Monastero Santa Rosa is a convent completed in 1681 on the cliff at Conca dei Marini, between Amalfi and Positano, looking over the Gulf of Salerno. It became a hotel in the 1920s and reopened after restoration in 2012, and the property steps down through four levels of terraced gardens to an infinity pool built into the rock of Monte San Pancrazio. With only a few rooms and suites, no two suites alike, it feels like a private house. It suits couples who want seclusion and a historic building rather than a village base.

Editorial assessmentMonastero Santa Rosa shares Conca dei Marini with Borgo Santandrea but is historic where Borgo is mid-century modern, and it is smaller and more secluded than Hotel Santa Caterina in Amalfi or Il San Pietro near Positano. Choose it for a quiet convent on the cliff.

Best for

Couples seeking seclusion. Only a handful of rooms and suites share the cliff-edge convent.

Garden and pool days. Four levels of terraced gardens lead down to a pool cut into the rock.
