"Perched nearly 300 feet above a cliff on the Amalfi Coast, this 52-room retreat blends rustic fishing-village charm with contemporary touches. Its culinary program, led by chef Crescenzo Scotti, includes a Michelin-starred restaurant serving regional Campania flavors on a panoramic terrace, plus two bars and additional dining outlets; guests can also join Scotti’s hands-on cooking classes to learn traditional pasta, pizza, and pastry techniques." - Rachel Chang

"Perched dramatically on a cliffside about 90 meters above the sea, this intimate 45-room resort (including 16 suites) unfolds across sun-soaked garden terraces and offers sweeping cobalt-water views, elevators for convenience, and a private dock with a hotel boat to Amalfi. Conceived by two families from nearby Ischia, it aims to feel like a stylish seaside villa, with curated mid-century design pieces, thoughtful hospitality touches such as complimentary all-day lemonade and lemon pastries, and a relaxed, homey vibe. The property is food-forward: an elaborate open-kitchen breakfast features freshly baked pasticcini, seasonal fruit, cakes and Italian cheeses served on a sunlit terrace, while the dining program spotlights local ingredients—Amalfi lemons and fresh seafood—across casual beach-side offerings and a Michelin-starred restaurant on site." - Wendy Hu Plachy

"It takes a fine hotel to stand out on the Amalfi Coast, but this ultra-chic, ultra-luxe Sixties modernist structure rises to the task, thoroughly renovated under architect Rino Gambardella and filled with classic mid-century furniture from the owner’s private collection, reupholstered in Italian-made fabrics. Virtually everything else is new, from the tile floors to the landscaping, yet it all feels perfectly at home, as though it’s always been here." - The MICHELIN Guide
