Hotel Villa Cimbrone

Incredible venue with extremely efficient staff We were there for a wedding which went perfectly except for a couple of things which considering the size of the celebration can be forgiven Cooking for 100 people can be difficult and I definitely dropped the ball here Extremely expensive, so come prepared but you really have to pay for the privilege of being in such an incredible place Structures like this on clifftops with many staff don’t come cheap If you want to have the most spectacular wedding on earth then have it here Just be prepared for the bottom line Although it’s expensive, I’d say worth every cent

Villa Cimbrone was exceptional! The hotel was gorgeous with amazing views to be had around every corner. The staff was very attentive and worked to anticipate all our needs. I would highly recommend a stay at Villa Cimbrone.

Everything before our arrival, from making the reservation to liaison over arrival and transfer of bags to the hotel was exceptionally professional and made to seem very easy. The hotel is about a 10 to 15 minute walk from the start of the pedestrianised historical centre of Ravello so you meet the hotel’s porter there who arranges transfer of your bags and provides you with a map of the walking route to get there. Of itself this was an enjoyable experience. Check in is straightforward and we were provided with a choice of welcome drink. As expected, due to the time of our arrival, our room wasn’t ready but it didn’t take long and bags were waiting for us in the room. Room facilities were very good, as you’d expect. The only negative was that there is no ability to make yourself a cup of coffee (or tea) which seems increasingly unusual in today’s world. Staff were super helpful and organised a restaurant booking for us in Ravello and then an onward car transfer on our departure. There is a beautiful bar area, with garden, that affords sea views. Also the house is in a beautiful public garden which opens at 09:00 but as residents you can explore this in the peace and quiet before opening. Whilst the gardens are open to the public we had no disturbance to our stay from that dynamic. There is a small, but well equipped, gym which is to the side of a lovely pool area. The pool area has a bar service during the day. The hotel is home to a Michelin starred restaurant. That is reviewed separately. I would note that this hotel seems to be particularly popular with American visitors and also acts as a wedding venue.
