The Best Hotels in Ravello

The infinity pool hangs over the Amalfi Coast like it's auditioning for a postcard, which is probably why guests keep missing dinner. This Belmond hotel occupies a medieval hilltop palazzo in Ravello, all stone lions at the entrance and frescoed ceilings within, and holds a Forbes Five Star. Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone are minutes away, but the landscaped gardens and that view make leaving feel like a logistical problem worth postponing.

A soft pink palazzo perched above the Amalfi Coast, its gardens tumbling down the mountainside toward the sea. This mountaintop hotel has been around forever, a proper old-school Ravello institution with clifftop views that make it hard to check out on time. The Avino family runs it with the kind of attention you notice. Guests arrive for the scenery and stay for the particular stillness that comes with being very high up and very far from anything ordinary.
