Clifftop monastic sanctum
Cascading clifftop gardens and vaulted stone corridors overlook the Gulf of Salerno, where monastic seclusion meets unhurried coastal quiet.

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
A renovated 17th-century monastery is the stuff glamorously reclusive holidays are made of — especially in a destination as popular as the Amalfi Coast.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set high above the fishing village of Conca dei Marini, the clifftop promontory sits away from coastal crowds, minutes from Amalfi.
The rooms
Converted nuns' cells feature vaulted ceilings, handpicked Italian antiques, and deep bathtubs overlooking panoramic sea views stretching toward Amalfi.
The infinity pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated infinity pool is carved into the rock face and cantilevered over the sea edge.
The spa and gym
Thermal baths sit beneath vaulted stone arches, and sea-facing garden pergolas host massages and open-air workouts.
Restaurant
Il Refettorio
The Michelin-starred restaurant serves Campanian seafood and garden herbs across vaulted stone dining rooms and an open-air terrace.
This 17-century Dominican convent-turned-hotel sits at the edge of a high cliff, and its stucco walls reflect the day’s colors: the pink dawn, the tawny afternoon, and the lavender dusk.
How it began
American owner Bianca Sharma spotted the abandoned seventeenth-century convent from a passing boat before undertaking a decade-long structural restoration.
