"When it comes to exceptional hotels on Italy’s famed Amalfi Coast, there’s stiff competition, but Palazzo Avino stands out—not just on the coast but also in all of Italy. (The hotel made Afar’s 2024 Hotels We Love list of the 15 best retreats in the country.)" - Laura Itzkowitz
"Set high on a cliff, Palazzo Avino offers the best of both sides of the Amalfi Coast: the peace and quiet of Ravello, its bird’s-eye views of the coast, and access to the sea, thanks to the hotel’s chic beach club." - Erica Firpo, Laura Itzkowitz
"Palazzo Avino, run by Attilia and Mariella Avino, is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World on the Amalfi Coast. It is a popular choice with bookings already being made for 2025." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"In any other setting, it would be impossible to miss the lashings of marble, vaulted hallways, and antique busts, yet all eyes point in one direction: to the horizon. Palazzo Avino, first built as a private home in the 12th century, has a fairy-tale vista across the Monte Avvocata valley and the yacht-speckled Bay of Salerno. Known as the “pink palace of Ravello,” it is run by sisters Mariella and Attilia Avino, who have infused the place with buckets of personality and style—right down to the hand-painted tableware designed by Mariella and the Mar-a-viglia white wine from their vineyard, La Cascinetta, served at the glam Lobster & Martini Bar. The decor is Poseidon’s palace by way of Moda Operandi, with pink shell tiles, glossy sea foam blue bathrooms, and chic scalloped headboards. Palazzo Avino doesn’t do straight lines: Doorways are arched, ceilings domed, mirrors wavy, all mimicking the raggedly vertiginous coastline. Baroque terraces bursting with bubblegum-pink dipladenias lead down to the pool, where candy-striped parasols shade Dolce sliders, and homemade Sorrento lemonade arrives in colorful Marino glassware. The hotel’s beach club, 20 minutes away, is a sprawling cliffside hangout, taken over by Valentino in 2023, complete with red loungers and retro changing booths. The main restaurant, Michelin-starred Rossellini’s, is one of the most spectacular dining rooms on the Amalfi Coast, where waistcoated waiters serve plates of lemon ravioli by candlelight, and all is well with the world. —Charlotte Davey" - Jamie Spain
