Hotel Villa Cimbrone Ravello

Hotel Villa Cimbrone enjoys a stunning location on the Amalfi Coast, in the hilltop town of Ravello. A pleasant 10 minute stroll from the town center, the hotel is surrounded by charming gardens from where to enjoy some of the most breathtaking views of the sea.

Villa Cimbrone dates back to the 12th century, when it was built as elegant abode for the local aristocracy, on a site previously occupied by an ancient Roman residence. In 1904, Lord Grinthorpe Ernst William Beckett acquired the building and grounds. This eminent connoisseur of antique and modern art, closely linked with the Bloomsbury Group, undertook the extensive restoration work which led to the villa's transformation in the preferred hideaway of such illustrious personages as Lytton Strachey, E.M. Forster, D.H. Lawrence, John Maynard Keynes, Piaget, Sir Winston Churchill, and the Duke of Kent.

The beautifully decorated rooms of Hotel Villa Cimbrone still contain original features such as floors paved in majolica tiles, stone fireplaces, and frescoed ceilings, all of which combine harmoniously with the very latest in modern comfort and technology.

Guests dining in Villa Cimbrone's elegant restaurant are treated to the finest Mediterranean cuisine, much of which prepared using the fruit and vegetables grown in the hotel's kitchen gardens. Its excellent cuisine, faultless service, and dreamlike location, make Hotel Villa Cimbrone an exclusive venue for high profile social events and weddings.
