Monastero Santa Rosa Hotel & Spa

A former monastery turned into an intimate luxury retreat. The cliff-edge gardens and infinity pool are breathtaking. Rooms are silent, spotless, and filled with natural light. The staff strike that perfect balance between warmth and discretion. Dinner on the terrace as the sun sets over the sea

As we left our breakfast table after 9 fabulous nights at the Monastero, a delightful honeymooning couple on the next table asked us if we had ever stayed at another hotel as nice. We had asked ourselves the same question the previous evening and reminisced about a variety of hotels that we loved across several continents. However, we concluded that the Monastero Santa Rosa was very special in every way and had exceeded our expectations in its history, beauty, amazing location, and quality in all areas. Kudos to Ferdinando and every member of the team for their passion and generosity making for a truly memorable guest experience. You are the best of the best.

This was our second visit within a twelve month period . Our first visit was for seven nights in a Deluxe Sea View Room. Everything about this trip was complete perfection in every aspect, hence the second trip. Only this time we learnt from our mistake….. we came for 9 nights not 7 ! We also upgraded to the Deluxe Suite (Salvia) which ticked all our boxes. Our only worry this time was whether perfection could be repeated a second time ? My goodness - what an absolute waste of worry that was. Not only did it deliver, it totally exceeded all our expectations once again. Truly sublime and utterly Magical, thank you to every single member of the SR team you all went above and beyond to make our second stay even better. Ferdinando the GM is truly lovely and really has Santa Rosa in his heart - it’s not actually just a team it’s a family Thank you to EVERYONE Antony & Helen

We were very much looking forward to our stay here, especially after reading the reviews here. We just spent five days there. On the positive side, the staff is really lovely and goes out of their way to be friendly and helpful. The outdoor areas are truly lovely. Our agent kept us busy but gave us one day off and we spent time at the pool - it was wonderful and beautiful. There are two negatives. It is a converted monastery. The room was very small and certainly not a place we looked forward to returning to. But the worst part of the experience was our dinner there. My fish dish was bland and uninteresting and my wife's pasta dish was inedible. We did appreciate the shuttle which was readily available to us. But I doubt we would return.

We have been returning to this beautiful hotel/spa for years now, The service is impeccable, the location unique and it’s among our favorite places to relax and unwind in private pampered luxury. It’s easy to see why it took, Bianca, the owner a decade to convert this ancient monastery previously run by the nuns into a world class people sanctuary. This place never ever disappoints.
