Relais del Mare with terrace facing the sea free parking

Francesco was a wonderful host and has a lovely home that fit our needs perfectly for our vacation. Marina Lobra has great restaurants, a small store, a little beach and convenient access to tours to Capri and the Amalfi Coast. I highly recommend this rental.

Lovely three day visit! We enjoyed the quiet and quaintness of this location yet close to all the Amalfi Coast sights. Francesco was so helpful and kind. He arranged our boat tour to Capri and we docked a boat just steps away from the apartment. We would recommend staying in Massa Lubrense!

The VRBO is very nice, just as the pictures showed. We enjoyed sitting on the upper patio deck overlooking the harbor. Francesco was very helpful and helped with a boat trip to the Amalfi coast, as well as Capri. Since we were staying right on the harbor, we only needed to walk down to the boat! We had trouble with the buses. We were under the assumption they ran every hour from the harbor, but they do not! Staying at the harbor is somewhat remote. You will need to catch a bus from the harbor to Massa Lubense main part of town (about a 30 minute walk uphill) and then catch a different bus to go to Sorrento or wherever you need to go. There are at least 3 restaurants that were very good on the harbor. Also, two very small markets to get some essentials. I highly recommend Relais Del Mare for a low key place to stay. Just be aware of the bus times. And, they will not wait for you. You have to be there when they pull up, or they just leave.

There are not enough words to express how magical our stay was at Franceso's apartment! To begin with, Francesco was ESSENTIAL in booking all of our excursions and drivers. I came to him with only a vague idea of what my group wanted to do during our stay, and Francesco went above and beyond providing options and helping to book the tours once we had chosen. He also arranged drivers to pick us up and bring us to the airport/train station at the end of our stay. I can not emphasize enough how kind and attentive Francesco was and how easy he made our plans and travels. The apartment itself is wonderful - clean, bright, in a PERFECT location! We were a group of 6 girls and came with QUITE a bit of stuff, but we felt very comfortable with the amount of space. There is easy access to the water where we swam multiple times a day. We also HIGHLY recommend Angelo's for any and all meals/aperitivo - they were so hospitable and wonderful we ended up eating most of our meals there! Additionally - Giovanna, one of the owners, set us up with a private sunset cruise on our last evening! Her brother owns a boat and was able to give us a wonderful price, complete with fresh cut fruit and prosecco on the boat! This ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The TLDR: If you are thinking about booking with Francesco - DO IT! You will not regret it!

Beautiful place . Great location . Amazing views. Groceries, restaurants, beach , and boats steps away. Booked boat trip with Captain San Pietro company . Ask for Carmine . We were able to board right below the unit . 10/10 stay !

The property was breathtaking!!! The location was gorgeous in front of the port! Watching the sun set was my favorite since we had the most incredible view! Can’t wait to come back !!!

Enjoyed the views and property. Host was so helpful with tours!

This apartment was perfect for our family of 5 - adults and young adult children. Francesco was the most communicative, thoughtful and kind host I've ever had in a VRBO. He helped us to arrange anything and everything we needed, from fantastic outings, restaurant recommendations, to transportation, he helped with it all. We took awesome day trips right from the marina that is steps outside the door. We enjoyed the restaurants that are also only steps away. Antonio had anything we needed at his mini market which is at the bottom of the stairs to the building. We enjoyed Angelo's Bar for apertivo and dinner. Francesco made sure to welcome us by starting off our stay with amenities that were above and beyond. He met us to help carry our luggage up the many stairs to the apartment. He even went so far as to leave some gluten free treats and pasta for my daughter to ensure we would have everything we needed during our stay. He patiently answered every question we had and truly made it so that our vacation was a magical one. Francesco was the embodiment of Italian hospitality and I highly recommend staying here.

Our stay and the property could have been so much better if the host had bothered to show any care and attention to it's condition or our concerns. This was by far the most expensive accommodation we booked for our entire month traveling, but the facilities were amongst the worst. The shower head was old and broken and generally shabby. He told us to use the hand shower instead - not a satisfactory substitute at times.The kitchen facilities were poor. The butane gas bottle was empty, we expected to self cater and that was an issue. The bottle was changed the following afternoon after the host told us that we were doing something wrong. We told him the kettle was broken and the switch dangerous, we asked for a replacement and he seemed unconcerened and told us to boil water in a saucepan. Difficult without any gas. Every concern we raised he dismissed until I sent him video evidence. The apartment could have been amazing with proper hosting but unfortunately really spoiled what should have been a great experience. All in all very poor value for money.

Francesco was absolutely amazing from booking to check out. I originally put in the wrong number of nights and he corrected it. We (3 adults celebrating turning 50) had a fantastic 3 nights in his beautiful apartment. Francesco coordinated pick up, Pompeii, a walk in Sorrento where we are at Aurora Pizzeria, a cruise to Capri Island, and a cruise to Amalfi. The apartment is 44 steps up with an incredible view of the marina. There’s a walking path, swimming in the sea, a market, a couple restaurants and Angelo’s snack bar. We went to all of the places and never left the marina, other than the cruises. We highly recommend if you’re looking for a stay away from the busy crowds.

Francesco (host) was so much help setting up boat trips and other transfers it made our stay even better. The property was perfect for our family. Great views from the main room and deck. We enjoyed the swimming area a short walk away. You are close to Sorento, Capri and Amalfi but just far enough away from all the traffic and tourism in the area. Angelo's snack bar and Antonio's store were favorites, both great guys. We hope to return in the future. 5 stars!
