Palazzo Avino
Aristocratic Italian palazzo meets eclectic art collector's home. Feminine, colorful, and unapologetically grand without feeling stuffy. Moorish arches, terrazzo floors, resident pianist, pink umbrellas by the pool.
Book Rossellinis the moment you confirm your stay — summer tables (especially July and August) fill fast and the hotel setting limits outside bookings
Why It Matters
One of the most photographed hotels on the Amalfi Coast. Conde Nast Traveler ranked it among the 50 Best Hotels in the World (2016) and named it Europe's best hotel in its Readers' Choice Awards. Rossellinis has held a Michelin star continuously and earned a Michelin Key in 2025. The building has hosted Wagner, Virginia Woolf, Eisenhower, Ingrid Bergman, and Roberto Rossellini — the restaurant is literally named for the latter.
Palazzo Avino sits 350 meters above sea level in Ravello's old aristocratic quarter, inside a 12th-century noble villa that the Avino family restored and reopened in 1997. Known locally as the Pink Palace, it's run today by sisters Mariella, Attilia, and Mariavittoria Avino, who've layered contemporary art and bold capsule-collection rooms over a foundation of handmade Vietri tiles, antique carpets, and 18th-century furnishings. The views — lush mountain ridges on one side, the shimmering Gulf of Salerno stretching toward Minori on the other — are the hotel's single most defining feature. Forty-three rooms and suites, a one-Michelin-star restaurant, and a private beach club 15 minutes down the hill round out the offer.
Where You'll Stay
17 room types available
Acquamarine Deluxe Room
Part of the special Capsule Collection (coral, aquamarine, sand themes). Sea-view room with large arched window and French balcony. Walk-in shower. A design-forward alternative to the standard Deluxe at the same size.
King · 20 sqmAcquamarine Junior Room — Mountain Side
Capsule Collection room facing the mountain or pedestrian street. King bed, combo bath and shower. Brings the Celestino design language to the mountain-facing category.
King · 28 sqmBelvedere Suite
Set in the hotel gardens with its own private hydro-pool on the terrace. Inspired by the wonders of Italian gardens and Tyrrhenian Sea legends — think marine hues, soft alcoves, and wunderkammer-style details mixing classicism with orientalism. Large living area, master bedroom, separate wardrobe.
King · 80 sqmCoral Deluxe Suite
Part of the special Capsule Collection designed by Cristina Celestino in 2020, inspired by Ravello's historic gardens and Tyrrhenian maritime legends. Rich textures, marine blues, and a large terrace overlooking the sea. Bath and walk-in shower.
King · 50 sqm
Deluxe Room with Sea View and Balcony
Larger of the two Deluxe room configurations. Private balcony overlooks the sea with a sitting area. Walk-in shower. Good value relative to suites if you want a genuine sea-view balcony room.
King or Twin · 35 sqmDeluxe Room with Sea View and French Balcony
Compact room with a large arched window and French balcony looking directly out to sea. Smallest sea-view room in the house at 20 sqm — the view is the whole point. Jacuzzi bath or shower.
King or Twin · 20 sqmDeluxe Suite
Classic grand suite style with a serious antique collection and a generous living area. Sea views on both frontal and partial angles, with a terrace for al fresco dining. Good option for those wanting traditional Palazzo Avino character without the premium of the tower or Belvedere.
King or Twin · 50 sqmImmenso Suite
Grand suite with three Juliet balconies looking out to sea. Traditional style, focused on natural light and uninterrupted views. No terrace, but the three balconies make the sea feel very present. Bath with shower combo.
King or Twin · 40 sqmInfinito Suite
A duplex in the palazzo's tower — the most dramatic room in the building. Ground floor has a dining area and guest bathroom; upstairs opens onto a vast private terrace with an infinity pool, outdoor dining, and uninterrupted Amalfi Coast views where sea and sky merge. It's genuinely one of a kind.
King · 100 sqmInternal Room
No external view — a high window provides natural light but that's it. Fine if you're simply looking for access to the hotel's shared spaces, dining, and pool at a lower price, but the room itself offers nothing beyond comfortable basics.
King or Twin · 20 sqmJunior Suite with Balcony and Sea View
Part of the Capsule Collection renovation. Spacious balcony creates a direct connection with the coastline. Focused on natural light and clean sea views. Walk-in shower only.
King · 35 sqmKing Room — Mountain Side
Entry-level room facing the mountain or pedestrian street. At 16 sqm it is genuinely small — the hotel's lowest-cost access point to enjoy all shared spaces. Jacuzzi bath or shower.
King or Twin · 16 sqmOrizzonte Suite
The former library of the palazzo. Grand traditional style with a serious antique collection including a 16th-century dormouse and an original fireplace. Four full balconies face the sea — one is sized for al fresco dining. Biggest suite footprint for those who want library-quiet grandeur without the poolside bells.
King or Twin · 80 sqmQueen Room with Balcony
Partial sea view with a balcony. At 16 sqm it's tight, but the balcony and partial coast sightlines make it work. Jacuzzi bath or shower. A sensible entry-level option for guests focused on hotel experience over room size.
King or Twin · 16 sqmSand King Room with Balcony — Mountain Side
Capsule Collection room (sand theme) with a balcony facing the mountain and the charming pedestrian street. Walk-in shower. At 16 sqm it's compact, but the Celestino design makes the most of the space.
King · 16 sqmSuperior Junior Suite
Classically styled with fine antiques and a spacious living area. Opens to a Juliet balcony with sea views. Good entry point into suite-level comfort without the full terrace upgrade.
King or Twin · 45 sqmSuperior Room — Mountain Side
Mountain-facing room at 28 sqm — the largest non-sea-view room category. Faces either the mountains or the charming pedestrian street. Jacuzzi combo bath and shower. Good choice if you want more space and aren't fixated on the coast view.
