Time to Put Hotel Santa Caterina on your Wishlist

The perennial buzz surrounding the Amalfi Coast has lured travellers for countless years and despite it only stretching for 30 miles, the destination offers enough idyllic beauty and Italian luxury for a standalone trip. Travellers looking for Old World romance and la dolce vita find it in its winding seaside roads, charming coastal towns and in some of the best hotels in the world.

Perched on the edge of the Amalfi Coast, the exquisite 19th century family-owned Hotel Santa Caterina looks over the bay of Naples and is immersed in the delicate scents of the orange and lemon groves.

Hotel Santa Caterina will be expanding their offering to include two new villas later this year. Recently acquired by the Gambardella family, the “Villas della Marchesa” offer breathtaking view of the Mediterranean, immersed in the peaceful setting of the Amalfi lemon groves. The villas have been renovated enhancing the extraordinary beauty of the natural environment in which they are immersed, whilst still preserving the original structure of the buildings. More information to follow in the coming weeks.

Hotel Santa Caterina has partnered with a legendary London hotel, Claridge’s, to bring a taste of the Amalfi coast to Mayfair. The hotel chefs have collaborated on a Mediterranean menu which is available at the Claridge’s Bar Terrace until the end of September. Diners will be able to experience Hotel Santa Catarina’s delicious flavours, with dishes ranging from the hotel’s classic white truffle pizza to home-made spaghettini with lemon cream sauce and red prawns – all presented on beautiful Hotel Santa Catarina hand painted crockery.

The hotel’s flagship restaurant, Glicine, has been awarded a Michelin star two years in a row. At the helm is Chef Giuseppe Stanzione who joined Glicine in 2019 and aims to deliver a menu focused on local recipes and Mediterranean flavours as well as elegant and innovative dishes.

The hotel offers guests panoramic views of the iconic sweeping azure-blue Amalfi Coast as well as exclusive access to, via two private elevators carved into the rock of the coast, the private beach club where they can soak up the Mediterranean sun and swim in the heated pool. It is uniquely the only Leading Hotel close to Amalfi town that benefits from this direct sea access. For those wishing to take the scenic route down to the sea, a beautiful path takes guests through citrus groves and lush gardens to the sea-level facilities which also include a solarium, fitness centre, café / bar and outdoor restaurant.

The Amalfi Coast is famous for its lemons, which are some of the biggest in the world. The hotel’s love for lemons transpires through both its cuisine and also its wellness offering, with the ‘Amalfi Gold’ wellness treatment. The Mediterranean aromatherapy, uses essential oils from the local lemons, flowers and plants of the Amalfi to help relax, sooth and cleanse the body.
