Address
Via Santa Chiara, 26 - Ravello

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.

Great views, horrible service.

Views were great and gardens were lovely, but outside of this the hotel was not great. When we arrived we had to walk up about 15 minutes of stairs to reach the actual hotel entrance. The rooms had AC but were too small to unpack. The staff were not very welcoming and acted almost as if they did not want us there. While using the facilities we felt very rushed, especially when using the pool. The staff at the pool was constantly cleaning up to close down the place even during the hours of operation which felt as if they wanted us to leave and like we were an imposition. They also asked for our room number repeatedly in scenarios in which it was entirely unnecessary, making it seem even less like they wanted us there, and more like they didn’t believe we were guests. Finally, when it was time to leave we had kindly asked the workers at the front desk to have the porter service assist us with our bags. We even had a family member go down to confirm this request 45 minutes prior to our departure. Despite all this, the porter never showed up so we dealt with our baggage by ourselves. He finally showed up 15 minutes later resulting in a late departure. We recomend to visit the gardens, but not to stay overnight.

Peaceful and refreshing escape on top of a mountain!

This is one of my favourite hotels in the world. Sitting on top of a mountain, with stunning views of both the sea and other mountains for miles on end. Pictures don't do it justice, it has to be seen with your own eyes to be truly appreciated. Just be prepared for a short 10 minute hike with stairs to reach the hotel, since there are no direct roads accessible, but your luggage will be taken care of by the hotel porters. The walk to the hotel is a refreshing experience itself, giving you a taste of the Ravello mountain life! The staff were all polite and professional, catering to our every need. We went for our wedding anniversary, and the staff accommodated us at every moment, even opening up their helipad for our pickup during departure. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful escape far away from noise and people!

Genuinità e raffinatezza: cena nell’orto di villa Cimbrone. Il buono si accoppia al bello

Jul 29, 2025
Sono tornato a villa Cimbrone rientrando da un viaggio di lavoro, per trovare il relax che ho già condiviso in mie precedenti recensioni. A volte tornare in un posto che ci ha affascinato può rivelarsi una delusione perché spesso la memoria colora e abbellisce i ricordi. Non è stato così, anzi. Ho trovato la stessa cordialità, una stanza rivolta ad aurore stupefacenti, una piscina tranquilla e rilassante. Per non parlare del piacere di trascorrere ore da soli in uno dei giardini più belli del mondo. Ma questa volta vorrei segnalare una piacevole iniziativa. La cena servita in un orto ricco di verdure e legumi che vengono preparati sul momento per quello che definirei il pasto più genuino che si possa immaginare. Ovviamente dedicato a chi come me apprezza le specialità vegetali. Un’esperienza che consiglio fortemente

A sensory journey through taste, history and landscape

The experience begins the moment you enter the enchanting medieval building, rich in Norman architectural charm. The atmosphere is steeped in history and elegance, setting the tone for a truly special evening. The staff welcomed us with warmth and professionalism, making us feel immediately at ease We began our evening indoors, surrounded by timeless beauty, and later moved to a table on the terrace. We had the ‘orti e lampare’ menu’ a perfect blend of elegance and flavor, with a clear tribute to local ingredients and the sea. Every dish was beautifully presented and delicious. We enjoyed a sensory journey through taste, history, and landscape. A must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable culinary experience in Ravello.
