Perched high on the dramatic cliffs of the medieval hilltop village of Ravello, 1,000 feet (350 meters) above the sapphire waters of the Mediterranean Sea, Palazzo Avino—internationally celebrated as "The Pink Palace"—is hailed as one of the world's finest boutique cliffside sanctuaries. Originally built in the 12th century as a private fortified villa for the noble Italian Sasso family, this historic estate was meticulously restored by the Avino family into a five-star deluxe hotel where medieval grandeur meets timeless Italian romance.
The hotel comprises 43 individually decorated rooms and suites, each paved with hand-painted ceramic Vietri majolica tiles, furnished with 17th- to 19th-century antiques, and fitted with Italian marble bathrooms complete with hydromassage whirlpool baths. Expansive private terraces and French balconies frame cinematic vistas over the Amalfi Coast, terraced olive groves, and the shimmering Gulf of Salerno.
Guests savor Michelin-starred gastronomy on the romantic terrace at Ristorante Rossellinis, sunset aperitivi at the iconic Lobster & Martini Bar (featuring over 100 bespoke martinis), and light alfresco fare at Terrazza Belvedere. For seaside relaxation, the hotel's complimentary private shuttle whisks guests down to Clubhouse by the Sea in nearby Marmorata, an exclusive seaside beach club with waterfront swimming pool, sun loungers, and direct sea access.
