In the know

Our favourite rooms

Although we do love the views of Priano from the Grand Deluxe Suite’s Duravit Starck bath tub, Junior Suite 401 has to be the most reach-for-the-camera impressive, with a vast private terrace offering 180º views of Positano and Capri from the comfort of a luxurious lounger. 150 steps down from the main hotel beside the private beach, Casa Angelina’s four airy apartments come with Bang and Olufsen entertainment systems and a communal honesty bar, and incorporate the natural rock of the cliff face into their whitewashed walls.

Packing tips

Steep steps are everywhere in these parts, so heels will need stowable back-up – pack some handbaggable flats. Pashminas and hairspray will keep your precious tresses in place while speeding along the coast by boat.

Also

By far the best way to explore this famed stretch of coastline is by boat – perfect for spotting secluded little beaches nestled into he cliffs. There are plenty of taxi boats available – the hotel will be happy to arrange one for you.

Food & drink

Hotel restaurant

Un Piano nel Cielo (‘a floor in the sky’) is just that – a top-floor terrace with yet more amazing views of the Amalfi coast. The indoor area is fitted with wide round windows, so you can still admire the vista.

Dress code

White summer wraps to blend in – or vibrant-toned sarongs to stand out. Gigantic sunglasses are de rigueur.

Top table

Ask for a spot on the edge of the terrace overlooking the ocean – dining doesn’t get more dramatic.

Last orders

The kitchen closes at 22h30, but the bar stays open until 1h.

Room service

24 hours.

Hotel bar

The small Moroccan-influenced bar has a terrace on the cliff-edge scattered with teak tables and umbrellas – there can be few more romantic spots on the Amalfi coast for enjoying a sundowner. The staff certainly know their way around a mojito.
