Hotel Graal

Hotel Graal sits at the heart of Ravello, the mountaintop village perched 365 metres above the Amalfi Coast that Wagner, Greta Garbo and a long procession of artists have called the most beautiful place on earth. The hotel's seasonal outdoor pool, poolside bar, restaurant and free buffet breakfast offer a complete base within the village, while the Terrace of Infinity at Villa Cimbrone and the celebrated gardens of Villa Rufolo — whose Wagner-inspired setting gave birth to the Ravello Festival's summer classical music programme — are just minutes on foot from the front door. Hotel Graal's concierge arranges private winery tours, scooter rentals and the short but steep drive down to the Amalfi Coast beaches. The Piazza Duomo, with its medieval Duomo di Ravello and the famous viewpoint balcony, is a short stroll from the property. A fireplace in the lobby, romance packages and the village's extraordinary mountain quiet make Hotel Graal a favourite for travellers seeking an alternative to the busier coast below.
