Palazzo Avino

A NEW INTERPRETATION OF LUXURY

Every morning, the guests of Palazzo Avino wake up in the magical atmosphere of a historical mansion perched on the idyllic rocky coastline of Ravello.

Palazzo Avino is no ordinary dwelling, where the natural enchantment of the location is enhanced by the warm and discreet welcome from the Avino family, who have been taking care of the hotel for twenty years.

In these noble walls, luxury discovers an original philosophy of hospitality, through an impeccable routine of gestures and attention to detail, constantly balanced between tradition and the contemporaneity.

It all started with a dream.

Giuseppe Avino had always dreamt of dedicating himself to the project of an elegant hotel, together with his wife and daughters. The occasion came in 1997, with the purchase of a noble 12th century villa, in a privileged corner of the Amalfi

Coast. This was the beginning of Palazzo Sasso, a hotel which, since its debut, for its position and service, respected the rules

of five-star charm and, in its atmosphere, evoked the spontaneous and sincere soul of a family with a natural vocation for beauty. Like a private residence, the property has been constantly looked after and improved, reaching the supreme beauty of a hotel that is unique in the world. It was then rechristened with the name of the family that founded it: Palazzo Avino.

Today Giuseppe’s daughters, Mariella and Attilia, who are respectively Managing Director and Director of Sales and Marketing, carry on the family dream, faithful to the philosophy they inherited from their father. A recent and meticulous restoration has renovated the thirty-three double rooms and the ten suites, keeping the style of the Palazzo untouched. Each room welcomes guests with period furniture, prestigious upholstery and the windows that allow continuous dialogue with the blue horizon.

The large heated outdoor pool nestles in the marvel of the delightful Italian garden. Alongside, the Spa and the Gym offer moments dedicated to well-being and fitness, with a view of the Mediterranean. The Clubhouse by the sea, the elegant beach club exclusively reserved for clients, is within easy reach thanks to the hotel’s shuttle.

Several different and elegant choices are offered for eating. The Rossellinis offers the excellence of a Michelin-starred restaurant, the Caffè dell’Arte is ideal to enjoy aperitifs and relaxed dinners, pampered by the charming view and the melodies of the in-house pianist. The Terrazza Belvedere serves a sophisticated menu of hors d’oeuvres and pasta, on the veranda perched at the top of the craggy coastline. In the same location, the Lobster and the Martini Bar, from 6 p.m., offers local lobsters accompanied by the best champagnes and proseccos, and 100 different Martini cocktails mixed ad hoc by the hotel’s barman. The various menus feature the exceptional local produce, the absolute pride of the Campania countryside, starting from the renowned citrus fruit, which are also used in the beauty treatments in the Spa.

The hotel is enriched by a special collection of works by contemporary artists, offering a mixture of contemporary ideas and cultural inspirations, which make a stay in the Palazzo unique, and appealing. palazzoavino.com
