One of the most beautiful coastlines in the world lies in southern Italy. It is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and there is no wonder why so many prominent people include the Amalfi Coast on their favorite list. The famous Italian 'La dolce vita' is hidden in every part of the Amalfi Coast and its well-known lemon trees, which often contribute to the unrivaled setting. Stunning sea views, jewel-like colors, and famous cliffs are just a part of this extraordinary Italian experience.

This legendary coastal gem wouldn’t preserve its uniqueness and glamour if it weren't for its residents, who are known for their superb hospitality. Many of Amalfi’s most glorious hotels and restaurants have been run by the same family for years. This doesn’t mean that the Amalfi Coast is not welcoming contemporary design; it accepts every style that has the power to highlight the beauty of uniqueness.

We’ve chosen two of the most astonishing representatives of 'La dolce vita' for all of you who are planning on visiting this superb part of Italy: Hotel Santa Caterina and Casa Angelina. Each of these hotels, with their unique approach to luxury hospitality, has enchanted us, and we believe that you will have the same experience as we did.

Hotel Santa Caterina is a landmark of this region. It opened in 1904 and since then has been run by the same family. It is a sophisticated place filled with a home-like atmosphere. Citrus groves and lush gardens combined with terraces and friendly staff will color your vacation with an azure atmosphere. Classic Italian interiors, quintessentially Mediterranean architecture, and the style of the villas of Amalfi: all of Hotel Santa Caterina's rooms are spacious and filled with light, with floors in antique hand-painted majolica, marble bathrooms with brass fixtures, and balconies with a view over the sea of Amalfi or the garden.

In the charming part of Praiano lies Casa Angelina, a stand-out place surrounded by classical homes. Don’t be fooled; every detail that makes the Amalfi Coast so special is part of Casa Angelina as well. Cascading terraces, spectacular views, and Italian ambiance, they are all here, dressed in a minimalistic interior. In contrast with the colorful surroundings, white is the main shade here. Their signature style is bold artwork and sun-kissed white decor. The place is ideal for lovers of contemporary style, Bang & Olufsen technology, L'Occitane toiletries, and delicate cuisine.
