Rooms & Suites
Enter a sanctuary evoking a lost time. The spiritual enchantment of the transformed monastery remains ever present in the luxuriously converted 20 rooms and suites, each named for an herb that the nuns would have used in making their medicines from the Monastero Santa Rosa garden. Vaulted ceilings and the primary structure of the nuns’ rooms and refectory have been preserved and linked together with ensuites to create sumptuous bedrooms, each with a spellbinding sea view stretching from the Conca dei Marini’s fishing harbor below to Amalfi beyond.
A local Neopolitan designer has collaborated with the owner to create an elegant ambiance graced by timeless Italian antiques. Every conceivable lavish amenity and comfort abound. But the focus remains the vistas. From this distinct vantage perch, the dazzling coast and Gulf of Salerno is revealed, framed through windows and balconies facing the sea. Each room still exudes the sense of tranquility where a nun once stayed—a totally private and intimate retreat bathed in the angelic sunlight of the Amalfi Coast.
The suites represent an authentic Italian residential experience. Each suite has been individually designed with furniture hand picked by the owner, Bianca, throughout her travels in Italy. One-of-a-kind antiques accent the suites while historical black and white photographs taken before the renovation don the walls evoking the spiritual past. The suites vary in size with each space completely unique—some with elegant living and dining rooms as well as terraces swathed in bougainvillea lingering over the Gulf of Salerno and the enchanting Conca dei Marini fishing village.
The Amalfi Coast
Writers, poets and artists have tried for centuries to capture the beguiling essence of la dolce vita along Costiera Amalfitana. A coastline so renowned for its divine allure that John Steinbeck rhapsodized in 1953, “a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there but becomes beckoningly real after you are gone.” The picture-perfect towns along Italy’s Amalfi Coast do belong solely to the angels in their otherworldly beauty. Visit Costiera Amalfitana and you too will succumb to its transcendental nature.
stands secluded along the famed Blue Highway near the quaint fishing village of Conca dei Marini. Centrally located, the hotel is just a 20-minute car or boat ride from the most scenic towns along this glamorous coastline—notably Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. Although the villages of the Amalfi Coast are a magnet for the wealthy with their luxury hotels and million-dollar yachts sprinkling the sea, what characterizes the region is its effortless Mediterranean simplicity—cobblestone streets, fresh seafood drizzled in olive oil, bougainvillea-covered villas, sweet citrus scents wafting from abundant lemon groves, and unrivaled views.
Spread your wings along the dramatic Blue Highway serpentining its way south of Sorrento. The Amalfi Drive, “the road with 1,001 turns,” is the most precipitous road in Europe with vertigo-inducing vistas plunging down jagged cliffs into the azure Tyrrhenian Sea. Levitate over heavenly Positano from the perch of the Madonna which reigns over the town’s tiered cascade of salmon, cream and vanilla houses tumbling like a waterfall into the Bay of Positano. Built vertically on the face of a mountain, Positano began as an isolated fishing village but became the favorite of the international jet set in the 1960s after the Kennedys came to stay.
The prime way to see Positano is on foot via its famous scalinatella. Wind your way up and down endless staircases around the Piazza dei Mulini stopping to shop for linens or custom made sandals, savoring an espresso along the way at the Marina Grande’s seaside cafes flanked by hundreds of bobbing colored boats. From any vantage point, gape in awe at the town’s stunning church, the Santa Maria Assunta.
Its green and gold majolica tiled Duomo is Positano’s most coveted landmark. For another perspective of the town, curve past the Covo dei Saraceni (where the ferries depart for Capri along the Via Postinesi D’America near Trasita Tower) to find Fornillo Beach. Fornillo Spiagga boasts a large pebbly beach situated between two ancient watch towers, ideal for contemplating all this beauty while enjoying grilled fish, authentic Neapolitan wood-fired pizza and a limoncello. At night join locals at disco and piano bar Music on the Rocks ingeniously carved into the cliffs at the end of the main spiagga.
Monastero Santa Rosa is Located approximately 175 miles southeast of Rome, the Amalfi Coast stretches for 15 miles along the Sorrentine Peninusla. Monastero Santa Rosa Hotel & Spa is located approximately 10 minutes from the town of Amalfi, 25 minutes from Positano, 15 minutes from Ravello, and 80 minutes from the Naples International Airport, the region’s most common point of entry.
