Why we love it
The setting
Monastero Santa Rosa sits on a cliff edge above Conca dei Marini, between Amalfi and Positano. The building is a former 17th-century monastery, and the terraced gardens drop down towards the water. Rooms look out over the Gulf of Salerno, and the position means the sea is in view from almost every corner of the property.
What to expect
The heated infinity pool runs along the cliff with the open sea beyond it. There is a spa, an outdoor gym, and terraced gardens planted around the old monastery walls. Rooms are quiet and soundproofed, with stone and whitewashed finishes that fit the original building. Service is attentive without being formal, and the whole place is geared towards slowing down.
Things to do nearby
Amalfi town is a short drive along the coast road, with its cathedral and harbour. Ravello, known for its garden villas and concerts, sits up in the hills above. Salerno, with its old centre and cathedral, is around 17 km east. Hiring a boat or taking the ferry is the easiest way to reach Positano and the smaller coves along this stretch of coast.
Best for
Couples after a calm, scenic stay on the Amalfi Coast. The clifftop setting, the pool, and the spa make it suited to a slow two-night break rather than a sightseeing sprint.
