Casa Angelina, a rare hotel that makes a virtue of modern architecture and design even in these most traditional environs — and, in the process, establishes a tone of understated luxury
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set in quiet Praiano between Amalfi and Positano, a cliffside lift and stone stairs descend directly to luminous La Gavitella beach.
The rooms
Sunlight floods monochromatic white interiors, where sliding glass doors open onto private balconies facing the sea and Positano's coastline.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated outdoor pool sits on a teak deck shaded by lemon pergolas, looking out toward Capri.
The gym
Technogym equipment looks through picture windows onto coastal greenery, alongside morning yoga on the garden terrace.
Restaurant
Un Piano nel Cielo
The Michelin-starred rooftop serves Campanian dishes cooked with cliffside organic garden produce against wide sunset views over the gulf.
Unlike the grande dames of the Amalfi Coast, Angelina is sleek, modern, and a startling, almost Greek-style interloper to the cliffside above pretty Praiano.
At the table
Seascape Cocktail Bar serves light regional classics and signature limoncello drinks on a terrace suspended above the sea.
How it began
Founder Antonino Cappiello built the hotel as a tribute to his mother, Angelina, styling the property logo after her own signature.
“With its sleek, white-on-white design punctuated by the owner’s modern art collection, Casa Angelina offers an alternative to the more classic style…”
