Heritage lives in the hands that make it

At Hotel Amalfi, every room carries a hand-painted fresco and the entrance is set with mosaic work. Heritage here is expressed through the hands that make the place. These workshops continue the idea: you spend a few hours making something yourself, guided by Roman artisans, artists and cooks. It is a personal way to live the city, in the spirit of the hotel.
