Hotel Feature: Palazzo Avino, Amalfi Coast, Italy

Palazzo Avino sits atop a hill in the gorgeous village of Ravello overlooking the Amalfi Coast. We love this property for honeymooners or girlfriends looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the busier cities along the coast. Originally a 12th Century villa, the property has been exquisitely refurbished to retain its medieval and baroque features. You feel like you’re staying at the private home of an Italian, as Mariella Avino and her mother Cinzia handpicked all the details from the tiles to the daily array of fresh flowers.

Palazzo Avino’s Clubhouse

Palazzo Avino’s Clubhouse by the Sea is located in the town of Marmorata, just a 15 minute drive from Ravello. There is complimentary access to the beach for all hotel guests, a small swimming pool, the casual Clubhouse Restaurant, changing rooms and relaxing living rooms. A complimentary shuttle service to and from the hotel is available starting from 9.30 am. The Clubhouse  opens from May 1 to October.

Palazzo Avino Dining Options

There are three distinctive restaurants with settings ranging from casual oceanfront to stylishly sophisticated Rossellini’s, a one-star Michelin gastronomic experience.

Rossellinis is open from May to October and only for dinner, so be sure to make a reservation. An experienced professional will help you chose from the a la carte items, or from a set tasting menu. It features hand-picked regional wines that can be carefully paired with each serving

Terrazza Belvedere serves an array of appetizing small bites and fresh pasta dishes. With a terrace perched over the property that offers magnificent views of the coastline, this is a casual dining favorite amongst guests. A new addition to Terrazza Belvedere is the Lobster & Martini Bar that opens at 6 pm. Be sure to catch the sunset from the Lobster & Martini Bar!

Caffé dell’Arte offers a relaxed atmosphere where guests can enjoy a digestive or aperitif with a delicious snack. Be sure to try one of their specialty cocktails made with rare liqueurs.
