Hotel Santa Caterina Amalfi
The Hotel Santa Caterina , a ‘ grand�style ’ five-star hotel , stands surrounded by flower�filled terraces and gardens on the coast about a ten minute walk from the centre of Amalfi , in the direction of Positano . Perched on the cliff , the Santa Caterina was built in the early nineteenth century and was a favourite haunt of leading cultural and political figures at the time . As well as enjoying breathtaking views out to sea and of the Amalfi coast , the guests of the Santa Caterina have the benefits of the luxuriant vegetation of the palm trees , umbrella pines , lemon trees and bougainvillaea that adorn the terraces beneath the hotel . Pot plants , paintings , hand�made tiles and antique furniture give the public areas and the bedrooms a homely feel . You can dine under the white vaulted ceiling of the restaurant or al fresco under the fragrances of the pergola of lemon . The menus are very good value ( from about 50 Euros per person ) and the cuisine is based on fresh , local produce with lots of fish and seafood . ( Please note that the restaurant is closed in December , January , and February ). In the distance is the sparkling of the sea and the coastline of the Bay of Salerno . The hotel has its own man�made beach and swimming pool
by the sea , reached by lift from the hotel ; here a wide variety of light meals and pizzas are served at lunch�time . Most bedrooms , which vary in size , have balcony or terrace and all have private bathroom decorated with specially designed tiles . It is probably well worth upgrading to the deluxe room with front sea view to make the most of the dramatic location of the hotel . We recommend the Santa Caterina highly for a relaxing stay and a friendly , cosy atmosphere .
