Experience the unique pleasure of staying in an ancient Carthusian monastery on the beach of Marina del Cantone in Nerano, the picturesque fishing village of Massa Lubrense on the Sorrentine Peninsula, where the tradition of family hospitality lives on. Book a room at Hotel La Certosa, an intimate and romantic three-star hotel housed inside a building dating back to the 15th century.
An ancient convent transformed into a hotel
Privacy and exclusivity are the two defining qualities of Hotel La Certosa, a 15th-century convent set right on the beach of Marina del Cantone, ideal for couples looking for a romantic setting for a special occasion, or for families in search of a quiet and relaxing retreat. The building still bears traces of its past, the arched facade, upper-floor windows, barrel vaulted ceilings and majolica tile floors.
Hotel La Certosa has 16 spacious and bright rooms, furnished in Mediterranean style with all modern comforts, ensuite bathrooms decorated with colourful local ceramics, and the kind of atmosphere that feels like home. Every room is flooded with light through large windows offering beautiful sea views. Some rooms also have a small private terrace, the perfect spot for unforgettable moments, like watching the sunset reflected on the water.
The perfect position for a seaside holiday
The greatest asset of Hotel La Certosa is undoubtedly its location: the sea is just a few metres away, go down a few steps and you're on a pebble beach with sun loungers and parasols reserved exclusively for hotel guests, ready for long days of sunbathing, swimming and snorkelling in the crystal-clear waters of the bay.
Restaurant "Da Pappone"
The hotel restaurant is a small gastronomic paradise: the breathtaking natural setting, with the deep blue of the sea visible from every table, is matched by the quality of the traditional regional dishes prepared by cooks Luisa and Rosiris, full of the flavours and aromas of the Sorrentine Peninsula. Shellfish, blue fish and seafood take centre stage, alongside the best the land has to offer.
The menu always features the best of the day's catch, with fish grilled or served raw as the star of every lunch and dinner. The legendary dish, however, is the spaghetti alla Nerano, courgettes, basil and parmesan blended with Provolone del Monaco cheese, an absolute must. The cellar offers a selection of DOC wines, including white Capri, Costa d'Amalfi and Penisola Sorrentina, DOCG Fiano and Greco, DOC Falanghina and DOC Aglianico.
A terrace that feels like summer all year round
One of the most beautiful corners of the Certosa is the terrace with its enchanting view over the bay, where the mild climate gives guests the feeling that it is always summer. This is the perfect place to spend a lazy afternoon sipping a drink, reading a book, playing cards or ordering a snack at the bar, and from here, just three steps lead directly down to the beach.
Day Trips from Hotel La Certosa
