Casa Angelina

Praiano - Salerno - Amalfi, Capri & Sorrento

Seaside

Number of rooms: 40

The stunning Casa Angelina is a rare find on the Amalfi coast; a hotel that privileges design and blends it subtly with nature’s own display through using vast windows that allow the wonderful views of sea, mountains and pure azure sky to pour in. The Casa Angelina is simply a little gem, a very special hideaway in a part of the world that already leaves you breathless for its beauty.

One of the most luxurious of Amalfi coast hotels, it balances calm with a great location; on the edge of the village of Praiano, approximately 2.5 miles (4 km) from Amalfi itself, the hotel offers a roof terrace that opens to the sky providing an unbeatable location for an evening aperativo and a top class dinner. Italian newspapers have been raving about the quality of the cuisine here as well as praising the clean white lines of the interior décor. The hotel is surrounded by terraces of lemon trees as well as their own vegetable and fruit garden ensuring the freshest of ingredients for some wonderful Mediterranean cuisine.

Many of the rooms have private terraces that look straight onto the sea in front and the isle of Capri across the gulf to the right. The bedrooms have all mod-cons as you would expect and a predominance of white to set off that wonderful blue of the sea. Murano glass from some of Italy’s best young designers and fresh roses add a touch of class but the real beauty of these rooms is how much light they let in. You are suspended above the ocean and there’s no better decoration than that.

A choice of three swimming pools (one indoor and two on the terraces outside) could encourage you to while away some time based around the hotel though the beach down below is easily reached via the private elevator and a set of stairs. The hotel has their own boats which can take you on private trips along the coastline to visit other villages or towns or take you as far as Capri for a slightly more exclusive introduction to the island. Ravello, Positano and Amalfi are all within easy reach either by car (note that unusually for an Amalfi coast hotel, Casa Angelina has plenty of parking space) or by boat and the choice really depends on you depending on how lazy or active you want to be.

In short then, the Casa Angelina is an excellent choice if you are looking for something a little bit different on the Amalfi Coast with great details, excellent cuisine and out of this world views all set in an ambience where design and comfort take pride of place.

ll	Activities

The location of Casa Angelina means you are in a great position to make the most of the Amalfi Coast with Pompei an 1¼ hours away, Positano 10 minutes and Amalfi 25 minutes. The hotel has their own private boat but the jet boats which connect most of the main Amalfi Coast towns with Naples and Capri as well as Salerno also run from Positano meaning you have no excuse whatsoever not to go exploring a little. The mountains behind Praiano and Positano are known as the Monti Lattari and apart from hiding little gems such as Ravello are also home to smaller hamlets and villages that are much less sophisticated but rightly famous for their traditional ways. There are great hiking opportunities here, though if you prefer water sports, these too are easily arranged.

ll	Tips & Getting There

The closest airport is Capodichino, approximately 50 miles (75km) away which is well-served by all of the major carriers as well as low cost carriers such as Easyjet from destinations all over Europe.

If driving, whether from Rome or from Naples Capodichino airport, take the A3/E45 motorway south, towards Salerno for 18km at which point take the exit at Castellamare di Stabia in the direction of Sorrento. This road, the SS145, continues for 21km until Sorrento. Sorrento is one long strip of a town and just follow the main road until you see a turning for Positano on the left hand side. Praiano is a further 19km from this point, essentially on the same road all the way, if in doubt just follow signs for Positano and Amalfi (Praiano is between the two). A wonderful road, this is the Amalfi Drive proper which you will either love or hate but bear in mind that Sunday afternoon and before dinner in the summer it can become very, very busy as people head out for dinner.
