Palazzo Avino is a stunning five-star deluxe hotel on Italy’s famed Amalfi coast. Built in what was once a 12th century private villa for an Italian noble family and opened as a hotel in 1997, Palazzo Avino has been landed as one of the world’s finest hotels and boasts one-star Michelin dining.

Tucked away in the medieval hilltop village of Ravello, perched high on the cliffs, 350 m (1,000 ft) above the sparkling Mediterranean, Palazzo Avino overlooks some of the coast’s most picturesque fishing villages.

THE HISTORY
Originally built in the 12th Century, Palazzo Avino, like many other buildings along San Giovanni del Toro, was part of the aristocratic quarter of Ravello during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Some original rooms remain, such as the entrance hall and a small bathroom used as a cellar in the restaurant.

The building owes its name to the prosperous Sasso family from Scala, who were descendants of San Romoaldo, founder of the Cistercian order, and San Dominico Sasso, the successor to Saint Domenico who created the Dominican order.

The Sasso family settled in Ravello in about 1710 when Domenico Diego purchased the remains of the Palazzo Sasso from the noble Bonito family and subsequently restored it.

In 1756, his son, Andrea, built the chapel, dedicated to Maria Maddalena Penitente, which is now the lobby of the hotel. Andrea died in 1758 without an heir. The Palazzo was then abandoned until the beginning of the 19th century when it was purchased by the wealthy industrial Camera family.

In the mid-19th century, the first foreign visitors began to arrive, such as Francis Nevile Reid in 1851 and Richard Wagner. When James Becket bought and rebuilt Villa Cimbrone in 1904, Ravello attracted many prominent people, including Virginia Woolf, E.M. Forster, Maynard Keynes, D.H. Lawrence and Andre Gide.

The potential for tourism was not lost on the Camera family who, following the example of other local families, converted the Palazzo into a hotel.

In 1928 the Vuilleumier family assumed the management of the hotel. During the next half-century, Palazzo Sasso was known as Hotel Palumbo and its guests included Kings, Queens, aristocrats, poets and writers.

On the declaration of war against France (in 1939), the French-born Duchess Anna of Aosta (wife of the Viceroy of Ethiopia) was applauded by the people of Ravello when she appeared on a terrace above the Principessa di Piemonte Gardens.

The beauty of Palazzo Sasso has inspired many 20th century personalities; the playwright Eduardo de Filippo who wrote ‘Saturday, Sunday, Monday’ on one of its terraces and General Eisenhower was a resident when he was planning the attack on Monte Cassino.

Former celebrity guests Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini were fondly remembered as having giggled over dinner in the restaurant. This era was sadly interrupted in 1978, when the Vuilleumier family gave up the Palazzo in favour of the Palazzo Confalone. The Palazzo was closed and 19 years of abandonment followed.

Fully restored, it re-opened as Palazzo Sasso in July 1997 to continue its historic adventure. In 2013, Palazzo Sasso was renamed Palazzo Avino, finally bearing the name of its founding family.

The name change – the building of Palazzo Sasso and its transformation into Palazzo Avino, has every making of an Italian love story. There is passion, beauty and a dream. All played out along Italy’s stunning Amalfi Coast.

“I love the Palazzo,” Managing Director Mariella Avino says. “I love the location. I love the views. I love every single element. I love it because I grew up here. I know its past (my father’s commitment and effort to create the property), I know its fantastic present, and I’m excited to write its future with my sisters with all our passion, our heart and love.”

Among the various places of outstanding interest are: Villa Rufolo, Villa Cimbrone and the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta. Famous classical music concerts are held on a stage perched over the sea from July through October

AMALFI & POSITANO
Amalfi is a picturesque coastal town with a sunny climate and exceptional natural beauty. In the 12th century, Amalfi was one of the four great Italian maritime republics. Positano is regarded as the jewel of the Amalfi coast.

It’s a very coastal resort, It’s notable for its picturesque, precipitous townscape, built on steep mountain terraces and, in places, almost literally clinging to the rocks. It affords unparalleled views out porto the islands of Li Galli, which were famously inhabited by the legendary Sirens, and beyond to the Isle of Capri.

POMPEII & HERCULANEUM
This is the world famous Campanian town of imperial Roman times that was buried by a sudden, catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius on the 24th of August 79 AD. It has been extensively excavated over the last two centuries so that much of the original town has now been exposed.

The most fascinating aspect of Pompeii is that it offers a walk back into time, back 2000 years, recreating the daily life of ordinary Romans. Visitors can stroll along the lava-paved roads past rows of shops and private houses, public baths, market squares and temples.

Pompeii is indisputably one of the world’s most mesmerizing architectural and cultural treasures. Just at a few kilometres from Pompeii is the town of Ercolanu (Herculaneum), also buried in the volcanic cataclysm of 79 AD.

It’s smaller than Pompeii, but in some ways is better preserved and can be more easily taken in on a day visit. Driving time from Ravello: approximately 1 hour.

PAESTUM
This is an original landing ground and settlement of the ancient Greeks, founded around 600 BC Its name derives from Poseidon – God of the Sea, to whom the town was dedicated.

Paestum is set in a vast and varied landscape and offers an almost mystic or spiritual experience to visitors taking time to sit and meditate in a quiet corner of a temple to the Greek immortals, one of the most historic monuments in Southern Italy.

In the vicinity is the town of Velia and the provincial capital of Salerno, with a medieval cathedral, dating back to 1085, renowned for its great bronze door from Constantinople and a 12th century carved pulpit. Driving time from Ravello: approximately 2 hours.

CASERTA
The city is known as ‘The Versailles of Naples’ and is home to the Royal Palace built by the Bourbon-French Emperor, Charles III. The palace is one of the biggest neo-Classical buildings in Europe and its park setting is both immense and fascinating. Driving time from Ravello: approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.

NAPLES
Naples is the capital city of the region of Campania. It has been invaded and occupied over the centuries by a succession of alien nations and cultures, including the French, Germans and Turks.

But it was more the Spanish than the rest who have had the most significant influence on the City’s architecture, language, customs and way of life.

Naples has one of the most important archeological collections in the world housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale, a great treasure trove of ancient artefacts from Pompeii, Ercolano and other historical sites.

The modern city itself is full of great churches and other impressive buildings, notably the Gesu’ Nuovo Cathedral, the Royal Palace in Piazza Plebiscito, and the Capodimonte Gallery with its paintings by Renaissance masters such as Titian, Raphael and Van Dyke. Driving time approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.

CAPRI
The romantic Isle of Capri was once the unlikely centre of the ‘civilised’ world when Tiberius ruled the Roman Empire from his 12 palaces built on its towering heights looking over the sea towards the old Port of Naples.

The sublime beauty of the seascapes; its fabled ‘Blue Grotto’ and rocky shore of coves & beaches; its tangible atmosphere of 3,000 years of history & cosmopolitan cultures, and the traditional warm hospitality of the islanders have combined to draw an endless stream of visitors.

There is hardly a writer or artist of note over the last 200 years who has not been enchanted by the unique allure of Capri. Today, its ‘capital’ town, hardly more than a village, is somewhat like a stage set for an 18th century operetta – a painted pastiche of small, lively squares; boutique shops & pastel or white-washed houses, and a warren of mysterious Moorish alleyways no wider than a donkey cart loaded with the rough coral building blocks that over the centuries have fashioned a townscape of extraordinary artistry.

BOAT TRIPS
Enjoy a memorable day at sea with a private yacht charter! Qualified crew members will suggest the most enticing points so that you can enjoy an unforgettable swim followed by time spent soaking in the surrounding beauty while sipping your favourite drink.

Navigate the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean and discover hidden grottos (Emerald, White, Green & Blue), picturesque villages (Furore Fijord, Conca dei Marini, Praiano, Positano) and wonderful islands (Li Galli, Capri). Various options for full day excursions with a private speed boat and skipper are available.

CONCERTS
The Music Festival finds its starting point in Wagner’s visit to Ravello in 1880 and in the enthusiasm of the Maestro at the view of the Villa Rufolo gardens, from which he drew the inspiration for the scene paintings of the second act of Parsifal.

In fact he wrote in Villa Rufolo guest book “At last I found Klingsor’s enchanted garden”. The concerts at Villa Rufolo are from March to October. The highlight of the season is generally during the first week of July with the Wagner Festival.

During the festival world famous artists come to perform such as Zubin Metha, Lorin Maasel and Placido Domingo (Placido Domingo was the first guest Palazzo Avino had for the reopening in July 1997).

Although on the link of the official site for the Ravello Concert Society you will find a calendar of events, the famous performers of the Festival are generally announced very close to the concert dates so you may only find minor performances online.

The information for the July Festival should be available during March/April. The most unforgettable concerts are the ones at the crack of dawn with the sun rising behind the orchestra! The picture says it all. Classical orchestras and modern musicians concerts from April through October.

ART IN RAVELLO
Since 1953 this small town host each summer the Ravello Festival which have lured the world’s most talented musicians to the self-described “City of Music” Over the year Ravello hosted musicians and orchestra’s directors from all around the world.

Wagner found in Villa Rufolo both the inspiration for the scenery of Parsifal’s second act and the ideas to improve the whole musical structure of his last masterpiece.

Verdi stayed in Villa Rufolo as well, Grieg, during his staying at Hotel Toro, drew his inspiration from the woods and the caves of Ravello for some descriptions of his Peer Gynt; great musicians and conductors – like Bruno Walter, Arturo Toscanini, Enrico Caruso, Bernstein, Kempff and Rostropovitch – stayed and worked here.

Ravello has also had the opportunity to host artists such as the brilliant Spanish painter Mirò, the Dutch designer Escher, and, at the beginning of the XIX century, the English Turner painter of admirable views, and Ruskin, writer and art critic. For last Gore Vidal, American writer and public intellectual, was captured by the enchantment of Ravello and in 1972 bought a cliffside mansion “La Rondinaia” and spent there 25 years.

Furthermore the Amalfi Coast included in the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1997: “The Amalfi coast is an area of great physical beauty and natural diversity. It has been intensively settled by human communities since the early Middle Ages.

There are a number of towns such as Amalfi and Ravello with architectural and artistic works of great significance. The rural areas show the versatility of the inhabitants in adapting their use of the land to the diverse nature of the terrain, which ranges from terraced vineyards and orchards on the lower slopes to wide upland pastures”.

“The Committee decided to inscribe this site, considering that the Costiera Amalfitana is an outstanding example of a Mediterranean landscape, with exceptional cultural and natural scenic values resulting from its dramatic topography and historical evolution.”

Hotel Villa Cimbrone is one of the most prestigious hotels de charme in all Europe. The villa preserves the refined atmosphere envisioned by Lord Grimthorpe in the early 1900s, when he began the property’s refurbishment.

The villa’s halls are adorned with frescoed surfaces, important art and antiques. Each element of design is characterized by a distinctive style and exquisite chromatic nuances. A subtle elegance is woven beautifully throughout each of the 19 unique guestrooms. Restrained or baroque in design, all the rooms share an incomparable devotion to comfort and luxury

More recent restorations taken by the present owners the Vuilleumier family continue to respect and conserve Villa Cimbrone’s original architectural and design elements.

Throughout its history Villa Cimbrone has welcomed influential visitors from aristocracy and the intellectual communities, as well as inspiring many artists and making it a meeting place for English people on the Amalfi Coast.

Today, the Hotel continues to provide a haven for discerning travelers in search of elegance, inspiration, discretion and exceptional service. In the 1960s, from the third generation of hotelier, Marco Vuilleumier was hired as curator of the magnificent Villa Cimbrone, at the time residence of the Beckett heir of Lord Grimthorpe.

In the ‘90s, the job of guidance and development of the business was passed on to Marco’s sons and daughters. Today, the fifth generation is cooperating with their relatives in the hotel organization and management.

The vibrant atmosphere has been attraction and shelter of famous politicians, aristocrats, source of inspiration for many artists and meeting place for the literati of the Bloomsbury Group.

THE HISTORY
The first reliable mentions of Villa Cimbrone can be found on the 11th century, during Ravello’s golden era. The origins of its name come from the rocky outcrop on which it stands: this was part of a large estate with lush vegetation covering over eight hectares that was known as “Cimbronium”.

It initially belonged to the aristocratic Acconciajoco family. In the mid 1300s it passed into the hands of the powerful and wealthy Fuscos, a noble family from Ravello related to the Pitti family in Florence and the D’Angiò from Naples.

Thanks to the enthusiasm and dedication of the Vuilleumier family, now Villa Cimbrone has been restored to its former glory as a prestigious historical site and botanical garden.

This successful commitment to recovering, conserving and protecting one of the most important cultural heritage sites in Campania comes from an idea of Marco Vuilleumier, which has been pursued with great determination.

THE VUILLEUMIER FAMILY
The Vuilleumier family’s hospitality and warm welcome began in 1874 when Pasquale Palumbo – the head of the family on his mother’s side – was hired by Francis Nevil Reid, a man from Scotland who loved Ravello.

Twentythree years earlier the Reid family bought both the Villa Episcopio, which had been the Bishops’ Palace, and the Rufolo Palace. In 1874 Reid turned the Villa Episcopio into the first real hotel in Ravello and Pasquale Palumbo became the manager of this new “Pensione Trattoria Palumbo” and it became his home as well.

The middle class visitors who stayed in the Palumbo Hotel were for the most part British, travelers of the famous ‘Grand Tour’, attracted by the beauty and history of Ravello and the whole Amalfi Coast, amd were fascinated by the romantic atmosphere that surrounded them.

A few years earlier, in 1870, Pasquale Palumbo started the first commercial production of wines, called the ‘Cantina (Winery) Episcopio’ named for the grape vines located in the garden of the Episcopio and in the vines next to Ravello’s Cathedral.

Pasquale Palumbo married a Scottish woman who had come to Ravello with the Reid family. They gave birth to a child named Jessica but unfortunately, her mother passed away.

Pasquale remarried, this time a German woman named Elisabeth Von Wartburg. Her eclectic character, her talent for organization and her warm hospitality helped Pasquale continue and expand their professional hotel work.

Elisabeth was familiar with the famous German composer Richard Wagner and his family: she told them of the beauty of Ravello and Wagner went there in the month of May, in 1880. When he visited the Villa Rufolo, the Reid’s beautiful historic home, he discovered what would become the ‘magical Klingson Garden’ for his opera ‘Parsifal’.
