Santa Caterina Hotel

I have had the privilege to stay at some of the finest and most exquisite hotels around the world, but whenever asked which is my favorite I frequently reply that the Santa Caterina in Amalfi is, if not my top choice, one of my all time favorites. You know you have arrived at most special place once you set foot on the property. From it's enviable location perched high on the cliffs directly over the Mediterranean, everything about the hotel experience is world class. The rooms are amazingly appointed with unrivaled views overlooking the sea that simply cannot be beat. Service throughout the hotel caters to every whim with discretion and impeccable detail, from room service to the Amalfi-version of a continental breakfast. Of course the piece de resistance is the private beach area which sits stories below the hotel. The beach area allows one to swim in the Mediterranean or the salt water pool carved out of the rocks of the cliff side, to soak up the sun rays from dawn to dusk with drink and food service at your disposal the entire day. Frankly, once you check into the hotel there is very little reason to leave (unless you wish to take in the local sites), and check out time always comes with feeling of sadness that you are leaving paradise and heading back to reality.

Paradise on earth!! What else is there to say? Amazing customer service, dining options and views. Stunning room and swimming in the pool or ocean was a dream. Can't recommend enough!

Amazing property and more importantly, amazing people. We've had a great experience and would definitely repeat. The hotel restaurant by the pool is excellent as well. One of a kind property. Great location too.

This is a top hotel with the nicest and most helpful staff imaginable. Having been to hotels in about 90 countries this is undoubtedly the best. Rooms are in beautiful condition and the dining is fantastic. Two excellent restaurants plus poolside bar/light meals. They are always willing to do special things for you, such as a custom 10 course meal for my wife's 70th anniversary. For those who cannot stand the heat, the region can be hot or too hot in mid summer, but early autumn is a delight because the sea (private pool area / sea front) is still warm for swimming - though there is a small rain risk.

Wonderful stay at the Santa Caterina hotel. The staff is extremely professional but friendly at the same time. Food is amazing no matter where you eat (they have two restaurants. The rooms are very well decorated, comfortable and with an amazing view. I’ll stay here again!
