Monastero Santa Rosa Hotel & Spa

The best hotel that I have ever stayed in in my entire life. The grounds and pool are undescribable. The guest suites are amazing. All the employees can't do enough for you. Breakfast is terrific and the Michelin Star restaurant well needless to say YOU HAVE TO TRY IT FOR YOURSELF

I've been following Monastero on instagram for 5 years and we just got back from a beautiful stay. When I realized the fact that they invented the sfogliatella pastry, (mu husbands favorite), I knew we had to go. The property and grounds are beautiful, impeccably kept. The infinity pool is worth the price of admission. Room was comfortable with twice daily housekeeping. The staff, whether at the reception, bar, pool, or restaurants were gracious and helpful. They took care of our every need without issue. With only 20 rooms, its quiet and peaceful. From the beginning to the end, a great experience. Its one of those places that you want everyone to know you went to, but don't want to tell anyone for fear it will become too popular and lose its charm. You wont be disappointed.

Point blank this is the finest hotel my wife and I have ever stayed at. We had just spent a week touring Venice, Florence and Rome which both exciting but exhausting. Upon arriving the monastero we were literally in awe of the views from every window as we toured the property. Our room, Rosemarinus, was even more breathtaking. Every possible detail that a hotel could consider was done in this room. Incredible views. luxurious bathroom, twice a day room cleaning and the most comfortable beds imaginable. We were so entralled by this property that we canceled plans on day two of our six days here because we didn't want to leave. The pool could possibly be the best in the entire amalfi coast and with only 20 rooms in the hotel you always felt a sense of deep peace and relaxation. The food likewise was impeccable and some of the best we had on the coast. There is a michelin starred restaurant but also a more casual option which we ate at for dinner two nights. The spa likewise was incredible with every imaginable offering and a beautiful layout. Not to be missed during your stay. Try the Nun's Escape which is a two hour massage, facial, hot stone experience. Life changing. The thing that truly sets this place apart is the service however. The thoughtfulness. The anticipation of needs. The lack of pretense and fussiness about it. Anything we asked for was taken care of without explanation and immediately. As an example whenever we ordered something to the room or needed help it was there in minutes. The concierge also helped us to set up every aspect of the week before we even arrived and made suggestions on everything we did based on needs and price. Boat tours, beach clubs, restaurant reservations. Free car service to amalfi. The last night of the trip we were eating in the restaurant and the Head Manager was asking us about our stay. My wife mentioned in passing that she had fallen in love with a set of dishes they used during breakfast service and the next morning at check out there was a bag with some of the dishes as a parting gift. This place is not cheap but if you want to treat yourself to an immersive, deeply peaceful. one of a kind experience that you will never forget then this place is an absolute must.

Best hotel I have ever stayed at and I’ve travelled. Attention to detail, relaxed excellence, superb food and nothing too much of a problem. This is a small hotel so very intimate and the staff get to know you quickly which allows them to be proactive. The food is also exceptional. Breakfast is a la carte, all usual offerings hot and cold but at a higher standard and freshly prepared. This is supported by a seasonal breakfast menu of absolutely stunning dishes which I joyfully worked my way through. If you like, they have a Michelin star restaurant to support their standard dinner restaurant. The starred restaurant il Refetorrio was easily the best food we had of the week and we ate out at other places too such as “Glicine”. The little extras also make it feel like it’s all about you and not about money. Bubbles on arrival, cakes, complimentary mini bar, suncream if needed, bottled water and the shuttle which will drop/collect you anywhere local are all added value and at your service. The rooms, the views the Spa all made for an unforgettable experience.

Just perfect! If you are looking for a special place with a soul, caring staff, beautiful gardens and views… this is it. We loved it .. an exquisite setting with exemplary service and care…. We will definitely be back. Thank you! Ps fabulous pottery shop (Piccadilly) is five mins down the hill

This is my first time ever writing a review, but our experience here prompted me to take the time to do so. My family and I just stayed 3 nights in amalfi last week. Friends told us about spa. It was full but the girl at the Spa desk gave us chance to be there! Such a dream!Perfect location, amazing staff. The best massage ever! Rosalie and the other lady at the spa desk went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time . We were celebrating my sister 60th - The spa staff they truly try to make your experience very personal and very memorable. Also, the views from the gardens are amazing. In the evening, sitting at the bar is priceless. I can't wait to go back again!

A truly magical experience, from the moment we got there we knew how special this was going to be. Each and every member of staff are a real credit to this hotel, every one of them are friendly, helpful & so attentive to your every need. Nothing is too much trouble. This hotel is incredible, there is so much i want to say, the service you receive is exceptional, the quality of food & drinks are some of the best we have ever had, the gardens are so stunning and the smells you get as you walk past are beautiful & the views are breathtaking. We used the Spa and the Free shuttle service, and yet again these were both amazing experiences, the ladies in the spa made us feel completely relaxed and the driver was so informative of the local area and really friendly. The turn down service was the best we have ever had, the attention to detail is amazing and we absolutely loved all of our little gifts that we were left each night. Read up about “sfogliatella”, you get some of these delights when you first arrive, the history of them is amazing. Would like to say thank you to each and everyone of the staff, (reception, bar, restaurant, pool, cleaners, gardeners, spa, drivers, This was a special holiday for us as we were celebrating our milestone birthdays and our wedding anniversary, this is the finest luxury hotel we have ever stayed, and if you are looking for a place to escape the outside world…… then you have found it!

All the praise people have heaped on Monastero Santa Rosa is deserved. It’s truly an amazing place. A refuge from the bustle of nearby towns and just steps from traffic on a main artery yet in a hushed world of its own. Rather than repeat many of the same phrases and thoughts found in other reviews, 2 words come to mind: Gracious and Intuitive. During our brief 3 night stay between a week in Cinque Terre and a week on Sicily, my wife and I felt saved as an injured person might upon entering a hospital. Serenity abounds. In a most understated manner, the staff - Reception, Housekeeping, Restaurant and Pool - could not be more helpful and, yes…more gracious. Needs and wishes were anticipated. It all reflects well on the training and selection of personnel. The only minor skirmish occurred at the end of our scheduled spa treatments, but that was quickly resolved. The spa, as almost everyone mentions, is a sight to behold and experience. Our only regret? The need to fulfill obligations in Sicily after just 3 nights.
