Casa Angelina’s unique collection of experiences on the Amalfi Coast
A member of The Leading Hotels of the World, the 36-room retreat is not simply a hotel but a contemporary home overlooking one of the world’s most celebrated coastlines.
Surrounded by lemon groves, dramatic cliffs and endless blue horizons, Casa Angelina offers guests a serene sanctuary where the timeless pleasures of southern Italy are reimagined through a lens of quiet luxury.
For the 2026 season, Casa Angelina introduces a curated collection of immersive experiences designed to connect guests with the enduring traditions, craftsmanship and stories of the Amalfi Coast.
Rooted in authenticity and guided by local people whose knowledge has been passed from generation to generation, each experience offers an opportunity to engage with the soul of Praiano and create memories that linger long after departure.
From planting seeds in the hotel’s biodynamic garden and learning the ancient art of preserving tomatoes alongside Executive Chef Leopoldo Elefante, to joining local fishermen at sea beneath the glow of traditional lanterns, guests are invited to experience the rhythms and rituals that have shaped coastal life for centuries.
Encounters with local artisans reveal equally compelling stories through the delicate craft of bobbin lacemaking, handwoven basket-making and creative experiences inspired by the colours, light and beauty of the Amalfi Coast.
A celebration of life’s meaningful milestones, Garden of Moments invites guests to create a living connection with Casa Angelina and the Amalfi Coast. During their stay, guests are gifted specially selected seedlings cultivated by the hotel’s gardeners and invited to plant them within Casa Angelina’s biodynamic garden.
Whether marking a special anniversary, a new chapter in life or simply a cherished journey, each planting becomes part of the evolving story of the hotel. Guests are encouraged to return in future seasons to witness their contribution flourishing among the gardens, creating a deeply personal bond with a place that continues to grow and evolve over time.
For generations, the sea has shaped the identity of Praiano and the lives of those who call it home. Ancient Lantern Fishing offers guests the opportunity to experience this enduring heritage through an intimate night-time excursion inspired by the traditional lampare fishing technique.
Accompanied by a local fisherman, guests venture out beneath the stars, learning the rhythms of the sea and the customs that have been passed down through coastal communities for centuries. The experience continues the following day alongside Executive Chef Leopoldo Elefante, who guides guests in preparing their catch using seasonal local ingredients and simple techniques that honour the integrity of the sea.
More than a culinary experience, it is a journey into the traditions, stories and enduring relationship between Praiano and the Mediterranean.
In southern Italy, the annual preparation of tomato preserves is more than a culinary ritual; it is a treasured family tradition that brings generations together. Nonna’s Secret invites guests to take part in this timeless practice and discover one of Campania’s most cherished customs.
The experience begins with a leisurely walk through Casa Angelina’s organic garden alongside Executive Chef Leopoldo Elefante, gathering sun-ripened tomatoes and fragrant basil while learning about the cultural significance of preserving the flavours of summer for the months ahead.
Back in the kitchen, guests are guided through the traditional preparation of homemade passata using techniques handed down through generations. At the end of the experience, each guest takes home a jar of handcrafted tomato preserve—a simple yet meaningful reminder of the warmth, generosity and traditions of southern Italian life.
Inspired by the extraordinary colours, light and landscapes of the Amalfi Coast, Palette of Paradise invites guests to slow down, observe and express their creativity through art.
Set against the backdrop of one of Italy’s most captivating panoramas, the experience is guided by local artists who encourage participants to capture their personal interpretation of the coast, whether they are experienced painters or complete beginners.
More than a painting lesson, it is a meditative and inspiring journey that encourages guests to engage deeply with their surroundings and preserve a personal memory of their time in Praiano through artistic expression.
An intricate craft deeply woven into the cultural fabric of the Amalfi Coast, bobbin lacemaking has been preserved by generations of artisans whose patience and dedication have kept the tradition alive.
Through an exclusive partnership with a local craftswoman, guests are invited to discover the history, symbolism, and techniques behind this remarkable art form. Beyond learning the craft itself, the experience creates an authentic moment of connection and cultural exchange, offering insight into lives, stories and traditions continuing to shape the local community today.
Craftsmanship, creativity, and tradition come together in this immersive exploration of handwoven basket-making, a practice that has long been part of daily life along the Amalfi Coast.
Guests are welcomed into the world of local artisans, learning about the materials, techniques and skills required to transform natural fibres into beautiful and functional objects. Each gesture reflects generations of knowledge and a profound respect for handmade artistry.
More than a workshop, the experience offers a deeper understanding of the region’s cultural heritage and provides guests with a tangible connection to the people, traditions, and enduring spirit of Praiano.
