Romantic Luxury Hotels on the Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast has long been a favorite among affluent travelers looking to enjoy the Mediterranean at its relaxed and scenic best.
Situated just south of Italy, on the ankle rim of Italy's boot, the coastline features some of the very best luxury hotels Italy has to offer; combine these with the surroundings, and you have just about the perfect setting for a romantic break for two.
Here, then, is a quick lowdown on some of the best, most romantic Amalfi Coast hotels available...
Eden Roc Suites Hotel, Positano Small, friendly, and family run, the Eden Rock Suites in sleepy Positano is rightly known as a honeymooner's dream.
The hotel freely admits it doesn't offer a barrage of facilities, but what it does offer, it does splendidly: 24 invitingly baroque suites; homemade cuisine served in a cozy restaurant; a terrace that looks directly out over the sea below.
Palazzo Sasso, Ravello This ultra-swish, antique-packed hotel is a famed hideout for Hollywood's A-Listers - and you can see why too.
Everything here is breathtakingly impressive, from the location (it's perched on top of a hill overlooking the ocean) to the restaurant (it's Michelin starred.
Of course).
The Palazzo Sasso is one of those luxury hotels Italy offers that's simply fit for royalty.
Le Sirenuse, Positano Le Sirenuse has two claims to fame in ever-chic Positano: It's probably the town's most stylish luxury hotel; and its probably the most expensive one, too.
Nights here set you back a cool £800, but then, you get what you pay for: Outdoor terrace lounges perched over the sea; a Michelin starred restaurant; rooms decorated with gorgeous antiques; and candles or bouquets of flowers adorning just about every surface you see.
Parco dei Principe, Sorrento This clean-lined boutique hotel is as perfectly located as it is wonderfully decorated.
Gio Ponti designed the hotel back in the 60's, and it remains more than just reminiscent of his mod-cool sensibilities.
Unsurprisingly, the hotel's location is just as good now as it was then also: intricate stairs (or an elevator) lead down a cliff face from the hotel to the sea, where you'll find a purpose-built sunbathing area, a pizzeria, and, of course, crystal-clear Mediterranean waters to swim in.
