All-white minimalist Praiano cliffside, the contemporary-anniversary alternative.
All-white minimalist Praiano cliffside, the contemporary-anniversary alternative.
"The 2003 contemporary Praiano cliffside hotel, the working contemporary-design Amalfi Coast boutique."
Why this rank, Casa Angelina opened in 2003 on the Praiano cliffside between Positano and Amalfi, designed as a contemporary all-white architectural register (the property is the working contemporary-design Amalfi Coast boutique, distinct from the heritage-pastel Positano cliffside-village architectural register). 39 rooms and suites; the Eolo Suite with private terrace, the Casa Privata Suite, and the multi-bedroom Family Suite are the property's signature accommodations. Un Piano nel Cielo restaurant runs the formal dinner anchor (Mediterranean with one-Michelin-star-quality cooking on the cliff-edge terrace, one star); the Lounge handles the cocktail programme. The Praiano position is the working middle-coast position between Positano and Amalfi, less busy than Positano but with the same cliffside-village architectural register. The contemporary all-white architectural register combined with the Praiano middle-coast position produces the working contemporary-design Amalfi Coast boutique alternative to the heritage-cliffside-village Positano hotels. Best for the Amalfi Coast stay at the working contemporary-design boutique.
Best room: Eolo Suite, private terrace, sea view
"All-white minimalist Praiano cliffside, the contemporary-anniversary alternative."
Casa Angelina is the all-white minimalist contemporary property on the Praiano cliffside, the most architecturally-distinctive contemporary Amalfi hotel and the explicit alternative to the Positano-and-Ravello traditional-luxury cluster. Forty-three rooms and suites in white-on-white interiors (the family that owns the property is the second-generation Italian-design dynasty Capezzuto), the upper-tier Casa Angelina Suite with private cliff-terrace is the working anniversary flagship. The asset is the design-coherent aesthetic, the all-white architecture, the contemporary-art collection (the property holds works by Jaume Plensa, Igor Mitoraj, and the Murano glass collection), and the in-house Un Piano nel Cielo restaurant on the rooftop is the only rooftop-Michelin-starred kitchen on the coast. The cliffside elevator to the private beach (an 80-metre descent) handles the working day. Casa Angelina is the right pick for the anniversary couple who finds the Positano-and-Ravello traditional-luxury too cliché and wants the contemporary-design alternative, the trip's photograph aesthetic is the all-white architecture, the working dinner is at the rooftop Un Piano nel Cielo, and the Praiano position handles the calmer evening.
Casa Angelina Suite (the cliff-edge multi-room flagship) or Junior Suite Sea View for the working couple-of-friends option.
Book Un Piano nel Cielo for the anniversary dinner, the rooftop terrace is the working centerpiece. Photograph the all-white architecture at golden hour. The 80-metre cliffside elevator to the beach is the working morning recovery.
Casa Angelina sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels on the Amalfi Coast for an Anniversary list. It scored an aggregate 9.6/10 across the three editorial criteria, competitive against the field but, on an anniversary-specific factors, the angle above is what earned its rank. For the alternatives in the same Amalfi Coast neighbourhood, see Praiano and adjacent. For a different city entirely, see the related lists below.
If you have already chosen the dates, our editor recommends booking the room twelve weeks ahead. The best suites with the right view orientation go first, and inventory for the popular months is quoted in months, not weeks. Suite-level rooms with private plunge pools or terraces, the ones that earn this rank, are typically the first to sell out.
Editorial · #16 on the Top 20 Hotels on the Amalfi Coast 2026 list
Casa Angelina's case for the Amalfi Coast stay is the 2003 contemporary all-white architectural register. The property is the working contemporary-design Amalfi Coast boutique, distinct from the heritage-pastel Positano cliffside-village architectural register.
The 39 rooms and suites across the property include the Eolo Suite with private terrace, the Casa Privata Suite, and the multi-bedroom Family Suite.
Un Piano nel Cielo restaurant runs the formal dinner anchor (Mediterranean with one-Michelin-star-quality cooking on the cliff-edge terrace, the property's signature restaurant); the Lounge handles the cocktail programme. The contemporary all-white architectural register combined with the Praiano middle-coast position produces the working contemporary-design Amalfi Coast boutique alternative to the heritage-cliffside-village Positano hotels. The Praiano position is the working middle-coast position between Positano and Amalfi, less busy than Positano but with the same cliffside-village architectural register. The 39-room scale combined with the contemporary design language produces a different Amalfi register from the larger Le Sirenuse or Palazzo Avino. Best for the Amalfi Coast stay at the working contemporary-design boutique.
