G'day, fellow travellers! It's Sam Bellamy again, your friendly neighbourhood Aussie, and today we're venturing to one of Italy's most iconic destinations, the Amalfi Coast. This place is as dreamy as it gets, with its crystal-clear waters, colourful villages clinging to cliffs, and a vibe that screams "La Dolce Vita!" But today, I won't just show you the postcard-perfect sights; I'll take you behind the scenes to the coast's boutique hotel paradise.
- Clifftop Elegance: Hotel Santa Caterina
First on our list is the Hotel Santa Caterina in Amalfi. Here’s a top tip for you: if you want to live the high life on the Amalfi Coast (literally), this is the place to be. Perched on a cliff with a spectacular view of the Tyrrhenian Sea, Hotel Santa Caterina is elegance personified.
Every room comes with a sea view, and you’ll wake up every day to the sound of waves gently crashing against the cliffs. Now that’s what I call a room with a view!

- Rustic Luxury: Monastero Santa Rosa
Last but not least, we’ll visit the Monastero Santa Rosa, a converted 17th-century monastery clinging to the cliffs of Conca dei Marini. If tranquillity had an address, it would be Monastero Santa Rosa.
Here, historic charm meets luxury comfort. The rooms are a blend of rustic and modern, with vaulted ceilings and minimalist decor.
But the showstopper has to be the infinity pool that seems to merge with the sea, offering stunning, uninterrupted views of the coastline.
