Originally a 17th-century monastery, Monastero Santa Rosa Hotel & Spa has been respectfully restored to honor its roots while transforming the property into an exclusive boutique hotel and luxury spa. Located between Positano and Amalfi, Monastero Santa Rosa seems to float over the coastline, offering breathtaking panoramas from all accommodations.

The hotel offers 20 seafront guest rooms and suites as well as a restaurant with a well-known chef and four levels of beautiful gardens, including a special herb garden and a large infinity pool overlooking the Gulf of Salerno. The Spa defines an oasis of spirituality and tranquility unlike any other spa in the world. The experience is that of a Journey to discover one’s self, distinguished by the authentic character and atmosphere of the monastery combined with the amenities of a modern spa.

Guests can also explore one of the many hiking trails along the coast, use the complimentary shuttle to Amalfi for shopping or make a day excursion to Capri. At the end of the day, it is the serenity of Monastero Santa Rosa that truly makes it a getaway.

Almost Floating On Air…..

All the praise people have heaped on Monastero Santa Rosa is deserved. It’s truly an amazing place. A refuge from the bustle of nearby towns and just steps from traffic on a main artery yet in a hushed world of its own. Rather than repeat many of the same phrases...
