What they say

Perched above the Amalfi Coast, Casa Dolce Casa offers the serenity of Ravello with views that seem to drift straight into the sea.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The Oscar Niemeyer Auditorium sits 150 meters uphill, and stone steps lead past the property toward the Annunziata church.
The rooms
Rooms are finished with colorful majolica tiling, and select options open onto private terraces fitted with sun loungers.
The spa
White loungers rest under chromotherapy lighting beside a Turkish bath and an aromatherapy shower.
At the table
Breakfast is served in a turquoise-tiled dining room or out on private balconies overlooking the sea.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
