this old convent hangs on the cliffside at the edge of the storied Amalfi Coast, you’d think some extremely twelfth-century property developers had planned this place
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Amalfi harbor and the cathedral square sit a ten-minute walk downhill along the coastal corniche.
The rooms
Former monastic quarters feature original terracotta tiles, vaulted ceilings, and limewashed walls opening to sea-facing windows or private terraces.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated freshwater infinity pool is carved into the cliffside, and outdoor cardio machines overlook the sea.
The spa
Eighth-floor treatment suites use local citrus botanicals, and couple rooms include private steam rooms and saunas.
Dogs stay too.
Dei Cappuccini Restaurant
Groined vaults arch over the former monks' refectory, where dinner focuses on Campanian recipes and convent-grown citrus.
Extensive renovations have transformed the 13th-century cliffside Capuchin convent into a chic haven, located a 15-minute walk away from Amalfi’s centre.
Dei Cappuccini Bar & Lounge
The fluted wood counter pours local amari and cocktails beneath high vaulted ceilings and a circular chandelier.
At the table
Cliffside terraces shaded by white umbrellas look out over the coastline for open-air dining above the water.
How it began
Founded as a Capuchin monastery in the 13th century, the retreat welcomed Grand Tour travelers before converting to a hotel in 1885.
