Ravello, Amalfi Coast, Italy
7 Nights & Flights from £3480 per person
Palazzo Avino, a historic gem perched on the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast since the 12th century, has a rich and fascinating past witnessing the passage of time and the evolution of its surroundings with grace and elegance.
Originally changing hands between prosperous Italian families, it was abandoned in 1978 until Giuseppe undertook a remarkable restoration project nearly two decades later. Renamed Palazzo Avino in 2013 to honour his family, the palace is now under the stewardship of Mariella and Attilia, who grew up within its walls.
The interior of Palazzo Avino exudes a bygone era of glamour, with opulent marble, fine fabrics, and antique furnishings showcasing a commitment to luxury. The grand vaulted hallways and intricately tiled floors further enhance the sense of opulence. Many original features and rooms have been preserved, such as the 18th-century chapel now serving as the hotel lobby and the former library transformed into a guest room.
At Palazzo Avino, guests are invited to embrace la dolce vita, whether savouring Michelin-starred cuisine at Rossellini's restaurant, indulging in the decadence of the Lobster & Martini Bar, or relaxing at the exclusive beach club - a unique offering in Ravello.
The hotel's location, known locally as the Pink Palace, sits majestically a thousand feet above the Mediterranean in the serene village of Ravello. The breathtaking coastal views can be enjoyed from every angle, be it from your room, terrace, or the pool, inviting guests to immerse themselves in a fairytale-like setting.
Palazzo Avino truly offers a slice of 'la dolce vita', where history, luxury, and natural beauty converge to create an unforgettable experience for those seeking a taste of refined living on the Amalfi Coast
