Luxury Hotel
Vietri sul Mare, Italy
A hillside Amalfi Coast retreat with panoramic sea views, Vietri ceramic interiors, Mediterranean dining, landscaped terraces, and Thalea Spa.
About the hotel
Set above the Gulf of Salerno in the hillside hamlet of Raito, Hotel Raito occupies a panoramic position at the eastern entrance to the Amalfi Coast. Surrounded by Mediterranean gardens, citrus groves and terraced landscapes, the property looks towards Vietri sul Mare and the distinctive rock formations along its coastline. The historic ceramics town and nearby beaches are accessible from the hotel, while Salerno, Cetara and the wider Amalfi Coast remain within easy reach.
The five-star property belongs to RHC Group and has developed its identity around the relationship between the region's natural landscape, hospitality traditions and Mediterranean culture. Rather than occupying a beachfront position, the hotel embraces its elevated setting, with outdoor terraces, gardens and shared spaces arranged to take advantage of the surrounding scenery. Its combination of resort facilities and proximity to Vietri makes it suitable for both longer coastal stays and shorter visits to southern Italy.
Accommodation extends across 77 rooms and suites, with interiors incorporating the colours and traditional ceramics associated with Vietri sul Mare. Categories range from Classic and Superior rooms to Deluxe accommodation and larger suites, with selected options featuring balconies, private terraces and panoramic sea views. The Seiren suites introduce additional living space and distinctive features such as four-poster beds and indoor Jacuzzis, while the Sunshine Grand View Suite offers a furnished private terrace overlooking the coastline.
Wellness and gastronomy form an important part of the experience. Thalea Spa occupies approximately 300 m² indoors, with a heated pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, Turkish bath and treatment rooms, complemented by a panoramic solarium overlooking the sea. Il Golfo Restaurant serves contemporary Mediterranean and Campanian cuisine, while the seasonal Grill & Pizzeria and Pool Lounge Bar offer more informal dining beside the outdoor swimming pool. The surrounding terraces provide views across the Gulf of Salerno throughout the day.
Today, Hotel Raito is particularly well suited to couples, families, wellness travellers and guests exploring the Amalfi Coast without staying in its busiest coastal towns. Its combination of panoramic terraces, regional gastronomy, extensive wellness facilities and a convenient position near Vietri sul Mare provides a comfortable base for discovering the area's beaches, ceramic traditions and historic villages.

Creator experience
“Hotel Raito felt like a peaceful escape above the Amalfi Coast. I loved waking up to sweeping views over the Mediterranean and spending slow moments surrounded by the hotel’s lush gardens and elegant atmosphere. The combination of traditional Italian charm, warm hospitality, and the beautiful setting of Vietri sul Mare made the entire experience feel timeless, relaxing, and wonderfully connected to the character of the coast.”
