and Giulia.

1937
After a brief life as “Hotel Mercedì Maison Bleue”, the seaside villa is finally dubbed Hotel Maresca and expanded to its current size of 27 guest rooms.
