A five-year restoration by Orient-Express Hotels has transformed this eleventh-century Moorish-influenced palazzo into a property as dazzling as its location overlooking the Gulf of Salerno. The frescoes burst with color, the gardens are a sensory bonanza, and the extraordinary infinity pool makes it seem as if you could float out to the turquoise sea a thousand feet below. Room details—mosaic-tiled floors, televisions that rise out of stylish cabinets with the push of a button—are a study in comfort. Spa therapies are performed in-room—at least until the Wellness Center opens later this year. The hotel maintains a fishing boat to take guests on complimentary explorations along the Amalfi Coast. Add to all this a stunning terrace restaurant and superb service and it's hard to imagine leaving.
When to go: April through mid-July, and September and October.
Which room to book: Many of the 52 rooms have distinctive architectural details, but No. 301, the 700-square-foot Jackie O Suite, has a terrace, a garden, and a private pool (doubles, $723–$887).
