The overall ambiance of the property can't be beat. We held our daughter's wedding there, and it was a dream come true. Staff are extremely pleasant and accomodating. Facilities top notch. The only negative is they charge a fee to get baggage to/from the drop off point to the hotel, which is about a 10 minute walk. For the nightly cost of the accomodation, I believe this shoud be included.

The Villa itself is amazing, the location and grounds are spectacularly scenic. Staff and service exceptional in hotel and pool area. Rooms are a bit old but with nice sea view, however they have recently put up many tents below, roofs and construction that take away the attractiveness. Restaurant (Il Flauto Di Pan) service very good, but the quality of the food was not good. Ravioli soup was regular but rack of lamb was very very bad, flavorless and chewy. Dining terrace has no view and breakfast area is very small and unattractive. Breakfast food was poor. When considering cost-benefit, it is expensive.

We had such a lovely stay in the Villa Cimbrone. I visited the hotel for the first time 15 years ago and always wanted to return. I had emailed the hotel a few times before the arrival and received an immediate answer to my questions. Everything was perfect from the friendly welcome from the professional reception staff. Our room was perfect and we enjoyed the double aspect. We had a memorable Gala Dinner with a perfect atmosphere. We appreciated the attention to detail, as during the dinner there were many speeches in Italian, but someone came to translate to us. The five-course dinner was delicious with matching wines. My Prosecco or the wine glass was never empty - Amazing. The next morning was my birthday and at breakfast, they gave me a small cake and the waiters even sang. All this and the magnificent views from the breakfast table made me so happy. Dinner of course in the Michelin star restaurant was also unforgettable. Thank you to all staff. Sabrina we will return so keep sending me the reminders of your special offers.

The staff were ever so attentive, friendly and greeted us with a beautiful smile The morning breakfast staff were a delight to see each morning genuinely wanting to please . The best cocktails, a must try is the Greta Garbo cocktail! The reception staff Serena, Judith amongst other staff members were so helpful and a delight to see each morning , always helpful with their suggestions in Ravello . This amazing villa should be experienced by many as it is a truly unique villa . Villa Cimbrone grounds in our opinion are the most breathtaking, with uninterrupted views we have ever seen . We will be back Thank you for a memorable stay Filitsa & George

The gardens are exquisite- worth the stay alone but in addition the staff could not be more accommodating at the property. Our room had both a view of the sea but also a view of a part of the gardens- what a treat! We were able to enjoy a beautiful sunrise and then go to the gardens to enjoy the lovely sunset. Perfect!

Close but not what I expect from a five star
Grounds are beautiful and most of our interactions with the staff were professional and accommodating with the exception of the restaurant. Getting a reservation as a paying guest was a chore in the gourmet restaurant but it was also made unbearable for even the poolside restaurant which we were told at check in was not a problem at all. To top it off I ordered a salad and another course which was intended to be my main course and the waiter either didn’t understand enough English to comprehend it or incompetently left it off our order. The end result was I had a completely unremarkable salad for dinner.

Do not accept a room on the third floor!
Service, amenities and restaurant are 5 star. However, our "Superior Room with Sea View" was a huge disappointment! Nothing like that shown on the hotel website. Our small room had a "view" of the 6' high wall on our balcony, nothing else. If you go out and peek over the wall, there was what should have been a beautiful view. This hotel has many beautiful rooms. This was not one of them! Do not accept a room on the third floor !!!

Amazing property in a picturesque town
Amazing hotel and location. We spend two nights at Villa Cimbrone and couldn't be happier. The staff was amazing. Franco greeted us and was very helpful throughout our stay. The staff was great and provided amazing service. The room was very clean and pretty, a little old, but expected of a villa built in the 11th century. We got a 'garden view' room, which meant it looked over the garden, but also the entire coastline south Ravello. The grounds were amazing and you could spend days just wandering the grounds and hanging by the pool. The included breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfasts we've ever had and a great start to the day. It's definitely a slight hike from the center of town, but it's a hike through gorgeous Ravello so very enjoyable and welcomed. Highly suggest staying here for your stay and just taking in the view(which is basically at every turn in Ravello and especially on the Cimbrone property).

We are counting down until we can visit again!
My husband and I eloped at Villa Cimbrone. We took a risk. We had never been to the hotel or known anyone who had been there. We had never even been to the Amalfi Coast. We saw the photos online and decided to reach out to them to see if they could arrange a wedding ceremony for us. It was the best decision we could have made. Our entire stay and wedding were perfect. First, the entire staff was incredibly friendly and helpful during our stay at the villa. The staff assisted us with laundry and steaming services, organized porters for our bags, helped us with directions to Positano, and more. Caterina and Donatella helped us with the details of the wedding day. We met Caterina in person and she was organized, friendly, kind and unbelievably helpful. We are so lucky to have had her assistance. Second, the gardens are unbelievable. The photos do not do justice to the views and how well kept the gardens are. You could stare out the hotel windows forever the view is that perfect. Third, the hotel itself is adorable. Comfortable bed. Very clean. Big bathroom, including shower (which is hard to find in Europe). The suite gave us plenty of room. A snack was waiting for us on arrival. The room had giant windows that opened up to a view of the coast. It was a great stay. Lastly, the restaurant was perfect. Awesome views. 10/10 on food. Breakfast, dinner and service were great. We highly recommend Villa Cimbrone! We are looking forward to returning as soon as we can!

One star with a great view!
The accessibility is awful. It is a 3/4 mike hike from their auto pick up zone. Dreadful unequal steps, poor lighting, and lightly travelled. Our view room required us to walk up three steps an peer over a 4’ wall to see the coast. The grout in the slippery tile was dirty. The elevator was slow and often did not land at the exit floor level. There is not a significant public space not requiring some step access. Much of the furniture in public area was roped off, either as a secon class antique or navy instable. My wife fell down five stairs and severely spraine her ankle. The did provide a mesuse to turn her over on her back and pronounce that she had hurt her ankle. It took 1 1/2 hours to bring her some cheep walking canes and a worn out 15 year old wheel chair( they did not charge us for either). We asked for assistance to get to the Ravello square to meet the brides parents and the said the charge would be $90 euros each way. We protested and they reduced the cost by alledgedly letting us deal directly with vendor and the cost dropped to E 60 euros each way except after 7:00 PM when the price increased to E80 euros. We asked to cancel the rest of our stay and relocate to a hotel with easy access and the offered us a $1000 US penalty cancellation for the four renting days. Our son who was having his wedding reception there at a great expense asked us not to because his wedding planner inferred that this may reduce the quality of service for his reception.

Fantastic place but no water in the bathroom
There was no water - hot or cold - on the morning we were leaving to fly home which was a very frustrating end to a great holiday. In general, the Villa is excellent. It is a unique place to stay, wonderful gardens, rooms, food and staff. It was our favourite place we stayed in during the week in Italy and I would highly recommend. That said, it was the most expensive and while it is an old building, if you are charging that amount then not having water in the bathroom is not good enough. On check out, we were presented with the bill and just a shrug of the shoulders on mention of there being no water.
