Where to eat at and around Monastero Santa Rosa Hotel & Spa

Il Refettorio is the reason to book here: a MICHELIN-starred restaurant since 2017, where Chef Alfonso Crescenzo cooks Campanian produce, much of it from his family's organic farm near Sarno, as two tasting menus or à la carte, with starters from €34 and mains from €42, on a terrace over the gardens, the pool and the Gulf of Salerno. Dinner is from 19:30 to 22:00, and you should book. At lunch, Il Mezzogiorno by the pool serves salads and lighter coastal dishes, such as campotti pasta with local shrimp, and Bar La Brocca, on the terrace below the restaurant, pours aperitifs from a wine cellar on display. Beyond the gate, one trattoria is within a ten-minute walk; everything else below is a 6 to 10 minute drive. The hotel's free shuttle runs to Amalfi until midnight; for Furore, Atrani and Minori, take a taxi. Many of the coast's restaurants close for the winter, as the hotel does.

A convent on the cliff for anyone who wants a starred dinner on the terrace, a pool over the sea and a quiet base a shuttle ride from Amalfi. Check availability for the Queen Terrace Room.
