Palazzo Pascal, a small family run hotel in Scala’s Minuta district, is a restored 11th century residence offering a more private, residential style stay above the Amalfi Coast.

The hotel is set within the original structure of the villa, with rooms split between the main building and adjacent spaces, and a series of terraces and gardens positioned to face the coastline. The scale is intentionally limited, and most of the experience is centred around the main terrace, restaurant and pool, rather than multiple separate areas.

What defines it is the setting above the coast rather than on it, with open views across the valley and out towards the sea, and a quieter atmosphere shaped by its position away from the main towns. The layout reflects this, with fewer shared spaces and more emphasis on privacy and smaller, contained areas.

Staying

The suites and rooms vary in layout, with some set within the main building and others in separate sections, giving a more residential feel than a standard hotel setup. Many include terraces or outdoor space, which become the main extension of the room.

Interiors lean into traditional detailing, with handcrafted furniture and softer tones, keeping the focus on comfort and character rather than a uniform design approach. Larger suites introduce more defined living space and better positioned terraces.

The hotel has one main restaurant and one bar. Ristorante Gli Ulivi serves Mediterranean dishes using local ingredients, with tables set on a terrace facing the coastline.

The Lounge Bar Pascal sits within the main building and provides a more enclosed space for drinks, balancing the open terrace with a quieter indoor setting.

Experience

The pool is positioned on a terrace overlooking the coast, with surrounding garden areas and seating providing additional space beyond the main poolside.

The setting encourages a slower pace, with most of the stay centred around the hotel itself, while nearby Ravello and Amalfi remain within easy reach by car.

Wellness

The wellness offering is limited to treatments and outdoor relaxation spaces rather than a full spa facility.

The focus remains on the setting, views and overall atmosphere rather than dedicated wellness infrastructure.

Where

The hotel is located in Minuta, part of Scala, around 500 metres from the village centre, with Ravello approximately 3 km away and Amalfi around 8 km by road.
