Amalfi Coast Summer Escape To The Stunning Cliffside Casa Angelina
Dramatic Cliffside location offers stunning views of Positano and Capri
Nestled into the dramatic cliffs of Praiano, a charming under-the-radar seaside village, Casa Angelina is one of the Amalfi Coast's most iconic hotels. The minimalist, all-white property is a tranquil retreat away from the crowds of neighboring Positano, yet it is only 10 minutes away. With extraordinary views that Positano hotels do not offer, including the island of Capri with its famous Faraglioni rocks, the property is a seductive charmer that makes you feel instantly at home.
Upon arrival, you wind down the cliff on a narrow road surrounded by lemon and olive trees to an elegant entry where staff are lined up to greet you. Inside, you are immediately struck by the expanse of white walls acting like canvases inspired by local designer Marco de Luca, highlighting the owner's extensive art collection featuring Murano glass sculptures by Cuban artist Alfredo Sisabravo and oil paintings by Argentinian Patricia Valencia Carstens.
The property is perched on a rocky cliff overlooking Positano and Capri
Vermarine Suite is one of the premiere speciality suites available
Relaxing Room features 26 square meters of indoor and 10 square meters of outdoor space
Every public space faces the water, offering dramatic views, and with a rare secluded location, privacy and exclusivity are key. With only 37 rooms and suites, the staff far outnumbers the guests, and service is among the very best in Italy. The most in-demand specialty suite is the Vermarine Suite, designed by Paola Lenti. Located on the third floor, this expansive 452 sq. ft. suite features an open-plan layout with a sleeping area, living space, a walk-in closet, and a spacious bathroom with a freestanding tub. The large terrace is the ideal place for soaking up the dramatic sunsets.

Guests take the sleek all-glass elevator to the hotel's rooftop restaurant, Un Piano Nel Cielo, which has earned a Michelin star. Under the direction of Executive Chef Leopoldo Elefante, the cuisine is dedicated to Campania's rich culinary traditions, using locally sourced ingredients and produce from the hotel's gardens. Signature dishes include herb-crusted lamb, John Dory, and Red Mullet, or you can try the 7-course tasting menu featuring scallops, risotto, Balfegò Tuna, and Marinated Pigeon. The sommelier will pair the meals perfectly from the curated wine cellar featuring over 3,000 bottles.

Mornings are spent at the hotel's extensive breakfast buffet, served on the panoramic terrace, which offers freshly baked bread, homemade cakes, savory tarts, locally picked fruits, honey, jams, charcuterie, salmon, and salads. Hot made-to-order dishes include banana pancakes and omelets. For more casual daytime dining, the Seascape terrace, adjacent to the main pool, offers a more relaxed cuisine, including Caprese salads, burgers, and pasta. A separate pool menu offers specialty cocktails and bites served by a dedicated pool butler.
Watercolor experience on the rooftop and sunbathing poolside are the best ways to spend your late afternoons
The property features an intimate spa with Augustinus Bader products, as well as a state-of-the-art fitness center equipped with Technogym equipment and a lap pool. Guests have access to the well-equipped beach of La Gavitella, reached by descending a row of steps that open towards the sea. Activities include the newly offered Watercolor experience, where you can channel your inner talents and create a masterpiece on the rooftop with a local artist.
The most popular excursion is a boat outing with Casa Angelina's private boats exclusive to hotel guests. Charter the newest Gozzo-style boat, Lady Angelina, to explore the grottos and hidden bays along the Amalfi Coast or get dropped off for lunch at my favorite Conca del Sogno for the ultimate party atmosphere over lunch.
