Palazzo Casanova with Sea View, Jacuzzi, Terraces, Breakfast and Aircon

Magnificent 17th Century Historic Residence with Panoramic Sea Views, Outdoor Jacuzzi, Daily Breakfast, Housekeeping and Exceptional Hospitality in the Heart of Amalfi
Perched above the timeless beauty of Amalfi, Palazzo della Storia offers an extraordinary opportunity to experience one of the Amalfi Coast's most prestigious historic residences. Dating back to the 17th century and lovingly preserved by the same family for almost four centuries, this remarkable home combines authentic Italian heritage with refined contemporary comfort, creating an atmosphere of elegance that few properties can offer.
Located in the upper part of Amalfi's historic centre, approximately 400 metres from Piazza Flavio Gioia, the villa enjoys a privileged panoramic position overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the picturesque rooftops of Amalfi and the dramatic coastline that has made this destination famous throughout the world.
Behind its historic façade lies over 300 square metres of beautifully restored living space where soaring vaulted ceilings, handcrafted Vietri ceramics, antique furnishings and carefully selected finishes celebrate the rich history of the Amalfi Coast while offering every modern comfort expected from a luxury holiday residence.
Unlike a traditional villa, Palazzo della Storia offers the charm of an exclusive private residence together with the attentive service of a boutique hotel. Every morning begins with a generous continental breakfast, while daily housekeeping and complimentary porter service ensure a seamless and relaxing stay from arrival to departure.
Whether you are planning a family celebration, a special occasion with friends or simply looking for an unforgettable retreat overlooking the sea, Palazzo della Storia offers an authentic luxury experience in one of Italy's most iconic destinations.
Spectacular Panoramic Terraces and Outdoor Jacuzzi
Life at Palazzo della Storia naturally unfolds outdoors.
The main panoramic terrace of approximately 150 square metres enjoys breathtaking views over Amalfi, the harbour and the sparkling waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Elegantly furnished with comfortable seating areas, sun loungers and outdoor dining spaces, it is the perfect setting for leisurely breakfasts, long Mediterranean lunches or unforgettable evenings beneath the stars.
A second panoramic terrace extends directly from the elegant living room, dining room and all four bedrooms, allowing guests to wake each morning to uninterrupted sea views and the unmistakable beauty of Amalfi.
Completing this exceptional outdoor space is a private panoramic outdoor jacuzzi (3 x 2.3 m), perfectly positioned to enjoy breathtaking views over Amalfi and the Mediterranean Sea. The jacuzzi is not heated and is available from 1 April until 31 October, offering the perfect place to unwind after a day spent exploring the Amalfi Coast while surrounded by one of Italy's most spectacular coastal landscapes.
From sunrise to sunset, every terrace offers a constantly changing landscape where the colours of the sea blend seamlessly with the pastel buildings of Amalfi below.
