casa angelina

The morning sun illuminates Casa Angelina’s white terraces as guests enjoy espresso on private balconies, looking out over the Tyrrhenian Sea and the distant Faraglioni rocks of Capri below. The village of Praiano begins its day, its historic charm standing in subtle contrast to the hotel’s contemporary design perched high above the water.

Casa Angelina has been recognized with a 2025 Global Recognition Award, an achievement that distinguishes it in a highly competitive global hospitality sector. This award highlights the hotel’s consistent delivery of quality and guest satisfaction on the Amalfi Coast. With only 36 rooms and suites, Casa Angelina maintains a high staff-to-guest ratio, allowing attentive service. Its restaurant, Un Piano Nel Cielo, recently received a Michelin star, further establishing the hotel as a notable culinary destination.

Sustainability is integrated into the hotel’s operation, as evidenced by its Global Sustainable Tourism Council certification and participation in The Leading Hotels of the World’s Sustainability Leaders program. Casa Angelina’s guest satisfaction ratings are regularly above industry averages, with reviews often noting the hotel’s ability to provide a stay that meets and sometimes surpasses expectations.

Signature Experiences and Accommodations Excellence

Casa Angelina’s defining feature is its approach to “silent luxury”—a style that emphasizes genuine experiences over extravagance. The hotel’s private boats, including the Lady Angelina and Master Angelina, allow guests to explore the Amalfi Coast’s lesser-known coves and beaches. These boats, built in the traditional Sorrentine Gozzo style, offer a smooth ride, and guests can enjoy meals prepared by Executive Chef Leopoldo Elefante while on board.

The hotel’s 36 rooms and suites feature a white-on-white design by local architect Marco de Luca, creating a neutral backdrop for the Mediterranean scenery. The Vermarine Suite, at 452 square feet, offers an open-plan layout with a living area, walk-in closet, and bathroom with a freestanding tub. Amenities include Etro cotton sheets, L’Occitane and Jo Malone toiletries, in-room iPads, and large flat-screen televisions.

Guest feedback frequently mentions the comfort and attention to detail, with one guest noting:

“Everything about Casa Angelina is pure perfection—from the staff, rooms, turndown service, food, overall ambiance, ease of activities and access to the beach.”

The adults-only policy contributes to a quiet environment, while personalized touches such as custom room scents and evening turndown service demonstrate the staff’s focus on guest comfort.

Culinary Excellence and Wellness Sanctuary

The hotel’s culinary program is centered around Un Piano Nel Cielo, a Michelin-starred rooftop restaurant led by Chef Leopoldo Elefante. His menu draws on regional traditions and local ingredients, much sourced from the hotel’s organic garden. The tasting menu includes herb-crusted lamb and John Dory with local herbs, focusing on fresh, seasonal produce.

Casa Angelina also offers private dining experiences, including chef’s table sessions where guests can watch their meals prepared in the Seascape Restaurant kitchen. The wine selection, managed by the hotel’s sommelier, features 3,000 bottles strongly emphasizing Campania wines. Most ingredients used in the kitchen are certified organic and locally sourced, supporting area producers.

The wellness center features treatments using Augustinus Bader and Nectarome products. Signature therapies include The Method Augustinus Bader facial, which combines skincare technology with massage. Guests can access Pilates, yoga, an indoor heated pool, and treatment rooms overlooking the sea.

Location Advantages and Future Developments

Located in Praiano, Casa Angelina offers a quieter alternative to busier Amalfi Coast towns while providing convenient access to the region’s attractions. The hotel’s La Gavitella Beach Club, which is reached via elevator and a short walk away, is reserved for guests and includes sunbeds, umbrellas, and towels. The club also offers water sports equipment and locally made lemon sorbet.

The hotel’s art collection features works by artists such as Alfredo Sosabravo and Patricia Valencia Carstens, adding a cultural dimension to the guest experience. Casa Angelina also supports local artisans and suppliers, integrating regional craftsmanship and sustainable practices into its operations.

Looking ahead, Casa Angelina plans further updates and new guest experiences to maintain its standing in the luxury hospitality market. The hotel’s ongoing focus on sustainability, culinary quality, and authentic local integration ensures it remains a strong choice for travelers seeking a refined, genuine Amalfi Coast experience. A 2025 Global Recognition Award reflects Casa Angelina’s ability to balance tradition and new ideas in a way that appeals to today’s discerning guests.
