Perched high atop a cliff on Italy’s Amalfi
Coast, Monastero Santa Rosa Hotel & Spa practically floats over the sparkling
Gulf of Salerno below. The
former monastery features a variety of unique venues to make for a dream-like
wedding or reception. From small, intimate fetes to large, festive affairs, weddings
may be held anywhere on the property, day or evening.
The gardens comprise four levels of lush
landscape and terraced walkways – any of which can be easily transformed into
an aisle for an al fresco “I do”. The lower lawn and infinity pool deck, hovering
over the Gulf of Salerno, make a perfect location for a reception. Guests can
gather to toast to forever while they watch the sky transform as the sun sets.
The Sunset Terrace, located on the highest
level of the hotel, features a full panorama overlooking the coast with views
stretching from Amalfi to Positano. The expansive terrace has a number of
individual seating areas as well as retractable canopies for shade.
For an indoor event, Monastero Santa Rosa has
several of spacious indoor suites, luxuriously decorated in contemporary
Italian style, all with windows overlooking the sea and many with their own
private outdoor terraces.
Those interested in religious ceremonies will
delight in the choice of four local chapels in the charming town of Conca dei
Marini. The helpful Monastero Santa Rosa staff is able to take care of all the
church arrangements.
As for dining, Monastero Santa Rosa’s
Michelin-starred chef and his culinary team will create a custom-designed wedding
menu. Whether it’s Mediterranean cuisine like homemade pasta and freshly caught
seafood or personal dishes that convey individual tastes, the team will whip up
a multi-course meal comprised of the highest quality ingredients.
After the festivities, the couple can retire
to the comforts of one of the suites. The Sea View Premium Terrace Suite, in
particular, has been dubbed as the most romantic. The bedroom features a
king-sized bed swathed in fine Italian linens while the extraordinary stone bathroom
features a walk-in shower and a double-wide tub. The living and dining room are
adorned with one-of-a-kind antiques and the enormous outdoor terrace comes
complete with a dining table, lounge chairs, lemon trees and a retractable
canopy for shade.
The entire property – all guest rooms and
suites, restaurant, and spa – may be privately reserved, turning the hotel into
a fully equipped Italian villa.
