Piccolo Sant'Andrea
Praiano, ItalyPiccolo 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.
Breakfast is a lavish continental buffet to enjoy with no rush lulled by the sound of the waves. During the day, a range of refreshing cocktails and traditional aperitifs are served at the lobby bar, which opens onto a panoramic terrace that is beautifully candlelit at night.
Rooms are bright and airy, perfectly blending with the magical landscape that surrounds the hotel. The décor mixes local traditions and modern design, with white featuring heavily, livened up (accented) by pops of sea blue coming from the windows and the bold color palettes used for the precious fabrics by Venetian designer Rubelli.
Most offer spacious panoramic terraces with outdoor showers or private gardens with sea views and all are furnished with Flos lamps, minibar, television, and air conditioning. Beds are exceptionally comfortable, with Simmons mattresses and pure linen sheets, while bathrooms are equipped with double sinks, large mirrors, and jacuzzi bathtubs.
For something truly special, the Igea Suite comes with a panoramic outdoor jacuzzi and a and double canopy beach bed, while the Odi Suite has a private garden with a four-poster bed and an indoor mosaic pool.
One of the main highlights of this hotel is the incredible location on the side of a cliff, which guarantees unbeatable views across the coastline between Positano and Praiano and up to Punta Campanella, the Li Galli Islands, and Capri.
The hotel has a beautiful outdoor pool that looks out onto the sparkling blue sea. It’s the perfect spot for some sun-drenched relaxation while soaking up the enchanting scenery of the Amalfi Coast.
On top of the classic wellness and beauty treatments, the spa of Piccolo Sant'Andrea was the first in the area to propose the exclusive “Star Method”, a patented technique that combines joint manipulation and functional stretching, promising an incredibly relaxing experience.
