Italy’s enchanting Amalfi Coast provides the backdrop for Monastero Santa Rosa’s intimate hotel of 20 deluxe rooms and suites. Perched on the cliffs of Conca dei Marini above the Gulf of Salerno, the former 17th-century monastery reopened as a small luxury hotel in 2012. It offers stunning coastal panoramas, a serene spa, and terraced gardens that lead to an infinity pool overlooking the sea, where the air is fragrant with rosemary, lavender, roses and lemon.
This fall and winter, the hotel is inviting guests to rediscover the coastline with a Health & Hike getaway. The three-night package includes accommodation in a deluxe room or suite and multi-hour guided hikes led by an expert local guide, who will introduce scenic trails and the area’s natural highlights. Midday meals are elevated with a carefully prepared picnic lunch created by the hotel’s Chef Cristoph Bob, designed to be both satisfying and nourishing after vigorous walks.
After a day on the trails, guests can unwind with a 60-minute Signature Arnica Body Wrap Treatment in the spa, which features Santa Maria Novella products. The treatment begins with a hot foot soak in volcanic mineral salts, followed by a muscle-relieving massage and a full-body mask to ease any lingering tension. The spa’s facilities also include a sauna, steam bath, hydro pool, tepidarium and a mosaic-tiled experience shower, giving guests multiple options to relax and restore.
In addition to guided hikes and spa therapies, the getaway presents a hands-on culinary opportunity. Guests can join a chef-led excursion into the hotel’s gardens to harvest fresh produce and herbs, then return to learn traditional Italian cooking techniques. Chef Bob demonstrates how to transform garden-picked ingredients into healthy, flavorful dishes that reflect the region’s culinary traditions and the hotel’s emphasis on fresh, seasonal fare.
Whether you seek active exploration or restorative downtime, Monastero Santa Rosa’s Health & Hike package balances outdoor adventure with wellness and gastronomy. The combination of dramatic coastal scenery, expert-guided hikes, tailored spa treatments and intimate culinary experiences creates a thoughtful seasonal retreat on one of Italy’s most beloved shores.
