Hotel Santa Caterina, Amalfi Coast

About Hotel Santa Caterina

High on a cliff top amidst scented lemon and orange groves, the superb Hotel Santa Caterina enjoys an unprecedented position with breathtakingly uninterrupted views out to sea.

Converted from a charming old villa, this elegant hotel comes with a first-class service that perfectly complements its chic atmosphere and understated elegance.

The beautifully appointed guestrooms are stylishly decorated throughout with care and an attention to detail. Junior Suites with front sea view and balcony are available in either the main building or in the Villa Santa Caterina, which is located at the far end of the garden via a pathway through the orange and lemon groves.

If you are looking for the ultimate in luxury, the Santa Caterina has some exclusive Suites that are individually designed, and have a lounge, television, private terrace with sea view and bathroom with bath, shower and mini whirlpool. The Casa del Limone Suite is located in the main building, and the Casa dell'Arancio and Follia Amalfitana Suites are within the grounds of the hotel enjoying a peaceful, secluded location. The luxurious bathroom of the Follia Amalfitana Suite has a sunken whirlpool and floor-to-ceiling windows, which look out across the beautiful bay of Salerno. For romantic couples, the Casa Degli Sposi Suite is the ideal retreat.

Enjoy a chilled drink on the terrace before heading to the hotel's restaurant where fresh and delicious local cuisine is prepared using some of the hotel's own produce that is grown on site. Dine amongst the sophisticated surroundings of the dining room with bougainvillea adorning its walls.

Flower-filled terraced gardens cascade from the hotel down to sea level, where there is a seawater swimming pool and sun terrace that are easily reached by a panoramic lift or a flight of steps.

The Hotel Santa Caterina is a truly luxurious hideaway that embodies a natural elegance and calm surrounded by the lush greenery of its gardens and azure sea.

About Amalfi Coast

Italy's most spectacular stretch of coastline with steep-stepped Positano, clinging to tall cliffs; Amalfi with its whitewashed villas, fisherman's dwellings, merchant town houses and luxury hotels that overlook sapphire coloured seas; and beautiful Ravello, whose lofty setting offers inspirational views.



AMALFI

Amalfi sits in the ravine of the Valle dei Mulini. Its churches, towers and arcaded houses are grouped together with attractive irregularity, rising above a small harbour. The town's Duomo dominates a long flight of steps and embraces a colourful piazza around which, and stretching to its seafront, narrow streets are interspersed with tempting pasta and pizza restaurants and lively cafes.



MAIORI

Maiori was founded during the Roman Empire when the fashion was for the aristocracy to have a villa by the coast. Today, it is the largest seaside resort on the Amalfi Coast, with a long promenade lined with beach bars and restaurants, and a long stretch of volcanic beach.



CONCA DEI MARINI

Close to Amalfi is Conca dei Marini, a town which is set on the promontory that looks to the left over a little natural inlet and to the right over the inlet of the Emerald Grotto.
