Perched dramatically on the entrance to a former Maritime Republic, this 1956-born dream of Francesco Mansi has evolved into something utterly captivating. After his Mexican sojourn, Francesco returned to establish what his descendants have now transformed into a design hotel with serious personality. Mid-century magnificence reigns throughout the common areas, channeling those halcyon days of Italian design brilliance. The position is nothing short of extraordinary – hovering above the port, beach, and town, with that famous Cathedral and its colonnade commanding attention below. From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in a world where contemporary elegance meets Mediterranean charm, and every window frame captures that impossible blue of the Tyrrhenian.




The clever integration of sea-and-sky hues creates an effortlessly sophisticated backdrop throughout. Multiple sun-soaked terraces beckon for leisurely afternoons, none more alluring than the one hosting the infinity pool that seems to merge with the horizon beyond. Donna Emma La Cucina turns dining into an event, with alfresco tables overlooking the endless blue and a menu that celebrates coastal bounty with contemporary flair. The Azur Lounge elevates the experience further with Mediterranean fusion dishes paired with well-curated wines. When twilight descends, Mario's Lounge Bar becomes the spot for expertly crafted cocktails. But perhaps the property's crowning glory is the private beach club, accessed via a lift ingeniously carved into the rocky cliff face.
Every room enjoys front-row sea views, making morning coffee on your balcony a theatrical experience. Bright, airy spaces are dressed in a Mediterranean-inspired palette that echoes the blues and whites of the panorama outside. The furnishings strike that perfect balance between contemporary comfort and subtle nods to the hotel's mid-century heritage. From classic doubles to sprawling suites, all come equipped with modern amenities including complimentary Wi-Fi, televisions and well-stocked mini-bars. But it's the morning spectacle – waking to sunlight dancing across the water while boats drift lazily below – that truly makes these rooms extraordinary.
The Beach Club. This little slice of heaven nestled among rugged rocks and embraced by the Mediterranean coastline provides the perfect counterpoint to buzzing Amalfi town.
Don't miss a signature Amalfi lemon cocktail at Mario's Bar as the sun begins its descent. Position yourself on the terrace for maximum "pinch me" moments.
While its cliff-top location delivers those jaw-dropping vistas, be prepared for a bit of a climb if you're exploring on foot. Your calf muscles will either thank you or curse you by holiday's end.

A heady blend of cerulean waters & old-world glamour on the world’s most theatrical coastline.
