Sleek, modern hotel sheltered on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Tatler seems to like the contrast between the white space inside and the "petro-blue of the sea and the view across to Positano and Capri." The Bazaar team stayed at Casa Angelina when they wrote about hotspots on the Amalfi Coast.

"Best for privacy seekers" says Harper's Bazaar about Casa Privata, a restored former fisherman's lodge on the same dramatic coastline as Positano. "A perfect lotus-- and palm-filled retreat with only six double rooms, it is for those who hanker after more intimate [chill] experience. With saltwater pool, honesty bar and working kitchen, [Ca' P] is an idyllic guesthouse." [Harper's Bazaar, The Top 10 Italian Retreats, April 2009] Good value, rooms from 190 Euro low season.

The perfect-size hotel, comments Tyler Brûlé about San Pietro in the FT. ".. With so few rooms (just 60), staff remember your name and regular requests and a hotel can have a personality that doesn’t have to follow the economy-of-scale repetition needed to make bigger properties work. The family-run property hits all the right notes and never attempts to be anything other than a fine, Italian hotel." [FT] Get other tips for Positano in the attached FT article.

Located between Ravello and Positano, Atrani is a cute little town, "a secret gem," with sort of a vintage 1950s feel. For outdoor dining, Departures recommends this restaurant. "The very authentic A'Paranzi in Atrani serves simply cooked seafood that is always fresh off the boat."

+ DAILYCANDY, TOWN AND COUNTRY
Considered to be one of the best destination tables south of Rome. Simple, well-executed food emphasizing an "inspired" twist to traditional classics. All the fruit, vegetables, and herbs come from the family's farm, Le Peracciole, including Nocellara, Moraiolo, and Frantoio olives, which they handpick and cold-press the same day for the exquisite fruity, spicy oils integral to Iaccarino's cuisine. Town & Country wrote a multi-page article about the restaurant and the famous owner Alfonso Iaccarino. Closed during the winter months.
