Casa Angelina

Casa Angelina is a boutique luxury hotel in Praiano on the Amalfi Coast, with amazing food and jaw-dropping views.

You could easily drive past the entrance to Casa Angelina’s steep driveway and never know it’s there, even though it’s only a hop, skip and a jump (or about 80 steps!) from quaint Praiano. Just over 4km from Positano, it is a secret romantic hideaway, built into a cliff, completely hidden and secluded, and with the most incredible views of the Amalfi Coast and Positano.

The epitome of ultra-modern boutique luxury, with its fair share of electronic gizmos, the boutique hotel Casa Angelina will blow you away. It is unlike anything else on the Amalfi Coast– sumptuously comfortable, totally relaxing, contemporary and white, filled with vibrant coloured artworks and “starlit” ceilings. Light, sun, sea and sky form an inescapable backdrop, through floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Even the lift is romantic!

For us at Long Travel, Hotel Casa Angelina’s supreme design and uniqueness has so much to do with colour. The first impression is that it is so, so gleaming white and perfect and the wooden floors are so polished and shiny. However, the eye is soon attracted addictively to the inspirational flashes of colour and the fantastic unique artwork. It’s hard to believe that anything will draw the eye away from those wonderful sea views, but the art and sculpture are equally spectacular and made all the more striking when it has a backdrop of such blue, blue sea. The Cuban artist, Sosabravo, collaborated with the masters of Murano glass to create glass sculptures, which are truly sensational. You will happen upon the little bronze frogs of “The Frogman “, Tim Cotterill, who was originally a Leicester artist. Hanging from shelves, peering into glass bowls, they will make you smile. More than a hotel, boutique Casa Angelina will dance with your emotions, in so many ways.

You will see sleek, clean, contemporary lines from the sumptuous lounges and bar, to the fabulous “restaurant in the sky”. Casa Angelina’s bedrooms have a real unique designer feel – very white, with furniture by Sorrento craftsmen, Parisian terrace furniture, Philippe Stark in the shower rooms, and with enough electronic gizmos to blow your mind! Romantic terraces, seemingly everywhere, make the most of the dramatic sea and Amalfi Coast views.

The food is delicious and irresistible, fabulous to look at AND tasty. Taking the traditional and local recipes and ingredients and giving them a modern flourish, there is real fine dining in the restaurant – gourmet cuisine fit for any modern gastronome. Less formal cocktails and lighter refreshments, served by the Bar Marrakech on the terrace, are equally appetising.

Casa Angelina is unique. Tranquil and utterly romantic, it is also relaxed and unpretentious. It feels young and hip, but actually is great for everyone. Even a great honeymoon choice!
