The beautiful hill town of Ravello

  1. The delicious Mediterranean cuisine served in the "Il Flauto di Pan" restaurant.
  2. A vacation on the Amalfo Coast, in the elected retreat of the Bloomsbury group.
  3. Villa Cimbrone's gardens: the most beautiful in Ravello, if not the world.

Ravello, the tiny, cliff top town dominating the Amalfi Coast and the sea, provides the spectacular location for Villa Cimbrone, a meticulously restored 12th century residence, now one of the finest 5 star hotels in the whole of the Mediterranean.

For centuries, Villa Cimbrone has been the chosen retreat of some of the world's greatest artists, aristocrats, statesmen and scientists: all of whom attracted by the beauty of its location, and the impeccable hospitality reserved to all those lucky enough to reside here. D.H. Lawrence, Greta Garbo, Sir Winston Churchill, John Maynard Keynes, Leopold Stokoswky: the names of just a few of those to have graced Villa Cimbrone's rooms with their presence. In the early 20th century, the Bloomsbury Group adopted the villa and its gardens as the inspirational setting for a number of their elite gatherings.

In Hotel Villa Cimbrone's sumptuous bedrooms and suites, classic furnishings and exquisite Vietri floor tiles effortlessly combine with LCD televisions and high speed internet connectivity to ensure the perfect balance of old world glamour and contemporary comfort. Ideal honeymoon accommodation, the hotel's wonderfully romantic "Iris" and "Camelia" suites have high, vaulted ceilings and enchanting sea view terraces.

The realm of the brilliant young chef, Luigi Tramontano, Villa Cimbrone's "Il Flauto di Pan" restaurant serves gourmet Mediterranean cuisine with a creative twist. Dishes are prepared using the organic ingredients grown in the kitchen gardens and are accompanied by an excellent selection of Italian and international wines.

The fabulous swimming pool with hydromassage corner is by no means the only attraction in the Hotel's extensive grounds. Indeed, guests might easily spend hours strolling through Villa Cimbrone's gardens, designed by the famous English landscape designer, Vita Sackville-West, visiting Eve's Grotto; the Temple of Bacchus; the Seat of Mercury; the Crypt; and the statue of Ceres, before reaching the Terrace of Infinity and one of the most spectacular views imaginable.

Wedding of the century

Incredible venue with extremely efficient staff We were there for a wedding which went perfectly except for a couple of things which considering the size of the celebration can be forgiven Cooking for 100 people can be difficult and I definitely dropped the ball here Extremely expensive, so come prepared but you really have to pay for the privilege of being in such an incredible place Structures like this on clifftops with many staff don’t come cheap If you want to have the most spectacular wedding on earth then have it here Just be prepared for the bottom line Although it’s expensive, I’d say worth every cent

Villa Cimbrone was exceptional! The hotel was gorgeous with amazing views to be had around every corner. The staff was very attentive and worked to anticipate all our needs. I would highly recommend a stay at Villa Cimbrone.

What views! Everywhere you look is another of the most beautiful views you’ve ever seen. At breakfast position yourself towards the coast or the gardens or even the beautiful old building and it’s breathtaking. Breakfast itself is a buffet and lovely. Staff very attentive (although the music is a bit special). The deluxe room was smallish and traditional but with a fabulous view worth the upgrade. Staff generally very helpful and friendly Lovely pool although the iron day beds get very very hot and you have to be careful to lie in a straight line and not be too tall lest you sear your skin. However, there seems to be a large wedding on every day, which closes parts of the gardens and even the infinity terrace, and the disco goes on late into the night with little consideration for those trying to sleep There was a small issue with the laundry not being taken away and the shower gel not replaced when empty. The flex on the lamp had exposed wires. However, a lovely stay and quite the best location (a sweaty walk to get there but your luggage is taken care of in the buggies, so it’s not too bad really)

Wat een teleurstelling…

Slecht aangegeven kwa hoe je de lokatie kan bereiken, parkeren was een ramp, vervolgens via een stijle pad omhoog geklommen,( achteraf bleek dat die pad was gevaarlijk ook nog met gevaar van vallende stenen langs de muur. Toen we eindelijk aankwamen restaurant bovenop zag best vervallen uit. Oude vieze stoelen en personeel niet adequaat voor 5 sterren lokatie. Eten was erg slecht en wijn werd een kwart glas geschonken voor 22e !!!?? Toen ik aangaf dat het eten niet zo goed was werden we raar aangekeken en volledig genegeerd. Niet de paar uur reizen waard!!
