Monastero Santa Rosa Hotel & Spa, Amalfi Coast

Description: Monastero Santa Rosa Hotel & Spa

Enjoying a spectacular location perched on a cliff overlooking the gulf of Salerno, Monastero Santa Rosa Hotel & Spa is set in a painstakingly restored 17th century monastery, surrounded by beautiful gardens. Offering breathtaking views of the bay of Amalfi and the surrounding coastline, this boutique property provides luxurious accommodation in an unsurpassable setting.

Perfect for visiting the Costiera Amalfitana, Monastero Santa Rosa stands secluded above the famous Blue Highway near the picturesque fishing village of Conca dei Marini. The hotel is just a 20-minute car or boat ride from many of the most scenic towns and villages along this glamorous coastline, including Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. For guests seeking more energetic relaxation, the Sentiero degli Dei, "Path of the Gods", stretching from Agerola to Praiano and Positano, passes through blissfully quiet mountains with haunting panoramas. The island of Capri, the jewel in the bay of Naples' crown, is just a short ferry ride from Positano. Naples itself is just over an hour's drive away, while Pompeii and Vesuvius are also within easy reach.

Monastero Santa Rosa Hotel & Spa has just 20 rooms and suites, many occupying the transformed rooms and refectory of the nuns of this ancient monastery. Exquisitely furnished and decorated, the rooms now offer the maximum in comfort and style. Guests can also enjoy the exclusive Santa Rosa restaurant, specialising in gourmet Mediterranean fusion cuisine, featuring the finest locally sourced produce.

Beneath vaulted arched ceilings these bedrooms showcase contemporary Italian style juxtaposed with antique period pieces bringing the past into the present. Decorated with fine Italian white linens and neutral tones to calm the spirit, these rooms, named after herbs from Monastero Santa Rosa's own garden, feel like a private boudoir.

Sea View Deluxe Open Space Suite:
The Sea View Deluxe Open Space Suite (Laurus) is the only one of its kind in the hotel and contains a unique historical context. Once a nun's refectory, the open-plan room reflects and preserves this heritage. An elegantly furnished living room stands before the bedroom, with its green-and-gold, antique-framed king-size bed, and large bathroom. This bedroom has ample closet space due to the additional storage provided by the custom-made, stylish closet partition that separates the bedroom space from the living room sitting area.
The entire space looks out directly over the gardens, infinity pool, and Gulf of Salerno. The extraordinary bathroom is designed in dark wood and Jerusalem stone with a separate walk-in shower and soaking tub for relaxing baths.
