Overview
First opened as a hotel in 1875, Hotel Palumbo in fact began life as a medieval palazzo. Hotel Palumbo stands in one of Ravello's most enchanting spots, 350 metres above sea level and offers a breath-taking view of the Amalfi Coast. The architecture of the building is in itself a mosaic of time. The design of the exterior has been kept as close as possible to the original. The five different levels of the building do not correspond to modern-day stories, since the original structure was essentially vertical, but irregular. Additional wings and a tower-like extra storey contribute to the maze of unpredictable openings, corners and corridors.

The hall has kept the original nature of court it once had: the ogival arches are of Moorish influence; precious ancient Greek and Roman marble columns from Paestum and the Amalfi Coast; multicolour ceramic floors made of tiles with geometric and floral patterns, Pasquale Vuilleumier and John Huston designed them in 1952 while “The African Queen” was being filmed at the hotel; stairs climb to the upper levels in a feast of ornaments and elaborate motifs which act as frames to the rooms and other areas of the hotel.

Ravello will seduce you with its quiet charms and villas that date back to the 11th century. And just a few miles down the road, the picturesque seaside town of Amalfi beckons.
