The setting
Perched 90 metres above the Tyrrhenian Sea on Via Giovanni Augustariccio above the ancient fishing village of Conca dei Marini, Borgo Santandrea is a Modernist structure — transformed by architect Rino Gambardella with a mid-century furniture collection reupholstered in Italian fabrics — occupying a privileged position between Amalfi and Positano. The luminescent Grotta dello Smeraldo sea cave is nineteen minutes on foot, while the dramatic fjord of Fiordo di Furore is seven minutes by road. One of the few Amalfi Coast hotels with a private shingle beach accessed by cliff lift, the property commands uninterrupted coast views and a seclusion that luxury travellers have sought on this stretch since the Grand Tour era.
