this 12th-century palace has been one of Europe’s top hotels, in various forms, since the 1880s, its most recent renovation leaves it looking beautifully ageless
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Perched one thousand feet above the Tyrrhenian Sea, Ravello offers medieval pathways, clifftop gardens, and an escape from crowded coastal ports.
The rooms
Hand-painted Vietri ceramic tiles, period antiques, and arched alcoves frame Mediterranean views, while top suites open onto private sea-facing terraces.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated 20-meter pool stretches across tiered garden terraces, looking straight out over the Amalfi coast.
The spa
A hydrotherapy pool sits beneath vaulted ceilings, and twin hydromassage tubs look out from the rooftop solarium.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Candlelit tables at Michelin-starred Rossellinis look out over the sea, and cocktails are shaken under a wisteria pergola.
the rooms are spacious, the best ones coming with views across the bay or balconies big enough to dine al fresco.
How it began
Built as a twelfth-century noble residence, the palazzo was restored by the Avino family, transforming its 1756 chapel into the entrance lobby.
