What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Rooms are compact, airy, and light-filled with checkered tile floors and a cheerful maritime-inspired palette of white, royal blue, pale pink, emerald green, and turquoise.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Perched along the coastal road just west of town, the hotel sits ten minutes on foot from Amalfi's bustling harbor.
The rooms
French doors open onto private balconies set with striped chairs, framing wide views across the Gulf of Salerno.
The saltwater pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Carved into the rock terrace, the heated saltwater pool looks out over the open Tyrrhenian Sea.
The gym
Technogym exercise bikes face floor-to-ceiling glass looking straight out across the terrace garden to the water.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Donna Emma
Cliffside terrace tables look toward Amalfi harbor, where dinner brings regional Campania tasting menus and Gragnano pasta.
Azur Lounge Bar
The pergola-shaded terrace bar serves sunset aperitivos alongside fresh Mazara red prawns and raw oysters.
At the table
Bartenders shake citrus-infused cocktails over the bold black-and-white checkerboard floor at Mario's Lounge Bar.
How it began
Founder Francesco Mansi carved the retreat into the cliff in 1956, naming it in tribute to his wife Emma.
