Picolo recommends · Hotel in Amalfi, Amalfi Coast, Italy
Anantara Convento di Amalfi
A former monastery on the cliff over Amalfi, where you can sit in the quiet cloister and still hear the harbour below.
Morning light falls across the cloister, and the only sound is the boats in the harbour far below. The Anantara Convento di Amalfi occupies an old monastery on the cliff, with gardens, a pool and wide views of the town and coast.
A lift takes you straight down into Amalfi, with the beach and the ferry pier close by. You get the centre of town and the calm of a retreat in the same stay.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Anantara Convento di Amalfi
This is our family choice: plenty of space, a pool and Amalfi right at the foot of the cliff. Couples who want to stay central without the noise will like it too.
It is a large, polished hotel run by an international group, so do not expect the intimacy of a small family house. Those looking for a cosy, characterful bolthole may prefer something smaller.
