“A luxurious retreat in a stunning location. Beautiful rooms in whites and creams with splashes of colour and private balconies. Fabulous restaurants, private beach (reached by a glass lift through the cliff face) and luscious gardens with citrus groves. A tranquil and romantic spot.”

Hotel review

The original building was constructed in 1880 by Giuseppe Gambardella. Today the 66 luxurious rooms and suites are run by Giusi and Ninni, Giuseppe’s granddaughters. A breathtaking view overlooking the sea makes it an ideal spot to pause along the famous Amalfi drive. Rooms are luxurious, body treats are available, and the gardens are lush with citrus groves. Two restaurants cater for gourmands.
