Palazzo Sasso has raised the standard of luxury on the Amalfi Coast with its $20 million three-year renovation of a villa dating to the 12th century. No expense was spared in the restoration. Guests who arrive in Ravello by private car are met by hotel staff in the town center and escorted to the hotel, while another member of staff looks after the car and luggage.
The view from the rooftop terrace (with lounge chairs and two jacuzzis) is spectacular, one that is enjoyed by many of Palazzo Sasso's accommodations. Decor throughout the hotel is refined and elegant. There are a number of comfortable areas where guests can sit and enjoy the view. And the staff is well trained and exceptionally accommodating. All rooms have individual climate control that allows Americans to find the "polar" air conditioning they seek year round! Bathrooms are sparkling white tile with gold fixtures. Every amenity is available - from magnifying mirrors to wash cloths.
One of the most stunning accommodations at the hotel is the spacious Belvedere Suite, a stand alone suite with panoramic views of the Amalfi Coast. It is located a short walk from the hotel's breathtaking swimming pool (completed only after they found a spot that did not disturb the Etruscan ruins!).
The hotel offers a full-service spa with every imaginable treatment. There is also a boutique at the hotel. The food, presentation and service in the hotel's Michelin starred (2 stars) restaurant are almost too perfect to be believed. A full English breakfast and dinner are served on their beautiful outdoor terrace, weather permitting.
NOTE: Inner court rooms have no view. Hotel normally closes from November until mid-March each year. Property not suitable for clients with limited mobility.
