Palazzo Avino
Our verdict

A clifftop pink palace in Ravello with sea facing terraces and a Michelin dining room, an intimate luxury hotel that hosts a refined wedding for a modest party.

Palazzo Avino is a twelfth century villa turned five star hotel, painted a soft rose and perched high above the Amalfi Coast at Ravello. The draw is the run of terraces and gardens looking down the cliff to the sea, the celebrated Rossellinis restaurant and the warmth of a family run house. It is intimate by nature, which is the point and also the limit.

It carries a polished celebration of up to roughly eighty guests rather than a grand party, and Ravello sits high above the coast road, so the arrival and the logistics reward a planner who has done it before.

The quick answer

Palazzo Avino is a clifftop five star hotel in Ravello on the Amalfi Coast, a rose pink twelfth century villa with sea facing terraces and a Michelin starred restaurant. It hosts intimate weddings of up to roughly 75 to 80 guests across its terraces and gardens, with larger celebrations possible through a multi day hotel buyout. It suits a refined, design led party rather than a vast one. Confirm capacity, the buyout terms and the current minimum spend directly with the hotel.

The venue in detail

A rose pink palace above the sea.

Style and setting

Palazzo Avino occupies a twelfth century villa high in Ravello, restored into a refined five star hotel and painted the soft rose that gives it its nickname, the pink palace. Its terraces and gardens step down toward the cliff edge with an open view over the Amalfi Coast and the sea far below, and the Rossellinis restaurant holds a Michelin star. The mood is elegant and personal, a family run house rather than a corporate resort.

Capacity

The hotel hosts intimate weddings of up to roughly 75 to 80 guests across its terraces and gardens, with the ceremony terraces taking smaller numbers and the larger terrace available from the early evening. A multi day hotel buyout opens the door to a slightly larger or longer celebration. Confirm the seated figure for your chosen layout with the hotel.

Staying on site

The hotel's rooms and suites house the wedding party, while the wider group takes the other hotels of Ravello, a small and walkable town. Because Ravello sits high above the coast, keeping guests in the town avoids a late drive up the cliff road after the party. A buyout secures the whole house for a wedding weekend.

What it costs

Pricing is on application and set as a minimum spend that varies by season, guest count and whether you take a partial hire or a full buyout. As an indicative August 2025 guide, a clifftop Ravello wedding of this calibre commonly runs well into six figures all in once catering, drinks, accommodation and styling are included. Treat every figure as indicative and confirm directly with the hotel.

Logistics, told straight
Getting there
Naples airport is around an hour and a half to two hours by road, then a climb up to Ravello. Ravello sits high above the coast, so plan transfers and factor in the narrow approach for guests and for the transport of supplies.
The terrace timing
The larger terrace usually opens to private use in the early evening, so the schedule is built around a golden hour ceremony and a dinner as the light falls over the sea. A planner will set the timings to make the most of the view.
Where guests stay
The hotel sleeps the inner circle and the rest of the party takes other Ravello hotels within a short walk. Block book early, as Ravello is small and busy in summer, and keep guests in town to avoid a late cliff road transfer.
The legal bit
A legal civil marriage is possible in Italy with the right documents, and Ravello's own town hall is a celebrated ceremony spot. Many couples handle the legal step at home and hold a symbolic ceremony on the terrace. A local planner guides the paperwork.
