It’s the rare traditional-style hotel that really gets us going, but the Santa Caterina is an absolute classic. Family-owned for the better part of a century, it sits high on a hillside facing the sea and the town of Amalfi — guests ride an elevator down to the hotel’s private beach, for the ultimate storybook Italian-coast experience.
Santa Caterina is the real deal: the grounds are all terraces, olive groves and lemon orchards, with the kind of jaw-dropping views that make the Amalfi — if we may be painfully earnest — one of the world’s most special places. The look of the building, and of the interiors, is charmingly old-fashioned; there’s no attempted design-boutique guff here, and it comes off timeless rather than dated.
The signature restaurant takes in the spectacular view from a terrace on the cliff, while a second serves wood-fired pizza beside the salt-water swimming pool, on the lower deck by the seaside. It’s up there with the best hotels on the Amalfi Coast: elegant yet fairly unpretentious, for what it is, with a bit of the air of a private residence about it, something many lesser hotels try in vain to cultivate.

What I liked:
Old school, 5 star luxury. It's 4th generation family owned and that's a much different feel than a corporate owned luxury property. It's more personal. The staff like and respect the owners and they all seem to really like working there. Really great, unforgettable experience at HSC.
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing, had a wonderful stay!
