“A regal and romantic complex with out of this world views. The villa has beautifully manicured botanical gardens that sprawl towards the cliff face. Bedrooms ooze understated elegance, and there's a fantastic Michelin starred Mediterranean restaurant. Renowned as the ultimate wedding destination.”

Hotel review

The vibrant atmosphere, together with the breathtaking beauty of the place has attracted famous politicians and aristocrats and become an inspiration for many artists as well as a meeting place for English people on the Amalfi Coast including the infamous Bloomsbury group. Over the years, the Villa has hosted illustrious names from science and the arts, from Forster to DH Lawrence, Strachey to Keynes, Crick to Piaget, Elliot and Woolf. It has also hosted the Duke of Kent, Churchill and Hilary Clinton. Today it provides a unique setting for visitors seeking rest and relaxation or inspiration. Few can remain unmoved by its charm and magic. What was for centuries an aristocratic home has today become a refined luxury hotel. Ample spaces such as the magnificent garden and exclusive services such as the heliport combine to make the discerning guests' visit seamless and luxurious. The Villa houses nineteen rooms, including doubles, junior suites and suites. Satellite TV, high speed internet access and whirlpool baths integrate perfectly with antique furniture, frescoed walls, stone fireplaces, rare marble and original turn of the century majolica floor from Vietri.
