We loved this place! Initially we were surprised to learn how far Massa Lubrense is from Sorrento but then we were relieved upon arrival. It was far superior to the touristy overload of Sorrento. A lovely small coastal town with all you need right there. The hotel itself was perfect. Staff great. Highly recommend.

Amalfi Coast Gem!!
This location is perfect for families who want to visit the Amalfi coast and live in a low key area right on the beach. There are few hotels here but they are more like family run B&B's. La Certosa was great, Allessandro and Alfonso, both brothers run this place with family and they do a great job. Their service is excellent and they cater to each and every client. Location is on the beach, you get food at your beach chairs, great way to wind down and relax!! The town is 5 kms away, and it is right between Sorrento and Positano.We rented a small car, parked for free at Certosa private yard in a small alley way, we drove late afternoon and evenings to Sorrento and Positano. PERFECT!!

Very Good
We had an amazing time on our 3 nights stay! The rooms with the sea view and terrace are probably the best. The hotel and restaurant down stairs is family run. It is basic but very pleasant. The best part is its location in the middle of the tiny strip of Marina del Cantone. Steps to Crystal clear waters, amongs amazing local restaurants and possibly to cruise to other destinations. We would definitely stay again.

Characterful property right next to the sea
Amazing location literally meters from the crashing sea! Right on the beach, we had a lovely small balcony so could see the whole bay from our room. A bit difficult to locate and find the front door, might be tricky with heavy luggage. We went out of season (only us staying) so was a little cold. The hotel is dated but full of character.

Nice location, expensive parking.
We got a rough start, because we was not expecting a 15€ pr night extra for parking. Allesandro at the check in was welcoming. But we must say the rest of the staff was rather rude. The room was smal, with no view, and the ac was not working before late at night. The second night we told the staff about the warm room, and they just replied that it was cold outside and no need for AC. Allesandro was again helpful and turned the ac on for us. Turned out that the ac is off if no-one asks to turn it on. The location is beautiful with free beach chairs and umbrellas. Nice hikes in the area and plenty of restaurants/bars for most people.

Hotel Certosa is a small, traditional family run Italian albergho. It's simple, clean and comfortable. The location is superb - right on the beach at Marina del Cantone. The family have run the place for three generations. Everyone was so helpful and friendly and the hotels restaurant has a great chef. It was just what we wanted - good hotel, good service, good value, giving us a complete break, peace and quiet, beautiful views all around, walking, bus service, sea swimming and boating and great places to eat.

Beautiful, romantic hotel
Recently returned from a short break in this delightful hotel. Situated right on the beach in Massa Lubrense, it is a little gem. We had a room with a sea view and terrace, well worth the extra money. Breakfast was an absolute feast. We ate at the hotel each evening, and the food was well cooked, honest, home cooking, wonderful. Hotel was really quiet, as out of season, but the staff were still attentive and helpful. Only thing to warn about, the hotel is over 2 floors, and as there isn't a lift, the stairs can be fairly hard work. If you want an away from it all break, I would totally recommend this hotel. Will be going back again later in the year.

Lovely place
Lovely place on the beach, room was very small given the available floor space was filled with our 2 bags and we booked a triple room and got a double which is why it only got 3 stars. It was very clean comfortable and had a great views of the ocean. Service was excellent. Wifi only worked a proportion of the time. The hotel has sun beds on the beach sectioned off for guests. It is a very busy beach. Food in the restaurant was superb. Parking was at the rear in a public car park and cost an additional 15 Euros a day

Romantic. Beautiful. Scenic. Spectacular Views.
We stayed for our honeymoon for 7 days. It was wonderful especially for the price! The restaurant Pappone was delicious and good value! The rooms were so clean and the bathrooms were hand painted tiles. It is air conditioned which is a real luxury especially in the 3pm heat. I would recommend this to anyone. If you want a low key holiday, with great walks, THE BEST SEAFOOD then this is your place. We also caught a boat for €35 euro and travelled to Amalfi and Positano - which was super nice for comparison. Those towns are super touristy and busy. It made us realize how special le Certosa is. We wish we were still there.

Fabulous family run hotel on the beach.
We had the most amazing 2 week holiday staying at La Certosa. The hotel is family run and full of history. It is located in the beautiful Marina del Cantone which too has a family feel to it. Nothing is every too much trouble and the atmosphere is relaxed and laid back. Perfect for that wind down vacation.

Perfect Getaway!
This is a family owned hotel/restaurant and our relaxation heaven. It's a small fishing village about 45 minute bus ride from Sorrento and a boat ride to Capri. The family is very sweet, helpful and attentive, they were very well informed and took time to help us with our transportation issues. If you are looking for peace, a few days to decompress and just enjoy the beauty of Italy- then this is a great place. Lot's of great restaurants all around. We had one of the rooms with a balcony and a view of the sunrise and sunset. We spent a day on the mini-beach area, and enjoyed some wine from the local shop. The rooms are very clean, comfortable and reasonable size. It's still not A/C season over there so a bit warm at night but it was nice to hear the waves crashing. Grazie per una meravigliosa esperienza! We will definitely be going back!

We stayed three days in this thousand year old monastery with a modern twist to it.i must say it does not look as picturesque as its neighbouring seafront hotels but it more than makes up in character.This hotel is a clean and friendly family affair.We asked for a bedroom with sea view balcony luckily managing to get one of only four available, these though had only viewing from above the bricked balcony ie roof terrace but was fine once you cushioned a chair.

Hotel in excellent location, good value for money.
Staff helpful and fun. Food very good, standard room with sea view has a very useful balcony. The cove has several restaurants on stilts, so you get a fabulous view of the ocean and do not need to travel to eat out. The super rich pull their yachts into the bay to eat, so a great place to people watch. We particularly liked the pizzeria and bar next to this. We found it a good location to explore the region and have sometime on the beach. We have no hesitation in recommending it to others but it would help if visitors go with some basic Italian phrases. Definitely a place to return to, which is high praise, as the world is a big place. We could not believe we got that lucky, booking a holiday on the internet can feel risky but La Certosa exceeded our expectations. We had a great holiday, thanks.

A true gem in a secluded harbor of Amalfi Coast
My parents recommended this place after staying here a few years ago. It's a perfect place for someone who has a car, although, there are bus and boat services close by. This is a true gem in the middle of nowhere, but so well connected to everything. Just half an hour away from Sorrento, 45 min away from Positano and the boats to Capri and Amalfi coast right in front of the hotel. It's run by a wonderful family and it feels like family. The hotel's restaurant serves some of the best homemade Italian cuisine I've ever had. The mother of the household bakes fresh pies every day from local ingredients, makes her own pasta and they serve daily catch (fish, seafood) every day. The house wine, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, cheese, veggies, fruits and even limoncello is from the local areas - delicious! Younger son makes delicious cappuccinos every morning. It's quiet. The beach is clean and cozy - one of the best we've visited in Amalfi Coast. Waking up to the sound of the Mediterranean sea right in front of the hotel is delicious. Not a sound. Everything acts like a family. We are a young outgoing couple from NYC who travel a lot and we couldn't be more happier with this place. I'd come here again in a few years and with our children, when we have them. It's both romantic, perfect for a couple, as well as for a family with kids. I'll definitely miss this place! Not even the beaches of Capri, Sorrento and Positano could compare with this place!

Friendly Owners
The hotel was very clean! The owners were very friendly and helpful with any questions that we asked them. I would recommend this hotel to others! The hotel is right on the water! The hotel is accessible from Sorrento by bus, which is approximately a 40 minute ride, but doesn't seem that long once on it.

Località con molti problemi
La struttura ha il vantaggio di essere vicino al mare.La spiaggia, costituita da grossi sassi, è antistante l'hotel, ma, purtroppo è impraticabile senza robuste scarpette ed è nella zona dell'unico pontile, dove approdavano e partivano un centinaio di barche al giorno per le gite nelle località circostanti. Si era quindi, a pochi metri, negli scarichi di tali barche e purtroppo anche in un mare infestato da meduse che ci ha costretto ad anticipare la partenza di tre notti su sette, essendo io allergico con grave pericolo per la mia salute. Nessuno sconto è stato praticato.Non esistendo alternative il parcheggio obbligato è molto caro.
