The buildings and interiors of the Palumbo are all from a time long past, reminiscent of some grand lords house in Edwardian times at the turn of the last century. Unfortunately, the rooms,the food, the quality of the furninshings and the smells are all from the same period. Least there be any doubt; dusty rooms with uneven floors with antique... More

It's unusual to find a hotel that's as authentic as the Palumbo nowadays. It's full of history and chacacter in every corner and the staff are exceptionally friendly and pleasant. We stayed in room 50 which was at the top of the tower with a large rooftop balcony and breathtaking views down to the sea. We ate in the hotel... More

We visited the hotel Palumbo for a week in May 13 and we were also lucky enough to have our wedding reception at Palumbo. The building itself like the majority in the beautiful town of Ravello is in keeping with its 12th century heritage and in our opinion should remain this way! Our room which was called the Romantica was... More

The pictures they show are not true to what the hotel is really like. The view is great however you don't sleep outside. The rooms are so outdated and the mattresses are like sleeping on concrete. The bathroom had broken tiles and mildew in between grout, the size of the tub was a joke since plumbing is on the side... More

I love Ravello and I love the series of beautiful luxury Hotels lying one next to the other along the the Via San Giovanni del Toro. They all have charm and character despite the very different facilities & decoration level. Hotel Palumbo could only confirm my previous experiences and did not disappoint my clients & myself who spent a night... More

We stayed here on our wedding night in August 2011 after using the hotel garden for our wedding. The hotel dates back to the 13th century and has all the old Italian charm anyone could wish for,with original marble pillars,antiques filling every room, and the most amazing view over the coast which was the main selling point for choosing it...

Great view. Hotel hasn't been refurbished since the 13th century! The toilet in the room leaked, which made the tile on the floor like an ice rink. It was never fixed. The shower curtain was hanging off. The knob fell off the water temperature adjuster. The refrigerator was not cold. The decor of the room was horrible. The mattress was... More

We came back to stay for a big wedding anniversary having had a coffee here when we were just married. It lived up to expectations although not quite as luxurious as some newer five-star hotels.ravello itself is amazing and if you go outside of high summer it is much nicer than down the hill in the coast. Staff were fab... More

We just stayed at the Hotel Palumbo for 7 nights. It is a 13th century palazzo with unbelievable views of the Mediterranean and neighboring villages dotting the hillside. The public parts of the hotel are breathtaking, only second to the view. Real Italian antiques and paintings fill this hotel for a most elegant, yet comfortable setting. A wide marble staircase...
