MONASTERO SANTA ROSA HOTEL &SPA ^{* * * * *}

I came here for the spa experience with my wife. I cannot speak to the rooms as we didn’t stay here but the hotel is perfection. This is the most amazing spa experience I’ve ever had because it’s a 17th century monastery and it’s absolutely incredible inside and out. It’s a must do if you’re visiting the Amalfi coast. Wish I had stayed here too - that infinity pool is immaculate.

The spa was relaxing and we both had back-to-back 80 min relaxing massages. While the other was getting a massage, we used the thermal spa activities (highly recommend!). This included a steam room, sauna, shower (tropical, mist and rain options), foot soak with jets, warm jet tub, and lemon water and tea. Not only that, it was all to myself the entire time. Deep sigh…. I’m so relaxed now. And the staff and massage were impeccable.

Hotel de 5 estrellas en Amalfi fue absolutamente espectacular. Desde el momento en que llegamos, nos recibieron con una atención excepcional. Las vistas al mar desde la piscina y la terraza son simplemente impresionantes, y los jardines del hotel son un verdadero paraíso.
Disponen de gym y spa de calidad.
La habitación en la que nos alojamos era muy bonita, con una decoración elegante y comodidades de primera clase. El personal del hotel se desvivió por hacernos sentir como en casa y cumplir todos nuestros deseos. Sin duda, este es el lugar perfecto para disfrutar de unas vacaciones de lujo en la hermosa Amalfi.

¡Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar!

Pd: dispones de parada de bus (tiquet sobre los 2 euros) en la puerta del hotel, los taxis pueden pedirse desde el hotel, pero el precio es alto, sobre 180-20] euros por trayecto donde quieras.

No details about rooms, though the monastery has a location that seems views are panoramic. One can't discuss a restaurant experience without context. We had no concept of how to get here and didn't have a car. We got a taxi price from positano of 120 euros and I said that was ridiculous and that we'd take the bus.

We got the local Positano-Praiano bus, after missing the Sita bus, only to learn it wouldn't get us to Conca. We waited for the next Sita bus in Praiano, as the minutes ticked past our 20:15 reservation time. We got the Sita bus and got off at Hotel Belvedere around 20:30. Oh, by the way, it was me, my two kids and my wife, who had ankle strain.

We finally understood why we were asked whether we were going up or down by all the drivers. We proceeded to walk up around 600 steep stairs, winding around in narrow passages in the dark to the Monastery. It was humid. By the time we arrived (1.1km, which took us 45 min), my wife was in tears, we were all drenched in sweat and I felt awful. She had no desire to eat. How's that for context?

The food was, nevertheless excellent, with each course bringing us out of the shell a bit more. Wine list was extensive, if leaning in a more expensive direction. It was dark by the time we ate, so we didn't really get to experience the views. Nevertheless, this was the only Michelin starred meal on this trip that lived up to the hype, even with the lengthy preface. I gave location 4 stars because of the walk. We ended up taking a taxi back to Positano (130 euro) bc we couldn't imagine making our outward journey in reverse at nearly 23:30... Staff were lovely.

Se il paradiso esiste è in questo hotel
