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.

Wonderful Atmospheric Hotel

We loved Villa Cimbrone overall. It is a bit of a walk from the centre of town up and down lots of steps so not great for those less fit but we loved it. There is no vehicular access except bu the tiny electric buggy which serve the town which is mostly pedestrianised. The hotel staff were so cheery and helpful. The location is romantic and sensational. The buildings are very atmospheric and the views stunning. The hotel is all you might expect from a very high end establishment with an excellent reputation. The service is superb and breakfast is a masterpiece. I find myself somewhat uncomfortable and embarrassed when the waiters insist on carrying my plate of toast or bowl of fruit up the half dozen steps between the buffet area and the dining terrace. This is a bit of added service, perhaps a bit too far, but it does really make you feel like royalty! The hotel is very expensive but is worth it for the way it makes you feel so special. If I had to highlight one issue which impacted negatively on our stay and drops the rating from five to four is is this. Ravello seems to have become the wedding capital of the world. People are getting married everywhere and Villa CImbrone is no exception. We were kept awake until midnight one night by an excessively loud live band. I mentioned this in the morning and received an apology but I do think some form of recompense would have been in order for this. It was not a good night's sleep. This aside Villa CImbrone is fabulous, with a price tag to match.

The place was clean, the service fine but this nowhere NEAR a five star hotel. The room was outdated and I could hear everyone in the halls until late at night. I arrived through the garden and was barked at until they realized I was trying to check in. It’s not an awful place but it is WAY overpriced for what you get.

Don’t order the risotto…

The view from the restaurant terrace is the main event here - it’s heavenly! The climb from the village center (where we were staying), helps work up a good appetite, but sadly the food didn’t live up to expectations. We started with the local tomato and mozzarella salad - cheese was delicious, but the tomatoes were under ripe and disappointing. They should be glorious in late summer, but they were hard and had little flavor. Maybe it’s been a rainy summer this year… one of us ordered the mixed seafood girl and that was very good, but I ordered the red prawn and fennel risotto. Ok, to be scrupulously fair, risotto is not at all a local dish - it’s much more a northern Italian dish - but this was so bland and boring, that even dousing it with EVOO and seasoning failed to liven it up. There was zero discernible flavor of fennel, and only about a teaspoon of shrimp atop the dull, but creamy rice. Still,the cocktails were excellent, ditto the crisp local Ravello white wine, and service was also very good. Although the food was disappointing, we still really enjoyed our lunch - life is good with a gorgeous view and good wine!
