Welcome

A private home by the sea

Hotel Santa Caterina is a family-run five star hotel built into the cliffside beside Amalfi, with terraced gardens, a beach club and a veranda and dining room that look over the sea.

Hotel Santa Caterina opened in 1904 with six rooms and has stayed in the Gambardella family for three generations. It stands on the cliff 700 metres from the centre of Amalfi, with gardens and terraces that step down to the water.
