Each room has a sea view and the added luxury of a sun-filled balcony to enjoy . The hotel has a fantastic restaurant with glass walls that offer panoramic views across the vast sea and colourful buildings of Amalfi . The food blends local and gourmet cuisine , served in a dining room with a formal feel , as men are required to wear long trousers in the evening . The outdoor American bar is more casual , with comfortable armchairs and a knowledgable cocktail waiter on-hand until late in the evening . Views from this outdoor bar are spectacular , particularly over the shining lights around Amalfi . In the daytime , the outdoor swimming pool and pool bar , built into the cliff-face , offer a unique place to relax in the sun . These outstanding facilities can be reached via lift or stairs .

Monastero Santa Rosa Conca dei Marini
Perched high on the cliffs , the Monastero Santa Rosa is a 5 star converted convent with spectacular views of the Amalfi coast and a focus on well-being and luxury . The former 17th Century home of Dominican nuns , the hotel retains a peaceful and tranquil ambience , and , at a distance of around 2 miles from Amalfi , enables guests to enjoy the close proximity to the centre in seclusion and peace . At night , the hotel can be seen from Amalfi with lights shining on its stone façade ; a beacon of the area ’ s history . The hotel was named after the flora found in the ancient herb garden , and the 20 rooms and suites retain similarly ancient features , such as vaulted ceilings and alcoves , but still have elements of understated luxury in the stylised dark woods and Jerusalem stone of the bathrooms . From the wrought iron king-size beds to the extensive terraces and private alfresco dining , the accommodation perfectly blends the hotel ’ s historical ambience with comfortable and indulgent features and stunning sea views . Previously known as one of the thirty nine castles of Italy , the magnificent Monastero Santa Rosa hosted the likes of Jackie Kennedy for dinners of fresh seafood and other local ingredients . Today , the hotel ’ s restaurant maintains the same ethos , combining local cuisine with elegant presentation . The large terrace is an ideal place to watch the sun set over the sea , whilst the garden ’ s warming wood burner and plush seating call for alfresco drinks beneath the stars . The heated infinity pool appears to blend sea and sky , and the addition of the local stone border makes it as much a water feature as a swimming pool . Walk through the canopied gardens of coloured flowers to get to the Spa , where guests will find the original wine cellar and such indulgent facilities as aromatic showers , herbal steam rooms , and treatment rooms . Guests are able to take the complimentary shuttle into Amalfi to explore the town , or the walking trail entitled the ' Path of the Gods ,' which climbs into the clouds , high above Amalfi .
