You can still see the poignantly ruined outline of the medieval palace that once sat here on this high escarpment above the Amalfi, but it is the elliptical edge of the open-air infinity pool that curves around the equally dramatic cliff that will draw you and your eye into the blue. Of course the heated water makes it an easy decision to dip your body in there too. A dedicated concierge, ready to sling iPods, fresh fruit and Evian vaporisers your way, as well as a woodfire pizza oven baking Neapolitan pizzas, makes this spectacular pool area an all day stay.
