NileGuide Expert Says:
Set in a Franciscan monastery, this hotel is the top pick in Amalfi for architectural ambiance. Relax in the peaceful cloister or enjoy the salt water pool and private sea access set below a 16th century watchtower.
Description:
Transformed into a hotel in 1822, the Hotel Luna Convento occupies Amalfi's watchtower dating from 1564, and the ancient Franciscan monastery founded by Saint Francis in 1222, complete with its beautiful original cloister and church. Just 273m (896 ft.) from the town's center, on the promontory protecting Amalfi's harbor, this family-run place counts Henrik Ibsen (who wrote A Doll's House here in 1879) among its famous guests. The space remains as artistically inspiring as ever: The hotel is surrounded by a garden, with sun terraces and a large seawater swimming pool carved out of the cliff. There is also a private, rather rocky beach and a highly praised gourmet restaurant where you have to make reservations long in advance. The watchtower houses a disco and piano bar, as well as another restaurant with fantastic views. Guest rooms vary in size and decor, but all are bright and spacious, with sweeping vistas, commodious tiled bathrooms, and sometimes private terraces.
