Originally built in 1880 by Giuseppe Gambardella, Hotel Santa Caterina has long been a favourite on the gorgeous Amalfi Coast, with Elizabeth Taylor, Angelina Jolie and Kim Kardashian on the hotel’s list of notable guests. Etched into the coastline, the hotel enjoys sweeping views of Amalfi, all framed by citrus groves and lush gardens.
In terms of amenities, the hotel offers two restaurants overlooking the sea, the Michelin-starred, fine-dining Glicine Restaurant and the more relaxed Restaurant Al Mare. Guests can soak up the sun, lounge by the ocean and take a dip in the pool at Hotel Santa Caterina’s idyllic beach club. The ultimate suite for honeymooners, the Giulietta and Romeo Chalet provides breathtaking views of the ocean. Sprawling across two levels, the suite encapsulates a king-sized bedroom, ensuite, lounge and second bathroom, not to mention a private garden with a heated pool.
Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat in the mountains, a cozy lakeside town, or a historic setting, these places are perfect for spending a serene and crowd-free Christmas.
