Hotel Luna Convento

Overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, Hotel Luna Convento, a casual hotel in a former monastery in Amalfi, Italy, is a 6-minute walk from the 9th-century Cathedral and 6 km from Moorish Villa Rufolo.

Their rooms, each different from one other, have a spectacular view on the crystal-clear sea of the Ancient Maritime Republic. The decorations and furnishings, in pure Mediterranean style, create that warm and comfortable atmosphere which has always characterized the Hotel Luna Convento. The Classic Suite, large and comfortable with a wonderful view of the natural beauty of the Amalfi Coast, is furnished with taste and style, combining the warm colours of the hand-painted ceramic tiles in vietri style with the elegance of the antique trade furniture.

Amenities include a casual eatery and a two elegant restaurant with arched ceilings and a panoramic view for pampering your palates with the simple and genuine cuisine of our chefs, inspired by the traditional aromas and flavours of the Amalfi Coast.

There is also an outdoor saltwater pool and a sun deck, as well as a lounge and a cloister. The seawater swimming pool, the solarium and the private access to the sea will become ideal places to enjoy moments of pure relaxation, lulled by the sound of the waves and kissed by the warm rays of the sun.

Almost two hundred years have passed after the conversion from a Franciscan monastery grounded in the thirteenth century by St Francis of Assisi first into an inn and after that into a Historical hotel designated “Hotel Luna Convento” in Amalfi, which has been continuously managed by five generations of the Barbaro family.

In this place, in the ancient cloister, there are also two artistic panels created by Angelo Tajani when it comes to the historical research and his brother Claudio for the graphics and photographs, illustrating the path of tourism since the time of travel of the “Grand Tour” to this day.

The panels show the origin of visitors from all five continents through a selection of autographs, appraisals, poems and images extracted from the “Golden Books” of the guests of the hotel. Travellers, among which stands out international personalities of the clergy, culture, art, politics and of the aristocracy, were drawn to these places by the beauty of the coast, from the history of the ancient Maritime Republic and from the remains of the apostle Andrew buried in the crypt of the Cathedral.
