“Film star luxury meets 1930s Italian glamour in classical Ravello. Spectacularly perched on the cliffs overlooking fishing villages below. Michelin star restaurant, stunning suites, sprawling terraces and lounge areas. Five Star in every aspect. ”

Hotel review

One of the finest hotels in the world - we're not kidding - the Avino, formerly Palazzo Sasso, offers an unforgettable holiday experience with it's wonderful position and its two-star Michelin dining. Previously the Palazzo Avino was an Italian villa dating from the 12th century. Handmade Vietri tiles, furniture from XVIII and XIX centuries, beautiful carpets and Bulgari amenities emphasise the luxury you sign up for. Tucked away on this hill top, the clincher is a breathtaking view across the Med. Not for the financially squeamish.
