Relais Paradiso, Vietri sul Mare

What this property, opened in 2009, lacks in experience, it more than makes up for with exceptional amenities and surroundings. There are 22 spacious rooms, some overlooking the Bay of Salerno. For the most indulgent stay, book the Paradiso Suite, which has an outdoor whirlpool on its terrace and a rotating circular bed. Included in the room cost are transfers to the quaint village of Vietri sul Mare, a concierge ready to design a customized itinerary of activities and a hearty buffet breakfast. Rooms start at $705; 39-089/763-2301; ragostahotels.com.
