What if now were the best time to seize the ‘low season’ and enjoy some Italian palaces, when the weather is still utterly delightful? Here’s an example. Nestled on a cliffside on the Amalfi coast, the Borgo Santandrea Hotel was built in the 60s by two Ischia families, both collectors of design and art pieces. Its original mid-century aesthetic has been preserved, and the hotel is equipped with 30 rooms and 19 suites, which include private terraces and pools overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. A swimming pool and terrace have been built into the existing ramparts, while a private white pebble beach lies below, topped off with a restaurant and private pontoon. A little incentive in case you weren’t already convinced, this private bay is where Jackie O used to water-ski!
