Villa Cimbrone
Our verdict

A boutique hotel in the gardens of Ravello, home to the storied Terrace of Infinity, where the Amalfi Coast falls away to the sea beneath your feet.

Villa Cimbrone is one of the most photographed views in Italy and a genuinely magical place to marry, with romantic gardens, frescoed interiors and a clifftop terrace lined with busts that opens onto the sea and sky. It is a boutique hotel of nineteen rooms rather than a hire only villa, so a wedding here is built around a two night buyout of the whole property.

It rewards a couple who want the most romantic of Amalfi settings and are ready for the cost and logistics of clifftop Ravello, guided by a planner who knows the coast and the villa intimately.

The quick answer

Villa Cimbrone is a boutique hotel set in famous gardens in Ravello, high above the Amalfi Coast, known for its Terrace of Infinity. A wedding here requires a two night exclusive buyout of the hotel's nineteen rooms, indicatively from around EUR 66,000 in 2026, with catering around EUR 290 per person and separate fees for the ceremony space and the terrace. It hosts roughly 30 to 200 guests and sleeps around 38 on site. A full 100 guest wedding realistically starts well into six figures. Confirm capacity, the current rates and the buyout terms directly with the hotel.

The venue in detail

Gardens, a terrace and the sea below.

Style and setting

Villa Cimbrone sits high in Ravello, the most serene of the Amalfi Coast towns, set in romantic gardens that have drawn writers and artists for more than a century. Its celebrated Terrace of Infinity, lined with marble busts, opens onto an uninterrupted view of the coast and the sea far below. The villa itself is a boutique hotel with frescoed rooms, cloisters and quiet corners, and the whole estate carries a wedding with rare romance.

Capacity

Villa Cimbrone hosts roughly 30 to 200 guests depending on the spaces used, with the ceremony, the cocktail hour and the dinner moving through the gardens and terraces. As a boutique hotel of nineteen rooms it sleeps around 38 guests on site. Confirm the seated capacity for your chosen layout with the hotel.

The buyout

A wedding at Villa Cimbrone requires a two night exclusive buyout of all nineteen rooms, which gives you the gardens, the terrace and the hotel in full privacy across the celebration. The wedding party stays on site and the wider group takes hotels elsewhere in Ravello, with the famous terrace and ceremony spaces carrying their own fees on top of the buyout.

What it costs

As an indicative January 2026 guide, the mandatory two night buyout is from around EUR 66,000, with wedding dining around EUR 290 per person and separate fees for the ceremony space and the Terrace of Infinity. For a 100 guest wedding, a realistic total budget once planning, florals, lighting and entertainment are added starts well into six figures. Treat every figure as indicative and confirm directly with the hotel.

Logistics, told straight
Getting there
Naples airport is around an hour and a half to two hours away by road, with the final climb to Ravello on winding coast roads. Many couples bring guests in by private transfer or boat to Amalfi, then up the hill. The villa itself is reached on foot through the gardens.
The buyout
The two night buyout means planning around a few days, not a single one, which gives time for a welcome dinner and a recovery brunch. The walk in to the villa shapes the logistics for suppliers and guests with mobility needs, which a planner manages.
Where guests stay
The inner circle sleeps at the villa, while the wider party takes hotels across Ravello and down in Amalfi. Block book early, since Ravello is small and fills fast in the peak summer months, and plan transfers on the coast roads.
The legal bit
A legal civil marriage is possible in Italy with the right documents, and many couples hold a symbolic ceremony on the terrace and complete the legal step at home or at the town hall. A local planner guides the paperwork and the timeline.
