PB hotel design editorial

Carved into a near-vertical stretch of cliffside between Conca dei Marini and Furore, a seventeenth-century Dominican convent has been transformed into one of the Amalfi Coast's most considered small hotels. Monastero Santa Rosa Hotel & Spa opened in 2012 after an eight-year restoration overseen by American owner Bianca Sharma, who acquired the derelict property in 2000 and worked with local craftsmen to bring it back without erasing the weight of its monastic origins. The building's original lime-washed stucco facades, arched doorways, and vaulted ceilings were preserved throughout, and the interiors carry the quiet authority of spaces that have held centuries of silence. Just twenty-two rooms and suites are distributed across the ancient structure, each finished with locally sourced travertine floors, dark-stained timber shutters, and upholstered headboards in muted damasks of sage and cream — details visible in the images that keep the atmosphere closer to a private residence than a resort conversion. Outside, the terraced gardens step dramatically down the cliff toward the sea, planted with lavender, rosemary, lemon trees, and seasonal flowering beds in deep crimson, all framed by dry-stone retaining walls built in the traditional Campanian manner. The infinity pool, set on its own terrace with the Tyrrhenian dropping away beyond the edge, aligns so precisely with the horizon that the boundary between water and sea becomes genuinely ambiguous. The cliffside restaurant terrace, built from rough-hewn timber posts and terracotta tile, extends this same vernacular logic outward over the void.

About

Striking the perfect balance of seclusion without solitude, Monastero Santa Rosa allows guests to determine the tone of their stay, whether they're looking to disappear for an intimate getaway or gather with the group and make new acquaintances. It's hard to imagine that the generous grounds, filled with four levels of gardens, lush landscaping, plentiful lounge chairs, and canopied daybeds, serve just 20 rooms and suites. Where most boutique properties might only offer in-room massages, Monastero Santa Rosa hosts a fully equipped spa to rival any major city spa, offering not just treatment rooms, but large-scale amenities that include a sauna, steam, mosaic-tiled experience shower, hydro pool, and tepidarium. Guests are welcome to feel a part of the scene at the library and bar. Engage in a game of chess or cards or read while sipping a martini in the modern cocktail area. Relax down by the pool or discover the resort's secret gardens, quiet sun decks, and indoor relaxation areas. Get the best of both worlds by making your stay as energizing or relaxed as you wish, by selecting different spaces to suit your mood at any time.

"high end luxury luxury and quiet on the Amalfi Coast. We loved our time at the hotel and highly recommend for a peaceful trip. The staff was attentive and made sure we had all we needed to rest and relax after a hectic two week tour of Italy, The outdoor gym is amazing and the breakfast is top notch!"

"A former monastery turned into an intimate luxury retreat. The cliff-edge gardens and infinity pool are breathtaking. Rooms are silent, spotless, and filled with natural light. The staff strike that perfect balance between warmth and discretion. Dinner on the terrace as the sun sets over the sea"

"As we left our breakfast table after 9 fabulous nights at the Monastero, a delightful honeymooning couple on the next table asked us if we had ever stayed at another hotel as nice. We had asked ourselves the same question the previous evening and reminisced about a variety of hotels that we loved across several continents. However, we concluded that the Monastero Santa Rosa was very special in every way and had exceeded our expectations in its history, beauty, amazing location, and quality in all areas. Kudos to Ferdinando and every member of the team for their passion and generosity making for a truly memorable guest experience. You are the best of the best."

"This was our second visit within a twelve month period . Our first visit was for seven nights in a Deluxe Sea View Room. Everything about this trip was complete perfection in every aspect, hence the second trip. Only this time we learnt from our mistake….. we came for 9 nights not 7 ! We also upgraded to the Deluxe Suite (Salvia) which ticked all our boxes. Our only worry this time was whether perfection could be repeated a second time ? My goodness - what an absolute waste of worry that was. Not only did it deliver, it totally exceeded all our expectations once again. Truly sublime and utterly Magical, thank you to every single member of the SR team you all went above and beyond to make our second stay even better. Ferdinando the GM is truly lovely and really has Santa Rosa in his heart - it’s not actually just a team it’s a family Thank you to EVERYONE Antony & Helen"

"We were very much looking forward to our stay here, especially after reading the reviews here. We just spent five days there. On the positive side, the staff is really lovely and goes out of their way to be friendly and helpful. The outdoor areas are truly lovely. Our agent kept us busy but gave us one day off and we spent time at the pool - it was wonderful and beautiful. There are two negatives. It is a converted monastery. The room was very small and certainly not a place we looked forward to returning to. But the worst part of the experience was our dinner there. My fish dish was bland and uninteresting and my wife's pasta dish was inedible. We did appreciate the shuttle which was readily available to us. But I doubt we would return."
