Hotel Villa Cimbrone

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 is the land that towers above the Mediterranean, the favorite destination of intellectuals and great musicians, the exclusive retreat that is home to a noble residence like Villa Cimbrone. At this 5-star hotel, you can experience the atmosphere of a 12th-century historic home, without giving up the top-class services that define the finest hotels on the Amalfi Coast. The hotel is run by the Vuilleumier family, with a long-standing hotelier tradition, who for five generations have preserved its original architectural and decorative elements.

Since becoming a hotel, Villa Cimbrone has been a landmark for English high society, who chose the tranquility of the Amalfi Coast, and over the years it has hosted aristocrats, politicians and internationally renowned artists, as well as serving as a meeting place for the Bloomsbury Group's literary circle. Among the notable names are D.H. Lawrence, Greta Garbo, Sir Winston Churchill, John Maynard Keynes and Leopold Stokowski.

Rooms are divided into Classic, Superior and Deluxe categories, adorned with period furnishings, stone or majolica fireplaces, and floors in the late-19th century Vietri ceramic tradition, bearing witness to the timeless charm of this residence. They are equipped, however, with LCD televisions, internet access and all the comforts needed for a completely relaxing stay. The jewels of the hotel are the Studio Suite and its two most exclusive suites, dedicated to Ernest William Beckett and Greta Garbo, gems of Mediterranean elegance with frescoed vaulted ceilings, antique stone fireplaces and enchanting sea-view terraces.

If you can't resist the flavors of local cuisine, interpreted with a touch of imagination and prepared only with genuine ingredients, the restaurant "Il Flauto di Pan", featured in the Michelin Guide, is the place for you. Here you'll find traditional Amalfi Coast dishes made with produce from the garden, paired with regional, Italian and international wines from the cellar.

The graceful curves of the pool with a hydromassage area echo the harmony that defines the famous gardens of Villa Cimbrone. Spend whole afternoons admiring the Grotto of Eve, the Temple of Bacchus, the Belvedere of Mercury, the fascinating crypt, the statue of Ceres, and discover the truly breathtaking panorama from the Terrace of Infinity. Guests can also arrive by helicopter, thanks to a small private helipad.

Beautiful but with issues

So beautiful grounds but were closed for the afternoon because of a wedding. Nobody told us about this before and were followed around by a security guard making sure we did not go into gardens. Room was hot. Had to call front desk to lower AC. Curtains covered the AC vents and no shade on window. Beautiful setting but for $2000.00 a night, they should do better.

We took two rooms for 3 nights having driven in convoy with our daughter and her husband plus a dog from London. It is impossible to park at the hotel or even get near it with a car due to the terrain, but they make every effort to offer advice on secure parking. Everything was in place and the parking company delivered us to the spot where a charming valet collected our luggage and we walked up the quaint and perfumed alleyways to the hotel. What a beautiful, historic hotel set in stunning gardens. With only 19 rooms but a plethora of staff it was a perfect stay. Breakfast, poolside lunch, bar and dinner at Il Flauto di Pan were all perfect. Not over fussy and the flavours clean with wonderfully fresh ingredients. We will be back!

Disappointment

I was very disappointed, the only thing that takes your breath away is the terrace of infinity, where the sea, the sky, the earth are confused and the thought is confused. For everything else a simple garden, with plants a little abandoned. Very high price: 10 € per person x see only the spectacle of infinity. Bathrooms put on a cornerlike small sea cabins with catyivo smell. Place not usable to those with disabilities, or has difficulty walking. A real disappointment!!

Obviously you can get there on foot and climbing not a few steps, but it is a pleasant walk taking a look here and there shops or to enjoy something good if not to have lunch in one of the local restaurants. We only visited the garden with the heavenly view overlooking the sea, and even if October is not really the right time, you are still enchanted by so much beauty, being a garden the best time, for those arriving from afar, it is spring
