Why Stay?
With its enviable position above the Amalfi Coast and origins dating back to the 12th century, Palazzo Avino is a show-stopper of an hotel, with a star-studded guest list to prove it.
Nestled in the hilltop village of Ravello, perched high on the cliffs 350 metres above the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, Palazzo Avino abounds in ‘wow factor’, from the gothic-style windows, arches that open up to extraordinary blue vistas, skylights resembling pieces of art, a 20-metre heated outdoor pool set in the gardens, with sweeping sea and mountain views, to the contemporary artworks lining the walls. Rooms and suites are decorated with hand-made Vietri tiles, antique carpets and most furniture from the 19th century; while Frette linen, Bulgari amenities, and hi-tech gadgets complete the picture.
Superbly intimate and renowned for its attentive service, the Palazzo is also home to one Michelin-starred restaurant, Rossellinis, serving refined Italian haute cuisine with panoramic sea views, and the stylish bar is a perennial draw for the world's glitterati. And in the summer months, hotel guests get exclusive access to the Club House by the Sea, a private seaside villa set in the small town of Marmorata, just 15 minutes' from Ravello and reached by complimentary shuttle. With direct access to the water, a small swimming pool, lush gardens and beautiful terraces, it's all just perfect for lazy sunny days doing very little at all.
