當(dāng)我們沿途從陰冷潮濕的蘇黎世，在托斯卡納稍做停留再向南進(jìn)時(shí)，意大利南方的春天在這里早已盎然，各路繽紛，帶著南部特有的濃郁，熱情奔放，奪人眼目，一時(shí)間，使得我們來(lái)自遠(yuǎn)方的游客，不由得心情如花綻放。而阿瑪爾菲海岸的攝人魔力，在我們距離酒店還有一小時(shí)車程，卻只有30公里的直線距離時(shí)，愈來(lái)愈緊的侵襲蔓延上來(lái)。

敞篷車沿著在地中海的峭壁修建的公路迂回上駛，仿佛已經(jīng)與混合著陽(yáng)光、海風(fēng)和花香的空氣融為一體。神造萬(wàn)物，似乎獨(dú)愛(ài)此地，我們的心情佐以安德魯.波切利撩人的歌聲，如同電影長(zhǎng)鏡頭般的徐徐展開(kāi)。在這西方文明、藝術(shù)和文化的發(fā)源地，感嘆造物主奇妙作為，面對(duì)幾個(gè)世紀(jì)前建立的人類文明，我們所有的驚艷豈一個(gè)“wow”字了得。

We were driving from the cold and damp Zürich. We stopped by Tuscany and continued southward. Then we found that the spring was already in Italy. The Amalfi Coast worked its magic on the beautiful seaside scenery. We were still one hour's drive， a 30-km crow-fly distance， away from our hotel， but we were getting more and more excited！

Driving along the Mediterranean cliffs， our roadster seemed to blend with the sunshine， sea breezes and the scent of flowers. God created everything， but He seems to love this place alone. Accompanied by Andrea Bocelli's singing and faced with the origins of Western civilization， art and culture， all we could do was to feel this beautiful place in awe.

此次入住的圣羅莎修道院水療酒店，位于距離阿瑪爾菲鎮(zhèn)5分鐘車程的山上，由一座始建于1681年的廢棄修道院改建而來(lái)，由20間客房和8間公寓組成。酒店保留原有修道院的主體建筑結(jié)構(gòu)和仍在正常使用的教堂，并運(yùn)用現(xiàn)代建筑手法，在沿地中海的絕壁上，順著山勢(shì)由上而下，將奢華酒店的必需輔助設(shè)施、無(wú)邊界泳池、露天酒吧、露天健身房、高端水療中心，以及擴(kuò)建并延伸到露臺(tái)的室內(nèi)外兼宜的餐廳，配以意大利南方獨(dú)特的花園景觀，無(wú)敵海景亦成為酒店的一部分，景觀效果美不勝收。

杰奎琳·肯尼迪還是美國(guó)第一夫人的時(shí)候，非常鐘愛(ài)阿瑪爾菲，多次在此舉辦派對(duì)，尤其鐘愛(ài)海上游艇派對(duì)。杰奎琳曾在修道院水療酒店住過(guò)一晚。19世紀(jì)初，當(dāng)修道院的最后一個(gè)修女去世后，酒店未曾維護(hù)修繕，直至1999年被一位在此旅游的美國(guó)女士奇跡般發(fā)現(xiàn)，并于次年投資買下。酒店于2012年正式對(duì)外營(yíng)業(yè)，為尋求低調(diào)奢華的名流和成功人士提供私密和專屬度假服務(wù)。因其優(yōu)越的地理位置，改建后的浪漫風(fēng)情，吸引很多歐洲年輕人來(lái)此度假求婚，出其不意地?cái)埲胄驴蛻羧骸?/p>

MONASTERO SANTA ROSA HOTEL AND SPA is located on a hill， 5 minutes' drive from the town of Amalfi. The hotel was built in 1681 by an abandoned monastery. Then the monastery was converted into a hotel composed of 20 rooms and 8 apartments. The hotel preserves the original main structure and the church which is now in normal use. With the use of modern building techniques， the luxury hotel's necessary ancillary facilities， infinity pool， open-air bar， open-air gym and high-end spa were built on the cliffs of the Mediterranean and neatly arranged down the slope of the hill as well as the indoor and outdoor restaurants on the terrace. The hotel also has a garden in the southern Italian style. The beautiful sea view has become part of the hotel.

When Jacqueline Kennedy was the First Lady of the United States， she loved Amalfi and held parties here many times， especially on cruisers. Jacqueline lived in the hotel for one night. The last nun of the monastery died in the early 19th century. It had never gone through maintenance until 1999 when it was discovered by an American lady. She bought the place the next year. After the lady had worked with local architects for 12 years， the hotel opened in 2012. The hotel provides private and exclusive services for celebrities and successful people who seek a low-key profile. Because of its prime location and romantic atmosphere， it also attracts a lot of young people in Europe to take a holiday or make a proposal， surprisingly bringing new customers.

入世出世一線間

酒店平面呈L型布局，共上下四層。入口極為低調(diào)，保留了修道院原有的厚重木質(zhì)大門。進(jìn)入酒店，世外的塵囂仿佛刷一下突然消失，唯留修道院寂靜奢華的長(zhǎng)廊，溫馨休憩的公共空間，配以小型露臺(tái)為框的天然畫卷。從室外燦爛的陽(yáng)光進(jìn)入略微幽暗的建筑，有種心靈被洗滌的感覺(jué)。酒店接待人員送上修女們最愛(ài)的解暑飲品——檸檬輕飲，讓旅客卸下旅途勞頓。

室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)仍然保留修道院的清水混凝土拋光風(fēng)格，公共休憩部分如小品般的布置在樓道連接空間，僅需滿足服務(wù)需求，并不夸張，樸實(shí)中顯出極其低調(diào)的奢華。每個(gè)客房均在原有修女房間的基礎(chǔ)上予以改建，并以意大利南部的花卉來(lái)命名。房間內(nèi)部非常現(xiàn)代高檔，洗手間干濕分離，設(shè)有地暖。與臥室的連接處配有落地衣櫥，適用的同時(shí)，極具舒適感、歸屬感，讓人徜徉在滿屋花香里，或浸泡在花瓣水療里，看落日余輝將海水染成金色，不想再回塵世。

The hotel is in an L shape when seen from above， with a total of four floors. The entrance appears low-key and retains the original heavy wooden door of the monastery. When you step into the hotel， the outside world seems to disappear suddenly， only creating a picture composed of a silent luxury corridor and warm public spaces with the small terrace as the frame. Bright sunlight entered the building from outside， while the hotel reception staff brought the nuns' favorite beverage to relieve the summer heat_a light lemon drink， so that the guests can get rid of travel fatigue.

The interior design retains the polished concrete of the monastery. Public resting places are scattered in the passage-connecting spaces， low-key and unexaggerated. Each room is rebuilt based on the original dormitory of the nuns， and is named after a flower growing in southern Italy. The rooms are all modern and upscale， with wet and dry separation bathrooms and floor heating. In the bedroom there is a cozy floor-to-ceiling wardrobe which creates a sense of belonging. Soaking in the spa or watching the sunset， you do not want to go back to the real world anyway.

舉杯邀明月

當(dāng)夜晚悄悄臨近，海上生明月時(shí)，修道院之夜拉開(kāi)序幕。拾級(jí)而下，露天酒吧浸入微涼夜色，三三兩兩衣著整齊的客人，已開(kāi)始餐前小酌。

When the night quietly approaches， the moon rises above the sea and the night of the monastery begins. Immersed in the coolness of the night at the open bar， two or three neatly dressed guests were having a pre-dinner drink.

再拾步上到餐廳，海上冉冉升起明月，入夜的地中海顯示出與白天的炙烈喧嘩完全不一樣的沉靜安詳。

酒店主廚是位早年出道時(shí)闖蕩過(guò)上海的德國(guó)人，有著比意大利南方人有過(guò)之而無(wú)不及的浪漫情懷。新鮮食材，精心料理，由操著濃重意大利口音的侍者一一呈上，佐以當(dāng)?shù)丶厌?，邀明月入席?/p>

When the night quietly approaches， the moon rises above the sea and the night of the monastery begins. Immersed in the coolair of the night at the open bar， two or three neatly dressed guests were having a pre-dinner drink. The hotel offers a very unique cocktail called \"Virgin Mary\". I fell in love with the modified version of of Bloody Mary immediately. The uniqueness of the cocktail lies not only in the use of local ingredients， but also in the pickled fish which enhances the flavor.

Ascending up to the restaurant， with the moon rising above the sea， the Mediterranean shows a completely different serenity at night.

The head chef of the hotel is a German who once worked in Shanghai， romantic just as the southern Italian. Waiters with a strong Italian accent served us. How pleasant it is to dine with the moon here.

阿瑪爾菲海岸以其在峭壁上建立起的漁村而聞名于世。每年夏天，有大量的明星攜眷來(lái)此度假。酒店房?jī)r(jià)不菲，卻仍一間難求。

The Amalfi Coast is famous for its fishing village built on the cliffs. Every summer， numerous stars bring their families to this resort. The hotel is expensive， but it is still hard to book a room.

一房難求

南部無(wú)遮攔的初升艷陽(yáng)和村中早起的雄雞喚起我們新的一天。推窗看海，遠(yuǎn)處海天一色，波光粼粼;近處的山坡葡萄園飄浮著晨霧，如同吳冠中的畫一般，朦朦朧朧。阿瑪爾菲海岸正從睡夢(mèng)中醒來(lái)。

阿瑪爾菲海岸以其在峭壁上建立起的漁村而聞名于世。每年夏天，有大量的明星攜眷來(lái)此度假。酒店房?jī)r(jià)不菲，卻仍一間難求。至今，當(dāng)?shù)厝巳匀槐３侄拘菔械牧?xí)俗，只在每年4月至10月旅游旺季開(kāi)市迎客。在酒店里，最常聽(tīng)到的除意大利語(yǔ)，更多的是或卷著舌頭的美語(yǔ)，或抑揚(yáng)頓挫的倫敦腔，也有少部分德語(yǔ)。日本客人是入住酒店的唯一亞洲面孔。歐洲的主要城市已開(kāi)通直達(dá)拿坡里的航班，入住變得更加便利。高端客人可選擇從拿坡里機(jī)場(chǎng)乘坐直升飛機(jī)，以避免蜿蜒山路的勞頓。停機(jī)坪就在酒店下方半島的網(wǎng)球場(chǎng)內(nèi)，這個(gè)半島曾屬于意大利女星索菲亞·羅蘭和她的丈夫卡洛·龐帝，目前無(wú)人居住。

The sun rose over the barely covered southern village and the rooster woke us up. Opening the window we saw the sea and the sky blending together. Morning mist floated above the vineyard on the hillside， just like a painting. And the Amalfi Coast was also just waking up from a dream.

The Amalfi Coast is famous for its fishing village built on the cliffs. Every summer， numerous stars bring their families to this resort. The hotel is expensive， but it is still hard to book a room. Locals close their businesses in winter， only keeping their doors open in the tourist season from April to October. In the hotel， in addition to Italian， you can also hear American English， Cockney and German. The Japanese are the only Asian faces in the hotel. Europe's major cities have opened direct flights to Naples， making it more convenient to stay in the hotel. Guests can choose to come from the Naples airport by helicopter to avoid the winding mountain road. The peninsula that parks the helicopters once belonged to Sophia Laurent and her husband Carlos Ponti and it is currently uninhabited now.

讓廢棄或失修的老建筑重新煥發(fā)新的生命，如同阿瑪爾菲海岸當(dāng)?shù)厥来欧畹幕浇塘x，是一個(gè)重生復(fù)活的過(guò)程。在這涅槃重生的12年中，不僅需要一個(gè)有愿景的投資者，一個(gè)追求細(xì)節(jié)和品質(zhì)的建筑師，和對(duì)市場(chǎng)有獨(dú)到見(jiàn)解的運(yùn)營(yíng)團(tuán)隊(duì)，更需要有足夠的信心和耐得住寂寞的勇氣。

Like the Christian doctrine believed by the local people around the Amalfi Coast， bringing new life to the abandoned or dilapidated old building seems to be a process of Resurrection. During the 12 years， you need a visionary investor， an architect pursuing detail and quality， and a marketing team with unique insights into the market， adequate confidence and courage to fight loneliness.
