| Location |
The heart Ravello - 100 meters from the historical center and within walking distance of the main cathedral and wedding hall yet secluded and private. |
| Our Rating |
Luxury 5 stars palace hotel. Small and unique. |
| Setting |
The palace is terrific for its position and structure. It's just in the heart of Ravello and has superb views and a wonderful park and garden overlooking the bay. |
| Interior |
Its architecture reveals strong Arab and oriental influences and is rich in valuable antiques - the atmosphere here is quite magical and of days gone by. Local terra-cotta tiles, some of which are very old decorate the floors. The halls and rooms are decorated by characteristic Moorish arches supported by marble columns, which belonged to Greek and Roman dwellings in the nearby Paestum and Amalfi areas. |
| Accommodations |
21 rooms and suites. Each of them are different in style and decorated with original antiques. The atmosphere reflects the local artistic heritage in its tiles and fabrics. Rooms have names instead of numbers, such as "La Moresca", "La Colombaia", La Torre. Each room has splendid views of the sea or the magical little town. |

Special Features
This wonderful luxury 5 star hotel is a palace dating back to the 12th century and used to be the home of a noble family. John Houston filmed one of his movies, here taking advantage of the incredible architecture. The atmosphere carries a touch of the orient with its Moorish architecture and deep toned colors of the fabrics. The Palace décor reflects the history of its past life. A piano where Wagner composed one of his works is still in the main hall as is a fine painting by Guido Reni. The frescoed dining room is a wonder and would be quite superb for a reception. The Palace is a place to linger in, relax by the pool overlooking the blue waters of the bay or visit the wonderful gardens of Villa Rufolo. An ideal location for a very exclusive reception.
