I’m scared to write this review as I’m worried about turning more people on to this outrageously beautiful, shockingly luxurious, and wildly attentive hidden jewel (not a gem, a diamond to be honest) in Amalfi. First of all - any visitor to the Amalfi coast needs to know; it can be stressful. Crowds, cars, weather, boats, the works - all need to be taken into account. However, at Casa Angelina; we rarely ever felt like leaving. First, the decor and design - modern, clean, beautiful, not a single thing out of place or off, nothing offensive - like a contemporary design museum where everything fits in. My husband and I stayed for two nights and had a gorgeous corner suite. Everything was brand new, and nice tech touches; rare in Europe. They had Apple TV and in-room iPads, for example. Everything was easy to understand and work. The views from this hotel are indescribable - human vision can barely comprehend the scenes you’ll be soaking in from your bed, the couch, the lobby, the terrace, etc. The staff: incredible. Made me feel like family. Spent time talking to you, getting to know you, and making recommendations. I witnessed quite a number of times the staff dealing with “fussy” customers with grace. Every team member went out of their way for you, and honestly I can’t wait to be with them again soon. The Food: Chef Leopoldo is a master. From the breakfast (I won’t spoil it here but it’s not your typical luxury hotel buffet. I stayed at 3 hotels in Amalfi and this was hands down the best) to the other on-property dining moment (Chef Leopoldo introduced me and my husband to a special type of local squid, and then showed us videos of how he personally went to fish it the night before) - it was nothing short of magic. My husband and I love “infiltrating the locals” and Praiano is good for that. A short 5 minute walk from the hotel and you’re sitting a the town cafe sipping espresso with locals and eating 10 euro pizzas. So cute. The rest of the hotel experience: We stayed fit with morning Pilates (just wait til you see where they hold it in the garden…), enjoyed the lemon tree pool, and just generally did what you should be doing on holiday - relaxing. Seriously…can’t recommend this place enough. We ran into guests who were lucky enough to be spending a full two weeks on property, and they looked like they’d just gotten work done: a glow from within and a smile permanently on their face. Be sure to book it with Leading Hotels of the World’s loyalty program Leaders Club. They have a lot of hotels in the country and give great perks! Big kisses to the team at Casa Angelina, we can’t wait to be back. Michael and Ramy
Outstanding
