Casa Angelina

Style and serenity at chic white-on-white boutique hotel.

39 rooms and 5 suites.

Special features
All-white bedrooms are airy and uncluttered, with a cool and calming vibe. Most have a sea-facing terrace with loungers, table and chairs – perfect for cocktails and outdoor dining. Sea-facing rooms come with super kingsize beds, an iPod dock, DVD/CD player, l’Occitane body products and stunning views.

It's worth paying for a sea-facing room or (pockets permitting) one of the Junior suites, with their huge private terrace and 180 degree views of Positano and Capri. Top floor rooms offer the max in privacy and finest views.

Eat & Drink

Dining in
You’d be hard pushed to better the setting of Casa Angelina’s top floor terrace restaurant Un Piano del Cielo, with its amazing wide-open views of the coast. Start the night with a cliff-edge cocktail in Casa Angelina's Bar Marrakech before sitting down to delicious Neapolotan cuisine. 

Traditional cuisine is given a gourmet makeover here, with dishes such as sea-bass fillets with stuffed endives, and the chef's own creation, Neapolitan Sushi. Light bites, burgers and Club sandwiches are served at the bar, and there's a 24 hour room service menu.

Breakfast
Breakfast is served until 11:00. Be tempted by an array of fresh fruit, freshly baked bread and Italian pastries.

Room service
Available 24 hours.

Activities

See & Do
Start by taking the glass-fronted lift (and a few flights of steps) down to the jetty-style beach, where you can watch locals leaping into the water from rocks and see the pretty little harbour, Marina di Praia. Book a coastal trip or a ride to Capri and its famous  blue grotto aboard one of the hotel’s sleek Sea Gem boats, or hop aboard the shuttle bus for an exhilarating ride to Positano.

Sorrento, Amalfi, ravishing Ravello along the coast are also within easy reach. Turn back the pages of history among the ruins of Roman Pompeii and Herculaneum, or climb Vesuvius, the volcano that destroyed them both. Sports fans can take up tennis, snorkelling and sailing, or of course just lounge by the pool...

Spa
Casa Angelina's holistic spa offers all manner of therapy treatments from massage and manicures to facials. There's also a heated pool, sauna, jacuzzi and state-of-the-art gym.
