Housed in a former convent founded by St. Francis of Assisi in 1222, this beautiful historic hotel, the only one of its kind among Amalfi hotels, has been visited by famous people such as Henrik Ibsen, Ingrid Bergman, Roberto Rossellini and many others. Located high up on the sea, the buildings around the Cloister include 43 rooms and suites, each different from one other, elegantly decorated and furnished in pure Mediterranean style. They offer a spectacular view on the crystal-clear sea. In this hotel there is also a church where weddings are celebrated and a Saracen Tower where cooking courses take place, and which clients can reach the cliff, equipped with facilities and a seawater pool. Two restaurants with panoramic view offer a simple but genuine cuisine, inspired by the traditional aromas and flavors of the Amalfi Coast.
