Frommer's Review
You can't even drive up to its entrance because there's no road. But despite the inconvenience, few connoisseurs of art and literature would pass up the chance to stay in one of the most historically evocative villas in Ravello. Amid gardens dotted with statuary, ancient ruins, and late-19th-century re-creations of Greek and Roman temples, it contains only a handful of rooms -- high-ceilinged and gracefully furnished with antiques and fine fabrics, and first-rate bathrooms. Most rooms enjoy views over the countryside. The best choices are nos. 10 and 11. The Garbo Suite is the most requested (she had a tryst here in 1938 with her then-lover Leopold Stokowski before dumping him). More recently, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton slept here. If you arrive by car, park it in the municipal parking lot, a short walk downhill from Ravello's main square, and then call the hotel for a porter, who will haul your luggage up the winding paths to the villa.
