Famous 5-star Amalfi coast hotel for elopements

Highlights

Perched above the surreal sea along the Amalfi coast, this wedding hotel in Italy enjoys a panoramic coastal setting that you won't see elsewhere. It is an extensive property in the town of Amalfi, Italy with boundaries beginning from the Amalfi drive down to the naturally decorated landscaped terraces.

Location

As one of the most scenic places in Italy, you can easily reach Amalfi from Naples international airport. All you have to do is to take the ring road of Naples and follow the directions for the motorway to Salerno. Then you'll see the directions pointing to the Amalfi drive. Half a mile from the centre of Amalfi, there lies this wedding hotel. The whole travel from Naples airport to the hotel is approximately 1 ½ hours. If you're coming from Rome intercontinental airport, that would be 3½ hours.

Ceremony

This wedding hotel in Amalfi is equally suitable for both intimate elopements for two and larger celebrations of up to 100 guests. The botanical garden is most fitting for a symbolic wedding ceremony with a small group of guests and it can be used without a rental fee. The hotel staff will arrange a ceremony table and two chairs for the spouses plus the chairs for your guests. Take note however, that wedding styling is not included in the free use of the venue.

For a bigger guest list, you can have a ceremony in one of the wedding hotel’s restaurants, function rooms, or the awesome private beach club with a perfect view of the sea! Should you wish to have a Catholic ceremony, the magnificent Duomo di Sant'Andrea in Amalfi is only 1 km away from the hotel.

Reception

After the ceremony, your guests may enjoy drinks and refreshments during cocktail hour at the Grottino terrace overlooking the pool. Adjacent to the terrace is the Al Mare restaurant that is available in exclusive use for summer weddings, provided that you have at least 25 adult guests.

You can reach Al Mare restaurant from the main hall via a panoramic lift. A long table is perfect for a very intimate dinner of up to 30 persons but more tables can be arranged inside the restaurant for over 30 guests. After dinner, you can enjoy music and dancing at the Grottino terrace if you rent the area exclusively.

The hotel has an indoor restaurant called "Santa Caterina" for spring and autumn weddings.

Accommodation

This Italian wedding hotel has 66 luminous rooms and suites with balconies, terraces, and large windows so you can wake up to the scenic view of the sea. The rooms are decorated with early 20th century family pieces and Vietri multi-coloured ceramics.

You can opt for a deluxe room or a generously-sized suite for your whole stay in the hotel. Both types have modern amenities such as a big screen TV with USB ports, a mini bar, a full range of Bvlgari toiletries, high-quality robes and slippers, and proper lighting so the ladies can get their hair and makeup done perfectly any time of the day. You can expect some more additions to the suites like a Jacuzzi, private gardens, and large balconies or terraces directly above the sea.

The Il Torrino Suite, which is set apart from all the other rooms and suites, is specially located near the hotel's botanic gardens. It has large windows that look out over the view of the whole of Amalfi.

Catering

You don't need to hire a caterer separately if you get married in this Amalfi coast wedding hotel. The talented chef Domenico Cuomo and his team can prepare pre-dinner appetizers and full course meals for the reception. They have several menu options that can be tailored according to your preference. The hotel can also take care of your wedding cake plus the wine and drinks during and after dinner for an extra fee.

Facilities

Take advantage of the hotel's fitness center that you can find at the beach club. Enjoy the panoramic sea view as you exercise in this hotel facility. For relaxation before or after the wedding, enter the spa/beauty centre within the hotel grounds. It offers relaxing detox aromassages, steam bath, beauty treatments, Scottish shower, and sauna. The beach club allows guests to book different kinds of boats so you can maximize your travel to Italy by exploring other parts of the coastline from the sea.
