Italy

Opened in 1904 as a humble guest house, the Hotel Santa Caterina has since transformed into one of the Amalfi Coast's oldest grand hotels. Owned and managed by the same Gambardella family for more than four generations, the property is also a personal expression of local style. Interiors are embellished with 19th century antiques and hand painted ceramic tiles, and even more grand are the exteriors with centuries old gardens and sweeping views of the Bay of Salerno. Elevators cut into the rocks sweep guests to a private beach club complete with a large saltwater pool. The romantic setting amidst orange groves and bright pink bougainvillea has not been lost on big names: Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton stayed here, as did Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

Cut into the Amalfi Coastline in charming Praiano sits Casa Angelina. With a clean, refreshing aesthetic and touches of refined Italian elegance, tranquillity is the theme at this cliff side hotel. While its design ethos and down to earth luxe vision push the boudaries of tradition, this romantic retreat remains firmly rooted in its surrounding. 37-room hotel serves as a sanctuary, bearing a fresh, white-washed aesthetic that accentuates every space, from the azure sea and sky outside to the contemporary artworks on display inside. Outside Casa Angelina, walking distance, waits the authentic charm of Praiano. This peaceful village, sits midway between Positano and Amalfi. Whether you are here for a romantic stay, or with friends or family, every details has been thought of to offer travelers the feeling of being at a milionaire friend's home on the Amalfi Coast. From your room enjoy unobstracted sea views across Positano and Capri.

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the infinite blue surrounding Borgo Santandrea, a mythical beachside hotel on the Amalfi Coast. Nestled between Amalfi and Positano, this absolute gem overlooks the Mediterranean from almost 300 feet above sea level, offering breathtaking views. Its 29 rooms and 16 luxury suites, connected by panoramic terraces, are an exquisite blend of Italian tradition, modernism, and mid century design. It is one of the few hotels on the Amalfi Coast to have its own private shingle beach, which can be accessed directly via an elevator or a scenic path. In the heart of unspoiled scenery, it makes Borgo Santandrea an idyllic and much loved destination, heaven on earth to enjoy alone or with others. This charismatic hotel's exclusivity can also be appreciated at the spa, in the stunning Mediterranean gardens, at the bar or by the pool, sipping a signature cocktail in the setting sun. Finally, its three restaurants—looking out over the sea to the horizon—invite you on a journey of sensations, flavors, and colors.

It’s easy to see why Ravello, and the entire Amalfi Coast, has inspired the likes of Richard Wagner, D.H. Lawrence, and Gore Vidal. The Caruso has long been a favorite of discerning globetrotters. Just 50 guest rooms and suites make for an intimate ambience, and most of the rooms have a sea view, terrace, or private garden. Outside, the infinity-edge swimming pool sits dramatically suspended between sea and sky. Join the head gardener for a private tour of the terraced gardens and enjoy the complimentary boat cruise along the Amalfi Coast, then reserve a romantic candlelit dinner at the open-air Ristorante Belvedere.
