Hotel Santa Caterina is one of the great hotels of the Amalfi Coast — a 5-star property carved into the cliffs above Amalfi where Belle Époque elegance meets the dramatic natural beauty of the coastline. The hotel's panoramic terraces, frescoed halls, and Mediterranean gardens draped in citrus and bougainvillea have hosted celebrations for generations, while a private elevator descends through the rock to a hidden seaside beach club with pool and direct sea access. The Michelin-starred Glicine restaurant serves modern interpretations of Amalfi cuisine, and suites with hand-painted majolica floors and marble bathrooms provide the kind of refined southern Italian luxury that is increasingly rare to find.
