At a Glance
Located in Praiano, down the coast from Positano, Casa Angelina is not the most luxurious spot on the coast, but the modern boutique hotel is comfortable and has its charms.

Review
The 39 room Casa Angelina in Praiano, which is between Positano and Amalfi, boasts a minimalist-chic style, a rarity in the normally colorfully tiled interiors along this coast. The all-white rooms are quite small, with contemporary furniture. Junior suites have the best views and balconies from which to enjoy them. Arriving at the property is not for the feint of heart, due to hair-pin turns and a deep drop to the sea. Needless to say, views from Angelina’s terrace are gorgeous. There is access to a beach, but it is down 259 steps—and then back up again. The beach scene is not like that at the private stretch at the San Pietro either. It’s a local’s beach, where sunbathers stack in chair-to-chair (you do feel like you are truly part of local life, which is also not always a given on the overly touristy Amalfi Coast). The hotel has a small spa and arranges boat charters as well. Don't miss a meal at the hotel's gourmet restaurant, Un Piano Nel Cielo, which has stunning views of the coast.
