Villa Cimbrone is one of the most prestigious Hotels de Charme in the entire Mediterranean. The splendour and ambience of yesteryear permeate this 12th century residence. The Vuilleumier family, with its generations of experience in the hotel industry, conserves and protects the original architectural and decorative features.
Its vibrant atmosphere and the awe-inspiring beauty of the location have attracted famous politicians and aristocrats, as well as inspiring many artists and making it a meeting place for English people on the Amalfi Coast, including the famous Bloomsbury Group from London.
Over the years the villa has hosted many illustrious names from science and the arts, including Forster, D.H. Lawrence, Strachey, Keynes, Crick, Piaget, Eliot, Moore and Virginia Woolf. It has also welcomed figures such as the Duke and Duchess of Kent, Churchill, the Agnelli family and the Clintons. A place for passionate encounters, the villa has offered sheltered privacy for famous romances like Greta Garbo’s affair with Leopold Stokowski.
The most beautiful sight that I have ever seen in the world is the panoramic view from Villa Cimbrone on a bright winter’s day, when the sky and the sea are so vividly blue that it is not possible to distinguish them from each other. (Gore Vidal)
The glorious gardens and refined rooms of the Villa make it a unique, elegant location and the ideal backdrop for couples declaring their eternal love for each other.
Expert staff will advise you in the preparation of a personalized approach for the most wonderful day of your lives, taking care of every aspect: from the choice of the setting and the flower arrangements to the music and the entertainment of the guests.
At Villa Cimbrone it is possible to organize symbolic or religious ceremonies, including Protestant and Jewish marriages or Waldensian ones with legal validity, though Catholic and civil services are not available. Great care is taken over the food. The delicious traditional dishes of Campania are made using fresh organic ingredients from the gardens of the Villa. Fine wines to complement the cuisine are expertly chosen by our sommeliers from a well stocked cellar.
