Casa Angelina, Praiano, Italy
Design and tranquillity are the name of the game at this hip little hideaway, spectacularly set along the sheer-sided Amalfi Coast, where knockout views are perfectly matched by cool interiors.
Alabaster hotel walls and playful pieces of modern art make Angelina feel more like a home; and on top of the wellness centre, indoor and outdoor pools, and gasp-out-loud epicurean expeditions, hassle-free water-taxi or complimentary shuttle bus transfers get you to Positano, and private access to the diminutive La Gavitella Beach Club beneath the hotel uncovers private boat excursions to lesser-explored coves along the coast and beyond.
