8 of the Most Romantic Hotels on the Amalfi Coast
The Most Romantic Hotel Views on the Amalfi Coast
- The adults-only Hotel Botanico San Lazzaro above Mairori, enjoys dreamy views, especially from its dining terrace. Rooms combine tradition with craft - think hand-painted furniture, tiled floors and silk fabrics. Terraced gardens are heady with lemons and orchids, plus there’s a pool. And it’s only a stroll away from a lovely beach.
- For those who prefer their accommodation to be sleek and modern then Casa Angelina is the perfect romantic property. It's a cool designer pad with more stunning views and stylish accommodation which includes gorgeous little converted fishermen's cottages for two, right on the beach.
The Most Romantic Honeymoon Hotels on the Amalfi Coast
- For spoiling luxury and romance, for many people it has to be the stunningly situated town of Ravello, high above the coast. Villa Cimbrone, set on a hilltop of its own just outside the town, makes both the perfect wedding and also honeymoon venue. Gardens roll away to the cliff edge while the rooms of this former private villa are grand with vaulted ceilings, frescoes, tiled floors and antiques. There’s also a pool and Michelin-starred restaurant.
- If you really want to impress - and have deep pockets - Ravello’s Belmond Hotel Caruso won’t let you down. Oozing old-school glamour, its rooms combine classic Italian styling - rich fabrics, exposed stonework, antiques - with modern comforts; most have private balconies. There’s a beautiful dining terrace with unbelievably romantic views.
The Most Romantic Spa Hotels on the Amalfi Coast
- Clinging to the cliffs above the tiny fishing village of Conca dei Marini, Monastero Santa Rosa Hotel & Spa guarantees privacy. The former convent has been converted into just 20 bedrooms, classically understated and each with stunning views. With a top-notch spa, terraced gardens and infinity pool, this is a place for romance and relaxation.
The Most Romantic Hideaway Hotels on the Amalfi Coast
- If you want privacy but also to be close to the action, choose pretty Positano where the buildings seem to tumble down to the sea. Le Sirenuse, a former 18th-century palazzo, is as seductive as it sounds, with rooms shimmering with Vietri-tiled floors, glowing-white walls and beautiful Italian antiques. Lemon trees line the pool terrace while the Michelin-starred dining-room, flickering with candles, has to be the prettiest on the coast.
- The family-run Hotel Santa Caterina, just outside Amalfi town, is a grand, 19th-century villa tucked into the cliffs and with a private beach. Rooms are boldly styled - some with private pools - mixing the contemporary with Italian antiques and rich drapes. There are also two very pretty, gourmet restaurants.
The Most Affordable Romantic Hotels on the Amalfi Coast
- The bougainvillea-draped terraces of Palazzo Murat, an elegant 18th-century townhouse tucked away in the centre of Positano, are a perfect romantic backdrop to lazy breakfasts and early-evening drinks. Rooms are large, cool and elegant, many with private terraces, plus there’s a lovely sleek infinity pool.
