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.

Monastero Santa Rosa Hotel & Spa Reviews

606 reviews

"Hotel is very good and much more better and professional than overrated hotels such as il san pietro di positano. The views are amazing and it has very good terrace to hang out and spend time. The staff is also very quick and helpful and accommodates most of your requests. The only issue is that the pool becomes lukewarm after noon and it is not refreshing at all. And since there is only one pool and no beach access it is a bit of an issue to consider."

"After a disastrous start in Amalfi at a different hotel, Monastero Santa Rosa came to the rescue! Was able to salvage our honeymoon in Amalfi by getting a last minute 4-night stay here. Here’s the short and simple version. This hotel is very special. It is elegance and luxury without being pretentious. The property and ground have been beautifully designed and maintained. They have literally thought of everything. The rooms are a great size and everything from the beds, linens, towels and robes are impeccable. This place is a hidden gem, away from the noise and business of the main city center, but close enough that they run a private shuttle to take you to the city center and back. The pool area is incredible. A beautiful infinity pool that overlooks water and Amalfi. It is easy to get lost in this place’s nooks and crannies and walkways. The staff at the pool area always there to get you anything needed. The only thing that was not great was the Michelin star restaurant. It was overpriced for the experience. The food seemed to be more experimental than flavourful. So I would recommend saving money and not eat here. The breakfast service is incredible! The food is tasty and staff are busy making sure guests have everything they need. The food at the traditional restaurant is AMAZING! We truly enjoyed the meals there and will be thinking about some of these dishes at home. Don’t miss out on the Spa, thermal experience that is included! In addition to all the amenities and Spa, the thing that really sets this place apart are the staff. All of them have been so friendly and attentive to guest needs. They have done an impressive job in setting and maintaining service standards - and it can be seen in everyone. Thank you to Jacopo, and Gennaro - shuttle team, Maria - reception, Fabio and Andrea - bar/restaurant team, Mariana - who worked pool and restaurant, the tall young lady with dark hair who seemed to work all the restaurants, the entire pool staff who took care of us, entire spa team - and to all the many others that make this place special."

"This is a truly unique Hotel, unrivalled. We found the staff to be highly attentive, friendly, respectful and efficient. The Hotel is magnificent with breathtaking views from most locations. The Hotel is as clean as clean and everything is pre-thought of. So many little touches including little gifts most nights, make this wonderful escape so special. The food too was really tasty and plentiful. The courtessy shuttle to and from local restaurants and towns like Amalfy was very welcoming and the driver is such a lovely guy! The attention to detail is clear to see and it was a real pleasure to meet the remarkable staff who took time to ensure our expectations were surpassed. We enjoyed the history and traditions of this incredible hotel. I read about this resort some 12 years ago and have finnaly made the visit. Wow was it worth it - of course it was. Fantastic!"
