Piccolo Sant’Andrea is a heavenly five-star retreat located near the pretty village of Praiano and only a few minutes from Positano (guests can use complimentary shuttles to both villages all day long). Named after Saint Andrew, the patron saint of Amalfi, the hotel enjoys a spectacular setting on the side of a cliff, offering unobstructed views of the coast that extend towards the island of Capri.
Piccolo Sant’Andrea was opened in 2018 by the Sartori brothers to honour their father, Venetian entrepreneur Odino Sartori, who fell in love with this magical coastal spot while on business in Naples back in the 1970s and decided to build his buen retiro here.
The stunning panoramic pool is particularly pleasant for relaxing after a day out exploring the beauties of the Amalfi Coast, and there’s lots of outdoor space with comfy seating areas to linger over a drink surrounded by the sweet scent of the orange blossoms.
A range of wellness and beauty treatments are also available at the hotel’s spa, which includes a large heated pool with jacuzzi (one of the biggest in the area), a sauna, a Turkish bath, and an emotional shower.
