A deep dive into Borgo Santandrea’s timeless elegance
Discover Borgo Santandrea, where mid-century design meets Mediterranean allure, offering an unparalleled experience on the Amalfi Coast. Share
Nestled between the enchanting towns of Amalfi and Positano, Borgo Santandrea emerges as a beacon of modern luxury on the iconic Amalfi Coast. This exquisite establishment, marking the first new luxury hotel to grace this glamorous coastline in over 15 years, is a testament to architectural brilliance and design ingenuity. With its storied walls dramatically clinging to a sheer cliff face, the hotel’s transformation from a 1960s hotel into a contemporary marvel of mid-century design interwoven with Mediterranean elegance is nothing short of breathtaking.
As you traverse the vertical expanse from the top terrace down to the private beach via a cliff-hugging staircase, you’re enveloped in an ambiance that feels akin to an Ancient Greek temple or a medieval castle, courtesy of the hotel’s sprawling bougainvillaea and clouds of fragrant jasmine. The hotel’s gastronomic scene, overseen by Michelin-starred Chef Crescenzo Scotti, offers a rich tapestry of regional flavors through its restaurants Alici, La Libreria, and Al Borgo, ensuring an immersive culinary journey for all guests.
Borgo Santandrea’s design ethos celebrates the fusion of iconic mid-century furniture with the serene beauty of the Amalfi coast. Original pieces by Gio Ponti and Hans Wegner Wishbone Chairs complement the cool Amalfi chic in blue and white tones, creating a harmonious blend of history and modern luxury. This dedication to design extends to the hotel’s 45 rooms and suites, each offering majestic marble bathrooms, bespoke furnishings, and unparalleled sea views, with top suites boasting their own terraces and pools.
The property’s commitment to sustainability and local craftsmanship is evident in its garden terraces, lovingly curated by landscape gardeners Tano Amato and Philip Adiutori. These terraces burst with the vibrant hues and fragrances of Amalfi, featuring olive, lemon, and pomegranate trees, along with winter jasmine and Myrtus communis, some of which date back 150 years. This dedication to the local landscape ensures that the hotel not only pays homage to its breathtaking surroundings but also contributes to the preservation and appreciation of the Amalfi Coast’s natural beauty.
The hotel’s unique offerings, including a private beach club, beach and jetty, alongside an array of amenities like a library, wine cellar, vinyl music lounge, and a technogym-equipped gym, provide guests with an unparalleled experience of luxury and relaxation. Borgo Santandrea’s sophisticated Italian design, craftsmanship, and the timeless allure of the Amalfi Coast, invites guests into a world where luxury meets the legacy of the Mediterranean.
