Romantic Spa Escape on the Amalfi Coast
Filled with scenic splendor, the coastline with its rugged hills and the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Salerno will bring a smile to your face the instant you arrive. No wonder romantics are flocking to the newest hotel and spa in the area, Monastero Santa Rosa, a beautifully intimate place. This summer, the hotel is offering Santa Rosa Spa Romance, a three night stay with special spa treatments for lovers, starting at $2,916.73 for two.

For starters, the offer includes three nights in a Sea View Deluxe room or a Sea View Superior Suite; full breakfast daily; an upgrade on arrival, if available; a romantic candle-lit, five-course dinner created by the award-winning chef Christoph Bob and served in the gardens overlooking the sea; a bottle of chilled Franciacorta sparkling wine, fruit and homemade chocolates in your room upon arrival; and a special turndown gift each night.

Both persons will receive the unique 80-minute Candle Massage in the prestigious Santa Rosa Spa Suite. An aromatic powder scrub of iris or bitter orange softens and prepares the skin for a deeply focused relaxing massage. A candle made of the exclusive Santa Maria Novella pure plant oils is lit as an ordinary candle. As it melts to body temperature, it is massaged into the face, feet and body, releasing a warm spicy aroma and leaving the skin smooth and refreshed. The candle is in a ceramic Santa Maria Novella holder which is given to the guests at the end of the treatment so they may continue the treatment at home.

The Santa Rosa Spa Romance also comprises complimentary daily use of the Thermal Suite which includes a stunning double height vaulted Tepidarium with mosaic heated benches with pomegranate whirlpool footbaths, a domed herbal Steam Room with individual custom seats for relaxing, a Crushed Ice Fountain to refresh between thermal bathing, a stone and wood Sauna, a Hydrotherapy Pool and a series of Experience Showers.

All spa treatments feature the exclusive Santa Maria Novella products. Other extras: the Outdoor Heated Infinity Pool and the Fitness facility in the gardens, both with spectacular views of the Amalfi Coast.

From now until May 20, 2013, the three-night Santa Rosa Spa Romance vacation is $2,916.73 for a Seaview Deluxe Room. From May 21 to October 6, it is $3,841.81. For more information or reservations, visit www.monasterosantarosa.com.
