"The first hotel opening on the Amalfi Coast in over 10 years...and it was well worth the wait"
>
From the moment you arrive you just know that you’ve landed somewhere special
Built into the cliffs above the centuries old fishing village of Conca dei Marini, the hotel is suspended 90 meters above sea level and winds all the way down to a private beach
The hotel is a design lovers paradise, showcasing a a well-crafted mix of local artisanship alongside highly recognized Italian brands
There are 31 unique tile designs throughout the hotel, all handmade and hand painted
All the rooms are spacious and offer uninterrupted views of the ocean
The bathroom alone felt bigger than our New York apartment
If you splurge on a suite you’ll have your own private outdoor oasis, complete with an infinity plunge pool and day bed
As chef Crescenzo Scotti says, “Breakfast is an experience” and this is still somewhat of an understatement. You can start your day by dipping homemade pastries into a tap of melted dark chocolate...
...then make up for it at lunch with a plate of fresh, local ingredients
You're spoilt for choice with a pool and private beach
The terrace is the perfect spot to watch the sunset over the Tyrrhenian Sea
We arranged a private wine tasting before dinner with the master sommelier, Arturo
The only downside to staying at Borgo Santandrea is that at some point, you have to leave
Highs & Lows
-
From the moment our booking was confirmed the concierge team went above and beyond to help us plan a stress-free, memorable vacation. They took care of all the practicalities (car transfers, taxis, restaurant bookings) and provided us with fantastic local recommendations.
-
It's the staff that really make the experience so special here. They have the unique ability to provide an outstanding level of service, while remaining warm and personable.
-
A private beach at the hotel is a very unique offering for the Amalfi Coast. Between this, the oceanfront swimming pool, Beach Club and multiple bars and restaurants, there's really no need to leave.
-
The culinary 'surprises' that seemed to become more frequent every day were a real treat. Freshy squeezed lemonade, homemade pastries, a warm dessert delivered to your room before sun down and an aperitivo hour that rivals most meals, were just some of the highlights.
-
Views, views, views. Breathtaking from every vantage point. Every bedroom overlooks the ocean and most come with a terrace.
-
As guests you have access to the hotel's private boat transfer to and from Amalfi.
-
While we enjoyed the Acqua di Parma toiletries we’d love to see them in larger format sustainable packaging, so that single use plastic could be completely eliminated from the rooms.

The small fishing village of Conca dei Marini is the perfect base on the Amalfi Coast if you're looking to escape the crowds. You'll have to arrange for car or boat transfers to reach the larger towns but there's something quite special about having your own tranquil haven on this busy stretch of coastline.
