We stayed at the Palumbo for four nights and were also a bit disappointed to be put into the annex. But we didn't let it ruin our trip. I'm not even sure the accommodations would've been any better in the main unit. They were clean and ample. We used the hotel as a home base for trips up and down... more

We went to Ravello to escape the bustle of the Amalfi coast for my husband's 60th birthday - and stumbled on the Palumbo. What a treat! The staff were so courteous and accomodating and the food was fabulous - by far the best that we had anywhere else on the Amalfi coast. Lunch on the terrace overlooking the bay is... more

On the strength of other reviews, we booked the Palumbo as a treat to finish our week on the wonderful Amalfi coast. It was ghastly. The hotel clearly wasn't ready, English-speaking staff had to be rustled up, painters were moving ladders, ashtrays full of cigarette ends, washing hanging outside, they hadn't bothered to unnet the lemon trees (everyone else had).... more

We have just finished spending 4 nights at the hotel in November 2007. Genteel decay is one thing , actually allowing a hotel to go completely to seed is another. Facilities are decrepit , room rates are exorbitant for what you get. The almost entirely Sri Lankan (!!!) staff speaks no English .Most of the furniture is falling apart, water... more

Though both Fodors and Frommers had high ratings for this hotel, its tripadvisor ratings are unusually low among the 20 or so hotels in Ravello. So, initally, I was a little apprehensive to book its Torre Junior Suite - of which, I was really smitten by its website pictures ... it had left my almost speechless. Please see pictures enclosed... more

We held our wedding reception at the Hotel Palumbo in Ravello in September 2007 and everything was perfect. The staff were very helpful, the food was wonderful and the Hotel and scenery were beautiful. The reception package provided by the Hotel Palumbo was very reasonable and good value for money. The Hotel also made our wedding cake which looked and... more

I booked and paid for - in advance - 3 nights in a de-lux room with sea view. Two days before departure I rand the hotel to book a transfer and check all was OK. They were looking forward to greeting me they said! On arrival I was informed that due to renovations they did not have a room -... more

My wife and I and another couple spent four nights at the Hotel Palumbo at the end of October, 2006. The hotel has a spectacular view of Amalfi. Ravello is a very small town in a beautiful location. It is a short bus ride to Amalfi and we took a boat from there to Positano. You can also catch a... more

My husband and I stayed at the Palumbo in mid October, at the end of a vacation to celebrate my 50th birthday. We had booked a junior suite through an auction website, and had a package which included breakfast, dinner one evening, and the junior suite. We were shown to a lovely room with outstanding views, and treated extremely well... more
