A medieval palazzo with sumptuous suites, panoramic pool, formal gardens and "the most beautiful panorama in the world" Villa Cimbrone occupies the most gobsmacking position on the entire Amalfi coast, perched on the lip of a sheer-sided spur high above the sea, like Winslet and DiCaprio on the prow of the Titanic. And it's no less romantic. Greta Garbo famously fell in love here, honeymooners vie for the sea-view suites, and high profile weddings are frequent. The grounds are what most people come for: long avenues of umbrella pines, fragrant rose gardens, trellises dripping with wysteria, a belvedere fringed with marble busts, even a pseudo-Roman temple. And these are reason enough for any visit. But stay after they've left, book one of the elegant vaulted rooms and you will have the place sublimely to yourself. Dinner is served on a poolside veranda while the sun reddens the sky above Monte dell'Avvocata and the twinkling Maiori coastline. By day, you can sun yourself by the pool, explore the stately churches and museums of gorgeous Ravello, wander down to Atrani for a swim, or take a boat trip along the rugged peninsula.
