Villa Cimbrone
The most famous view on the Amalfi Coast, the Terrace of Infinity, set in gardens that hang between the sky and the sea high above Ravello.
Villa Cimbrone is a historic clifftop villa turned boutique hotel, its gardens crowned by the Terrace of Infinity, a stone balcony lined with marble busts that opens onto a sheer drop to the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is one of the most photographed places in Italy, and for good reason. As a wedding venue it is intimate and exclusive, a buyout of all nineteen rooms that gives your party the gardens and the famous view to themselves.
Two honest truths set expectations. This is a premium proposition, with full weddings for around a hundred guests indicatively starting near a quarter of a million euros once the buyout, catering and production are counted. And Ravello sits high above the coast, reached by winding roads, so guest transport is a real piece of planning. For a couple who wants the view that defines the Amalfi Coast, and the privacy to enjoy it, little compares.
As an indicative guide for the 2026 to 2027 seasons, a full Villa Cimbrone wedding for around a hundred guests, including the required buyout of all nineteen rooms, often starts near EUR 250,000 all in once catering and production are added.

A view that does the work.
Villa Cimbrone is built around its gardens, laid out in the early twentieth century and threaded with avenues, temples and rose beds that lead, finally, to the Terrace of Infinity. That stone balcony, lined with marble busts and suspended above a vertiginous drop to the sea, is one of the great romantic images of Italy. As a wedding backdrop it is unmatched, and an intimate ceremony or a portrait at golden hour here needs almost no styling at all. The villa itself, a small luxury hotel, provides elegant interior and garden spaces for dinner and dancing.
It suits a couple who values atmosphere, privacy and a once in a lifetime setting over a very large guest list, and who is comfortable with a premium budget and the logistics of a clifftop town. Capacity varies by space, from intimate gatherings to larger receptions in the gardens, so a planner will match your numbers to the right combination of terrace, lawn and salon. For a wedding of roughly fifty to a hundred and twenty, with the most famous view on the coast as your backdrop, Villa Cimbrone is the definitive Ravello address.

How do guests reach Ravello?

When is the best time to marry here?
+
May, June and September give warm, settled weather and the gardens at their most fragrant. July and August are hotter and the coast is at its busiest, so the shoulder months are kinder for both the celebration and the journey up.
