Monastero Santa Rosa Hotel & Spa

Only came for a meal, hence no room score.
Staff were wonderful - attentive but not hovering over you.
Food was incredible. I have a cows milk intolerance and expected to just have to make do with what the best menu options were for me, but wonderfully they had made special dishes for me! (There is an allergy/intolerance question when you book.)
It was our anniversary so they made it very special.
Would thoroughly recommend.

We came here for the spa, and we had the best experience of our lives. We had an hour in the thermal spa, which was an incredible facility, and we had it all to ourselves. We did the Nun’s Escape treatment in the spa suite, and we both agreed it was the best massage we’ve ever had. We were able to get a cocktail at their bar afterwards with incredible views, and they had a free shuttle for us to a from our hotel in Amalfi.

Wow wow wow! Seriously what an amazing experience. A top 2 hotel experience of my life. Incredible staff, great food, great cocktails. Overall 10/10 experience.
-The staff is absolutely incredible, not one negative thing to say about that.
-The daily free breakfast is great, and I highly recommend taking advantage of.
-The gym has a beautiful view of the garden, cliffside and ocean. Relatively small but has more than enough for an adequate workout. Only enough space for 4-6 people max, but with only 15-20 rooms on the property we never had more than 4 people at the gym during our stay.
-The free shuttle up and down to Amalfi city was clutch! Pro tip** call them before arrival, if you're coming into Amalfi via boat from Salerno let them know and they will provide free pick up.
-The property itself is absolutely stunning, and the fresh gardens that the restaurants and bars use make for incredibly fresh food/drinks. In fact, if you order a mojito you may see them walk over to a mint plant, fresh pick your mint leaves for your drink!
-The spa was awesome in every way.
-I preferred the regular dinner restaurant over the Michelin star restaurant (but these are usually not my thing anyway)

Nestled atop a hill overlooking the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, this hotel is a true gem. Once a centuries-old convent, its striking remodel has transformed it into a haven of luxury and serenity.

The panoramic views of the coast from the hotel's vantage point are simply mesmerizing, enhanced further by the addition of beautifully manicured gardens and a rare infinity pool—a true rarity in Amalfi.

Preserving the authenticity of the original building, the hotel exudes a sense of history and charm that is both palpable and enchanting.

Our room exceeded all expectations, boasting spacious interiors, sumptuous beds, and luxurious bathrooms.

The staff's attention to detail is commendable, with thoughtful gestures such as surprise cakes or sweets adding an extra layer of warmth and hospitality to our stay.

Convenience is key here, with seamless transfers to Amalfi town and beyond, courtesy of the helpful and accommodating drivers.

One highlight of our stay was the spectacular boat tour organized by the hotel—a truly unforgettable experience that perfectly encapsulated the magic of the Amalfi Coast.

In summary, our time at this hotel was nothing short of magical, leaving us with cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

I would give it more than 5 stars if we could. In honesty, this is one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The cuisine, the staff, the rooms, the views, the spa, the history, the local culture—it is all an incredible experience, and well worth the effort to get here and the price.

Amazing location at the cliff side
Monastery feel was awesome
Check out the sun terrace, best view on the whole property

My partner decided to surprise me with a spa treatment for a few hours on my birthday. We had the Togetherness treatment. We didn't stay at the hotel we only use the spa.
The treatment was great and we felt super relax after our treatment.
The views from this place is incredible. The staff was very nice, explained everything that was going to happen throughout the treatment.

My only complaint is that my masseuse had a bad chest cold and I was not made aware of this until the treatment was almost over. She was considerate enough when she had to cough, I heard her move away, couch ( which sounded horrible), wash her hands then continue with the treatment.
I would like to be notified about this to either have another masseuse or the option for her to wear a mask since she is very close to my face during the treatment.

I came here for the spa experience with my wife. I cannot speak to the rooms as we didn’t stay here but the hotel is perfection. This is the most amazing spa experience I’ve ever had because it’s a 17th century monastery and it’s absolutely incredible inside and out. It’s a must do if you’re visiting the Amalfi coast. Wish I had stayed here too - that infinity pool is immaculate.

The spa was relaxing and we both had back-to-back 80 min relaxing massages. While the other was getting a massage, we used the thermal spa activities (highly recommend!). This included a steam room, sauna, shower (tropical, mist and rain options), foot soak with jets, warm jet tub, and lemon water and tea. Not only that, it was all to myself the entire time. Deep sigh…. I’m so relaxed now. And the staff and massage were impeccable.

You know a place is special when every local you encounter wants to discuss the beauty and serenity of the hotel. Upon arrival, my wife and I enjoyed one of the best meals we’ve had in all of Italy while waiting for our room. Although only 20 rooms exist, the property seems to span endlessly, with new areas to discover each day. We enjoyed staying in a terraced room, with a view for miles to sip coffee or an aperitivo. The rooms are quite modern, despite staying close to the original concepts of the convent. The location of the hotel provides a quiet atmosphere, but there are plenty of great shops and restaurants to explore by foot. The complimentary shuttle to Amalfi is one of the most underrated benefits, as traveling along the coast is not easy by car. When we did need additional transportation, the concierge team went above and beyond to help. Thank you for an amazing stay!

All of the other reviews are 100% correct in that Monastero SR is a piece of paradise amongst the busy and hectic Amalfi coast. 5 stars in every way. The food, service, pool, spa, and the grounds were spectacular. Beautiful outdoor gym. Amazing cocktails and bar area. The complimentary services at the spa were wonderful. Service was incredible. If you’re looking for luxury, avoid Positano and stay here
