Overview

One of the most exclusive and luxurious hotels in this magnificent part of Italy, Monastero Santa Rosa was the creation of American Bianca Sharma, who first spotted the vast building from a boat. She spared no expense in transforming the 17th-century monastery into a stylish and inviting hotel, with full respect for the building’s origins. The meticulous restoration has produced a unique Amalfi boutique hotel steeped in history, furnished to the highest standard and set amid beautifully fragrant gardens. The 20 rooms, with sea views, and the spa, overlooking Santa Maria Novella, perch on the edge of a sheer cliff above the blue Bay of Salerno in the fishing village of Conca dei Marini. They are remarkably spacious and deeply romantic.

About Your Hotel

Location

The Amalfi Coast lies approximately 280 kilometres south-east of Rome and stretches for 15 miles along the Sorrentine Peninsula. The Monastero Santa Rosa Hotel & Spa is situated about 10 minutes from the town of Amalfi, 25 minutes from Positano and 15 minutes from Ravello. From its position on a steep promontory, just outside the tranquil village of Conca dei Marini and away from the day-trippers along the coast, the Santa Rosa enjoys a glorious setting with incredible views in every direction.

The Monastero Santa Rosa is secluded along the famous blue highway. Although the villages of the Amalfi Coast are a magnet for the rich and beautiful, with their luxury hotels and multi-million-dollar yachts, the region is defined by its effortless Mediterranean simplicity – cobblestone streets, fresh seafood dressed in olive oil, sweet citrus scents from lush lemon groves and unparalleled views.

Approximately 80 minutes from Naples Airport.

Wellness

The Spa

The Monastero Santa Rosa is home to a fully equipped spa that rivals any major city spa. It offers not only treatment rooms but also extensive amenities including a sauna, steam shower, mosaic-tiled experience shower, hydro pool and tepidarium. Every room in the spa preserves the original 17th-century vaulted ceilings and many of its rustic walls, reflecting the monastic heritage of this beautiful estate.

The most extraordinary treatment room – the Spa Suite – is a stunning 80 m² space with a vaulted ceiling and rasul. A steam room, double wet and dry treatment beds, manicure and pedicure stations, a relaxation lounge, private dressing & grooming rooms and a garden terrace are also part of the facilities.

Alternatively, you may enjoy a treatment outdoors, in the shade of a pergola, in the privacy of the Treatment Garden.

Ristorante il Refettorio

Chef Christoph Bob surpasses expectations with his outstanding interpretation of coastal cuisine, elevating the simple yet expressive local flavours of scampi carpaccio with kumquat marmalade or burrata and basil risotto with clams. The dining terrace, suspended high above the sea, is an exceptionally romantic setting for dinner, but equally a wonderful place to begin the day with a splendid breakfast served at your table (no buffets), featuring a freshly prepared omelette, bacon and mushrooms along with local fresh ricotta and homemade pastries.
