Hotel Luna Convento Amalfi Map

The Hotel Luna Convento occupies a truly enchanting position overlooking the bay of Amalfi. In addition to its wonderful location and stunning sea views, the building is of undisputed historical and architectural interest.

As the name of the hotel suggests, the building originally served as a convent. The cloister, in the heart of the complex, was founded by St Francis of Assisi in 1222. The small private chapel of the same era is still used for intimate wedding ceremonies. A later addition to the property, a watch tower built in the 1500's, served so as to guard over the Bay of Amalfi which was often victim of pirate attacks.

These cells have been skillfully transformed in unique guest bedrooms, fitted with all the modern comforts of a four star hotel. The 40 rooms and 5 suites of Hotel Luna Convento are all individually decorated in classic Mediterranean style. The elegant suites contain furnishings made by local craftsmen.
